The keyword is "reduces", which means it still outgasses dangerous toxins. Many manufacturers make false claims of how there aluminum heating element is safe. We have had into depth conversations with many manufacturers and they are very ignorant to change, stating that their element is free of these aluminum toxin pitfalls. When purchasing you next marijuana vaporizer make sure to purchase one with a ceramic heating element."
Who are you quoting?

"majority of the best vaporizers on the market are using aluminum" That is simply not true. None of the quality vapes are using aluminum elements anymore because they don't last. Ceramic elements are being used in quality vapes for longevity, and all ceramic elements aren't created equal either. And if a majority of the best vaporizers are using aluminum, how could anyone say they're among the best? Wanna provide a name of a vape that uses an aluminum element? Just one? Cheap, made in China vapes don't qualify. And sorry, but the Volcano doesn't qualify either.

The Volcano uses an aluminum block as a heat exchanger, not the heating element. And I'll say it again. Aluminum, at vaping temps, is not a safety issue.

"Does the aluminium heating block emit any substances which are subsequently inhaled by the user?

No. the top temperature reached in the heating block 240°C (464°F) is by far below the temperature that is needed to emit any substances out of the aluminium alloy AlMgSi, melting point 660°C (1220°F); boiling point 2519°C (4566°F) used by us. This is documented by an analysis of the air produced by the Volcano on top temperature made by the University of Leiden, Netherlands."

VOLCANO Vaporizer - Frequently asked questions

Maybe you'd like to contact the University of Leiden, and tell them Storz & Bickel is using their name to falsely claim the Volcano is safe. :wtf:

There are plenty of vaporization myths going around the web. Get your facts straight before you jump on the 'scare tactics bandwagon'.
