Surprisingly, the water pipes performed worse than the unfiltered joint, suggesting that "water filtration is actually counterproductive, apparently because water tends to absorb THC [tetrahydrocannabinol, the main psychoactive ingredient of marijuana] more readily than noxious tars." The vaporizer without the water pipe component did best, producing a cannabinoid/tar ratio "about 25 percent higher than the unfiltered joint." (An unexplained finding, though, was that the vapors from the vaporizer contained a higher than normal amount of cannabinol, a cannabinoid that is less psychoactive than THC but which may have medicinal benefits. The THC/tar ratio for the vaporizer was somewhat lower than the unfiltered joint.) Overall, Gieringer concluded that the study shows great potential for vaporizers but that "more developmental work needs to be done."

Cant figure out what you disagree with. The problem I have even with the report of THC vs other cannabinoids is that nothing is noted of temperature. Each of them will vaporize at different temperatures and the amount of cannibinoid or cannabinoid will differ in the breeds, and even in curing as curing in the sun will increase the cannibinoids - note kif from Morrocco.

Water will not disolve THC, it is really an oil. We use alcohol to disolve it. I do not use water in these things, ice sometimes in the Vrip, to bring the temp down.

Where did you get that info, it is really out there far from normal? I think they used a BC Vaporizer and bad bud. Some of the vaporizers produce the worst tars I ever saw. Like the Vapir and BC Vaporiser.
