Let's take a look at some of the best vaporizers for dry herb and why they stand out. 

Dry Flower Vapes Vs. Concentrate Vapes

There are two primary types of vape pens: vaporizers that use cannabis concentrates and vaporizers that use loose-leaf cannabis (dry flower). There are also a variety of vapes that allow for the use of both concentrates and dry flower, although they tend to cost a little more. A concentrate is exactly what it sounds like: concentrated parts of a cannabis plant, usually high in THC. However, unless you're using full-spectrum concentrates, these pens often don't provide the same entourage effect as dried flower. Since concentrates usually don't possess every piece of the cannabis plant like flower does, there are aspects of the smoking experience that will be different -- and as some will argue, less complete. 

How Dry Flower Vaporizers Work

A dry marijuana vaporizer allows for bud to be smoked without the same harshness as a traditional pipe or bong while still providing the same full-spectrum experience. On top of that, a dry flower vape makes it a lot easy to smoke any strain you want out of a vaporizer. Not all strains are easy to find as quality concentrates. To use a dry herb vape, first place your plant material into the main chamber. Once placed inside the chamber, you'll press a button that heats the dry herb and turns it into a smokable vapor. Vape pens either use conduction (direct contact with heat via an open flame heating plate) or convection (use of liquid or gas to produce intensely hot air). We suggest using a convection vape, if possible since it will evenly disperse and not overheat a certain part of your flower. Dry flower vapes have several key parts:

1. A heating chamber (this is where you'll put your cannabis)
2. A battery (or electric/butane heating source)
3. A mouthpiece (where you'll smoke out of)
4. A filter (found between the chamber and the mouthpiece)
5. A temperature gauge
6. A charging port

For the best dry herb vape experience, we suggest grinding your bud beforehand (although this isn't completely necessary), redistribute your cannabis in the chamber throughout your smoking session, and experiment with different temperatures until you find what works best for you. The best dry herb vaporizer pen options will give you control over the temperature. Take time to learn your vape so you get the best smoking experience possible.
