[QUOTE:jdee, post: 577311, member: 6233"]“Dabbing may be less harmful than smoking,” explained Shen, “but it’s still not vaporizing. When you’re heating the TI nail 900 to 1000 degrees and you’re dropping some oils onto it and watching it sizzle, that pad is getting hotter than a frying pan when you’re frying your food. Those char marks that are created, that’s combustion. That is also what happens when you use combustion to heat concentrates for dabbing.”
Water has a boiling point of 100c, if I heat my water to its boiling point and inhale the vapors, am I vaporizing or combustinGH eg theer? Hash oil just like cooking oil has a smoke point between 300-500f. Quercetin a flavonoid found in cannabis has a boiling point of 482f. Dabbers know to just barely let the nail or skillet turn a dull red before letting it cool for anywhere from 5-20 secs to reach the appropriate vaporization temperature. Most oil is not winterized meaning it's a mixture of essential oils and epicuticular waxes. 410F Cuticle waxes begin to burn, fumes and co-polymerize (like caramelized sugar in a skillet). If plant wax fumes don't interest you, winterize your oil. Or don't and vape below 410f. I went ahead and built a DIY e-nail and found with a carb cap it's a great way to control the temp, while getting all the flavor, without the. Aeed for torches.
Water isnt combusting at 100c because that is its boiling point. Oil is not the same as water because because it has hundreds of compounds that boil at different temperatures from as low as 104f so unless you start at that temperature and build your way up to a high temp, you will be burning the lower boiling compounds if you start at a high temp. Water also has no carbons in it so it womt burn the way oil will. Oi, is a hydrocarbon. You dont see the burning because oil is not like bud so it wont leave as much ash but that is because its not a carbohydrate like plant fibers are.
I dont think vaping or dabbing oil is bad if you do it once in a while but all the time I think down the line it may cause problems. First because you are takkng in a high amou t of cannabinoids at one time which I dont think is good for you endocannabinoid system. If absorbing too much food like sugars or carbs too fast isnt good for you, I dont think doing the same with cannabis is any different. Secondly, you are taking in burned oils into your bodh and overtime these can accumlate in your body and as you get older your body may not be able to detoxify these substances which means it may cause sickness when you're older. The thing is no one will be able to make the connection since the substances have been dormant in your adipose tissue(fat cells) and released overtime but is effecting you as an older person because you have a weak immjne system. I think we will start to see sickness occur in high oil/hash smokers as time goes on because of what I described. Of course lifestyle will play a apart because people who constantly sweat from exercise and eat properly, these problems may not come abour but from nonactive peol,e and those who eat garbage, it will be seen. Time will tell but, in the mean time I wouldnt take those chamces of using oil daily unless its ingestion or rasing the temperature in 5-10 degree increments from as low as possible to around 460f.
point", so to speak, and I won't ever push above it again.
semi-portable.. the e-nano needs to be plugged in the entire time doesnt it?
