If there is one plant that we see anything and everything about the spraying, it is Salvia Divinorum. So, can you spray on Salvia ? GoodVape has the answer.

Salvia Divinorum and vaporiser

Salvia Divinorum is surely one of the best known medicinal plants. His arrival in the botanical records in 1939, following a study devoted to mushrooms Psylocibe on Mazatec. Salvia (Salvia divinorum diviners ie Sage, Maria Pastora or ska) is known to be a plant of vision or a hallucinogen and is considered an entheogen . See Wikipedia on Salvia Divinorum . Its active ingredient is salvinorin A, the most powerful hallucinogenic compound that exists, which means that a dose of a few micrograms (1/1, 000,000 th of a gram) will be active.

Yes good then, it is possible to vaporize Salvia?

The answer came, impatient. First the explanation (or you'll leave without understanding).

At the "natural" state, Salvinorin A is solid, it becomes a liquid at 238 ° C, its melting temperature.

Then change state and turn into gas (steam) the boiling point (or vaporization) is 760.2 ° C.

Salvia Divinorum can therefore NOT be sprayed in order to obtain the psychedelic effects induced by salvinorin A.

And those who tell you otherwise are too quickly forgotten the difference between melting and boiling temperature. Okay, I confess that I did not return alone, but thanks to my friend Wikipedia .

It is of course possible to find a spray that can mount to 760.2 ° C, but this is not the case with our friend the Volcano or colleagues who do not exceed 240 ° C (otherwise it is license withdrawal). Given the effectiveness of higher vaporization from combustion (up to 4x for the same dose) then it would be very possible to overdose, so beware.

And that's a myth "busted" by GoodVape: vaporization of Salvia Divinorum .

    Great guy, thank you.
    Good idea this test.

  • Moksha Says:

    Spraying impossible with salvia?
    I would not be so positive, Daniel Siebert itself claim the opposite:

    ""
    It is possible to vaporize leaves to extract gold in a special vaporizer heats up material without That burning it.

    He apparently tested with a heat gun:
    ""
    Daniel Demonstrated a new way to consume Salvia divinorum by inhalation of the Vapors Given off by a quarter gram of dried leaves. Were the leaves heated with a digitally-controlled heat gun at 520 degrees F. He uses a glass pipe with a screen on top and bottom. He recommends the Technical Reasons for health. In a demonstration ET Showed That After vaporizing the active ingredient fully There Was a barely detectable smoke. ET then raised the temperature and a huge quantity of bad smelling smoke WAS released.

    Moksha hello thank you pout your message.

    I think it is not "impossible" to spray on Salvia, but it is impossible to extract salvinorin common with sprays.

    The fact is, as you say Daniel vaporize Salvia to 520 ° F while the Volcano only rises to 439 ° F (226 ° C).

    So if you want to spray your salvia should make your own Spray :)

    This article lacks sources on the essential: the story is impossible to spray! So I searched on the net. I found in sites of professional chemistry boiling points (= evaporation) different. The link http://www.chemspider.com/RecordView.aspx?rid=650e9355-93c4-4b98-8d9c-4fed3b81f7ad gives two sources for the properties:
    - EPISUITE
    Boiling Pt (deg C): 509.58 (Adapted Stein & Brown method)
    Melting Pt (deg C): 201.28 (Mean or Weighted MP)
    - ACD / Labs
    Flash Point: 294.8 ° C
    Boiling Point: 563.8 ° C at 760 mmHg
    So the boiling temperature is between 509.58 and 563.8 ° C, depending on conditions. This is very high but much less than normal flame or embers.
    Moreover, this temperature is where the entire product is sprayed MUST, not that it begins to be. There are vapors before, as the water evaporates below 100 ° C. Some substances evaporate from the same solid state, this is the case with many solids fragrant camphor, naphthalene, ambergris ... But we must not forget that salvinorin A is active from a few micrograms, that is to say a few millionths of a gram!
    (One can also think that the reports of the tests are not mere fabrications ...)
