Answers to questions about Vapura, vaporizers or our services and policies
Vaporizers and vaporizing
What is a vaporizer?
A vaporizer is a device that heats herbs to a temperature at which they release their active ingredients into vapor. This vapor contains almost none of the toxic elements found in smoke. See our blog posts about What is vaporization for more information.
How does a Vaporizer work?
When herbs are heated to a certain temperature their active ingredients begin to boil and are released. As the temperature used is low, the herbs do not get burned and there is little or no smoke created. The vapors which are released are much more concentrated and cleaner than smoke.
What are the benefits of a Vaporizer?
Minimal Odour - Ideal for use in small, shared, or unventilated rooms.
Efficiency – You will use far less herb for the same effect. Burning the plant material burns over 40% of the active ingredient as well.
Economy - Vaporizers are far more economical than traditional methods of smoking.
Reported Health Benefits - Studies have found that vaporizing is easier on the lungs and contains far less harmful carcinogens and tar normally found in smoke.
What are the different types of heating methods of Vaporizers?
There are two main types of vaporizers: those that use conduction and those that use convection. Conduction vaporizers heat herbs through direct contact with a hot surface. Convection vaporizers heat herbs by passing heated air over them. Convection vaporizers are considered the superior option because they heat herbs more evenly and there is little risk of burning them, which may sometimes occur with conduction vaporizers.
What are the different types of Vaporizers?
There are also two main types of vaporizers: portable and desktop. We answer this question extensively in our blog post, be sure to read it for more info!
Does a Vaporizer produce any odor?
The odor produced by a vaporizer is almost non-existent when compared to smoking. Within a few moments of using a vaporizer, most if not all odor vanishes.
How do I know when my herbs are finished
The vapor material is done when your plant material changes in color to a much darker color. You will quickly learn this after a few times of use.
Can you re-use your herbs once it's been vaporized
Yes, you can re-vaporize your herbs to extract any remaining active ingredients in any way you prefer.
