Salutations GrapeFruitRoop,
Well, combustion smoke was exactly why i've quit hashish, euh... so long ago i can't tell for sure anymore. The last years of cannabis consumption depended on dry flowers although it caused throat irritation leading to caughing bad enough to ruin it, so i eventually quit that too in mid-2007. The year after moving to Limoilou (Québec) i had become a non-smoker but this was at the cost of THC intake; i stayed "clean" (...) until i wanted to offer a person dear to me some of those "e-Cigs" i noticed on the internet somehow, only then vaporizers showed up on my radar. Kind of late in life, almost too late and that's a regret which shall remain.
Google indexed my progress related in pictures in plenty of details already, so i'll spare myself going through most of that again. Good for you if there's something to match present expectations, that can't be a bad thing basically. As far as i'm concerned it was all too clear a noisy balloon and its associated ritual had nothing in common with "joint" smoking except THC, so the pipe seemed a bit closer but it just didn't work as sold because of the caughs once more... In retrospective i realized it wasn't satisfying enough for me to FC, and yes i know all too well what you're refering to.
It turns out the cigarette/"joint" ritual went with more "
VILIFICATION" than just chronic self-poisoning combustion alone - and being an ex-smoker yourself i think you understood the consumption method ain't only revolving around some "buzz" experience anymore. Once combustion-free other features emerge like "monster clouds", which may be fun when still a young man but i feel most concerned that this still fails to provide some fair amount of opportunities to undo old nuisance habits, including via "neuro-plasticity" which i'm one to think it's NOT uni-directional, because i've finally managed to find a much better trade-off not too remote from the ritual of my 20 years.
Lets consider a cigarette burns in bursts and it ain't designed to switch-off nor change to an hypothetic "stand-by" mode between 2 inhalations. This means precious noble molecules are sacrificed even when passing the "joint", and so does a typical "Hot Dry Air Vaporizer" including the brand/model that is quick to get mentioned in FC discussions. The HerbalAire seemed like a fair solution initially, because it had a roomy convective heat converter powered by a 50 Watts heater element, so it worked fine for 3 different configurations that i tried - BUT something was still missing and that was
H2O essentially.
Clean burning (blue flame) butane does provide just a tiny bit of moisturization but it also comes with
CO2; that's no worse than a soft drink but i'm uncertain about its benefits except power. So i placed multiple fresh air inlets along the lungs path to help put back some balance relative to oxygen and i never looked back afterwards. In order to get a closer "joint" emulation the bowl needs to be changed frequently since the containment (formerly rolling paper) wall won't get depleted on-demand and fall off conveniently. One solution would be to go synthetic all the way by spraying an extract on heat-resistant tape, possibly from a disposable roll as in toy "cap guns". ... In such scenario 1 heat "burst" has to be visualized as if it were a "bubble" passing through that inert substrate so the cannabis load gets "Released" because of
ENERGY -
NOT TEMPERATURE - while "Transport" is next to take place almost instantly, e.g. as soon as the goodies are volatized for all practicall purposes. Euh... M'well, at least it's not a matter of 2~3 minutes, or 15 if sucking on it like from a straw; anyway that's unlike the cigarette fashion that i knew so there's no 1-to-1 substitution with a slow-steady consumption method. By chance the pipe breaks this time-domain barrier by keeping the bowl relatively cold BEFORE & AFTER the "Release" + "Transfer" phases which happen nearly simultaneously. That's what pleased me in the VaporGenie Classic, though at the cost of patient and costly customization that started in 2013...
What's nice with "Pulse Mode" is that all substances ready to leave (trichome glands suspended above the contact surfaces of a vegetal substrate...) only endure minimal heating as a result of getting transported away by the airflow, which in my Induction Heat concept translates as the KISS implementation of a "Solid State" thermal valve similar to simple semiconductor junctions. No airflow = OFF, otherwise it's ON but there's a strict limit on its depletion period set by design, by virtue of fixed physical variables pre-determined in my Bi-Energy Hybrid Core.
It turns out Induction Heat adds the "
Curie Effect" to our tool box by offering a most convenient feature:
Temperature Self-Regulation. Which ain't really new at all knowing JAi's "Curie Pyrolyzer" got pattented in 1969. So
it's already been done before, just not yet! ... And there's more!!
One consequence from strict limitation of TEMPERATURE in such core implies its level of ENERGY is fixed too. Starting from there it's now possible to match that amount of energy to its workload, whatever that is as each hybrid core can have it's own preset limit, determined by the "Specific Heat Capacity" (etc.) of a perforated (heat-exchanging) metal disc enclosed by a pair of SiC Foam pellets. Ah and now it's really interresting because SiC is a much better heat conductor than metal and yet also a better heat isolator in foamy form, which may seem paradoxal and yet this is quite similar to a "valve" or a switch. Then, having the heat bubble wirelessly injected right between these SiC layers the sandwich structure actually captures its energy long enough to perform much the same operation as when a cigarette's tip starts glowing prior to combustive extraction. So it's not only combustion-free to consume cannabis that way, as a bonus one gets
Self-Moisturization conditioning + "
Micro-Dosing" compatibility without a risk to deny potential for dosing abuse - the choice is ours - the main difference residing in a multiplication of self-awareness hints related to neuro-plastic learning combined to "conservation" in the meantime (it co$ts less!), because no heat-driven waste occurs in between tokes, while the pipe is cool once more (and that's its normal state), the pulse-heating being essentially a
transitional process and that's exactly why the temperature charts are of no use in this particular context: energy doesn't move instantly and much less in matter.
The pipe costs only a hundred buck in Canada, too bad the manufacturer still fails/refuses to gather the enormous potential of his own forgotten fig. #11/#12 item of the inital patent. Not to mention i believe FC done nothing to help with that, quite on the contrary and not even for a noble cause. But, euh... YMMV.
In any case i can't regress after all this: briefly put,
their shadows belong to the light i follow...
Good day, have fun!!
