As technology progresses, vapes are revolutionizing cannabis ingestion methods. This rising trend offers a fast-acting, discreet alternative to traditional smoking.
As opposed to smoking, vaping avoids combustion and the potentially harmful carcinogens and toxins associated with it. When vaped, plant materials concentrates, and extracts are heated just enough to turn into vapor. While more research is needed, it’s been suggested that vaping cannabis may be easier on the lungs than smoking it.
Many people also find that cannabis vapor is just more flavorful than cannabis smoke. Smoke can be harsh and tends to cover up some of that natural cannabis flavor. If you’re big on terpenes and flavor, a vaporizer is a much better option for getting the most out of premium cannabis flower or extracts.
Using a marijuana vape can also give you more control over your high. That’s because different cannabinoids and terpenes vaporize at different temperatures and many vape units have some sort of manual temperature control that lets you choose what temperature you want to vape at. Controlling the temperature of a marijuana vape means getting to decide which cannabinoids and terpenes you want to ingest, and which you want to leave behind.
Marijuana vaporizer technology has come a long way and vapes are now available in a variety of different models. Depending on what your wants and needs are, one type of marijuana vape may work much better for you than another.
Desktop vaporizers are the classic model of marijuana vaporizer, having been around for well over 20 years now. This type of marijuana vaporizer requires an electrical plug-in to work, making it a stationary unit designed for home use. Despite this common feature, there are actually a bunch of different desktop models available, each with its own strengths and weaknesses.
One of the ways that vaporizers have advanced over the last 20 years is by becoming smaller and more portable. Portable vaporizers are handheld and battery-powered units that produce vapor on-the-go, doing away with the need for an electric socket. Portable vapes are a great option for anyone who wants to vape outside of the house but can vary greatly in battery life, vapor quality, and performance.
Not every vaporizer is a cannabis flower vaporizer. Some vaporizers, like vape pens, wax pens, and e-rigs, are only meant for vaping extracts and concentrates. Even some portable and desktop units are compatible with extracts. But vape pens take things to the next level by fitting right into the palm of your hand and producing vapor almost immediately.
The most popular type of cannabis vaporizer pens work with attachable vape cartridges. These kinds of pens use batteries to heat up the oil extract inside of a cartridge, or the wax inside of a chamber, to produce potent and flavorful cannabis vapor within seconds.
Because of how small, discreet, hard-hitting, and easy-to-use they are, cartridge-compatible vape pens and wax pens pens are an excellent option for anyone looking to vape on-the-go.
