Is it okay to cool the vapor from a vaporizer?

[Artificial Emotion]

The vapor produced by my conduction vaporizer is fed through a fairly long latex tube. I was wondering whether I would cause the vapor to condense by any appreciable amount if I were to run the tube through a bucket of ice and water?

Wikipedia says that:

Heat is the primary culprit leading to damage of the tracheo-bronchial tree whether smoking or vaporizing.

So I was wondering if I could further reduce the potential damage caused by the use of my vaporizer by attempting to cool the vapor.

The more you cool the vapor the more likely it is that it will "solidify" (for want of a better word).
Basically, it will condense again. Vaporization needs the heat to be a vapor.

What's the lowest temperature the metal plate which holds the sample of cannabis should be heated to for it to work? I think I can adjust the temperature, so should I just start off at the lowest temperature and then slowly increase it in small increments over a period of time until it starts to visibly release vapor? By keeping the temperature as low as possible I can reduce damage inflicted on my lungs, theoretically.

Yea that sounds right. You'll figure out the correct temperature eventually so that you can just leave the dial at the set temp each time you turn it on.

Use a volcano? That'll cool it off I think but still have the vapor in the bag.... I've heard those are (a little) better when it comes to your throat....

P.S. Shouldn't this be in CD?
