and how much damn smoke is emitted from a toke on one of those things....
None.
Pro-vapers and anti's banter over whether it's a vapor or aerosol, but smoke it ain't.
Really no argument. The term vapor comes from the science of a substance in a gas phase at a temperature lower than its critical temp. Meaning it can be condensed to a liquid by increasing the pressure.
Thus term like vapor pressure, freezing point depression, etc.
aerosol particle size is much larger and does not share the physical chemistry of the vapor phase state. Inorganic materials are trapped within the colloidal structure of the aerosol and precipitate in the lungs.
Oils such as the terpenes flavors used in the additives form larger pools in the lungs, are not absorbed.
medical use of the dosage form seen in the "breathers" you see folks using for asthma. Although the formulation of the aerosol is strictly controlled.
drugs having very low LD50s can be weaponized using aerosols such as fentanyl and nerve gas,---- doesn't work with "vapor"
If you are into global warming aerosols are one of the major contributors.
The term vaping and vapor where carefully chosen, If the makers and gov. admitted they were aerosols they would be put in the pollution EPA categories and banned.
Thats why vapor users/makers argue etc.
