Use only standardized, medicinal
hemp flowers (cannabis flos) that have
been tested by licensed producers for
authenticity, purity, and pathogens
according to the directives of the com-
petent authorities in your country.
Under
should you use cannabis
from the illegal black market
or any other cannabis that
has not been subjected to recognised
quality controls.
The amount of active ingredients in
these products is generally unknown,
may fluctuate considerably, and they
often contain herbicides, fertilizers,
bacteria, etc.
7.1. T he Efficiency of Cannabinoids
vaporized from Hemp Flowers
(Cannabis Flos)
If these Instructions for Use are
followed, the systemic bioavailability
of vaporized cannabinoids from hemp
blossoms is approx. 50% in the Valve
Balloon and approx. 43% with the
Tube Kit.
For comparison: The systemic bioavai-
lability of cannabinoids aministered
orally is below 15%.
The following factors determine the
cannabinoid content in the Valve Bal-
loon or Tube:
Temperature - Higher vaporizati-
on temperatures cause a higher
no
circumstances
cannbinoid concentration in the
Valve Balloon, lower vaporization
temperatures cause a lower canna-
binoid concentration.
Quantity - Higher quantities in the
Filling Chamber cause a higher
cannbinoid concentration, lower
quantities in the Filling Chamber
cause a lower cannabinoid concen-
tration.
Quality - Higher cannabinoid
concentrations in the plant ma-
terial cause a higher cannabinoid
concentration, lower cannabinoid
concentrations in the plant material
cause a lower cannabinoid concen-
tration.
In order to obtain a reproducible dose
with good efficiency, it is recommen-
ded to vaporize small filling quantities
(100 mg) once in the Filling Chamber
at a maximum temperature of 210°C
(410°F).
7.2. Preparation
Turn the Filling Chamber Cap counter-
clockwise in order to remove it from
the Filling Chamber.
