The process of vaporisation has been studied since ancient times, particularly in the context of cooking and distillation. Over the centuries, understanding of vaporisation has expanded with advancements in chemistry and physics, especially during the Industrial Revolution when the power of steam engines became central to technological progress. The modern usage of 'vaporising' has evolved to encompass a wide range of contexts, including cooking, industrial processes, and even in modern vaping practices.
