lol, that still gets use? don't think anyone here does much with MS languages, though it's pretty much just their version of Java so it's probably not hard to jump over

Alan What?
[annoy my right-angled speediness]
Smoldering organic material has a pungent sharp odor that lingers. Smell and taste are closely linked, so smoke always has a charred taste that competes with and often overpowers the natural flavor. There's yet another problem: the heat of combustion is so high that it can destroy (pyrolyze) or diminish (chemically alter) components. Still, people tolerate the numerous negative aspects in order to benefit from the desirable components that are released.
Clearly, all of these problems can be avoided if we just heat the material to the point where the desirable components are released but not destroyed, and the material itself doesn't ignite. That is exactly what a vaporizer does.
The idea is to release only the vapor of the target component, which is usually found in the plant resins. In smoke, the desired component is diluted and mixed with particulates, tars, and toxic gases. Vapor, on the other hand, is much purer. The exact components released at the vaporization temperature depend on the material, but none of the toxic products of organic combustion will be present, so vapor contains a much higher percentage of the desired component than smoke does.
Vapor has a slight odor but it doesn't cling or linger for nearly as long as smoke. It certainly doesn't smell like burning. Vapor delivers full flavor. Because a large percentage of your material is no longer destroyed or floating away in smoke, vaporizing lets you get the most out of your material. One more potential benefit: a vaporizer with a variable temperature control lets you target components that vaporize at different temperatures. My article on Temperature controlled vaporizing explains why you would do this and how to approach it.
If you are still subjecting yourself to the hazards of smoke, you owe it to yourself to try the switch to vaporizing. Vaporizers have become widespread and affordable, and there's a wide selection of home and portable units.
