Most vapes work just fine with appropriate maintenance. How does that address the 'small particle' issue, which is the topic? If you're saying that "if the proper maintenance is kept up with", then there will be no small particles getting through, I'd have to disagree.

True, but you inhale a lot more tiny particles than you'd think, on an everyday basis, even without vaporizing. Most pollutants are breathed or coughed out, killed by digestive juices, or eaten by macrophages, a type of blood cell that seeks out germs to destroy. I think jimmy posted some good tips, but you can only minimize the tiny bits getting through, not completely eliminate them. IMO you inhale a lot worse walking the typical city street, and especially mowing the typical yard. My lungs have been fine with vaping, for years now, but I have to wear a quality mask when cutting my grass, and even then....

When hot air streams through the filling chamber, it does not only release the desired substances, but also lets tiny particles from the bud flow in. Some of them are visible to the eye, others are too small to see without investigating a bag used over time more closely. I believe tiny particles entering the Rating: 5
