herbalAire H2.2 Review - With High Output Kit

Top notch. Do you have a reference you can share re. Benzene production at high temperatures? Pretty scary but has my chemistry antennae twitching because it does not seem to make chemical sense. There should be no benzene in well-grown buds. And if it is the result of a chemical reaction in the bud that occurs at high temperatures, would you not also get the same reaction from combustion?

I would have to look through some older info, but if oh google vapor and benzene you would likely find some relevant sources. It has been discussed as being present in a few studies of vaporized cannabinoids. It had something specifically to do with the heat, which is where 392f, comes into play as above that temperature is when they could begin to detect it. In minuscule amounts? I'm not clear, but it was definitely present.

It definitely wasn't the result of benzene somehow being a contaminant in the sample cannabis, if was some kind of reaction. And benzene is also present in cigarette smoke and might also be produced at 392, but tobacco and cannabis are chemically different so they may not react the same. Also, benzene I believe is present in an unlit/uncombusted cigarette.

Unrelated, but here is a journal discussing benzene being found in ecigs with PG / VG mixes and it appears it forms from the PG/VG.

Excellent review and full of great tips for getting the most out of your HA! It has taken my HA 2.1 sessions to another level.
I am on my second HA, although i went from a 2.2 to a 2.1 and now have ordered the Elite version! All bases covered and never a disappointing experience!
Great info from beginner to expert alike!
Really good review.. I've owned mine for a couple of years and still haven't tried bags, you've made me want to try them. The stuff about the screens is interesting too, I've been thinking about starting to use ceramic screens in the crucible like some other members have talked about.
This thorough review is a terrific example for others. It covers everything you need to know about the HA, including details about how to get the best from it. Thanks for the great start for our reviews section.
