Cannabis vaporizers are a broad category of devices that heat up marijuana-related substances to the point where they form a vapor, that vapor is then inhaled by the user through the mouthpiece of the device.
There are three main types of cannabis vaporizers; dry herb vaporizers, concentrate vaporizers, and oil vaporizers. Their differences are as follows:
Dry Herb Vaporizers
These devices vaporize cannabis in its traditional plant form, though it does need to be thoroughly ground up to a fine consistency before it can be placed into the vaporizer. Dry herb vaporizers generally use three kinds of heating methods; conduction, convection, or a hybrid of the two. Conduction heating is when the herb is heated directly via a hot surface, while convection passes hot air over the herb. A convection/conduction hybrid uses both methods.
Concentrate Vaporizers
Wax is extracted from the marijuana plant using a variety of different methods and it is more concentrated and potent than dry herb. Concentrate vaporizers are devices that use this wax extract. The main types of concentrate vaporizers are vape pens, which are portable, easy-to-use devices that are, of course, shaped like pens.
On the larger, less portable, more complicated end, you have e-nails, which are powerful, battery-powered devices that hold more wax and produce more powerful vapor than vape pens. Portable dab rigs lie somewhere in between vape pens and e-nails; they have the simplicity of vape pens, but are nearly as powerful as e-nails. They are not portable enough to be easily transported, but they are small enough to be held in one hand as they are being used.
Oil Vaporizers
Oil is another marijuana extract, one that is more of a liquid than wax. Cannabis oil is most typically attained in the form of pre-filled 510 threaded cartridges which are then attached to a battery. The batteries used with oil cartridges are typically very inexpensive and easy to use. They are either pen-shaped or box-shaped, each of which provides different advantages and disadvantages.
Vaping High vs Smoking High – Vaping weed gives a more potent high than smoking weed because no combustion is involved. When marijuana is burned, some of the potency is lost in the combustion. Since vaping doesn’t involve combustion, it is a far more efficient method of ingesting marijuana because none of the weed gets wasted.
They can be purchased from physical or online head shops or they can be purchased directly from the website of the vaporizer’s manufacturer.
Since vaporizers are an extremely efficient way of vaping weed, you can do more with less of it. That means you don’t need to use a lot of it whenever you vape, so your supply will last longer, which saves you money in the long run.
The vapor from dry herb vaporizers does smell like weed but the scent dissipates quickly and does not stick to hair or clothing fibers the way that weed smoke does.
If you are new to vaping, then you should try dry herb vaporizers first because wax is more potent and may be too intense for newbies.
THC is the psychoactive compound found in the cannabis plant and is responsible for the feeling of euphoria experienced by marijuana users. CBD is one of the cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant and does not have any psychoactive properties, but it does have health and medicinal benefits.
Yes, but it is generally better to buy a vaporizer dedicated to one particular substance instead of one that can vape both. The reason is that dry herb vaporizers that can also vape wax do not reach the temperatures necessary to properly vape wax. That means only one substance will get vaped properly rather than both.
