A vaporizer heats herbs or concentrates so that the active and aromatic substances vaporize without burning. Instead of smoke, vapor is produced – gentler on the respiratory tract and significantly more aromatic because the terpenes are not burned.
How does a vaporizer work?
The material is brought to a controlled temperature below the combustion point. This releases the desired substances as vapor, while the plant material does not smolder. Fewer harmful substances, more flavor – that's the basic idea.
Convection or Conduction?
- Conduction – the material lies directly on a hot surface. Quicker to get ready, but the heat is distributed less evenly.
- Convection – hot air flows through the material. More even and aromatic, usually a bit more expensive.
What types of vaporizers are there?
They are primarily distinguished by design and material: portable devices for on-the-go and desktop vaporizers for home use, plus models for dry herbs, for concentrates, or for both. There is specific accessories for the appropriate filling.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is vaping healthier than smoking?
Because nothing burns, fewer harmful substances are produced than with smoking. This doesn't make it harmless, but it is gentler.
What is the right temperature?
That depends on the material and your taste. Lower temperatures emphasize the aroma, higher temperatures the effect. Many devices can be adjusted to the exact degree.
Can I reuse vaporizer material?
Yes, the already vaporized material (often called ABV) still contains residues and is reused by some.
Portable or desktop vaporizer?
Portable devices offer flexibility for on-the-go, while desktop vaporizers usually provide more power and vapor quality at home.
