#1: I want to know what it's like to inhale SIMPLE WATER VAPOR.
Please keep in mind this post of mine is only related to cannabis, not to mention some preliminary series of experiments actually occured quite a long while ago, for example early "FogBong!" ideas got tested during the last quarter of 2012:
Briefly put "empty" (fog-only) inhalation never felt threatening and much less like drowning, though it was necessary to recover normal breath previously to another toking attempt, e.g. it wasn't psychoactive of course while still leaving no free space for more. In addition, very little amounts of cold fog were injected into the cannabic stream via an adjustable "mixing site" anyway!
Worries eventually emerged after a week or so, when i realized that careful maintenance was mandatory (...), which may provide a hint as to why manufacturers of domestic nebulizers started to adopt Ultra-Violet LEDs trying to keep potential airborne pathogens under control, then heater-based designs seemed to gain popularity.
As a result of related safety considerations further experimentation involved steam from boiling water instead:
Though i must admit such conditioning never depended on steam as part of its "Release Agent", only "Transport".

Might it affect breathing?
At 1st the presence of moisture obviously improved breathing issues, then it progressively promoted abuse as a direct consequence of such apparent easiness, which in turn concluded with a need to "T-Break" once it started to feel lung-depressing... In other words the relief was divine initially, then it became counter-productive. Which prompted even more determination to explore a related alternative base on extra-hot exhaust gases from clean-burning butane pipes as from VaporGenie, with "
Inlet Water" also performing self-moisturization conditioning as a bonus.

Give you some sort of "watery lung" feeling?
Apparently the tiny amounts of Inlet Water captured from the corona of a blue torch flame avoids any such inconvenience, toke after toke after toke. Lets keep in mind that air is a heat insulator, while Hot Dry Air used as the "Release/Transport Agent" comes with a specific heat capacity near unity...
In comparison steam is characterized with twice the specific heat capacity and hence this implies the VG pipe has a "Release/Transport Agent" ranging at some point between 1 and 2, which simply means it has been "potentiated" and hence carries some more energy i believe.
So...
Further experimentation combining such improved potency to "Pulse Heating" rendered possible by adopting an "Hybrid Core" clearly confirmed that intuition: there were gains in terms of aroma/taste appreciation while simultaneously taming down depletion of a bowl long enough to dry it out of its noble substances before it went dark.
Now, in an effort to respect the announced topic i'd suggest that the "Release/Transport Agent" may need to get broken down into separate processes. For example nebulizers may still prove most valuable by accelerating heat transfer by stirring a mix of Hot Dry Air & steam, which after all is supposed to be a better solvant than cold distilled water alone. Post-vaporization re-heating (à la Sublimator) may succeed generating even finer microscopic droplets i imagine.
The shorter a pulse the more potent it needs to get, at least that's what aroma/taste perception seems to infer. The reward is "conservation" as the heat wave is immediately followed by cool air that cuts overheating before unproductive damage is done.
...
M'well, i've been repeating these ideas for years and the words continuously failed nonetheless. Diaporama imagery hardly works neither, yet please try to envision a process similar to the medieval "catapult", in an era still ignoring the power of steam, electricity and semiconductors: just build a "Heat Charge" then near-instantly flood a vaporization chamber, followed by depletion that's equally fast ideally. The solution IMO is to adopt a "
Shortest Path of Lesser Transformation" strategy made reality by juxtaposing an IH-driven susceptor with a pair of SiC Foam layers implementing a sandwhich structure with "Thermal Bottle" properties only required to last long enough to work in some transitional mode compatible with a 1-toke ritual.
Recently i even found a manufacturer of Induction Heat generators offering an on-line "calculator" where Silicon Carbide is listed among metals:
I suppose "dopants" must be incorporated into such SiC latice to obtain an electrically-conductive material which can be heated using the "skin effect". If that's no bogus claim then this is the shortest path imaginable while it can also behave as a direct relatively-inert support for practically any substance droplet one wishes to put on... Perhaps stirring then could be performed simply by shaking the "Release/Transport Agent" with ultra-sonic airwaves. Go figure!
Nonetheless apologies still failing to propose a ready-made commercially available solution.
Good day, have fun!! 8)
