Salutations,
It's been quite a while since YouTube videos made me enthusiastic again, though in today's case the good "news" actually date back to late '21. Put shortly this is about valorizing silicon carbide foam's unique space-age thermal properties by turning it into a "wick" applied to conduction mode, e.g. where viscous "dab" substances get sucked in by capillary action before the heat vaporizes them. The manufacturer's name is Lumenary Inc and its device is called 'The Beam' vaporizer, actually patented (US20210379301A1) by its co-founder & inventor Robert Schneider who only mentions some micro-porous "blackbody" in his paper. To be honest i yet have to read it but his strategy appears to imply Pulse Heating characteristics, e.g. which promote the preservation of flavor until complete depletion of a workload, on top of simplifying materials selection tremendously.
Target temperature of the SiC wick itself revolves around 204~216 °C (400~420 °F) max., consequently we can assume an airborn fumet never really reaches its point of combustion. One charge is expected to provide 120+ "hits" and one refill supports 3 to 5 inhalations. The oil and extract cores are made of ceramic, the oil container (for storage) presumably nylon-like synthetic material but that's not critical in a low-temperature situation anyway: only the cores are exposed to secondary heat, nonetheless borosilicate carts are now planned apparently. The adjustable mouthpiece is mounted on magnets, the SiC wick gets energized in less than 10 seconds. Judging from the few reviews available i'd say decarbed products would work best but there's also mention of dabs, live rosin, liquid diamonds, distillates, terps and CBD. Warranty covers an exceptional period of 10 years.
No doubt convection applied to dry flowers would become this manufacturer's ultimate option the day it finally adds a table model as their purist offer.
