I just read an article that stated benzine was mostly found when vaping at 392 degrees Farenheit. That's the temp I vape at. Am I vaping at to hot of temp? The article said THC was found between 290 to 365 degrees Farenheit. I have found I get more bang for my buck at 392 F, does anyone have an educated opinion on this? Thank you my friends, the best source of accurate cannabis information.

Benzine can be released at 392 F.
392 F is also the boiling point for THC.
Remember, you don't need to "boil" in order to vaporize the THC compounds.
I find that between 350 F and 365 F works best for me*.
I've read in experimental data that 365 F +/- 10% is considered optimum.
375 F and above can begin to cause combustion of plant matter.

*With that being said, keep in mind this all depends on the moisture content of your plant material. With fresher, moist bud, you may very well find yourself using higher temps., in essence dehydrating and vaporizing in one procedure, but in the end, dry cannabis(2% or less moisture) Burns at 390 F.

Those are the facts as I know them, and my personal experience as well.

Sorry I am not a help at all on this I use a volcano and set the temp at slightly under 6. I have no idea what temp that is.

I do know the 6 keeps the temp under 400. So I am guessing about 375 degrees.

What I freely have been given let me freely share

I have a super vapezilla vaporizer and its digital. I have had it for like 3 1/2 years and set it at between 349 and 378 depending on the condition of the herb any higher and it starts to burn in my experience...Around 360 seems to be the best...

Thanks everyone and especially you Pullo for the specific info. I have a V-Tower vaporizer (not the Extreme) and I love it . It's made in Canada and works great. I haven't noticed any combustion at 392 Farenheit but I am going to try it around 375 from what you people have said. The V-Tower is an excellent unit. The vapor path is all glass and anti-bacterial and anti-fungal medical tubing with a ceramic heating element with a lifetime guarantee. The hits are all tight, it is digital with a timer for auto-shut off or you can keep a running time. It is a sturdy dependable unit for around $200. The V-Tower Extreme has a 3 speed fan and bags for $100 more. Personally I do not like a fan, to much vapor loss, and I don't like the bag. I much prefer manual inhalation with my private mouthpiece. I did not purchase it for partying, not that there is anything wrong with that, but for a more accurate, safe and efficient way to titrate my dose and deliver the cannabinoids into the bloodstream. I've only had a vaporizer for 3 months but I am totally sold on vaporizing as opposed to smoking. Now all I need is for the politicians of Iowa to legalize Medical Marijuana. Believe it or not the State Senate is working on a bill for 2010. I attended a senate subcommittee meeting in March with Sen Joe Bolkom (D-IA) who sponsored the bill, myself for patient testimony, several other patients and Carl Olsen from Iowa who is currently sueing the DEA for not removing marijuana from Schedule I after California legalized Medical Marijuana in 1996, and Dr Ed Hertko, a diabetic specialist, who is 80 years old and attended a senate committee on legalizing Medical Marijuana in Iowa 35 years ago stating, "This is like deja vous, we are saying the same thing as we did in 1974 except now 13 states have legalized Medical Marijuana. Scientific and medical research (outside the U.S) has confirmed the medical efficacy of Medical Marijuana for many, many illnesses and their symptoms not to mention the discovery of the human Enbocannabinoid System. So now it is time to act. (Thank you Dr Hertko!) President Obama seems to be almost living up to his word about stopping the DEA raids. So let's do the right thing and legalize Medical Marijuana for Iowa." His testimony was very effective on the politicians so who knows. After all Iowa just legalized same sex marriage's. So despite the fact that we have a Prohibtionisit Senator named Chuck Grassley (R-IA) who says, "Marijuana leads to hard drugs" not realizing that by stating that he is admitting that marijuana is a soft drug, DUH! Grassley who, in his own words said, "I'm just a pig farmer," will soon be back tending his pigs for the people of Iowa do not want him in office. Also I'm sure the Republican National Committee is not to happy with Grassley's statements for it only reinforces the 'old and stodgy image' they are trying to shed. I suggest you go tend to you pigs Chuckles for nowadays it is bad politics to be anti-Medical Marijuana. According to law the DEA should have moved Marijuana out of Schedule I when California legalized Medical Marijuana. Last time I checked the DEA stated, "The DEA does not have to recognize marijuana as, "having accepted Medical use for treatment in the United States" just because 13, and counting, states have legalized marijuana for medical purposes. Also 2 out of the last 5 surviving members of the federal IND program live in Iowa, if that's not hypocritical government behavior I don't know what is. After all what kind of government prohibits not only the use of but also any research into the medical properties of Cannabis Sativa? That's right a Hitler-esque Nazi/Facist government. For our federal government, knowing the therapeutic effects of Medical Marijuana, to continue to prohibit research into Cannabis while maintaining a monopoly on any Cannabis for research, is flat out Un-American. Thanks again friends I love learning about the new world of vaping. Peace...
