Vaporizing cannabis has many advantages over smoking it as a joint. These vapers make it possible to smoke cannabis without tobacco and affect the health and lungs of users less.
As a result, the use of cannabis vaporizers, in a medical or recreational context, is booming and the material offer has grown considerably in recent years.
To the point that it can now be very difficult to navigate! Fixed vaporizers, portable, pens, convection or conduction heating system, operation on-demand or by session ...
What is a vaporizer?
First of all, it is advisable to dwell a little on what a weed vaporizer is. This is a device intended to heat a plant to a temperature slightly lower than that triggering its combustion (around 230 ° C), so as to release its active ingredients in the form of vapor without causing the emission of toxins harmful to health.
The advantages of vaporization
First of all, the lack of combustion makes this method much healthier than smoking.
Indeed, most of the harmful substances linked to cannabis are essentially products of combustion (tobacco AND cannabis alone). The weed vape, by avoiding the latter, makes its user inhale enormously less carcinogenic toxins than if he smoked.
Smoking cannabis without tobacco will help you breathe easier and lower your cigarette bills!
Since the temperatures used are lower, the vapor produced by vaporizers is also significantly less irritating to the throat and lungs than smoke from a joint, drastically reducing chronic coughing fits. Goodbye also strong odors, yellowed teeth, and fingers, ashtrays, holes in clothes…
It is mainly for these reasons that vaporization is widely used by the users of medical cannabis: for these patients, the goal is to benefit from the benefits of the plant, without having to suffer from potentially serious adverse effects on their health.
But that's not all: vaporization would also be more effective! Concretely, when cannabis is consumed in a joint, a large part - studies speak of 40% to 90% - of its active substances (cannabinoids, such as THC or CBD) burns completely before even the smoke does. reaches your lungs.
As the vaporization uses significantly lower and precisely calculated temperatures to achieve the best possible results, the active substances are preserved and can release their full potential. Vaporization, therefore, allows controlled heat, ideally between 150 and 220 ° C, when the temperatures inside a burning joint can exceed 1000 ° C!
The vapor produced by a dry herb vaporizer will therefore be purer because it is toxin-free, and will allow you to get the most out of your weed.
