When you burn herbs in a cigarette or pipe there are a lot of unwanted side effects from the high heat. The most distressing of these is the destruction and loss of active ingredients.
Burning anything will produce all sorts of weird science and chemical by-products that you don't want in your lungs.
What the vaporizer does is different from any smoking device. Your herb is gently heated to the point where active ingredients are vaporized and released but never reaches combustion temperature. You avoid inhaling carbon monoxide, tar, and a lot of the bad chemistry.
If you are concerned about the dangers of inhaling any sort of smoke then the BC Vaporizer is your healthy alternative!
The BC Vaporizer temperature goes up to 300C. THC vaporizes around 200C. If the active ingredients of a particular herb you want to use vaporize below 300C it should work fine in the vaporizer.
