General Vaporizing Questions

What does vaping mean?



What is a Vaporizer?

By Google definition - a Vaporizer is a device that turns a liquid into vapor.


This smoking device heats up the loose-leaf at a degree before combustion (burning), which eliminates the harmful effects associated with traditional smoking.  Vaporizers utilize a atomizer or a cartomizer to heat up the substance while producing pure vapor without that other harmful junk included.

All different type of Vaporizers?


There is portable vapes, desktop vapes and vape pens.  Some vapes can only vaporize dry herbs, some oil concentrates, some can vaporize both or all materials.

Is it difficult to vaporize?


How do I clean my vaporizer?


Is there benefits to vaping rather than traditional smoking?


Is a vaporizer the same as a bong?


Does a vaporizer smell while using it?



Should I grind the flower before vaping?

We would recommend grinding your loose-leaf to get the best results, however just be cautious to not grind it too fine depending on what vaporizer you are using.  By grinding the flower, you’re creating smaller particles, which will increase the surface of the flower in contact with the vapor.  Vapor will come through easier and more aromatic and as a result, you’ll have a nice and crisp flavor.  This also prevents any waste of material and you’ll notice more vapor being produced.

What is the best temperature to vaporize at?

This really depends on the type of flower you’re using and how dry the flower is.


What is the difference between conduction and convection heating?


Convection based vaporizers heat the material indirectly by blowing hot air to them and extracting the flavors from the flower.  Convection based vapes are becoming more preferred because it seems to provide a better flavor, but they are a bit more expensive than conduction based vapes.

How to increase vapor production?

Remember that by vaporizing, you’re eliminating 90% of the smoke, so do not expect a huge smoke cloud compared to when you would be burning the flower.  By grinding your loose-leaf, packing the chamber tightly and increasing the temperature you’re vaporizing at, you will notice an increase in vapor production.
