Choosing the Best Vaporizer for Your Cannabis Flower
Not all vaporizers are created equal, so knowing how to choose the best vaporizer for your cannabis flower can be a challenge. There are tons of blog posts out there that aim to tell you which vaporizers are the best. But few of those articles go into the details that helped the reviewer come to that conclusion. Our goal here is to help you understand what you should look for in a dry herb vaporizer, so you can find the best one for your own preferences.
How to Choose the Right Vaporizer for Your Cannabis Flower
Rather than give you another list of top however many vapes, we are here to help you know how to pick the right vape for you. You might be surprised that there are few differences when it comes to cannabis flower vaporizers, or dry herb vaporizers. Compared to those that are meant for wax and oils, the main difference is often how you load the vape.
That doesn’t mean there aren’t a few key things you should know when looking for a vaporizer. For example, how is the quality of the vapor? Is the heating element reliable for dry herb? What are the benefits of a bigger desktop vape over a portable one?
Once you know what to look for in a quality vaporizer for your cannabis flower those lists of vape options won’t seem nearly so intimidating. This way, you can go into your search with confidence that you know what you are looking for.
Consider the Quality, Amount and Flavor of the Vapor
There are multiple factors to consider when it comes to the quality and production of vapor itself. After all, this is the main reason you are looking to invest in a quality vaporizer in the first place. The most important thing here is to make sure that the vape you choose is creating actual vapor and not smoke – but we will talk about this more in the next section when we talk about the heating element.
For most people, the amount of vapor produced is a major selling point in a vaporizer. The bigger and thicker the clouds it lets you create, the greater the effects of each hit. However, you don’t want to sacrifice quality in flavor for more vapor. Vaping generally provides a purer flavor profile than smoking does. This is an important factor for many when considering one vaporizer over another.
Understand How Different Heating Elements Work
Though unseen by most, the heating element is the most essential part of your dry herb vaporizer. After all, without a heating element, you won’t produce any vapor. The two most often found heating elements are ceramic and metal/aluminum. However, ceramic is increasingly the most popular since it can withstand extreme heats without degrading.
Ceramic is considered to provide the purest vapor. This means containing the cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and other natural compounds from the plant itself. Aluminum on the other hand, outperforms ceramic in one way – a finer accuracy when responding to temperature changes. Being able to control the temperature you are heating your cannabis flower to is essential for vaping as it gives you a more controlled hit.
There are benefits to both heating elements and often the choice comes down to your own personal preference. While ceramic is increasingly popular for the pure vapors, metal or aluminum may provide a more consistent and accurate temperature control.
Deciding Between Desktop and Portable Vaporizers
Another thing you’ll need to consider is whether you want a desktop vaporizer or a portable vape. When it comes to vaping dry herbs or concentrates there are pros and cons to both styles. A desktop vape usually provides a thick vapor and will have more options when it comes to temperature controls. On the other hand, a portable is discrete and can easily be used out-and-about without drawing attention to yourself.
In most cases, you can find a style of both desktop and portable vape that will be versatile enough to use for cannabis flower as well as concentrates. The truth is, this one comes down to more of a personal preference than a practical one. If you’re serious about switching from smoking to vaping on a regular basis you may even see the benefit of investing in both styles of vaporizer.
People used to prefer vaping only for wax and oils. Now, vaping cannabis flower is growing in popularity for its potential health benefits over smoking. It might seem like there are just too many to choose from. But now that you know a few key things to look for in your first vape, read those top 10 lists with confidence. Then make sure to research the styles and brands you like the most to find the cannabis flower vaporizer that is right for you.
