vaporizing tobacco?

[SurReality89]

so i've been thinking that perhaps this is really the "best" way to vaporize nicotine for the benefit of health, idk just a thought. looking at the ingredients in e-juice i'm thinking it is weird vaporizing vegetable glycerin and whatever flavoring is in it.

i don't mean just taking tobacco out of a cigarette but more using rolling tobacco, i mean i know that most tobacco is far from natural from other chemicals in it and the way its grown for mass production; i have some norwegian shag i'm rolling and i'm thinking of throwing some in a vaporizer that is meant to vaporize plant matter. i have an old whip for my vaporizer and i'm think about changing the screen and seeing how it compares to my e-cig.

i'm curious about how it may compare health-wise and just overall experience. i haven't ever heard of people doing doing this, and i don't know why. but i do know of people using ........ tinctures from medical dispensaries in e-cigs and some dispensaries even sell e-cigs just for the tincture they sell (which is a vegetable glycerin base just like e-juice, but most people just use it orally because ... and ... tastes good. although when i suck through e-juice it is nasty like a dip of chew but maybe some people use it orally) also i know people mix other chemicals into an e-juice for vaping... so why not try it the other way around in a way?

I don't think it would vary much from smoking it. The point of vaping is that we don't get the carcenogens that are in cigar/cigarette tobacco.
While smoking and vaping are different in many ways, they're still alike in quite a few too. I don't really feel like going into detail right now 'cuz I'm too tired, but I don't expect you'll see anywhere near the results your hoping for, and certainly not ones that would make the price of a plant vaporizer worth it.

I'm all about the naturally extracted tobacco "house made" juices like those available from GoodeJuice, Ahlusion, Heather's Heavenly Vapes, The Plume Room, etc.

Check luceboyblue's thread on this for much more info, here's a link:

Amazing stuff if you want real, complex, tobacco flavors.

There are several devices, and at least one cartomizer, designed specifically for vaporizing raw plant material. The devices are rather expensive. The cartomizer is not that expensive and it can be used on any 510/ego device.

Yes, it is more healthy to vaporize tobacco rather than combusting it. The vast majority of harmful tars and carcinogens are byproducts of combustion. There are some carcinogens that still may be released by the vaporization process, but they're minor in comparison to what you'd inhale from smoke. By using natural tobacco, as you've proposed, they'd be further decreased.

Folks,

I'm going to lock down this thread but leave the posted information in place for your reference. We do not allow discussions on vaporizing plant material - there are other forums for that.

Have a nice day!
