Do vaporizer harm your health?

Recently we have been hearing more and more reports about the death of some vapers caused by illegally produced cartridges for concentrates or e-liquids. It is important to know that vaporizers are primarily herbal vaporizers. The principle of operation is different from that of an e-cigarette. 

In the cartridges in question were impurities and diluents which led to such extreme problems for consumers. We generally advise against buying concentrates on the black market.

The official statement by Storz and Bickel:

"Recent reports of lung disease associated with vaping products are causing concern to many vaporizer users. While the exact cause of these diseases is not yet known, it appears that all significant incidents are associated with the use of illegally manufactured vaping cartridges containing vitamin E acetate. This means that the currently known cases are exclusively related to the evaporation of liquids and e-liquids.

Vaporizers have several advantages over traditional smoking methods when it comes to consuming herbs. Here are a few:

  • Health benefits: Vaporizing herbs produces vapor instead of smoke, which eliminates the harmful toxins and carcinogens that are created when smoking. As a result, using a vaporizer can be less harmful to your lungs and overall health.
  • Better taste and flavor: Vaporizing herbs preserves the flavors and aromas of the herbs much better than smoking, as the heat used in vaporizing is gentler and more precise. This can make the experience of consuming herbs more enjoyable and flavorful.
  • Efficiency: Vaporizing herbs can be more efficient than smoking, as less herb is required to achieve the desired effect. This is because vaporizing releases the active compounds in the herb more efficiently than smoking, which can burn some of the herb without releasing its full potency.
  • Cost savings: Because vaporizing requires less herb to achieve the same effect, it can be a more cost-effective way to consume herbs over time.
  • Convenience: Vaporizers are often smaller and more portable than traditional smoking devices, making them easier to use on the go or in public settings.
  • Overall, vaporizing herbs can provide a safer, more efficient, and more enjoyable way to consume herbs than traditional smoking methods.
