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 Conduction or Convection (see below).
How is Vaporizing healthier than smoking?
Instead of burning the material, your product is heated at a much lower temperature. This allows you to receive all of the benefits that cannabis has to offer without the carcinogens and combustion by-products that are released during combustion (smoking). See our blog: ‘What Is A Vaporizer?’ for more information.
How do I know which Vaporizer is best for my needs?
Do you want a portable or desktop unit? Dry herb or oil vape or concentrate vape? With our vaporizer Buyer Guide, you’ll be able to find which of our vaporizers is the perfect match for you and your personal requirements.
What’s the difference between Conduction and Convection?
With conduction vaporization, your herb is placed in direct contact with the heating source. On the other hand, convection vaporization occurs when hot air passes through the herb to strip off the terpenes and cannabinoids that do the magic.
How long will my Vaporizer last?
All vaporizers have a lifetime. Batteries can only recharge so many times before they are no longer functional (especially the smaller oil pen batteries at 280/350 MaH). The atomizing coils used in concentrate vapes need to be changed out relatively often and cleaning can only extend their usefulness so far.
Accept the fact that your vaporizer(s) will need consumable parts replaced as time goes by. Keeping your gear clean and fully charged will make sure that it works with maximum effectiveness for as long as possible. On a happy note, we stock all the parts you will need to keep your vape in tip-top condition!
Does my Vaporizer come with a warranty?
The warranty period and coverage for each vaporizer, is determined by the manufacturer’s warranty policy. Most of our vaporizers come with at least a 1 Year Warranty, however, some of the higher end models include a Lifetime Warranty.
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 the balloons are being filled or air is passing through the whip.
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. The vaporizer will have an odour after use; this is why we recommend cleaning of your equipment after each session and the use of an odour-proof bag for storage.
How do I change my Vaporizer screen?
First, make sure you have the right size screens. vaporizers utilize screens of all sizes…from 1/8″ to 1″. Now changing your screens can be a little tricky. To remove, simply poke the screen out with a tool of some sort (brush, paper clip, etc.). Adding the new screen takes patience and a small tool of some sort to correctly position the new screen inside the glass wand. It usually helps to slightly bend the screen into a concave shape before trying to insert. Use your tool to push the screen into the proper position where it can lay relatively flat and hold your blends while vaporizing
Is there anything I should order as a supplement to my Vaporizer?
Soothing Vapours carries a large variety of accessories that can be used to further enhance your vaporizing experience.
Are there any attachments to make herbal Vaporizers compatible with concentrates?
Some of our vaporizers offer an attachment that will make your herbal vaporizer compatible with concentrates like wax or oil. Generally, it is best to use a vaporizer designed for a specific function…the multi-function vapes do not seem to be quite as effective with all forms of vaping.
Troubleshooting
Why am I not seeing any smoke?
There shouldn’t be any smoke when you are vaporizing. The whole idea of vaporizing is to avoid the dangerous effects of smoking. You should, however, see a light cloud of white vapour when you exhale. How much vapour you see depends on your vaporizing temperature, the ambient temperature, the strain of herb used and the freshness of the load. Higher temperatures will produce denser and hotter vapour, whereas lower temperatures will produce tastier but less visible vapour.
Why won’t my pen Vaporizer heat up? Is it locked?
Most pen vaporizers come with a lock mechanism. This is utilized so that your unit doesn’t unintentionally heat up while in your pocket or purse. To unlock/lock, simply press the button 3-5 times in rapid succession.
Will I get bigger clouds of vapour if I turn up the temperature?
Yes. Turning up the heating temperature will typically produce more noticeable and bigger clouds of vapour.
My pen Vaporizer won’t turn on. What’s wrong?
Many pen vaporizers have a 5-click lock mechanism. Simply click the button 5 times rapidly and it should turn on.
Using A Vaporizer
What is the perfect temperature for Vaporization?
It really depends on the vaporizer. However, the optimum temperature range for most vaporizers is somewhere within 180 to 195 degrees Celsius.
How long does it take for the Vaporizer to heat up?
It really depends on the vaporizer. Some vapes take 3-4 minutes to reach vaporizing temperatures, whereas some units can heat up in 10 seconds.
Do I need to grind my blends before Vaporizing?
Definitely. Grinding your blend allows for more efficient vaporization because it increases the surface area of your blends and allows hot air to pass through much more effectively.
How do I clean my Vaporizer?
You might need to disassemble some of the parts before you begin to ensure a thorough cleaning. Q-tips are great for reaching those hard-to-reach spots. Most vaporizer screens can be cleaned with a small brush or glass-cleaning solution. This allows for proper air flow and maximum efficiency.
How can I tell when my blends are finished Vaporizing?
It all depends on your preference. Some users will stop when they sense a ‘toasted popcorn’ flavour in the vapour. At this point, the residual herb will have turned lightly brown; other users will vaporize until the resid is much darker.
How do I load my wax/oil into my pen Vaporizer?
We recommend using a dabber tool or the handy ‘Mini-Measuring Spoons’ found in the product page. A dabber tool is a small metal instrument that makes the adding and removing of your wax/oil painless. It also allows the user to accurately apply the wax/oil directly onto the atomizer or into the oil cartridge.
How should I inhale while Vaporizing?
For most vaporizers, we recommend a slow and steady inhale. This will typically produce the best results.
Should I still charge the batteries if they came charged when I received them?
Yes. We always recommend that you fully charge your battery upon receiving your new vaporizer. This will ensure maximum performance and battery life.
How tightly/loosely should I pack my herbs in the heating chamber?
For most vaporizers, we recommend that you gently ‘tamp’ down your herbs to fix them in place in the heating chamber. This allows for better airflow and more efficient vaporization.
