How Herb Vaporizers Works

Hebal Vaporizer Basics
-
Herbal vaporizers are used to create a vapor that you can inhale herbs. An herbal vaporizer operates on the same principle as other vaporizers. Most vaporizers use the principle of convection to create heat. This is a process where heat is transferred from one originating source to another substance. In the case of an herbal vaporizer, this second substance is the herbs. Basically the air is pulled in and heated and transferred to the herbs that will then heat and begin to vaporize.
Another type of vaporizer is a steam vaporizer where water is heated to create the vapor with the herbal extract. You will choose a vaporizer based on the type of herbs substance you are using.
Use of Herbs
-
Dried herbs will only work in a convection vaporizer. These vaporizers have actually become quite popular for those who want an alternative to smoking cigarettes or medicinal marijuana. You can get the desired nicotine or THC from the herbs without the carcinogens of the smoke. This is not FDA approved.
The other way to use herbs is in a steam vaporizer where you place the liquid extract in the water or in a compartment sitting above the water that heats this with the water turning it into vapor to be inhaled. -
