-The basic principle of vaporization is to try to construct the heat source (in the joint, the embers) in such a way that no harmful substances are produced. So you just want to heat the THC and the flavors to the point where they become gaseous and can be absorbed into the lungs.+The basic principle of vaporization is to try to construct the heat source (in the joint, the embers) in such a way that that hardly any pollutants are produced ([[https://tinyurl.com/57krjppd|FOPH fact sheet]]).

 This, of course, presents several problems. THC begins to vaporize at temperatures above about 150 degrees. In chemistry literature, one finds the value 200 degrees for the boiling point of THC. In practice, vaporization begins at lower temperatures. But at temperatures from about 250 degrees plant material (hemp flowers, tobacco) begins to burn (so you have then the same as in a joint or a pipe). And even before that, at about 220 degrees, plant material starts to turn black - it doesn't burn, but it slowly chars. This, of course, presents several problems.
