Visual Comparison: Smoking Vs Vaporizing
As I enjoy vaporizing mianly because of the health benefits, I decided to do a little pseudo-experiment to compare just how much tar gets produced by a vaporizer versus other means of smoking. For this experiment, I decided to use my trusty Extreme Q and small bong with a 14mm downstem. Starting with the bong, I took 5 decent sized hits (the size of my bowl) and then exhaled into a paper towel. Afterwards, I took 5 Extreme Q hits and exhaled into the same paper towel. The results are shown in the photo below:
Note the difference
As you can see, the vaporizer produced no visible buildup, whereas the bong produced a very dark and tarry color. For someone who uses cannabis fairly often, this tar can build up in your lungs as well as irritate your throat. I would imagine a joint would produce even more tar, as it isn’t filtered at all.
I’ve had my vape for about ~4 months and it didn’t take more then 2-3 weeks before I felt health benefits. Not only did I lower my daily consumption from 1.5g/day to ~0.5g/day and remain as stoned as ever, I could also feel how much easier it was for my lungs to oxygenate my blood.
Best investment of my life!
Everyone loves what you guys tend to be up too. Such clever work
and exposure! Keep up the terrific works guys I’ve incorporated you guys to blogroll.
Cool experiment! If only more people could see this picture to see how clean the vapour from vaporizers really is.
