How to vaporize cannabis properly

Smoking marijuana is still the most common way to enjoy it, but vaping is a better alternative to smoking.

When weed is vaporized, no combustion occurs, which avoids many of the problems associated with smoking, such as the creation of carcinogens through combustion.

In addition, vapes are more effective. In a recent article on our blog, we looked at a study that proved

Vaping marijuana makes you higher than smoking it.

Another study from California showed that vaporizing weed can deliver 46 percent of the THC in a marijuana sample. In comparison, a joint only delivers about 25 percent THC. The rest is destroyed by heat and sidestream smoke.

Vaporizing cannabis involves heating the plant to release the terpenes and cannabinoids in the form of vapor, but you'll need a few things to get started.

Quality cannabis: Extremely dry or wet herbs will not make for a great vaping experience. Make sure your cannabis is properly dried and has a normal moisture content.

Evaporator: You need a vaporizer. Weed vaporizers range from small handheld devices to medical-grade devices that sit on a desk.

Herb grinder: Some convection vaporizers allow you to use whole flower, but it's best to use ground flower for vaporizing, especially if you have a vaporizer that uses conduction. Grinding the marijuana increases the surface area, resulting in even heating and a better vaping experience.

Accesories: Some vaporizers come with cleaning accessories such as brushes, pipe cleaners, cotton swabs, alcohol, and stirring tools.

Once you have all the tools needed to fill the vaporizer, follow these steps:

1. Charge the vaporizer or plug it in if necessary.

2. Put your weed into the vaporization chamber.

3. Use your fingers or a tool to remove any excess weed from the top so that the surface is relatively flat. Do not fill the vaporizer with too much weed. You want air to be able to circulate and ensure good airflow.

4. Turn the appliance on. A helpful rule of thumb is to set the appliance to around 170-210°C. Once you are familiar with using the appliance, choose your preferred temperature.

5. When the weed gets hot, inhale.

Always take short, slow puffs from the atomizer battery.

If you try to take long, deep breaths, particularly cold air can enter the heating chamber, causing the temperature inside the device to drop.

After vaping, open the vaporizer to check the color of the grass.

If what's left looks brown with a hint of green, it has already been fully vaped or is Already Vaped Bud (AVB). You can use AVB in foods and recipes like hemp butter and brownies.

Now you know the basics of vaping weed.

However, the most popular first device people buy is the vape pen.

How to use a vape pen

A vape pen is a cylindrical device about the size of a regular ballpoint pen. The device usually comes with a battery connected to an oil cartridge containing between 0.3 and 1 gram of cannabis concentrate or rosin.

While components vary by model, the core components of most concentrate vaporizers are similar. These include:

Vape Battery – The battery part of the vaporizer is the power unit that heats the device and enables vaping.

Some batteries have a button to turn the device on and off and to change the voltage settings.

Vape Cartridges – The cartridges are connected to the battery.

It has a chamber that contains the vapor substance and an atomizer coil. The electricity from the battery heats the atomizer and turns the vaping oil into vapor.

Mouthpiece – The mouthpiece allows the vapor of the heated oil to escape from the cartridge when inhaled.

How to use it:

1. Turn on the vape pen. For most vapes, this means clicking the power button five times.

2. Press and hold the power button to heat the atomizer.

3. The atomizer will start heating the oil almost immediately. Inhale slowly and gently through the mouthpiece. Take small puffs as some vape pens can overheat if you inhale too hard.

Note that the temperature of the vape pen should not be high enough to burn the oil or herb.

If the heating element in the vape pen gets hot enough to burn the oil, try setting your device to a low heat setting to ensure you vaporize the oil and don't burn it.

Vape pens are simple and convenient, and it's best to store the vape upright to avoid accidental leaks from the cartridge.

If you are having problems with your vape pen, the cartridge might be clogged. This article will give you tips on how to fix the problem.How do you know if your vape cartridge is empty?
