5. Oven size

Oven size used to be more of an issue but manufactures came up with innovative ways to reduce/ increase oven size. You see, when using a vaporizer, you have to use all the herb you place in the oven- in one session. You can not vape a few hits, let it go, come back an hour later, and vape a few more hits from the same oven. Well technically you could, it’ll just suck.

So current day vapes use oven inserts to reduce oven size– IQ uses glass spacers, Pax 3 uses a half-oven lid, Mighty/Crafty use an oven pad, and new Volcano Hybrid uses an oven reducer. All allow you to choose the oven size and get efficient with your herbs.

Vaping VS Smoking

Unlike your standard joint, dry herb vaporizers are all-electric. They can come in a variety of different sizes, from the easily portable ones that can fit into a pocket to larger ones that are only suitable for home use. And unlike your standard joint, dry herb vaporizers don’t use combustion. Instead, they heat up the herb by passing hot air over it, which creates a vapor that is inhaled by the user.

That is the main reason why dry herb vaporizers are recommended over joints or bongs. The lack of combustion has quite a few benefits, and you quickly learn to appreciate the full flavor of your dry herb.

As far as the “high”, vapers describe the high you get from vaping as “cleaner” and more consistent. Vaping is super potent and the effects are even stronger and faster compared to joints.

Vaping Extracts

Some dry herb vapes also allow the use of THC extracts and Concentrate (examples- Pax 3, Crafty/Mighty). I highly recommend to avoid it. You shouldn’t use extracts in your primary dry herb vape. Extracts will make everything stick and will double your cleaning needs.

You should buy a separate wax vape pen for your extracts. They are not expensive, small, and will work with concentrates better than dry herb vaporizers.
