![]() But it definitely makes sense to see no reason that simply vaping with a unit that isn't awful is the limit of how you can better cope with getting high. I don't think it makes sense to vape using one of the many available noxious and poorly designed products out there. I think it makes a lot of sense in terms of vaping, I vape now and have been solely for over 5 years, partly as risk reduction, partly as a lifestyle choice, and mostly because my lungs were showing signs that made me feel like quitting or eradicating the tar input hence the carbon filtration and today's reality. Placing it in the downstem of a bong makes the most sense given that it's already a solid step from direct inhalation. I like the idea of filtering the air path before the heater, however if the first thing you do after a toke is breath in the air around you unfiltered, it's probably not worth the hassle. I would think if you placed it between the heater and the herb it would impact the convection efficiency and might not allow the vape to work properly. Miners get black lung, it really takes exposure on the levels of swimming in a visible cloud of carbon for it to be troublesome. I did look into particulate inhalation before deciding on using it all those years ago, and all I can say is that the amount of bong hits I would need to get black lung, I would die of old age trying. 1g has the surface area of a football field. I see nothing wrong with it, it's awesome stuff. And the oils from the plant and the tar from the smoke would stick all the carbon together like a cake after some use, causing it to require a good bit of scraping to remove (it retains its granularity throughout, it really isn't that risky a material in the slightest, one of the friendliest and most abundant). The adapter itself would get hot to touch. I would pull hot embers directly on top of it and generally it wasn't an issue (the only issue being that eventually it would clog and it would restrict airflow after a few uses). So, the stuff is really not sensitive to heat at the levels reached with smoking, let alone vaporising. "Activation/Oxidation: Raw material or carbonized material is exposed to oxidizing atmospheres (oxygen or steam) at temperatures above 250 ☌, usually in the temperature range of 600–1200 ☌" Now as to the heat, well this is what google has to say about the production necessary for making it. Still, I would get a packet and process a bunch and place it in a jar for refills. This was the more annoying aspect of using the granules, because it was difficult to store long term without it breaking up and forming plenty of dust. The pieces of carbon are solid crystalline, and after washing the dust away, it will only form more if it is ground or manipulated. With proper preparation, the filter does not allow for any visible dust to be drawn out of it. What I was using was granulated, roughly 1-2mm^3 chunks. Larger granule styles might be better suited. basically you needed to wash the activated carbon before using it. I remember now the instructions that came with it, which make sense as to the concerns above. That's actually the first adapter I got, branded RooR. Also not sure that any of these will work with the TinyMight. ![]() Some of the products are designed to go where the vapor or smoke leave the crucible and others are at the mouthpiece end. ![]() Grav glass makes an attachment that uses loose granular material: Black Leaf also makes a Carball carbon filter adapter and GrassCity sells granulated activated charcoal for it: As well, there are several makers of activated charcoal filters for joints. The MouthPeace uses its own activated charcoal filters. I have a MouthPeace from Moose Labs that I use with several of my vapes and water bubblers to ease my breathing apparatus. There are actually a number of activated charcoal filters and systems made specifically for use with cannabis. ![]() In my search for ways of mitigating the impact of my vaping on my sensitive lungs, among other solutions I've looked at using activated charcoal.
