It consists of an atomizer, a power source such as a battery, and a container such as a cartridge or tank. Instead of smoke, the user inhales vapor.

The alcohols extract undesirable water-soluble substances such as chlorophyll and sugars (which can be removed later by washing with water).

[61] A recent study using X-ray crystallography showed that CBD binds inside the sodium channel pore at a novel site at the interface of the fenestrations and the central hydrophobic cavity of the channel.
