People began using vape pens in the late 90s, but they picked up more popularity when the AHA report stated that the water vapor isn’t as harmful as cigarette smoke. Many smokers use vape pens to quit smoking, but vaping can be frustrating if you don’t know how to do it right. Thanks to technology, you can even use portable vape pens to make your life easier.
Some people even quit vaping because they can’t get their vaporizer to work properly, and get back to smoking, but you don’t have to do that if you follow these tips:
Understand your needs
There are a variety of vaporizers in the market and it can be confusing if you’re a beginner. While some vapes have the option to smoke both dry herb and oil, others don’t have as many features. If you want to smoke dry herb, you can choose something that’s portable and easy to use. Also, purchase something that comes with temperature settings. This way, you can adjust the temperature to derive the best experience. Some vape pens can get expensive because they come with many settings, but if you think about the amount you’re spending on your cigarettes, investing in a good vaporizer becomes a no-brainer.
Choose the right herb
A dry herb vaporizer will obviously function well only if your herbs are dry. The best herb would be neither too dry nor too wet. Choose fresh herbs that are dry with no moisture. This is very important because moisture in wet herbs can really affect the heat of the device that in turn reduces the amount of vapor produced considerably.
Buy a good grinder
A dry herb vaporizer requires cannabis to be finely ground so that the heat in the device is dispersed evenly. While some people try to grind the cannabis with their own hands, it is not recommended you do that because the herb can get stuck to the screen of your vaporizer when you vape. This results in a bad experience where you’re left inhaling as hard as you can without any results.
Inhale slowly
Ever seen anyone sucking the hell out of their vaporizer? No, that’s bad practice. Don’t abuse your vaporizer by inhaling hard because it affects the device quickly. Also, it sucks up all the cold air and reduces the temperature of the heating element in the vape pen and you’ll see a reduction in the amount of water vapor immediately. Therefore, inhale slowly and occasionally to ensure that your vape pen lasts a long time.
Maintenance
Just about anything you purchase nowadays requires maintenance and vaporizers are no exceptions. Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer to a T and clean it regularly. This way, your vape pen will function well for a long time and will be worth your every penny.
Vaping a dry herb vaporizer is a perfect option for someone who wants to quit smoking for good. However, it takes some time to do it right. Just hang in there until you figure out how it works and I guarantee that you’ll enjoy the experience.
