> Keep in mind that “vapor” is used to disguise that, in all cases whether nicotine or pot or etc, people are heating up a substance to its smoke point and inhaling that smoke. They use “vapor” because it sounds like “water vapor” - which is harmless - but it’s definitely not that.
This is not true. It's producing an aerosol, partially by condensation of vapor produced by heating the glycerine and propylene glycol mixture to its boiling point.
It isn't combusting, at least not when everything is working the way that it should, and so is not properly a "smoke".
- mirekrusin 7y agoThere are also “coils” that vibrate to create vapour which happens at room temperature.
- justaj 7y agoThis is interesting. Do you know what this technology is called? I also wonder whether it's more efficient in terms of battery use.
- drankula3 7y agoIt's an ultrasonic vaporizer. Below is a link talking about it. https://youtu.be/aKhPj7uFD0Y https://youtu.be/aKhPj7uFD0Y
- jdietrich 7y ago>Do you know what this technology is called? Ultrasonic atomization. It's used widely in manufacturing for applying thin-film coatings, because it provides a very consistent and controllable spray of very fine droplets. The technology has been applied to vaping by Usonicig, but it's not hugely popular - most people prefer warm vapour.
- nyolfen 7y agowow, this is the first i’ve heard of that for vapes. any recommended reading?
