If you enjoy smoking pot, you have probably heard about or used a weed vaporizer. These devices come in all shapes and sizes from large desktop units to compact portable weed vaporizers. Unlike the electronic cigarettes that have become almost synonymous with the word “vape”, most of these devices are just simply electronic heaters designed to warm up your plant material. This provides a nice clean vapor as the THC in your bud vaporizes instead of burning.

To understand more about weed vaporizers, you need to understand a little more about the science behind vaping. Obviously, smoking weed gets you stoned. Baking weed into things gets you stoned, but consuming raw weed will not produce that signature “high” that users are looking for. That is because in order to form THC, the active ingredient in cannabis, you have to heat your weed. Burning is the most common way to achieve this, but it can also destroy some of the THC in the process. Vaporization is another way to achieve this.

Vapes heat weed above the point where the active THC is created but below the point where weed burns. This produces a flavorful vapor that contains plenty of THC without all of the tar and other chemicals associated with smoking. Most vaporizers have variable temperature settings so users can dial in their vapor quality and achieve a smooth vapor.

Portable weed vaporizers are one of the most convenient vaping options because they make it easy to enjoy a few quick hits wherever you find yourself. These portable dry herb vaporizers often use a conduction heating system. This involves having your weed in direct contact with a heating element. Typically users just pack the unit, let it heat up, and take hits until the vape ceases to produce vapor or the vapor starts to take on a “burnt popcorn” like taste. Stirring occasionally often helps ensure an even vaporization.

Many desktop vaporizers and smoke portable vaporizers are built using convection based heating. In convection vapes, hot air is drawn through your weed to heat it evenly all the way through. If you can think of a conduction vape as a frying pan, a convection vape would be an oven. They often require a longer vapor path in order to ensure that the hot air has some time to cool before it is inhaled. No matter what kind of vaporizer you use, you will experience a flavor that is vastly superior to smoking while typically using less weed and also producing a less obvious odor.
