I remember waaaay back when. There were vapes on the market that weren't true vaporisers (the heat source was too hot and effectively cooked the weed, rather than getting it to the optimum temperature to release the THC...I used to know the exact temp for that but I have forgotten). Having tried the one in the cannabis museum in Amsterdam, my bro and J tried to deign the perfect home vaporiser. Harder than you'd think. The problem with most of them being that you can't maintain a specific temperature: it gets hot then it continues to get hotter, or it cools down. A true vaporiser shouldn;t actually 'superheat' the weed. Get it too hot and you lose a lot of the thc. They did eventually come up with a superb design,. but the cost of manufacture put it out of most people's price range. It had heat sensors that would adjust the temperature of the heatpad accordingly. Difficult to justify when there were cheaper 'vaporisers' on the market. We stuck to our pipe designs.

Nowadays I suspect they've got a lot better.
