I am new to the whole vaporizer thing (and even to the MJ thing). I don't currently own a vape but I have several homemade devices and am planning on building a vape. I'm a Mechanical Engineer and so I wanted to design my own vaporizer from the ground up. As I was doing this I got to wondering why most vaporizers use fans? If you had a closed chamber could you not just raise the temp inside the chamber to the correct temp (about 390F) and leave it at that temp for a few minutes so that you get good vaporization then remove the MJ and heater from the chamber and inhale the vapor? It seems like you'd be able to get more complete vaporization and have more control over the density of the smoke (by controlling the amount of MJ you put in). Is there some sort of oxidation or chemical reaction that requires airflow? Would this work? As I said, I'm new to this whole thing so if this is already a common approach I apologize.
