Comment on Had to buy a certain product to use a certain substance and there's a really stupid new law.

  I think it would just burn the tobacco rather than vaporizing it

  I mean if the temperature is set low enough (also convection) it should prevent combustion(/harmful byproducts) for most materials. Like under 200C especially.

  Although I'm not sure vaporizing tobacco intended for smoking would taste all that great and smokers generally don't seem to care anyway. Sounds gross to me, then again so does nicotine in general.

    In this particular case, it’s not an electronic vaporizer, it uses a butane flame as the heating element, so the temperature would not get low enough. Works great for cannabis though.

      I saw that after posting. I'm not sure if the shipping law depends on the product but I got an Extreme Q from Arizer years ago and just checked: there is no mention of a required signature (though being a desktop unit and twice the price, it is a different product).

      So maybe you could've just bought from somewhere else, assuming this is the seller being overly cautious and not a wide-sweeping law.

        I bought it directly from the manufacturer.
