Smoking weed, while a great way to unwind, is not really the best choice for your health. The jury is out on whether smoking pot is as bad as using tobacco products, it’s a pretty obvious fact that inhaling any kind of smoke is not ideal. You can always use edibles, but they just don’t provide the instant gratification that comes with inhaling your weed. Luckily, dry herb vaporizers let you take the same weed you would smoke and turn it into clean tasty vapor. If you have been wondering if you should buy a weed vaporizer, there are a number of benefits to consider.
So you are probably wondering how vaporizers work, but let’s take a step back and talk about how weed works. Basically your weed has a chemical compound in it called THCA. Yes, that was not a mistake, weed is packed with THCA not THC. That’s why you cannot just eat raw weed and get high. When you heat THCA it becomes the THC we all know and love, providing weed’s signature high.
Burning your bud will complete this conversion, though it will also destroy some THCA and give you an incomplete cannabinoid extraction. Weed vaporizers heat your bud just enough to convert THCA to THC and turn that THC, along with some water and a few other compounds, into a flavorful vapor. This process helps to create more THC from your buds without producing the tar and other harmful chemicals associated with smoking.
There are several styles of vaporizers including portable dry herb vaporizers and desktop vaporizers. Most vape users who want to buy a weed vaporizer start with a portable vape before making the commitment to buying a desktop vaporizer.
There are two different ways that dry herb vapes heat your weed, through convection or conduction. Convection vapes more hot air through your bud, evenly toasting all of the material like baking bread in an oven. Conduction vaporizers expose your weed to a hot surface, like cooking with a frying pan. Conduction vaporizers sometimes need to be stirred so all the weed gets to contact the heating element to ensure an even vaping. Most portable units rely on conduction heating because they are more compact while desktop vapes tend to rely on convection heating in order to provide the best vapor quality.
No matter what kind of vape you are using, your first vape hits will be extremely flavorful and thin, but the intensity of the vapor will increase as you raise the temperature settings until you reach a point where the vapor will take on a kind of “burnt popcorn” taste. At this point you can dump out the vaped herb and pack another bowl.
Don’t throw away your vaped weed though! Vaped weed (known colloquially as ABV or AVB) already has had its THCA converted to THC, meaning any residual THC in the bud is active and ready to consume. There are plenty of great recipes online on how to turn your vaped weed into edibles.
