That's a great study that I've read over a few times (part of what led me to creating the above table, my personal version has a few columns with bioavailability based on my devices), but I wanted to note a few factors:This study gives the SOLO 82% plus/minus 6% and compares to other very known models, it's very efficient extracting in my experience, the AVB content in my ABV is very low, and there is a lot left on the stems.
Medicinal Cannabis: In Vitro Validation of Vaporizers for the Smoke-Free Inhalation of Cannabis - PMC
Inhalation by vaporization is a promising application mode for cannabis in medicine. An in vitro validation of 5 commercial vaporizers was performed with THC-type and CBD-type cannabis. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry was used to determine ...www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
"[For] validation of the Arizer Solo®, the temperature was set to the highest level (7), which according to the manufacturer’s instructions corresponds to 210°C....The heater was switched on and the glass tube, pre-filled with the test materials, mounted on the device and the vacuum pump started immediately after reaching the temperature [of 205°C]. The aspiration of the vapor through the SPE column was performed, as described for the Plenty Vaporizer, for 3 min at 420 mbar followed by 1 min at 100 mbar."
I don't know about you, but I rarely vape for four minutes straight at the highest heat setting (410°F), let alone with a vacuum assist. It does not discredit the figure or study at all, but it is worth mentioning that the percentage efficiencies reached were about as thorough of extraction as I'm assuming we can reach under lab conditions. I'm not disputing that the Solo rips, or that it is likely extremely efficient, but these numbers should be contextualized, especially when it comes to micro-dosing.
