is using a Propane torch w/ bho legit for my health?

[daheadies]

I was just wondering if using a propane torch to heat up my oil device in a enclosed room is ok for my health? i dont know anything about propane..

I wanna know both how bad the fumes before the flame is lit, and also if they are harmful when combusted/ fired up..

Thanks for the input in advance to everyone who comments

from wikipedia:

Propane undergoes combustion reactions in a similar fashion to other alkanes. In the presence of excess oxygen, propane burns to form water and carbon dioxide.

C3H8 + 5 O2 → 3 CO2 + 4 H2O + heat

propane + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water

When not enough oxygen is present for complete combustion, incomplete combustion occurs when propane burns and forms water, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and carbon.

2 C3H8 + 7 O2 → 2 CO2 + 2 CO + 2 C + 8 H2O + heat

Propane + Oxygen → Carbon dioxide + Carbon monoxide + Carbon + Water

Hope that helps,

Sadly, in deference to my aging lungs, I have stopped smoking anything period, though I still vaporize. It has made the world of difference in my bronchial irritation and coughing.

I hate that, because I really love the different flavors of bud and good dry sieve or bubble, but alas, one must do what one must do!

At home I use my plumber's propane torch to heat up my Ti wand, instead of my smaller butane torch in my carry 420 count 7.62 Nato cartridge ammo can. It is way faster, albeit more noisy, and is clean burning. I admire that in a torch when I am not trying to carry on a conversation!

Perhaps the detractors of propane as an energy source, might further research the subject, and in doing so note that it is used as forklift fuel in enclosed buildings, because it doesn't emit the same noxious toxins as gasoline. Not something to drink, but also not something to cringe away from.

For what it is also worth, I've found that just waving a propane or butane torch over the top of what ever is in the bowl, will extract sweet Mary's goodness, without actually igniting the material. Hee, hee, hee.....................

yeah all the clubs here in BC got a letter from the city saying that the butane wasn't medical grade and wasn't recommended for ppl as it was exactly clean lol ,,find the medical grade and you should be golden peace out Headband707

If you can verify that the source propane is 100% pure then no worries. FWIW...Just because it doesn't show up on the label, doesn't mean it's not in there. Our governments have strange standards for determining what has to be put on a label, based on percentages. Simply put...if its an amount smaller than the predescribed standard for a product...it Can Not be put on the label. This practice is all over the place....Nutrients solutions, bagged soil-less mixes, and the food you eat. (we all know the fda allows for a certain amount of foulness in everything we eat, ...just cuz wonder bread doesn't tell you about the trace amounts of rat poop...doesn't change the fact that it is still present).

Just be aware people....and make informed choices...don't just believe it, find out for yourself. peace DLB
