Features the Top 10 Vaporizers Have in Common

on

You may have heard people touting the advantages of vaping over smoking, especially with regard to the use of cannabis for medical purposes. Smoking does come with a number of health risks, which makes it a bit counterproductive for someone using cannabis for its medical benefits. This is why many have made the switch to using vaporizers, a method of ingesting medical marijuana that’s deemed considerably safer and more efficient than smoking.

If you, too, have made the decision to switch to vaping, then you may now be in the process of finding the vaporizer that can best meet your needs. Note that there are several choices you’ll have to make on your way to determining which vaporizer is the right one for you. The decision involves more than just checking a list of the top 10 vaporizers and then picking one. You’ll have to learn as much as you can about vaporizers, for starters, so you can come up with a well-informed decision when you finally make your choice. 

Choices to Make

Among the first choices you need to make when shopping for a vaporizer is whether to get a desktop or portable model. If you lead a lifestyle where you’re constantly on-the-go, then you definitely should get a portable model. However, if you don’t really go out that often, then you should definitely consider getting a desktop model. There are, of course, advantages and disadvantages to both desktop and portable vaporizers. The biggest advantage of a portable vape is that you can use it wherever you want. A desktop model, however, is more versatile in terms of intake method and generally delivers vapor of better quality.

Once you’ve decided on the type of vaporizer, you’ll then have to choose the heating method. Vaporizers use either conduction or convection to heat the herb. With conduction, the herb is in direct contact with the source of heat. With convection, heat is transferred to the herb via air particles. 

Convection is deemed the better heating method because unlike conduction, it doesn’t come with the risk of combusting, rather than vaporizing, the herb. Note, however, that vaporizers that use convection are often more expensive and harder to find.

If you choose to go for a handheld vaporizer, then you’d also have to decide whether to get one that runs on butane or one that’s powered by a rechargeable battery. Most vaporizers available on the market are powered by batteries; you may have to make an extra effort if you choose to find a butane-powered model. If, after looking at a number of vaporizers, you find that you’re leaning towards one that’s powered by an internal battery, make sure the warranty of the device covers battery replacement.

You’d also do well to check the vaporizer's temperature control. Check out the video below.

There are models that automatically control the temperature. There are also those that allow you to set the temperature. The ideal temperature that delivers the best quality of vapor depends on your specific needs, so it may be best to go for a vaporizer with a digital temperature control, as it allows you to set the temperature with the most precision. You may also want to check what accessories a particular vaporizer comes with; make sure these accessories aren’t too expensive to buy when a replacement is needed.

Top 10 Vaporizers: What They Have in Common

Earlier I said choosing a vaporizer doesn’t just constitute picking one out of a Top 10 Vaporizers list. That doesn’t mean such a list won’t help you arrive at a decision. In fact, you can check a top ten list to see what the best vapes have in common. This way, you’ll know exactly what features you should be looking for when you shop for your own vaporizer. To help you out, we have reviewed a number of top 10 vaporizers list to see what makes them the best of their kind.

Portability – Most of the vaporizers that are deemed the best of their kind are handheld devices. Perhaps the reason for this is that most people now lead on-the-go lifestyles, so they’ll naturally appreciate the convenience of being able to vape whenever and wherever they need. Of course, if you’re home most of the time, then you may also want to consider a desktop vaporizer.

Discreet Style – Although more and more people are now vaping and using cannabis for medical reasons, there’s still a bit of a stigma surrounding marijuana and the people using it. For this reason, manufacturers make it a point to design vaporizers such that they aren’t too obvious. The more discreet the design, the more it is appreciated by consumers.

Draw Duration – This refers to the length of time needed to get a sufficient amount of vapor from the device. Obviously, you’ll want to find a device that offers shorter draw duration, as short draws are generally more comfortable than long draws. Needless to say, short draw duration is something the best vaporizers have to offer.

Excellent Vapor Quality – Who would want to inhale vapor that smells and tastes like smoke? Vaporizers that are deemed the best of their kind are those that offer an aromatic, rich, and flavorful vapor. It helps to learn a bit more about how the device works and what materials it is made of to determine whether it will emit high-quality vapor. A device that uses convection, for example, is preferable to one that uses conduction because it eliminates the risk of combusting the herb you’re supposed to vaporize.

Durability – You’d naturally want to get the most out of your investment. Understandably, the best vapes are those that are built to last. When you shop for a vaporizer, hold it in your hands to see if it has a solid build. Most vaporizers have glass tubes where the vapor passes as you ingest it. Make sure the type of glass used is a durable one to reduce the risk of cracking, chipping, and breaking.

Now that you have an idea as to what features you need to look for in a vaporizer, you should be ready to shop for one that meets your preferences and needs.
