subject: Top 5 Reason To Buy A Vaporizer Instead Of Making One [print this page] There are plenty of different designs to follow to make a homemade vaporizer. They are quite simple to put together and generally much cheaper than purchasing a manufactured product. The downside to this plan is that there are some definite drawbacks to making your own vaporizer which will be discussed later in the article.
The most obvious disadvantage of a homemade vaporizer is the actual experience that you may have when using it. With a vaporizer that has no defined temperature control, it is very easy to overheat and burn the substance that you are using in the vaporizer. This is contradictory to the whole concept of a vaporizer which is designed to heat without combustion. When this happens, you have essentially created a fire pit rather than a vaporizer. The result is a waste of herbs and a potentially very bad tasting, smoky vapor.
Additionally, creating a vaporizer from household substances is potentially toxic. When assembling vaporizer parts, you likely need some type of adhesive such as glue or tape. Heating substances like this and other materials such as plastic creates toxic fumes that can cause great harm to your system. A lot of materials create carcinogens when melted, burned or even heated and carcinogenic material is a leading cause of cancer.
Another serious aspect of a homemade vaporizer is the issue of safety. With the potential of materials combusting, a vaporizer that you assemble yourself can be a dangerous fire hazard. The temperature required to vaporize most herbs is high enough to cause many household materials to catch fire. Even if the vaporizer is not left unattended, a fire can become out of control very quickly.
A less severe but nonetheless viable reason to refrain from using a homemade vaporizer is the fact that manufactured vaporizers are much more efficient. With specially designed heating elements, valve sets and vapor capture devices; these marketed vaporizers make the best use of your herbal product. The temperature control that they provide heats the material to the proper temperature to maximize the quality of the vapor. Capturing a quality vapor and using it without wasting it due to leakage reduces the amount of material that you have to use in the vaporizer and greatly enhances the experience.
Although making your own homemade vaporizer may seem like a sensible, inexpensive way to go, in the long run, the risk is not worth the money you will be saving at the onset. It not only costs more money long term due to the additional plant herbs that you have to purchase, but the health risks and other hazards make spending a little extra money on a quality vaporizer a more viable choice.
