Types of Vaporizers and How They Work
Vaporizers work by applying mild heat rather than flame to let you inhale the active ingredients of your chosen herbal mixture. When smoking mixtures are heated to the temperature range of 180-200 degrees Celsius (356 – 392 degrees Fahrenheit), it will release the most potent parts of the plant without burning it; burning the herb is more damaging on your lungs because of harmful carcinogens. This vapour comes out as a thin mist and is ready to be inhaled. This mist tastes better and much safer than smoke.
The operation of a vaporizer hinges on the type of vaporiser being used. The BC Vaporizer, a classic vaporizer, has a ceramic tray inside a glass bulb. You loosen the glass top, place some mixture in the tray, tighten the top back on and turn it on. Wait until the mixture changes colour slightly, and then merely inhale the clean vapours.
The Volcano Digit, a digital vaporizer, is capable of heating your herbal mixture instantly. You won’t have to wait the normal 5 minutes before using. A digital vaporiser has a digital readout, as well, that you can view to make sure you are vaporising at the right temperature.
The Vapir One is a balloon style vaporizer. It works by pumping the vaporised mist into a special balloon and detaching it from the vaporizer and inhaling anytime you want. This special balloon can hold more vapour compared to the other styles stated above.
