Surprised terpenes aren't mentioned in article -- when heated too hot they can degrade into benzene. Seems like they are targeted for something to extract not remove (although I know nothing about cannabis - only industrial contaminants).
Not sure how hot the heating elements are supposed to get but if they get too hot you're inhaling stuff that basically creates pneumonia symptoms.
- wcchandler 7y agoThe mighty vape is pretty well respected and ranges from 180C to 200C. Would that be hot enough to convert some into Benzene?
