Ionically cleansed marijuana smoke?
    #5547219 - 04/23/06 12:04 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

How practical/impractical is a bong that ionically cleanses marijuana smoke of harmful chemicals? I've been thinking about this for a while but I don't know enough about the chemistry of marijuana smoke's individual molecular components or the by-products of ionization to make any judgements on the subject.

Does anybody know of any reasons why this would be impractical?

Hmmm maybe u should see how ionic's work? I would reccommend a vaporizer, bongs already filter some what of the smoke( with the water). This sounds like garbage to me, but who knows! I would use either the volcano vape, or the lesser expensive $200 "vapor brothers", this is what i have. Good luck researching!

How ionizers work is like this:

They have a series of plates that are given an electrical charge. As particles pass by the plates, it ionizes them with the charge from the plate. The particles are then attracted to one of the plates of the opposite charge. So, the particle gets stuck to the plate. They work pretty well to filter large particles out of the air.

When you smoke pot, some of the particles are bad, but many of them contain the stuff you're trying to get into your body. I imagine that running it through an ionizing filter would just waste your pot.

Yes Konnrade, that is how ionizers work.

I just wonder what the charge of THC, Carbon Monoxide, compounds that make up the tar, etc.

If it happened to be that THC had a positive and everything bad had a negative charge, then positively charging filter plates could remove those compounds from the smoke you inhale. That was my initial idea, but I just don't know the charges on each desireable/undesireable compound.

This is why I started this thread. I wanted to see what others thought about it.

Yeah... ionizers are not selective. If something is a particle, then the ionizer will try to grab it and capture it. At least that is my understanding of it.

The charge in the particles is induced BY the ionizer... so I don't think the nature of the particle itself will prevent them from being captured by it. Any particles containing THC, which you would want to make it past the ionizer, would be likely to be captured as well.

Vapors would still make it through, since they're a gas, but I'd imagine the ionizer would cause a lot of waste.

I've seen one of those Ionizers clear a tube of smoke in like 30 seconds, that not what you want to happen when you smoke pot.

well, it looks like consensus says not to bother. OK, I won't...i'll save myself the trouble and make some hash.
