Inhalative administration of cannabinoids

The inhalative administration of cannabinoids is generally the preferred method for taking cannabinoids. One reason for this is the rapid onset of action. Both the VOLCANO MEDIC and the MIGHTY MEDIC ensure effective inhalation. They evaporate cannabinoids with the help of hot air, without burning. Therefore no harmful combustion substances are produced. Studies have shown that approximately 1/3 of the cannabinoids used in the device enter the bloodstream. Since 2009 the VOLCANO MEDIC has enabled the inhalative medical administration of liquid cannabinoids dissolved in alcohol and of cannabinoids directly from dried cannabis blossoms. VAPORMED inhalers have been used in numerous medical studies and have established themselves as certified medical devices for cannabinoids.

Cannabinoids essentially evaporate at temperatures above 180°C and form an inhalable and easily respirable aerosol with an average droplet size (MMAD) of 0.64 µm (micrometer). The droplets are absorbed by the alveoli and thus enter the bloodstream (systemic absorption). In the inhalative administration of cannabinoids, the onset of action takes about 1-2 minutes. The effect lasts then approx. 2-4 hours. For the application, a distinction must be made between the evaporation of dronabinol (THC) dissolved in alcohol and the evaporation of cannabinoids from hemp flowers (cannabis flos). Cannabis extract and pure cannabinoids – dissolved in alcohol – need a carrier so that they can be evaporated. For this purpose, drop cushions made of stainless-steel wire mesh were developed which fit exactly into the filling chamber or dosing capsule.

Mighty Medic

The MIGHTY MEDIC is the first medical battery-powered cannabinoid inhaler. The use of the MIGHTY MEDIC is self-explanatory with Plus and Minus keys and the clearly visible LED display: As soon as the ACTUAL temperature matches the individually adjustable SET temperature, the device is ready for inhalation. The personally preferred temperature can be gradually adjusted directly on the device during evaporation. The two rechargeable high-performance batteries ensure a long usage time and a short heat-up time. It also offers a cooling unit for pleasant inhalation, optimal taste and full aroma.

The MIGHTY MEDIC evaporates by means of combined air and radiation heating. The air heating ensures continuous evaporation, while the radiation heating ensures that steam is generated on the first breath. For a quick and clean filling of the filling chamber integrated in the hot air generator, you can use the provided dosing capsules.

Volcano Medic

The VOLCANO MEDIC evaporation system solves two medical problems at once. On the one hand, the VOLCANO MEDIC evaporation system allows the inhalative medical administration of liquid cannabinoids dissolved in alcohol. On the other hand it allows the inhalative administration of cannabinoids directly from dried cannabis blossoms. In the VOLCANO MEDIC evaporation system, the cannabinoids are only dissolved by the action of heat. Burning does not take place as with smoking. The formation of combustion pollutants is avoided in this way. With its introduction in 2000, the VOLCANO MEDIC revolutionised the market and established itself as a pioneer of evaporators. The VOLCANO MEDIC evaporation system basically consists of a hot air generator and a removable valve balloon. The evaporation and inhalation processes are thus separated in time and space, which makes inhalation very safe for the user as he does not come into contact with heat or electricity from the hot air generator during inhalation from the valve balloon.
