Over the past few years, marijuana consumption methods have evolved in both complexity and popularity. There are now more ways than ever to consume cannabis products. With so many options available, it can be challenging for novice users to choose which product will best suit their needs. 

However, one of the most popular options today is the dry herb vaporizer, but this can also pose a challenge since there are so many different devices and types. If you would like to learn which type of vaporizer is right for you, continue reading. 

Heating Method

The first thing that you will need to consider, which is quite an important step in the process, is determining which heating method the vaporizer has. This is because the heating method determines the practicality of the vaporizer, and choosing the incorrect method will limit you in terms of your consumption habits. 

Vaporizers that use conduction operate similarly to pots or pans in the sense that the bottom of the chamber is heated, and the marijuana needs to make contact in order to vaporize. This causes issues with resuming a session, since the marijuana will continue to be heated for a bit after the device is turned off, and in turn potentially ruins the flavor. Vaporizers that use convection are better for resuming sessions at a later stage since hot air is circulated until the marijuana is vaporized. 

Dry Herb or Concentrates

The next thing that must be considered is if you will be using dry herb or concentrates. This is also another important decision to make. Vaporizers that are used for vaping cannabis are called dry herb vaporizers and are easy to find, especially online at sites like MagicVaporizers. In addition to this, they have different temperature settings, so users can choose how quickly they will feel the effects of vaping. 

Using a concentrate vaporizer is a little more convenient since it is less messy when getting the concentrate in the chamber, however, the effects that are felt are determined by the amount of THC inside the vaporizer.

Desktop Vaporizer

Now that you have a good idea about two important aspects to consider, you can begin to consider what size of vaporizer you are wanting. If you are wanting a large device that is capable of holding large amounts of marijuana, then perhaps you should consider getting a desktop vaporizer. Desktop vaporizers are quite large, about the same size as an average kettle, and require a power source to use. 

These devices are great for sharing since they can hold a large amount of marijuana, and they also allow for higher temperatures to be reached without a battery being drained quickly since they are connected to a power source. 

Portable Vaporizer

If having a large device that requires a power source and needs to be placed onto a surface to operate isn’t your cup of tea, but you want to be able to still hold a decent amount of marijuana, then a portable vaporizer is probably your best choice. 

There is a wide range of portable vaporizers on the market that should meet any consumption habit. For example, you could get a small portable vaporizer that has preset heating settings, but a large chamber. You could also get a device that has great battery life if you will be consuming frequently on the go. Just make sure to read about all of the components of the device to get an idea of what it is capable of, and compare that to your lifestyle. 

Vape Pen

Finally, if you don’t like the idea of a desktop vaporizer, and you don’t consume often enough to warrant buying a portable vaporizer, then the best choice that you could make is probably the cannabis pipes for smoking. These little devices are about the size of a pen, hence the name, and are great for those who don’t consume often but would like to consume on the go at a whim. 

They don’t have the biggest chambers, nor the biggest batteries, but they do offer much more portability than other devices on this list. This is a great starting point for those new to marijuana since they are affordable and do the job well.
