1. One of the most important benefits of a dry herb vaporizer is that it has far less impact on lung health.
A dry herb vaporizer heats herbs to a temperature that releases the active compounds without burning the plant. This reduces the amount of harmful substances you inhale. Simply put, you won't breathe in the smoke that comes from burning your chosen herbs.
Aside from the fact of smoke inhalation itself, the amount of heat entering the lungs cannot be healthy. Although we are not doctors, we can tell you from personal experience that it is easier to inhale vapor than a large cloud of smoke. Not only that, doctors who prescribe medical cannabis recommend vaping it. It works better for your respiratory health and makes for a much more pleasant experience.
3. If you want to feel the unique taste and aroma of selected herbs, then steaming is just for you!
Smoke tastes like smoke, and steaming herbs to a certain temperature can really change their flavor and aroma. A dry herb vaporizer, on the other hand, heats the herbs to a lower temperature, allowing you to experience their natural aroma.
This makes vaping much more enjoyable and allows you to appreciate the nuances of different types of herbs. Get ready for an explosion of floral, fruity, minty and earthy terpenes, to name a few!
The same goes for the smell of steam. Smoke has a specific smell that spreads, lingers and sticks to rooms and clothes. Dry herb vapor smells like the herb you're using, not that distinct, easily recognizable smell you get in your head when you smoke. The smell of vapor is nowhere near as penetrating. It usually disappears within 30 minutes indoors and almost immediately outdoors.
3. It's a way of spending that will definitely save you money over time.
The difference between smoking and using a dry weed vaporizer is that when you smoke, you burn the entire weed, including the parts that may not contain active ingredients. As a result, herbs can be wasted and their potency reduced. On the other hand, vaping heats the herbs to a temperature where the active compounds are released, without burning the plant. This means you can use much less to achieve the same result.
While purchasing a dry herb vaporizer requires an initial investment (if you go for a high-end model, the investment can be substantial), the savings you'll save later on will outweigh the initial cost and more.
4. Dry herb vaporizers allow you to customize your needs. You can actually do two different sessions from the same bowl that will be completely different!
Different herbal compounds vaporize at different temperatures. For example, when vaping at a lower temperature, the vapor is lighter. The effect can be energizing - perfect for daytime. Fire up the same jar at a higher temperature and get ready to relax. You can also adjust the temperature to suit different species to get the most out of your favorite herb.
Similar to regulating potential exposure, dry herb vaporizers offer more control over dosage. Since the herb is not burned all at once, you can use less and get similar results. When you burn your plant material, the really high temperature releases the active ingredients in one puff of smoke. It can be intense for someone looking for minimal exposure.
This higher temperature also destroys some of the active ingredients. So those who use cannabis for medical reasons may want to take this into account when determining the best way to use it.
5. Using a dry herb vaporizer is also more discreet and convenient than traditional smoking methods.
Vaporizers produce less smoke and odor than smoking, making them easier to use in public places or around other people. Plus, many vaporizers are small and portable, so you can take them with you wherever you go. This can be especially helpful for those who use herbs for medicinal purposes and need to take them throughout the day.
In fact, there is nothing much simpler than using a loaded dry herb vaporizer. Just pull it out of your pocket, press the button or heat it up with a lighter, let the heating element heat up for a moment and the device is ready for use. If you use a lower temperature, you can even stop the session in the middle and finish later. What remains is biodegradable and can be disposed of anywhere.
A good way to think of a dry herb vaporizer is like a cell phone.
Another big plus is that vapor is harder to see and smell, so it's usually undetectable.
