Vaporizers

What's all the hype about Vaporizing?

Vaporizing is becoming the normal way to enjoy medicinal herbs and aromatherapy blends. Dry herb vaporizers are available in many different forms and VaporWarehouse.com prides itself on only carrying vaporizors we would use ourselves.

If you are a smoker, the best choice you can make is to switch from smoking to using a vaporizer. Once that choice has been made you need to decide what’s the best vape for your needs and we can help you with that decision.

How do I choose a Vaporizer?

If you are going to use a vaporizer, you need to determine how you would like to use it. First step is the determine which material you plan on vaping: dry herb, extracts, or liquid then what is the best vaporizer for your material: desktop, portable or vape pen.

1. What materials do you want to vaporize?

The type of material you want to vaporize can vary based on personal needs, personal opinions on the types of processing/cultivation, and what your local regulations entail.

Three main materials exist for vaporizers:

Wax - many different forms of extracts exist. Wax for vaporizing can be found in varying degrees of consistency depending on a lot of factors. Typically the lighter and more clear the extract the better as this signifies less plant material in the mix. Vape pens for extracts are plenty and there are some high end desktops that are great for vaporizing concentrates. E-nails are also a popular way to vaporize wax. We carry a huge selection of vaporizers for wax.

Dry Herbs - Good ‘ol fashioned flowers. You can’t go wrong. Although keeping herbs to vape around can be more aromatic than it’s wax counterpart, so it’s less discreet in the smell department. For dry herb, there are a variety of desktop and portable vaporizers for flower available. Due to the physical makeup of a pen, they are not suited to properly vaporize herbs but there are plenty of great portable alternatives to pens.

E-Juice - For liquids, such as e-juice, vapor pens and vape mods were originally created for these materials. There is a large selection of various tanks that can be swapped between pens and mods. The distinction must be made that e-juice vapes are mainly for nicotine and CBD e-juice, most dyr-herb vapes do not vaporize e-juice and vice versa.

2. Decide which vaporizer option is right for you.

Three main categories exist:

desktop vaporizer vs portable vaporizer vs vape pen

Desktop Vaporizers

- If you would like to vape at home with ease with a unit that plugs into your wall, a desktop vaporizer will do the trick. Desktop dry herb vapes provide some of the best performance, power, and flavor but lack the freedom to move about and vape on the go. Many desktops have been on the market for years and have proven to be durable and dependable. We have Vaporbrothers vaporizers here that have been operating for over 10 years without any issues.

Portable Vaporizers

- Provide the freedom that desktop vapes lack and have advanced quite a bit in the past few years due to the research and technology being invested in this market. The portable vapes sold at VaporWarehouse are all battery powered and can be used with either wax, herbs or e-juice. Most vapes for e-juice do not vaporize extracts.

Vape Pens

- are named after the shape they take, they feel like a pen writing utensil. This is a very discreet way to vaporize liquids or extracts on the go. Vape pens for wax are usually more slim than a bulkier dry herb vaporizer. Vape Pens provide an efficient and economical way to vaporize liquids and extracts. Mods allow for expanding your vape pen and configuring to your needs.

3. Conduction vs. Convection Heating Methods

It is also important to think about which kind of heating method you prefer. Conduction vaporizers use direct heat touching the material to the point of vaporization. Convection vaporizers work by indirectly warming the air around the material to the point of vaporization.

What are the pros and cons of conduction vs convection vaporizers?

Convection Vaporizers

Pros - Vaping herbs and extracts with a convection vaporizer provides more even heating resulting in efficient use of material and low combustion risk.

Cons - More engineering required makes most convection vaporizers more expensive than conduction vapes.

Conduction Vaporizers

Pros - Conduction vaporizers typically have a faster heat up time compared to convection vapes. Usually a lower priced vaporizer.

Cons - Some plant material may not become fully vaporized due to uneven heating and combustion risk is higher than with convection vapes.
