Is cadmium dangerous?

Cadmium is dangerous. If it is ingested it is very bad for you. The cadmium in the glass that is used in this industry is really fairly safe. When the glass is originally made it does a lot of off-gassing and the air is exhausted through a very well ventilated area. Once the glass is made the glass is fairly safe to work in the flame and is really pretty safe in the cool state. Even when a piece of boro cadmium glass is used in a banger it is pretty safe. The glass does not get hot enough to turn molten so the cadmium is still in the glass. Many of the new bangers that use a piece of cadmium glass in it have the boro cadmium sealed away from coming in contact with the outside air

Is there different kinds of quartz glass? Is American better than China?

Most all quartz is originated from China or the Czech Republic. The final glass is then welded, cut and finished in the USA. We have searched and searched for an American quartz manufacturer and have come up short time and time again. What makes quartz good is if it was made from high quality. There are many qualities from China and the Czech Republic. One thing we have noticed is most all the new designs originate in the USA and are then copied in China. Even some of the big boys are now getting their quartz from China and saying they make it. We will always let you know where our glass originated from.

Why did my Volcano bag pop?

This can happen as your Volcano vaporizer uses a pump to fill the bag. This is good in that it can fill a bag that has resistance from the herb being packed too tight. But the problem of the bag popping can happen if you walk away from your vaporizer and do not turn it off. The Super Surfer, on the other hand, uses a fan to fill the bag more quietly than the Volcano. With the fan having less force than a pump your bag will not pop when filled all the way. The Super Surfer actually will stop vaporizing as the air will be blocked from the pressure of the bag is full.
