So, What is a dry herb vaporizer? A traditional flame ignites the entire flower somewhere between 977 and 1,830 degrees Fahrenheit and smoke is inhaled. A dry herb vaporizer uses conduction, convection, or both to heat just the cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavorants to create a vapor. A dry herb vaporizer heats flower between 350 and 420 degrees, and it is the only device that can turn flower into a vape. Some dry herb vaporizers can vape both flower and dabs, but special attachments are required.  There are desktop vaporizers and portable vaporizers. Both allow users to precisely control the temperature for vaporization and require regular maintenance and the removal of leftover plant matter.
What is a Dry Herb Vaporizer?
A dry herb vaporizer is a device that heats cannabis flower so that the cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavorants can be inhaled without burning any other plant material. The temperature can be set anywhere from 350 to 420 degrees Fahrenheit. This is the range where the trichomes on the plant boil and turn to a vapor but the plant matter only gets toasted and brown. Many enthusiasts describe the experience of a dry herb vaporizer as fresher and a full spectrum cannabis session.
What is the Best Dry Herb Vaporizer?
The best dry herb vaporizer depends on personal preference and available space. There are two kinds of dry herb vaporizers, desktop and portable. Desktop vaporizers are larger and usually hold more flower than portable vaporizers. They usually have a container of some kind that fills with vapor and then consumers inhale once the container is full. The desktop dry herb vaporizer is ideal for sharing with larger groups of friends. The downside to these devices is that they can be very expensive. Most start at $300 and many are more expensive.

Most portable dry herb vaporizers can fit in the palm of a hand, but not all portable dry herb vaporizers can fit in the pocket of a pair of jeans. This device is usually much smaller than desktop dry herb vaporizers with a chamber that can be as small as 0.2 grams. They are great for on the go, but unfortunately, they are usually only good for one or two people to enjoy.
How Do You Use A Dry Herb Vaporizer?
A dry herb vaporizer functions best when freshly ground flower is used. A coarse grind is recommended as this gives more surface area for the heat to touch without having everything clump together. Once the flower is ground, open the chamber and loosely pack the flower in the chamber. Don’t smash as much as possible in the chamber as this will restrict airflow. Close the chamber, and then turn on the dry herb vaporizer. Make sure the temperature is set to the preferred degree. Many enthusiasts prefer 400 degrees Fahrenheit, but flower can be vaporized at temperature as low as 350 degrees.

After the ideal temperature is set, it will take anywhere from 60 seconds to two minutes for the device to reach that temperature. Once the internal temperature is reached, inhalation can begin. Using a slow, deliberate inhale is ideal to achieve the maximum hit. Inhaling too fast could cause the flower to cool and not vaporize. Maintaining a slower breath ensures the temperature inside the chamber stays where it is set.
How Does a Dry Herb Vaporizer Work?
Two kinds of heating elements can be inside of a dry herb vaporizer, convection or conduction. Some dry herb vaporizers use a combination of the two. All three ways effectively heat flower inside the chamber of a dry herb vaporizer. They just go about it in different ways. Conduction uses direct contact to heat inside the chamber. There is typically some kind of flame with a heating plate between the flower and the flame. This combusts the flower to create a vapor cloud. Convection circulates hot air over the dry herb. This happens each time someone inhales through the mouthpiece. In this instance, the flower does not combust. Convection is generally preferred to conduction because the flower doesn’t develop any kind of burnt taste. However, conduction dry herb vaporizers are cheaper than convection ones.
What are Some of the Benefits of a Dry Herb Vaporizer?
Besides the health benefits, there are other benefits to using a dry herb vaporizer.

Fresher taste: Dry herb vapor tests at almost 96% cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavorants. So, the only taste is the delicious fresh flavor of the cannabis flower. Vape is also less likely to irritate the throat and lungs like smoke.

Weaker smell: Cannabis smoke is almost always smelled, even an hour after smoking. However, vape from a dry herb vaporizer is much more difficult to detect. The clouds are also thinner and dissipate faster than smoke.

Portable: As long as the chamber is filled with fresh flower and the battery is charged, a dry herb vaporizer can go just about anywhere. There is no need to carry a grinder, extra flower, a lighter, or anything else. All that is needed is the dry herb vaporizer.

Use Less Flower: Even though some chambers only hold 0.2 grams, consumers that use a convection dry herb vaporizer can get at least two sessions out of each filled chamber. Compare that to being only able to smoke flower once before it turns to ash.

Environmentally friendly: After using a traditional vape cartridge, or even some concentrates, some kind of material has to be thrown away. This can be the empty cart, or the used metal coil for the concentrate. After someone is done using a dry herb vaporizer, there is only biodegradable plant material to dispose of. Some people even use this already vaped bud (ABV) in cooking.
What are Some Dry Herb Vaporizer Health Risks vs. Vaping vs. Smoking?
Health risks come from what is put into the human body. Vaping, smoking, and dry herb vaping all have upsides, such as pain relief, anxiety reduction, and better sleep. But, they have unfortunate downsides as well. Knowing both sides will help make more informed decisions about cannabis and adding it to a wellness routine.

Vaping: This has been touted as a safer alternative to traditional smoking, but there are several non-cannabis ingredients that can harm lungs. These ingredients can include heavy metals from the heating coil inside the cartridge, Vitamin E acetate or other cancer-causing compounds used to suspend the THC, and flavors derived from diacetyl. Regular vaping can lead to an electronic cigarette or vaping product use-associated lung injury (EVALI). Chest X-rays of people with EVALI show signs of lung irritation by oily chemicals. This could be vitamin E acetate, but it can also be the THC oil itself.

Smoking: Analysis of the smoke produced by burning cannabis showed only 12% of the smoke was cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavorants. The rest were identified as carcinogens or toxins, such as acetaldehyde, ammonia arsenic, benzene, cadmium, chromium, formaldehyde, hydrogen cyanide, isoprene, lead, mercury, nickel, and quinoline. 111 total compounds were detected. Five by-products were found to be polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).

Dry Herb Vaping: One study analyzed the vapor using a Gas Chromatograph/ Mass Spectrometer (GC/MS) The analysis showed that the gas phase of the vapor consisted overwhelmingly (94.8%) of cannabinoids, with trace amounts of three other compounds. Two were unidentified, and the third was trans-caryophyllene, which naturally occurs in some strains of cannabis. Even though this is regarded as a safer alternative to smoking or vaping, the CDC still recommends that the healthiest thing to inhale is oxygen.
