Volcano Vaporizer Revolutionaizes Smoking And Tobacco

By Anonymous

The Volcano Vaporizer is the best smoking cessation device ever invented.

Sound like a boast? It is the truth and we guarantee it. (*1) You won’t believe the results from using the Volcano Vaporizer System, the most effective vaporizer on the market. European design and medical-grade components assure superior quality and function, so now you can drastically reduce the amount of smoke you inhale without having to stop enjoying the flavor. This device literally allows you to smoke without smoking™!

Have you tried to stop smoking cigarettes but nothing seems to work? This will work, because you don’t miss a thing with the Volcano.

A multitude of carcinogenic materials is present in tobacco smoke. This device removes the tar and smoke along with 80 percent of the harmful combusted materials from the vapor. (*2) The Volcano represents a true alternative to smoking. It delivers more of the flavor found in the natural plant material, so you don’t lose any of the effect, yet the overall reduction in carcinogenic materials is huge! With the smoke removed, only virtually transparent vapor remains, often perplexing first-time users of the system. But after a couple of uses, it becomes clear that the results of clinical testing on this product are accurate. (*3) Your smokable product will last three to four times longer, effectively offsetting the cost of the device, and you can’t beat the piece of mind that comes from removing the No. 1 smoking-related health concern: the smoke itself!

“The primary requirement of a vaporizer is the capacity to maintain the temperature just above the point of vaporization in order to obtain an optimum level of both efficiency and flavor, along with minimized production of harmful substances,” said one of the importers. “Other points are the greatest level of safety for the user, ease of operation and inhalation, which is separate from the vaporizing process. The Volcano solves the problem of hot-air generation by employing an astoundingly simple principle: the air is pumped through a heated aluminum block (similar to an oven with aeration ducts) and thus inevitably assumes the desired temperature, while a diaphragm pump ensures the air flow remains constant.”

This device functions so effectively that electronic controls are not needed. A bimetallic control mechanism is sufficient to ensure a maximum air temperature fluctuation of +-4°C in the filling chamber, meaning the Volcano has the most accurate temperature control of all vaporizers. “The electric set-up of the Volcano has been kept as simple and robust as possible,” one of the importers said. “We only use proven components to ensure reliable operation and a long life of our product.”

However, the most striking and distinguishing feature of the Volcano is the patented valve balloon into which the vapor is pumped. Everybody loves the balloon! The valve balloon can be completely detached from the device after filling and the contents inhaled at the user's ease. This ensures that the application is absolutely safe, as vaporization occurs previously and the user does not come into contact with glass, heat or electricity during inhalation.

The Volcano Vaporizer is manufactured in Tuttlingen, a town in southern Germany regarded internationally as the center of European medical technology.

“The German know-how in the area of medical technology has already been utilized in the development phase of the Volcano and makes this vaporizer the first choice for discerning users,” they added.

Users of the device seem to agree.

“I have six herbal vaporizers from Musick & Co. (and) a DLX Black Vapir cordless with all the accessories. It’s more high tech but the function is questionable to mediocre at best, leaving the unanswered question ‘Did it do anything yet,’” said T.S. of Texas. “The Volcano Vaporizer is still my favorite. It works great! The flavor that it produces is fantastic, making each plant release its own full, unique taste. No more smoking for me. Smoking destroys the quality of the flavor and potency, not to mention all the negative health effects. Vapor mist is the only way to go and it’s the only way you will ever taste all the flavor. A Volcano is a little more expensive but it’s the best investment you can make. What is the flavor worth to you?”

The Volcano Vaporizer is a US patented device, is imported by slide4less, and more information is available at http://www.vaporizeit.com or call steve at 510-414-8429.

*1.) Warning: Use with tobacco only if you are currently a heavy smoker and are seeking an alternative to cigarettes. 30 day unconditional money back guarantee in addition to manufacturer's 3 year warranty.

*2.) Although studies have demonstrated that the Volcano Vaporizer can reduce the amount of combusted materials found in smoking, no claims are made as to over-all health effects of this device. There are several health risks to consider when using tobacco products. This device does not change the delivery system for tobacco, nor does is it intended as a tobacco-use cessation aide. This device does dramatically reduces combusted materials (smoke) from inhaled vapor, potentially reducing the dramatically harmful effects of smoking.

*3.) California NORML/MAPS Study Shows Vaporizers Can Drastically Reduce Toxins in Tobacco Smoke.

Harmful toxins in Tobacco smoke can be effectively avoided by a vaporization device, according to a new study by California NORML and MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies) with support from a grant from the MPP.

The study, conducted by Chemic Labs in Canton, Mass., tested vapors from Tobacco heated in the herbal vaporizer known as the "Volcano"® (manufactured by Storz & Bickel GmbH&Co. KG, Tuttlingen, Germany www.storz-bickel.) and compared them to smoke produced by combusted Tobacco. The "Volcano"® is designed to heat material to temperatures of 130° to 230° C (266° to 446° F) where medically active vapors are produced, but below the threshold of combustion where smoke is formed.

The vapors from the "Volcano"® were found to consist overwhelmingly of , the major active component in Tobacco, whereas the combusted smoke contained over 100 other chemicals, including several polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), carcinogenic toxins that are common in tobacco smoke. The respiratory hazards of tobacco smoke are primarily due to toxic byproducts of combustion, not the active ingredients in the plant. The study suggests that medical patients can partially avoid the respiratory hazards of smoking by using a vaporizer.

In its 1999 report on medical usage, the Institute of Medicine recommended against long-term use of smoked Tobacco because of the health risks of smoking. However, the IOM failed to take account vaporizers. Previous studies have found that vaporizers can reduce harmful toxins in Tobacco smoke. However this is the first study to analyze the gas phase of the vapor for a wide range of toxins.

A previous NORML/MAPS study conducted by Chemic Labs found that a vaporizer known as the M-1 Volatizer® completely eliminated three specific toxins (naphthalene, benzene and toluene) in. The solid phase of the vapor (D. Gieringer, "Tobacco Vaporization: A Promising Strategy for Smoke Harm Reduction). The new study used a gas chromatograph mass spectrometer (GCMS) to examine the gas components of the vapor.

An important feature of the "Volcano“® is that it uses a balloon to capture the vapor, thereby avoiding leakage to the air. It is possible that higher active ingredient efficiencies could have been reached with the "Volcano“® by stirring the sample around and exposing it to more heat. The combusted sample achieved a relatively high efficiency of 78% upon complete combustion. The high efficiency seems due to the fact that the sample was completely consumed by combustion, and that smoke leakage was effectively prevented by the laboratory setup. Similar conditions do not obtain under normal circumstances when a Tobacco cigarette is smoked and much of the active ingredient is lost to the air or left in the unburned "butt." This demonstrates the incredible efficiency of the cigarette delivery system, but the Volcano is up to the task of matching that efficiency. Because vapors are not combusted, with many types of herbs up to 3-4 the transfer rate can be achieved with the Volcano (so, in theory, you would use 1/4-1/3 of the amount of material you do now).

With tobacco, the Volcano is at least as efficient as the most efficient cigarettes, and 2-3 times more effective when compared to combustion of pure tobacco leaf. Note, however, that the concentration of nicotine in the balloon is no more than that with typical (filtered) cigarette smoke. Nonetheless, users of the Volcano should start by taking only small amounts of vapor from the balloon, and avoid deep inhalation, especially upon first use.

AIR-2 LAUNCHES NICOHALE

By Anonymous

VENICE, CALIFORNIA June 23, 2003 – Advanced Inhalation Revolutions, Inc.™ (Air-2™), the company whose goal is to eliminate the harmful effects of smoking through modern vaporization technology, today introduced NICOHALE™, the first vaporizer-based system that utilizes organic herbs and essential oils to support the efforts of people who have decided to quit smoking tobacco.

“Nicotine patches, gums and lozenges are a $300-million a year solution that is not working,” said Shaahin Sean Cheyene, President and founder of Air-2. “They do not offer the oral satisfaction of a cigarette or pipe and they contain the very substance that has addicted the tobacco smoker in the first place -- nicotine. We believe that a natural system is better.”

The NicoHale system is comprised of Air-2’s NicoHale vaporizer with its patented Digital Air™ digital vaporization technology, a two-step proprietary blend of herbs and oils, plus a behavior modification program that features a CD and book written by Cheyene as his alter ego, Dr. Nic Free. There is also an optional four-step dietary supplement program for additional support.

NicoHale users are encouraged to vaporize using Step A herbs and oil six times a day for five minutes each session for a duration of six weeks. At that point they would switch to using Step B herbs and oils on the same regimen for six additional weeks. People who smoke fewer than 3 cigarettes a day would begin with Step B herbs and oil. The ingestion of a NicoHale dietary supplement tablet is recommended every three-to-four hours.

Cheyene, a tenth-generation herbalist, came up with the idea of blending digital vaporization technology with Gen-X product design and all-natural herbs and oils to create an alternative to smoking that is just as attractive and much healthier.

“With NicoHale, the former smoker can deeply inhale the pure essence of our herb blends and oils without ever lighting up. Aromatherapy has a long, proven history of helping curb a variety of unwanted cravings. Plus, since vaporization only emits vapor, not smoke, these former smokers can vaporize at their office desk, in an airplane, at a nightclub or restaurant, or anywhere they like. Since there is no first-hand smoke, there is no second-hand smoke, only a pleasant aroma consistent with aromatherapy products.”

Vaporization occurs at a much lower temperature than combustion (smoking), activating the essential elements of a plant or herb at 250 degrees Fareneheit without releasing the harmful byproducts caused by burning. In the case of NicoHale, the herb and oil flavor are inhaled during vaporization with no release of carcinogens.

“People have been burning plants for thousands of years,” said Cheyene. “It’s time for a change.”

Supporting people in their quest to quit smoking, and introducing everyone to the benefits of vaporized plants and herbs is just the first step for Air-2 and its line of digital vaporization products. Medicinal vaporization, under the brand name VaporMed™, has the potential to eliminate hypodermic needles, which cause pain, and oral medications, which can be degenerated by digestive enzymes. “Modern digital vaporization will become the delivery vehicle of choice for medicine of the future. No more painful vaccinations or insulin shots. No more waiting for diluted medication to work its way from your stomach into your bloodstream. By inhaling medicine, undiluted, straight into your lungs, the effects are more concentrated and go to work instantly,” Cheyene said. The company will seek FDA approval in 2004 for its medicinal vaporization line of products.

Sold as a flavor delivery device and aromatherapy support system, the company makes no medical claims about NicoHale. Therefore, it is not FDA-classified as a medical device. As more funding becomes available, the company intends to run clinical trials, conduct intense laboratory experiments, seek FDA approval and expand its product line to the medical and biotech industries.

The NicoHale system, which includes the vaporizer, a one-week supply of Step A herb disks, a vial of essential oil, a soft case, and “The Complete Genius’s Guide to Quitting Smoking” audio CD and book are available at www.nicohale.com. The NicoHale system retails for $199.99. One-week supplies of Step A or Step B herb disks or Steps A through D of the herbal dietary supplement tablets retail for $29.99 each. Nationwide and international distribution is currently being sought. For further information about Digital Air vaporization, NicoHale or Air-2, contact the company at 1041 Pleasant View, Venice CA 90291 USA (310) 581-1312.
