Interesting study in light of recent developments what with some folks getting sick using vape pens for their medicine. The suggestion is cheap vape pens are heating the BHO too hot releasing benzene and other stuff and otherwise allowing oil droplets to reform in the lungs. The study concluded by saying "...that dabbing, although considered a form of vaporization, may in fact deliver significant amounts of toxic degradation products."Keep them dabs under 322 °C according to this study some terpenes may degrade into benzene hotter than that.

The study suggested the best way to address this was to keep the nail temperature low, as @Jefferson1977 suggested, which basically means using an e-nail and enjoying lower temp dabs.
