Dry herb vaporizers are devices that allow you to heat your dry herbs, providing a safer alternative to smoking. There are many different types of dry herb vaporizers on the market, so it can be difficult to decide which one is right for you. In this blog post, we will discuss the different types of dry herb vaporizers and the benefits of using them. We will also provide a buyer’s guide to help you choose the right vaporizer for your needs. So, if you’re interested in learning more about dry herb vaping, keep reading!
Conduction Vaporizers
The first type of dry herb vaporizer on this list is the conduction vaporizer, which has become quite popular over the last few years. In terms of appearance, both the conduction and the convection vaporizers look the same, and they come in many different designs, including the new and significantly upgraded portable CFZ + for those on the go. Although they look the same, the heating method differs quite substantially. As the name “conduction” might suggest, these vaporizers have heating coils that need to make contact with the herb inside the chamber.
Of course, this means that the material inside the chamber heats up relatively quickly compared to convection vaporizers; it also means that there is an uneven distribution of heat. More importantly, conduction vaporizers are also known as “session vaporizers,” since you need to finish all of the dry herbs inside the chamber in one sitting. This is because, as mentioned, there could be an uneven distribution of heat, which could result in leftover chunks of cannabis remaining in the chamber.
Convection Vaporizers
The next type of vaporizer on this list is in direct contrast to the above-mentioned conduction vaporizer. Where conduction vaporizes are more like pans or kettles, the convection vaporizer is more like an oven. This is because, with the convection vaporizer, hot air is circulated around the cannabis inside the chamber, ensuring an even distribution of heat.
If you are someone who does not consume cannabis in one sitting and would prefer to consume cannabis in small amounts throughout the day, the convection vaporizer is a much better choice. This is made apparent especially because conviction vaporizers are also called “on-demand vaporizers” because you can consume cannabis on demand. More importantly, when it comes to conviction vaporizers, there is much less chance of combustion occurring, which cannot be said when compared to conduction vaporizers.
Hybrid Vaporizers
The next type of vaporizer on this list is the hybrid vaporizer. Many people would make the argument that hybrid vaporizers are far superior to both convection vaporizers and conduction vaporizers. This is because, with hybrid vaporizers, you are getting the best of both worlds. Firstly, you are getting much better battery life than traditional convection models, and secondly, you are getting much better flavor than a conduction vaporizer might offer.
How do hybrid vaporizers work? Hybrid vaporizers keep the walls of the chamber heated at all times, which ensures an even distribution of heat, meaning there won’t be any leftover chunks of cannabis. More importantly, the chamber is only heated up to the desired temperature when the user inhales, which means that no cannabis is vaporized when the user is not using the device. In addition to the walls of the device is heated, a stream of hot air is also used to vaporize the cannabis inside, which further ensures an even distribution of heat with no chance of combustion that could ruin the flavor of the cannabis inside.
Benefits
Now that you have a better understanding of the various types of vaporizers that you could be using, you are probably curious to find out the various benefits that using a dry herb vaporizer offers. One of the biggest benefits of using a dry herb vaporizer is the fact that it offers way more convenience than other consumption methods. For example, it is small, making it discrete and very portable.
One of the biggest disadvantages of combustion-related cannabis consumption methods is the fact that they produce quite a strong smell, and the smoke can cling to not only clothes but furniture, curtains, and more. This is not a problem with dry herb vaporizers, since the vapor produced does not cling to anything and disappears within 30 minutes. Finally, using a dry herb vaporizer is much healthier than other methods of consumption since combustion is not used, which means no harmful carcinogens or toxins are created.
