What do condoms and the Herbalizer have in common?
They are both safe, non-toxic, and fun to use. To make the Herbalizer® safe and non-toxic, we built in many novel features, and carefully sourced and selected each material.
Only the highest-grade materials are used in construction of Herbalizer’s® airflow path. Proprietary material choices are the result of years of research, testing and exhaustive trial and error that are part of our “secret sauce.” But, we are here to explain why Herbie is safe so you can now breathe easier.
From the glass halogen bulb heating element encased by an anodized aluminum convection tube, to the temperature resistant, medical grade silicon whip and balloon valve, you are ensured of an unparalleled vaporization experience of purity and flavor. It begins with the ambient air intake through the bottom-side vent located 1/4? below a quiet, yet powerful blower. Before the air is heated, it passes from the blower, through highly stable silicon and plastic ducting, to the heater intake. Cool air enters the convection tube. Air is then heated as it swirls around the halogen glass bulb through the oven. From the oven, hot air is directed across a stainless steel guide, through a stainless screen, and finally to the oven herb chamber junction.
The oven is anodized aluminum and the herb chamber is lined with stainless steel. The airflow channel, including the heat source and herb chamber is composed of glass and passivated metals to render the surfaces that come into contact with the heated airflow non-reactive.

The Herbalizer’s® herb chamber is lined with stainless-on-stainless metal sleeving and easily replaceable stainless screens. The herb chamber’s high-temp plastic exterior (rated at over 600 degrees F) is surrounded by heat resistant silicon to keep your fingers from getting burned. The silicon grip around the herb chamber keeps things cool.

The bowl outlet connects to the FDA medical-grade silicon whip using a 600+ degree F rated adapter, or directly to a silicon balloon attachment. The vapor capture balloon and whip are both FDA approved food-grade, and neither will outgas within operational temperatures.
Both the plastic and the silicon used in the Herbalizer are the same stuff used in food-safe high-temperature cookware. Together, these materials make it completely safe for herbalizing, inside and out.
When our beta testers were invited to come and help us make the Herbalizer® a better product, all testers commented on the purity and clean taste of the vapor (unsolicited, mind you). No leaching of chemicals or compromising taste, guaranteed! Only flawless vapor delivered safely every time.
To add to the Herbalizer’s® safety and the user’s peace of mind, we included some extra nifty features. All devices include an auto shutoff feature that intelligently determines when it’s no longer in use, so you can leave the device on and not worry about its supercharged heating element. The Herbalizers® incorporate a 3-axis accelerometer that detects accidental tip over, and multiple temperature sensors with intelligent software for additional safety.
It’s amazing we’ve survived this long without such safeguards..
