Hey y'all I'm new to FC community, I was thinking about purchasing the Rogue or Edge but I had a concern that you guys mentioned earlier in the thread.
The silicone seals seem like it could off-gas pretty easy and emit hazardous chemicals. I trust literally everything else about the product, even the stainless steel, its just that silicone doesn't seem very safe under the high temperatures. Lmk your guys' thoughts. I might just buy it anyways since everyone loves the fury products and trusts the company.
The reason I ask is cause my main priority is safety with these vaporizers. Convection is obviously a healthier alternative to combustion but if these vaporizers bring problems of their own, then it kinda defeats the purpose of vaping cannabis imo.
This has been a concern of mine for many years.
I think Healthy Rips has tried their best to avoid most things but unless you want wood or glass, you are left with plastic vaping devices like this and others.
In regards to the silicone, I know some people may say we cook with such but there is a big difference between touching a silcone scraper in a pan to move food around, a scraper that barely heats up, and heating up silicone in a vaporizer and breathing it into your lungs.
Food goes into the stomach and can handle a lot.
Lungs for inhalation can be problematic in the long run.
Yes you can swap out for the tiny microdosing steel chambers but that then restricts airflow.
Its tricky though because most of these vaporizers today rely on silicone to create seals. Even in Dynavap they are tiny but at least there they are out of the airflow area.
There are products out there that don't use silicone but then you run into stuff like breathing in butane. Its one of the reasons why I have not bought the sticky brick. There is no way in heck I'm using butane down a tube then breathing in lol.
Right now Im using a dynavap and getting an induction heater.
That should rule out 99% of (heating, battery, circuitry, airflow etc ) issues.
I have been looking at the fury edge and rogue but there are a few things that I'm still on the fence about. Though I hear good things from others.
