Vaporizers are devices used for medical or recreational purposes that allow people to inhale herbal remedies, marijuana, or tobacco without having to burn or smoke the substances. For cold and flu relief, parents will often use vaporizers in conjunction with types of children's medicine designed for use in vaporizers (such as products from Vicks) to help relieve congestion and aid in easier breathing. In this application, vaporizers are very similar to humidifiers, which pump out steam and moisture in the air. The difference between the two devices is that vaporizers have the addition of a medicine or herbal product.

Vaporizers have become very popular in recent decades as a device used for inhaling marijuana. In fact, many manufacturers offer specialized vaporizers that are designed specifically for medical marijuana use. Manufacturers claim that by using these machines instead of smoking cannabis, the user will avoid tars and carcinogens that come from the burning process.

So how does the vaporizer work? These portable devices heat up herbs or oils to between 285°F and 392 °F in a partial vacuum, causing herbs and oils to boil off into vapors, and not burn.http://vaporizor.com/vaporizor-benefits.html

Devices that are made specifically for use with marijuana will usually have some kind of collection chamber or dome that collects the THC-infused vapor droplets for inhalation. This is supposed to extract large amounts of THC purely from the marijuana without any odors, carcinogens, or loss of THC through smoke.

The costs of vaporizers can vary dramatically. The popular drugstore vaporizers intended for children with cold and flu symptoms, will usually cost between $12 to $30, depending on the bells and whistles that come with different models. Devices designed for use with marijuana will normally cost between $150 to $700. Because of this high price point, some people choose to modify water pipes that are used for smoking marijuana and turn them into vaporizers using instructions found in books and on the Internet.

Depending on how much you are looking to spend on medical marijuana vaporizers, there are a number of brands with different features to suit most budgets. The lowest end models will cost $150 and up. The highest end model (the Volcano), will cost closer to $700.
