Smoking is bad for you. This is quite a well-known fact, proven by loads of scientific tests, and has been the subject of many debates, scandals and lawsuits over the past 30 years. However, that hasn't really stopped people from smoking, even if there are thousands of "methods" and devices out there which supposedly help you quit.
However, for those people who don't want to quit, but would like to smoke in a healthier manner (now this right here is a pretty weird concept, don't you think?), the Storz&Bickel company has
created a very special "herb vaporizer", dubbed Volcano, which allegedly eliminates up to 95% of the carcinogen substances in the tobacco, thus turning your smoking into a pretty healthy experience. This is possible due to the fact that the device atomizes the herbs, heating them to a temperature just before the point of combustion, and thus managing to extract the active elements without actually burning the leaves.
Moreover, the device is extremely easy to use, since all the users have to do is place the plants into the filling chamber, seal the whole system shut, set the temperature and press a button. After the herbs have been completely atomized and the vapors released into the plastic bag, the user just presses his/her lips against a mouthpiece, opens a valve and...voila. Instant joy.
Of course, as you might imagine, the term "herb vaporizer" signifies the fact that you can inhale just about any type of plant, from tobacco to garlic to....well, yeah, THAT plant you're thinking of right now. Which makes the Volcano just about the most technologically-advanced bong on the market, and also one of the most expensive, since it is available for around 540 US dollars, which is a pretty big price for getting high, even if you do it the safe way.
We are just a few, but there are many of you, Softpedia users, out there. That's why we thought it would be a good idea to create an email address for you to help us a little in finding gadgets we missed. Interesting links are bound to be posted with recognition going mainly to those who submit. The address is .
