Tips on using a Handheld Vaporizer
Handheld vaporizers are a quick and easy way to enjoy legal highs without a lot of muss and fuss. In fact, the only way to simplify the process any more is to roll a blunt. But, if you prefer to enjoy the vapours without the smoke, here’s how to get the most from your handheld vaporizer.
Your first task is to put your mixture of herbs into the bowl of the device, then screw the stem into place. Make sure the fit is snug, so there is no chance of the vapours seeping through a crack at the joint.
Using your stash lighter, gently warm the herbs in the bowl. This is accomplished by holding the flame under the bowl and slowly moving the bowl in circles over the flame. You’ll notice that as the herbs begin to heat up, vapour forms in the bowl and begins to work its way up the stem.
Once the bowl and the lower portion of the stem are loaded with vapour, place your lips over the mouthpiece and inhale. You’ll notice the sensation is not the jarring sensation that you get from smoking, but rather a gentle high that comes on as you inhale. Some people find the gradual build-up to be ultimately more intense than smoking burning herbs.
After finishing, always allow the bowl to cool to room temperature before attempting to unscrew the stem and remove the herbs. Cleanup is very simple, requiring nothing more than a little warm water and possibly some mild detergent. Depending on whether the herbs leave any type of residue in the bowl, something like rubbing alcohol may be needed. If so, be sure to wash with warm water after the using the alcohol, so there is no residue left to spoil your next round of use.
