Sorry for the double post, but I feel like this one requires it's own post.
So someone on Reddit's Trees section brought up this controversial topic:
http://www.reddit.com/r/trees/comments/18nk52/why_i_believe_vaporizing_can_be_more_dangerous/
Apparently the Inhalater also uses this ceramic element in terms of heating? At the very least its name was brought up as one.
Makes me paranoid about my new device coming in the mail
You should read more here. The post is either ignorantly or deliberately full of half-true statements, misleading speculation, and unjustified false conclusions. The responses are even more laughable in their ignorance.
A lot of vapourizers use the same class of ceramic heating element but it's nowhere near 99%, so right away he starts with exaggeration. I have four different vapourizers within arm's reach and none of them have a ceramic heating element.
He claims there are zero health benefits from vapourizing, which is so ridiculous it's hard to know where to start.
He says that since none of them are approved by the FDA they can make whatever claims they want, which is complete nonsense.
He makes claims about the safety of long-term use based on talking to the company that makes the ceramic heating element for "almost every major brand blow dryer, heat gun, and soldering iron sold in the US." Given the reliability of his other claims, I don't see why we should trust his word on what they told him, which quite frankly seems hard to believe. If the ceramic elements crack that quickly (6 months to a year) then I'd think somebody here would have noticed. Perhaps we've all been snoozing, but I really don't think so.
