Aluminium: Heating Element Used In Vaporizer

Some of the best available vaporizers in the market use aluminium as heating element in them. Since aluminium responds faster to temperature change, some manufacturers say that aluminium is more precise than ceramic elements.

Heating Element

Reason behind volcano maintaining perfect temperature control is that it uses aluminium element and a block. The key point to vaporization is to maintain control over flow and temperature, which will further leads to effective control over vapour density. And this was made possible by aluminium elements and block, as they adjust for effects of air pressure and flow over plant material.

Health risks associated with exposure to aluminium are major criticism for vaporizer with aluminium heating elements. Namely an increased risk of Alzheimer’s is one among various health risks.

Here arises the question that does the heating block made up of aluminium element emit any harmful substances which are inhaled by the user?

And answer to the above question is no, as the highest temperature being reached by the heating block is 240 degree Celsius which is by far below the temperature which is needed to emit any substance out of AlMgSi(alloy of aluminium),with melting point of around 660 degree Celsius and with boiling point of around 2159 degree Celsius. So an aluminium heating element must be well designed, if to be considered as a quite clean element.

Now consider the increased health risk of Alzheimer. It is hard to predict whether something does or does not play a role in the development of Alzheimer. As since the illness is itself not completely understood. Aluminium doesn’t appear to significantly increase person’s susceptibility.

Volcanos, Herbalaire are few examples of vaporizer with aluminium heating elements.
