Vaporizers for Using Medical Marijuana
Articles August 14th, 2009The best method of intake of medical marijuana is by vaporization. The active ingredients of marijuana are called ‘cannabinoids’. Cannabis has been limitedly used as a medicine due to the harmful effects of the combustion products released on smoking marijuana. Therefore good vaporizer designs are being researched upon to use marijuana for health purposes. Cannabinoids vaporize at a temperature lower than the burning temperature of marijuana. This fact is used as principle by most vaporizers available currently in the market. Of the many vaporizers we will discuss two in this article. One is ‘VaporTech Vaporizer’ from Florida-based VaporTech and the other is ‘Volatilizer’ from California-based Chirotech.

The staff at CHAMP considers volatilizer as one of their favorites. It has a device that resembles a wand. This can be plugged into an electrical outlet and terminates into a round heating element. The design of the element is such that it fits over a special bowl that cab be used by the user coupled with his own bong or pipe. Its market price is $199.95. On the other hand, VaporTech has a more complex model. In it the marijuana is heated in a small test tube placed in the heating unit and the vapors are heated via a plastic tube. If left for more than few minutes, marijuana will get burned init. This is one disadvantage with VaporTech. Its market value is $140.
