Dry Herb Vaping vs Concentrate Vaping
1. Dry Herb Vaping
Using a dry herb vape, you can easily vape high-quality CBD or cannabis. Unlike weed vapes that require oils, these devices focus on heating dry flowers or herbs.
2. Concentrate Vaping
If you prefer vaping concentrates, you might want to explore tools like weed pens, wax pens, and electric dab rigs. Concentrate vaporizers, including concentrate vaporizers, offer a more efficient and odourless experience.
What You'll Need to Vape Weed
To get started with vaping, you'll need:
- Cannabis Flower or CBD: You can easily access high-quality CBD flowers and hash in the UK.
- Vaporizer: Choose between portable vaporizers or vape pens.
- Grinder: For perfect consistency, choose a high-quality grinder.
- Accessories: Cleaning tools and accessories to keep your vaporizer in tip-top shape.
Vape Pen Options
When it comes to vape pen options, you'll want to explore vape pens and CBD cartridges & pods. The right vape pen for you depends on your specific needs and preferences.
How to Use and Pack a Dry Herb Vaporizer
Follow these steps:
- Charge Your Device: Ensure it's fully charged or plugged in.
- Grind the Herb: A fine to medium grind is recommended.
- Place the Herb: Into your vaporizer's chamber.
- Pack the Herb: Not too tight, as airflow needs to pass through.
- Select the Temperature: Turn on the device and pick your desired temperature.
How to Inhale Weed from a Vape
Vapor feels different in your lungs than smoke; getting used to it can take some time.
- Wait: Give your vape time to reach the temperature.
- Prime: Take gentle puffs to prime the vaporizer.
- Inhale: Draw on the mouthpiece to fill your lungs, then exhale.
How to Clean and Maintain Your Vaporizer
Cleaning is essential for a well-performing vaporizer. Here's what you need to know about cleaning:
- Cleaning Products: Use quality cleaning products for vaporizers.
- Regular Maintenance: Follow the cleaning instructions for your specific device and consider replacing vaporizer parts as needed.
How Often Should You Clean Your Vape?
The frequency of cleaning depends on how often you use the vape:- Occasional Use (1-2 times a week): Regular weekly cleanings may not be necessary.
- Frequent Use (Daily or multiple times a day): Weekly cleanings or cleaning "every few uses", as brands like Pax suggest, is advisable.
Step-by-Step Cleaning Process:
1. Disassemble Your Vape:
- Refer to your vape manual for proper disassembly to avoid any damage.
- Wipe any spilt concentrate or visible residues with a paper towel before further cleaning.
2. Get to Cleaning:
- Remove visible debris, like used-up bud or excess oil.
- Soak small parts in plain water, water with dish soap, or diluted rubbing alcohol (follow your manual's recommendations).
- Use a cotton swab or small brush (often included with dry herb vapes) to scrub and wipe away gunk.
- A water and lemon juice solution can be used as an alternative to rubbing alcohol if needed.
3. Rinse Everything:
- Rinse all cleaned parts to ensure no cleaning solution residues remain.
- This step is vital if you've used solutions other than plain water.
4. Dry Everything and Reassemble:
- Use a paper towel to dry all parts, ensuring no metal gets rusty.
- Confirm everything is completely dry before reassembling to avoid potential damage.
5. Take a Hit:
- Power up your freshly cleaned vape and enjoy clean, satisfying hits.
Additional Tips:
- Maintain Regular Cleaning: Consistent cleaning can prevent build-up that might become harder to remove later.
- Use Appropriate Cleaning Solutions: Always follow your manual's recommendations to avoid damaging your vape.
- Inspect Regularly: Periodically check your vape for any signs of wear and tear, leaks, or other issues requiring attention.
