Vaporizer Temp Guide

on

 

 

The vaporizer is a healthy tool for aromatherapy and can be used with a number of plant substances and oils.

Vaporization doesn't facilitate combustion to release active ingredients in plants, oils and blends. The substances are instead, released through the process of sublimation or the conversion into a gaseous state, otherwise noted as vaporizing. Since there is no burning of the materials, substances are not in any way lost or altered and one is taking in the material in the purest form. Not only that, by using a vaporizer there is no production of toxic compounds, carcinogens or by products.

In order for users to get the best vaporizer experience possible, the DaVinci vaporizer's temperature control settings will come in handy when vaporizing your favorite aromatherapy materials.
