I-Tal hempwick allows a VaporGenie user to adjust the size of the flame by changing the angle at which the wick is held, providing another tool for controlling the temperature of the chamber (along with breath speed and flame location). The beeswax does have a faint smell that could be described as is pleasant and woody. This smell is minimized by extinguishing the flame entirely after each hit rather than letting it smolder, a good habit for safety reasons as well. The I-Tal smell is no stronger than a candle, but it does add an aroma to the nearly-odorless process of vaporizing.
