Combustion vs. Vaporization: A Guide
READ TIME: 5 MIN

Stop Burning Your Terps

Lighting a joint involves temperatures exceeding 1000°F (538°C). This not only destroys a significant portion of cannabinoids instantly but also creates harmful byproducts like tar and benzene.

Enter Dry Herb Vaping

Vaporizers heat the flower to a precise temperature (usually 350°F - 430°F), releasing the active compounds as vapor without burning the plant material.

1. Flavor Purity

When you don't taste smoke/ash, you taste the plant. The nuances of Lemon Haze or Garlic Cookies become incredibly distinct.

2. Efficiency

Vaping extracts more THC per gram than smoking. You can often use half the amount of flower for the same effect.

3. AVB (Already Vaped Bud)

The leftovers aren't ash! They are decarboxylated flower that you can use to make edibles. It's like getting to use your stash twice.

Recommended Temps

  • 320°F - 356°F: Light euphoria, maximum flavor.
  • 356°F - 392°F: Stronger effects, balanced flavor.
  • 392°F+: Heavy body effects, closer to smoking sensation.
