A kettle that heats weed instead of water, and lies about being healthy.
means A device that heats a substance just enough to release its active compounds as inhalable vapor, without burning it into smoke.
from From 'vapor,' tracing back to Latin 'vapor' meaning steam or exhalation — the same root that gives us 'evaporate.' The '-izer' suffix is the usual English move of bolting 'make it happen' onto a noun, same pattern as 'sterilizer' or 'humidizer.' The device's name is honest even when its health claims aren't: it genuinely does turn solid into vapor, Latin-pure and simple.
