What is a vaporizer?
A Vaporizer is a device used to release the active ingredients of your blends or oils/concentrates without combustion (which creates smoke). This is achieved through either Convection or Conduction.
How is vaporizing healthier than smoking?
Instead of burning the material, your product is heated at a much lower temperature. This allows all of the benefits that blends have to offer without the carcinogens and other nasty by-products that are released during combustion (smoking).
What's the difference between Conduction and Convection?
With Conduction vaporization, your blend is placed in direct contact with the heating source. Convection vaporization occurs when hot air passes over the blend, but never actually touches the heating element/source.
Do vaporizers make any noise?
Most vaporizers make no sound at all. However, some of the forced-air units (Volcano, Extreme Q, etc.) will make a light fan noise when air is passing through the whip or balloons are being filled.
Does my vaporizer come with a warranty?
For each vaporizer, the warranty period and coverage is persuant to the manufacturer’s warranty policy. Most of our vaporizers come with at least a 1 Year Warranty, however, many of them include a Lifetime Warranty.
Is there a smell associated with vaporizing?
There is a slight smell that is released upon exhaling (comparable to lightly burnt popcorn), but it’s very mild when compared to smoking.
What is a forced-air vaporizer and how does it work?
Forced-Air Vaporizers is a high-quality Vaporizer that utilizes a Forced-Air system, which is quite simply an internal fan that propels hot air over your herbs. This process creates a perfect vapor stream that can be used with a whip attachment or in a bag. Some of the best vaporizers on the market utilize a forced-air system because it provides the user with a consistent and reliable stream of vapor. Many of these units also have different fan settings to control the speed of hot air that flows over your herbs.
