What is a vaporizer?

Add to favourites

A vaporizer is a device, either electric or portable, that extracts the active compounds from dried herbs, so that they can be inhaled directly or stored in a "balloon". The resultant vapor looks a bit like smoke, but doesn't contain tar or noxious, toxic gasses. It's simply the active ingredients forming a 'cloud' of potent vapor. When all the active ingredients have been extracted from the herb, you're not left with ashes, but dried up, odorless and colorless crumbs. Vaporizing is a clean, tasty and healthy alternative to smoking.

There are two main types of vaporizers. In one type the herb is placed on a small metal plate that is heated (conduction), and in the other type a flow of very hot air is directed through the herb (convection). Nowadays most vaporizers are of the second type, because in the former, the herb might still get scorched, producing smoke rather than vapor.

One of the most durable and easy to use vaporizers is the Volcano. But there are also a couple of cheaper models, such as the Arizer and various glass models, that are worth trying out.

See the vaporizer page for an overview of our various models.
