Hello
I have been reading some stuff online and found this about the Volcano.
Apparently "researchers who used a gas chromatography mass spectrometer (GCMS) to examine marijuana vapors produced from the famous Volcano vaporizer.
The Volcano’s vapor was 95% THC with traces of cannabinol (CBN). The remaining 5% consisted of small amounts of three other components: a minor cannabinoid, a suspected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAHs), and an unspecified aromatic.
PAHs are classified as pollutants.
But the Volcano is a lot better than smoked marijuana. Testing of smoke from a marijuana joint found dozens more compounds, and at least a half dozen PAHs. Only 12% of the smoked sample contained cannabinoids. "
Firstly, I am very impressed if that figure for the Volcano is true. 95% pure THC! Wow!
Does anybody have any info or links to similar studies? I would like to know how all this stacks up and if there are any useful comparisons to be made between different makes or types of vaporizer. Would also be interested to see if there is any data on spliffs rolled with tobacco etc....
