Convection vs Conduction in Vaporizers

Vaporizers
Convection and conduction are two different ways of heating things. In general terms, conduction involves passing heat around an item to heat it up. Convection requires that a heating element or heat source touch the item to be heated. So what does this mean for vaporizers? How Conduction Works in Vaporizers Most modern vaporizers use conduction to heat whatever is put inside them. This is because it generally allows for more precise temperature control. The intensity of the heat waves can be increased or decreased with a touch of a button, and the resulting change is nearly instantaneous. Popular vaporizers like the Volcano use the conduction method. The other advantage of using conduction is that it helps to avoid combustion. The point of using a vaporizer rather than a cigarette, joint…

The Big Debate: Should Cigarette Smoking Be Banned

Quit Smoking Resources
In the past seven or eight decades, numerous laws have been passed banning smoking in certain parts of the country. Each state has their own set of laws regarding smoking allowances. Some outlaw cigarette use completely in public spaces, whereas other allow for limited use in certain areas, such as bars or clubs.

Let’s look at both sides of the debate. The Case for Smoking The main argument against a ban on smoking is that people should be allowed to do what…

Electronic Cigarettes

Vapor X Review Vapor Production - 77%77 Battery Life - 76%76 Flavors - 67%67 Selection - 54%54 Prices - 33%33 Summary A decent brand but honestly nothing special. 61.4 % Vapor X was only founded in 2012 but they have always offered pretty decent vapor products.

Does Smoking Weed Cause Cancer?

Quit Smoking Resources
There have been reports that cannabis can actually cure cancer. These are largely unsubstantiated, and they are mostly promoted by flimsy research and results that cannot be replicated. While a cure for any kind of cancer would be astounding, there is no proof that weed is that cure. What should be asked about marijuana is whether it causes cancer in the first place. We already know that cigarettes cause cancer, and marijuana is consumed in a similar way. It may be safe to assume many of the same effects would be taking place. But there are different ingredients in marijuana than in tobacco. That makes the negative outcomes different as well. They do share some common cancer-causing agents, however. The most notable one of these is benzpyrene. This is a…

Nicotine Inhaler – A Good Quit Smoking Tool?

Smoking Cessation Tools
When attempting to quit smoking, the ‘habit’ of having a cigarette is often harder to get over than the actual nicotine addiction. In 1998, the FDA approved the nicotine inhaler for use, with the hopes that this type of nicotine replacement therapy could ease both the physical nicotine withdrawal symptoms and the psychological habit of smoking. How It Is Used Nicotine inhalers are available only by prescription. The design of it is very basic, with a cartridge that contains nicotine that plugs into a plastic mouthpiece. When cravings for a cigarette occur, the inhaler is used much like a cigarette would be. The instructions state to either inhale deeply into the back of the throat, or take short puffs off of the inhaler. As air passes through the inhaler, nicotine…
