question about vaporizer smoke

i just got a vaporizer after a lot of research i decided on the VaporKing (cheaper imitation of vapor brothers). when i decided to try it out earlier today when it was warming up the ceramic heating unit started trailing a thin stream of smoke (not next to herbs, just warming up after 3-4 min or so). where is this smoke coming from? is this healthy to inhale this mystery smoke? is this normal? might be just me being a hypocondriac but the last thing you need when your high is to have something to be paranoid about.

sounds like you shoulda just spent the extra money..but i've never had that with my vape....so were the herbs already in and being heated? or did you not even put the bud in yet? cause if the bud wasnt even in yet, then you got problems and i would return it.

don't quote me on this but i think it's normal, atleast for new ones, i don't own or have ever used a real vape, but i've heard from others that the heating element is usually coated in this shit (that's not harmful btw) that just needs to burn off over time... like i said, don't quote me on it, but i'm pretty sure it's normal and you're safe.

When I got my Vapor Bros, I just turned it up to "full tilt boogie" and let it sit for an hour. I figured that if there were any contaminants, they would burn off in that time.

mine did same thing ,
just let it sit for a few min. while on n it'll go away .
