Vaporisers have a built-in heating element, which heats the your favourite herbs to a sub-flammable temperature, thus activating and releasing all the all active chemicals in the Herb of your choice. As you don't burn the plants only the active/healing chemicals and the etherical oils vaporise. This way you inhale all the good parts of the herb without the tar and carbon monoxide, which are hazardous for lungs and health. The first vaporiser was made in 1995. See similar questions...

It is also extremely important for most people to use a humidifier, especially in the winter.

We use a special apparatus in the office called a Rhinotherm. See similar questions...
