    Is it the weed equivalent of that IQOS shit they peddle everywhere in Poland for cigs?

      IQOS

      Never heard of this particular brand. Banned in the US for infringing on a different monopoly’s patent (lol) and doesn’t seem popular in Canada. It looks like a conduction vaporizer, heating through direct physical contact.

      Convection vaporizers instead heat the air instead of the material, so it will actually stop heating the plant material when you’re not actively pulling heated air through it. They also more consistently heat all the material inside.

      I don’t really have any firsthand (or secondhand) experience with anything tobacco related, so I can’t really say how this stuff compares practically or how relevant any of it is to tobacco use.
