Herbal vaporizers are all the rage. Herbal vaporizers, of course, are very different from e-cigarettes. E-cigarettes use an aerosol system, use an e-juice or e-liquid to create vapor. You plug in your cartridge with your preferred e-liquid flavor, and your electronic cigarette would create an aerosol or vapor from the solution using a heating coil. You draw the vapor into your lungs and then out comes this very beautiful human fog. It looks awesome, right? 

Herbal vaporizers do the same thing, but instead of liquids, you actually use herbal materials. But I’ll leave that to your imagination. Maybe you prefer green, nice-smelling herbal materials that contain nicotine, or you might prefer sticky and possibly even stinky green buds that contain a lot of THC. 

Whatever you’re into, herbal vaporizers should not be confused with electronic cigarettes. It’s really important to make sure that you have a clear focus when buying this type of product. You have to look for this first consideration if you’re in the market for herbal vaporizers. 

Otherwise, it’s too easy to end up with the wrong product. It’s too easy to focus on the looks. It’s too easy to focus on the portability and form factor of the product. I’m not saying that there’s nothing fundamentally wrong with these elements, but you have to remember that they are secondary in nature. 

While it’s great to have a nice-looking herbal vaporizer, at the end of the day, you have to make sure that it actually does the job that you bought it to do. That’s the bottom line, it’s all about use value, and unfortunately, a lot of people think of use value as secondary in nature. 

They’d rather look for something that has a nice brand. They’d rather buy something that people can’t seem to stop talking about. They’d rather use something that has a track record of attracting a following. While those are important factors to consider at some level or another, at the end of the day, you have to take care of your personal needs. 

At the end of the day, you’re the only person who can answer whether the products that you have bought have actually served your interests. This takes a lot of honesty. This also takes going against the grain and marching by the beat of your own drummer. You’re going to have to zero in on what makes sense to you. 

Just because other people don’t agree, doesn’t mean it’s wrong. Just because it doesn’t make any sense, as far as other people are concerned, it doesn’t mean that you have to turn your back on that particular option. You have to make your decisions based on what works for you. 

With that in mind, here is the first thing you should look for when looking at any kind of model of the herbal vaporizer. It doesn’t matter what you’re going to load into the herbal vaporizer. It doesn’t matter how heavy your anticipated usage would be. It doesn’t matter what kind of circumstances you will find yourself using the vaporizer. 

You have to look at this factor. If you turn a blind eye to this factor, don’t be surprised if you become disappointed with whatever it is you bought. Believe me, I’ve had my fair share of this problem. When I just got into the herbal vaporizing thing, I got all excited about a particular brand because everybody, from my fitness instructor to my college friends, kept hyping up a brand and a model. 

So when I found that product online, I couldn’t wait to click the buy button and I was rubbing my palms in anticipation for its delivery. So when the UPS guy came in and dropped that brown package at my apartment, I was ecstatic. I was in seventh heaven and I tore the box apart, took out the herbal vaporizer, slapped on its batteries, took out my favorite herbal medicine, fed the beast, and guess what happened? I ended up with a mess, seriously. 

Now, of course, I was drawing from that thing like it contained the cure for cancer. To me, drawing my favorite vapor from this amazing herbal vaporizer, was the best thing since sliced bread. I was happier than a pig in mud. The problem is I used it so much that I got a front-seat lesson in the lesson that I should have learned in the first place. 

In other words, I learned right then and there the number 1 thing I should have been looking for when sizing up different herbal vaporizer designs. What is this factor? Look for something that doesn’t gum up easily. I bought something that had a nice brand. 

My friends just kept recommending it, so I bought it, and then I used it so heavily that night, that it gummed up. And I was so lazy I didn’t get around to cleaning it, used it heavily again for several days straight, and guess what happened? I basically had a nasty, sticky, hard mess on my hands. 

At that point, I had to decide, do I have the time, effort, and motivation to disassemble everything and dunk the stuff that can be cleaned in a cleaning solution. Can I do that? Do I have time for that? Do I have resources for that? Or should I just buy a new unit? 

It wasn’t a very easy decision to make. It’s not like I was made out of money. Of course, if I had only kept in mind this key factor, I would have avoided this headache. I would have saved my money and I would have spent that money on something more worthwhile. 

It also helps if the product was easy to disassemble and clean. Keep this in mind, because it can save you a tremendous amount of time, effort and hassle. Please understand that just because people recommend a product, it doesn’t mean that it’s the best product for you. You have to pay attention to your specific needs and your specific usage patterns. 

Let’s get one thing clear: There are so many ways you can ingest the nicotine from tobacco or the THC from marijuana. In the case of pot, you can dab, you can use shatter, you can use a vaporizer, you can use a bong or a water pipe, you can use a straight wooden pipe, you can even use an apple core. There’s just so many ways to ingest plant compounds into your body.

You can even get stuff baked into cookies or drop essential oils onto fudge brownies. This ingestion diversity is part of what makes the whole process fun. But with all that said, what is it about vaporizing that has made it the most popular ingestion method for herbal fans in the United States and elsewhere? 

What am I talking about? Well, when you go to any outdoor concert, you really could be easily forgiven for thinking that you are looking into an early London morning fog scene. It just seems that a whole concert field packed tight with people is filled with this foggy mist.

Well, you’re not seeing London fog. You’re seeing water vapor produced en masse by happy vaporizer users. Get close enough and you can get a whiff of the exact biochemical compound of the stuff they’re vaping. A lot of it is herbal in nature. In other words, marijuana in all its glory. 

Why did vaping catch on so hard, so quick on all four corners of the globe? What is it about vaporizing besides the visual display of becoming your own personal fog machine that draws so many people to it? 

It all boils down to tar

If you were to ask smokers what they hate about smoking, I can guarantee you that a lot of their complaints can be traced to the fact that they’re burning stuff to enjoy the biochemical compound they’re trying to get from whatever plant stuff they’re smoking.

Whether you are smoking a bowl full of tobacco leaves, crushed or otherwise, or you’re smoking some good old stinky and sticky marijuana buds, it’s the same thing. You’re burning stuff. And let me tell you, burning is bad news.

Just how bad? Well, first of all, there are several hundred chemicals released by burning. A lot of these are cancer causing. A lot of these are highly toxic and irritate muscle tissue. I’m not just talking about the tissues in your skin or even in your muscles. I’m talking about the tissues in your lungs. Those sensitive tissues. 

Worse yet, when you burn any kind of plant material, you create tar. If you don’t know what tar is, go out on a highway, preferably a black top highway. If you live in the United States countryside, you can see blacktop highways as far as the eye could see. 

In fact, a lot of highways still use blacktop. Well, if you’ve seen that asphalt being laid on the road, you are looking at tar. That’s right! That is the sticky, nasty, stinky material that you are essentially painting into the sensitive, thin and vulnerable lining of your lungs. 

If you still don’t get it, take a look at Google images listings of smoker’s lungs. When you compare the healthy pink lungs of people who don’t smoke to the almost black lungs of smokers, you can see the long term impact of tar. 

Let me break it down for you: tar is bad news. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure this out. Lung cancer is one of the biggest killers of our modern time. Every single year, like clockwork, year after year, millions upon millions of people die unnecessary deaths because they chose to smoke.

Please understand I didn’t say they chose to ingest nicotine or they chose to enjoy marijuana. It’s because they chose to smoke. In other words, they chose to burn stuff and then ingest that smoke into their lungs complete with tar. 

This is why vaporizing is just going out of control. And that’s a good thing. The more people switch to vaping, the better. Sure, there have been recent reports regarding its health complications and overall safety. I’m sure you probably have heard of e-cigarettes exploding or vaporizers suffering all sorts of short circuits.

There have even been fires reported from time to time. But let me tell you, that is a very small risk to take compared to the almost guaranteed certainty that you’re going to run into some forms of health issues if you continue to ingest tar.

Even if you don’t come down with lung cancer, you still have to dodge the bullet of cardiopulmonary disease and emphysema. Not to mention hypertension and other heart issues connected with smoking. It’s bad news!

So do yourself a big favor. Switch to a vaporizer and eventually, you might want to switch to e-cigarettes. By ingesting e-liquids that don’t have nicotine, you get to enjoy everything about the smoking and vaping lifestyle with none of the health baggage. Yes! It’s possible! We definitely have the technology to pull this off.

Vaporizing is a lot of fun. It’s definitely a lot of fun to watch. But you now have a lot more choices than before. Best of all, people are now choosing to ingest water vapor instead of nasty tar containing smoke. 

Let’s get one thing clear. There are lots of products on the market that people buy on brand power alone. If you don’t believe me, when was the last time that you came across a friend or relative who bought a car just because it was a BMW, a Porsche or a Mercedes Benz? I’ll bet you that you know at least one person who buys products based on brand alone.

In fact, if you tell people that you bought yourself or someone you know a Hermes bag, I’m sure that you’ll get their attention. Hermes, after all, is a powerhouse brand in the world of luxury handbags and leather goods. That’s how powerful brands can be.

It’s easy to think that since you’re looking for ecig or e-cigarette accessories or consumables like e-liquid cartridges, that brand isn’t all that important. It’s easy to think this way because you can easily dismiss these items a; commodities. After all, when you go through one e-liquid package and moved on to the next, you’re probably just looking at the price or you’re looking at a specific flavor blend that is “close enough.”

Well, let me tell you since you are going to be shopping for something that you are going to be ingesting into your body, it’s probably a good idea to be a bit more discriminating. Despite surface appearances, e-liquid packages are actually quite different from each other. A lot of this turns on which company manufactures that product.

Believe it or not, just because you are looking through several liquid packages that have the same color, the same smell, and the same general taste, it doesn’t necessarily mean that all of these products are one and the same.

You shouldn’t develop the mindset that if you’ve seen one e-liquid product, you have pretty much seen them all. If you were to think that way, you are probably going to waste a lot of money. You have to understand that e-liquid formulations are very different from each other.

It doesn’t matter if they are supposed to be the same flavor. It doesn’t matter if they look very similar to each other. Even the viscosity or texture and flow of the liquid may look very similar or even uniform but it all goes back to a core difference. What difference am I talking about? I’m talking about the experience you get when you use this product.

You have to be very careful because some brands do an amazing job of blending the right e-liquid the right way every single time. They’ve developed a trustworthy brand because you can rely on them for consistent quality.

Unfortunately, this can’t be said across the board. There’s a reason why e-liquids have certain brands. There’s a reason why people seek out these brands.

Let me tell you, they’re not looking to pay extra for these branded products because they have nothing else better to do with their money. They’re not doing that because they’re made out of money. They’re doing that because they know that they are going to get a certain value for their hard-earned money. So should you.

If you think that e-liquids are basically just commodities and there’s really not much difference between them, you haven’t really been enjoying the vapor that you’re drawing from your electronic cigarette. That’s really the bottom line because the e-liquid formulation that you get really differs from manufacturer to manufacture.

Nobody can say that there is a one-size-fits-all or some sort of cookie-cutter choice that is good for all people. Everybody is different. All e-cigarette or ecig users have their own personal preferences. This is why it’s really important for them to seek the very best product based on their personal preferences.

If, for example, you like strawberry flavor, doesn’t it make sense to find the very best strawberry-flavored e-liquid? The only person who can find that ultimate product is you. Two people may like strawberry. They might have that shared preference.

However, when it comes down to it, they will pay attention to different factors. Some people don’t want an aftertaste. Other people like nice, strong nicotine hit when they ingest that vapor. Others are looking for that nice flavor in their mouth right before they exhale.

There are different considerations here. The bottom line is by looking at these differences or looking for these differences, you are able to identify brands that would work for you. That’s the bottom line. You want to look for brands that would produce the kind of experience you’re looking for consistently.

This is very hard to do if you’re just basically going with other people’s recommendations or you’re buying your e-liquids based on what’s hot or what made it to the bestseller list of the online store you use.

You have to make sure that it fits your lifestyle. Everybody is different. Everybody is entitled to their own specific blend and specific flavor.

Unfortunately, when you ignore this, you’re basically selling yourself short. What you’re saying to people looking to sell you ecig-related products is “Just give me what you have.” Does that make any sense?

When you go to a grocery store, do you just say to the staff there, “Just give me whatever food you have available”? Of course not! Maybe you’re looking for bread. It doesn’t mean that they’re going to serve you crusty or moldy bread. Obviously, you’re looking for the very best or at least the best that you could afford.

That should be your mindset. When picking among these different brands, please understand that you’re not just looking at a difference in a logo. You’re not just looking at a difference in the name of the company. There’s a lot going on behind those surface differences.

What’s So Different among Ecig Liquid Brands

How different can these products be? It all boils down to the formulation. Different e-liquids have different fillers and combination compounds. These are added to nicotine. You may think that they’re just adding alcohol or some other basic everyday compound.

However, there are many ways you can come up with these formulations. Even small differences in the proportions or ratios of these ingredients can have a big impact on the overall flavor of the liquid that you are going to be inhaling.

Please understand that you’re going to be putting this in your mouth. You’re going to be savoring this. You’re looking for flavor. This is part of your lifestyle.

Doesn’t it make sense for you to invest a few hours of your time to find the very best brand that will deliver the flavor profile and aftertaste component that best fits your preferences? Once you have found that brand, then it’s time well spent because you can reliably order that brand over and over again and not have to suffer an unpleasant surprise.

Unfortunately, if you think that e-liquids or ecig liquid packages are basically commodities with no difference among them, you’re going to be playing Russian roulette with your electronic cigarette. That’s really the best way I can frame it. No other description can even come close.

Just like Russian roulette, you don’t know what you’re going to get. Sometimes, you’re going to have a good experience. Sometimes it’s going to be in an unpleasant experience. If you don’t like e-liquids that pack aftertaste, that’s exactly the kind of risk that you’re running if you don’t do advanced research regarding specific brands.

Understand that Brands Have Specific Audiences

You may be thinking that if you come across a brand behind an e-liquid that you don’t like, that brand sucks. Think again. Just because it tastes nasty or is not all that pleasant, it doesn’t mean that the product doesn’t have an audience. Obviously, the company behind it is producing it to make money. The fact that this product exists means that there’s enough people out there ordering it.

So, don’t be too quick to dismiss specific brands behind certain products. What’s important is you look for a product that makes sense to you. Once you are able to find that product with that specific flavor profile, look for its brand.

Ask around and do some test buys. See if the company behind the e-liquid or ecig liquid is consistent. If all the e-liquid packages you buy from them taste the same, look the same and vaporize the same, then you’ve got yourself a steady provider. You know that this brand is trustworthy, dependable, and can withstand the test of time.

It may seem that you took a lot of time looking for this brand but, believe me, given what could go wrong and given how random the market could be, that’s time well spent. You no longer have to chase down or take a risk with other brands. As long as you know the brand that you’re going to order and the place you’re going to buy it from, you no longer have to worry about the flavor and the experience your e-liquid brings to the table.

Brands are Important. It takes quite a bit of attention to detail and time and patience to find the right one. The search process is definitely a worthwhile investment of your time and effort.

The Right Way and the Wrong Way to Read Ecig Reviews

Make no mistake if you are looking for a new ecig or you are still unsure about using electronic cigarettes, it’s very easy to get a bum steer. You can’t believe everything you read on the Internet.

There are lots of reviews that supposedly clue you in on the best electronic cigarettes. They even talk a good game about the great brands out there like Halo ecig, Volcano ecig, Blue cig, and Hoosier ecig, and many others.

They seem to know what they’re talking about. After all, they keep dropping all these brand names to establish their legitimacy and credibility. It’s too easy to trust these reviews and end up buying the wrong product. Believe me, this happens quite a bit.

The problem with a lot of reviews online, and I’m not just talking about electronics cigarette reviews here, this can apply to pretty much any kind of product you find on the web is the issue of conflict of interest.

What is a Conflict of Interest?

A conflict of interest involves people reading a piece of information online and believing that whoever wrote that material has their best interest in mind. It’s very easy to figure out what your interest is. You’re interested in making sure that you pick the right ecig brand and model for your needs.

Maybe you’ve done a lot of reading and you know full well that electronic cigarettes are much healthier for you than traditional cigarettes. After all, when you smoke a cigarette, you’re essentially using a cancer stick.

I know that people use that term as a sarcastic putdown of cigarettes, but the term really applies. It’s really accurate. How come? When you burn anything to create smoke and you inhale that smoke, you produce tar.

Whenever tar is in the picture, all bets are off as far as your health goes. Tar contains hundreds of harmful compounds. Typical cigarette smoke contains hundreds of biochemical compounds and many of these have been proven to cause cancer. Nicotine is the least of your worries.

I know that a lot of critics of ecigs like to point out that these devices are used to consume nicotine and since nicotine has been tied to cancer in some studies that this means that ecigs automatically are bad news.

Not quite. You can choose not to load liquids into your ecigs that vaporize into nicotine-containing water vapor. You can just use flavored liquids. There are nicotine-free ecig liquids on the market, believe it or not. So, that argument doesn’t hold anymore.

Still, if you are convinced that you want to stay away from the carbon monoxide and the hundreds of harmful compounds contained in smoke, you’re probably very eager to find an electronic cigarette. At the back of your head, you’re sold so you’re basically just needing a gentle push in one direction or the other.

This is the point in time where a lot of people check the Internet for online reviews. They’re thinking that since these reviews are out there and a lot of these are targeted to a specific brand, that these reviews are necessarily telling the truth.

When you look at these reviews and you scan them and then you read them again, it’s very easy to get taken. It’s very easy to be convinced that these reviews actually aim to get you the very best product for your money.

Most of the time, that’s not happening. Most of the time, these reviews are actually pushing one particular brand and model over others. It doesn’t matter whether they line up these brands together. It doesn’t matter what kind of data they throw on a page or try to convince you into believing.

At the end of the day, these reviews are not really reviews at all. They are essentially ads. They want you to buy one product and one product alone.

This is a serious problem because remember why you looked up these product reviews in the first place? Remember your needs? Remember your interest? None of that it is part of the picture as far as the review writers are concerned.

This is a classic conflict of interest. The bottom line is you are interested in maximizing the amount of value you get for every hard-earned dollar you spend on an ecig device. That’s all you’re interested in. Period.

The producers of these reviews, on the other hand, are interested only in separating you from your hard-earned money. They don’t care if the product they are promoting to you is actually the very pest for your needs. They don’t care whether you waste money. They don’t care whether this product even works as advertised.

All they care about is getting you to buy the product they are promoting because you believed in their review. You have to understand how this dynamic plays out; otherwise, you will become a victim to it again and again and again.

How to Read Ecig Reviews Without Getting Scammed

The first thing you need to do is to look at the overall presentation of the information. Are they presenting all items in an equal light? Are they giving you the impression that regardless of which product you pick, you will be making the right choice?

If you get that impression, close that tab or window and do another research on Google. You found yourself on the wrong website. Please understand that there is no such thing as equality among products.

If we’re going to be intellectually honest, there will always be advantages and disadvantages among all products. You can line these up. You can quantify these. You can make informed decisions based on these disparities.

There’s no such thing as equality among products because they’re made by different companies. These companies have different aims. These companies have different research and development budgets. These companies are operating from different business plans. In other words, there are a lot of differences out there and these differences should be reflected in the overall quality as well as the feature sets of their products.

Unfortunately, if you don’t get this impression, this means that the person who wrote the review doesn’t really care about nuances. They don’t really care about going into the nitty-gritty of the features of these electronic cigarettes. They definitely don’t care about whether one particular design has an impact on the life of ecig batteries. They don’t explore the impact of different brands and models as far as ecig juice usage and ecig tanks’ durability go. These are not even part of the conversation or even part of the consideration you’re supposed to process.

Instead, they want you to look past the importance of electronic cigarette’s oils as well as the intrinsic value of the ecig pipe involved in the product. In many cases, they just want you to focus on one thing and one thing alone. I am, of course, talking about the price.

Price is a Lousy Indicator of Quality

What if I told you that something that’s very expensive doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s a luxury item or that it’s a particularly good item? This flies in the face of a lot of conventional wisdom because the thinking is if a company is going to put out a product that it’s trying to charge a premium for, there’s going to be a good reason for why this product costs so much more than competing products.

It may well turn out that a product that is mass-produced and can look cheap actually delivers a far more solid value when it comes to your electronic cigarette needs. This is why it’s really important to focus on the right features. You also have to focus on what your actual needs are.

Begin and End with What’s Important for You

If you’re not asking yourself, “What’s in it for me?” you are just preparing yourself to get ripped off many times over. That’s the bottom line. I know it sounds harsh and I know it sounds uncharitable, but it’s also true. You’re leaving yourself vulnerable to all sorts of scams, misrepresentations, and bait-and-switch games.

If you are a responsible consumer and you truly value the amount of time, effort, and sacrifice you went through to earn your money, you would be more vigilant. You would not have any time for such sales shenanigans.

This is why you should always come back to one central question that will shine a light on the information that you will find on the Internet and help you make the right decision again and again.

What question should you always kick around in your head? “What’s in it for me?” When you ask this question, you remind yourself that your interests are the most important. You’re not interested in what other people are saying. You’re not interested whether this brand and model has a long track record of being highly acclaimed and respected in the industry.

While these are all important, at the end of the day, they only interest that matters is yours. You’re the one who worked for your money. You’re the one who’s going to be using this device. You’re the one who’s going to have to live with the consequences of your decisions. It’s high time that you give this question all the respect and importance it deserves.

Sadly, a lot of customers read online reviews of electronic cigarettes and they sidetracked by awards, how many bloggers prefer a particular product. They get taken in by all the “social proof.” Before you know it, they buy into a fantasy. That’s really what it boils down to.

A lot of brands out there are hyped up. I know this is not the kind of thing somebody should be saying, especially if they’re trying to sell something to you, but this is also the absolute truth.

Let’s take a look at the world of automotive products. There are a lot of cars out there that are very well made. In terms of experience, in terms of overall quality, durability, and service performance, these cars are indistinguishable from Mercedes Benz or BMW automobiles.

Unfortunately, they cost way less than these well-recognized brands. Do you see the difference? The reason BMW and Mercedes, as well as Porsche, can charge a lot more money for essentially the same product experience is because of social proof.

When you ask yourself, “What’s in it for me?” you go beyond social proof. You focus on one crucial thing: How to get the most value without paying any money. In other words, you’re looking to invest as little as possible into our purchase while walking away with the most value.

You may be thinking that this is too much to expect or it’s too good to be true. If you know what to look for and you know how to do proper online research for products like electronic cigarettes, you will come to this spot again and again.

It doesn’t matter what platform you check. Maybe you check EcigExpress. Perhaps you have gone shopping at Ecig Avenue or even spent some time at the Ecig Crib. Regardless of where you go, if you know what to look for and you’re intent on maximizing the value you want for yourself, you will never go wrong.

The Bottom Line about Reading Ecig Reviews

The bottom line is simple. If you have the right questions, then you will be able to filter the different answers online promoters and online publishers will throw your way. Believe me, they will throw a lot of content your way.

After all, on the Internet, over two million pieces of new content are published every day. That’s information overload. Sure, most of these are not ecig-related, but even if you segment the tiny portion that is related to ecigs and you project that over the course of a whole month, you’re still left with a significant amount of content.

It’s information overload and, unfortunately, if you don’t know what to look for in terms of electronic cigarettes and everything related to them, it’s too easy to find the wrong product, buy it, and regret your decision.

If you truly want to maximize the value of the money you worked so hard for when buying electronic cigarettes, follow the tips above. At the very least, always ask yourself, “What’s in it for me?” In the context of online product reviews, change this question to “How do I get the most value while spending the least amount of money possible?”

Guided by these questions, you will never end up with the wrong product. You will never end up with an electronic cigarette or a vape pen that you use only once or twice a month. Instead, you will end up with something that you can use over and over again with full confidence. You will get maximum enjoyment and relaxation each and every time you use it.

The choice, of course, is yours. Choose wisely.

If you are on the market for a vaporizer so you can smoke some fine-grade Marijuana. You have your work cut out for you. While you’re definitely on the right path because you’re choosing not to burn the weed when smoking it, vaping is a little bit more complicated than a lot of people expect.

Make no mistake. Buying a weed vape pen is no joke. There are all sorts of vape pen products out there. There are too many weed vape device models on the market. Please understand that this is going to be the pattern for quite some time as recreational marijuana gets legalized on the state level in the United States.

Almost every time there’s an election, it’s only a matter of time before America turns green. I’m talking about turning green as the Marijuana plant. Canada has fully legalized weed and it’s only a matter of time before the rest of the world catches up.

It turns out that Marijuana is not the devil’s lawn clippings as many authorities have historically led us to believe. Now, given the change in market dynamics, it’s no surprise that there are too many weed vape device models in the market. In fact, there are too many to choose from.

It’s very easy to get confused. It’s very easy to think that if you’ve seen one vaporizer, that you’ve pretty much seen all weed vaporizers and that they’re all a dime a dozen. Well, that’s the wrong mindset. It’s very easy to get burned or ripped off by one device after another because you have the wrong selection criteria in mind.

Finding the best vaporizer for weed takes work and time. The good news is it’s a worthy investment. If you want to truly unlock all the herbal goodness of high-grade Marijuana strains, you have to have the right vaping device.

The great thing about vaporizing is that it heats up whatever herbal feedstock you put into it. Maybe you’re using Kratom, Tobacco, or Marijuana. Whatever the case may be, the device heats it to just below the point before low burning so it unlocks all the herbal goodness that Mother Nature has packed into that plant without producing tar.

This is a big deal. When you burn something, not only do you line the inner sensitive parts of your lungs with the same stuff that construction companies lay down on the road when making asphalt streets, the burning process also unleashes a tremendous number of gases.

In fact, when you smoke a traditional cigarette, you are ingesting over 100 different gases. Some of these are not studies all that well and who know what their long-term health effects are. You sidestep all of that when you’re using a vaporizer.

This is why it’s really important to find the best vaporizer for weed. It’s not as easy as you think. Here are some key rules of thumb to keep in mind.

The right weed pen is easy to hide

You don’t want to smoke out in public. Sure, it may be legal in your jurisdiction, but you still have to do it discreetly. You don’t really know whether your boss is watching or your girlfriend’s father is in the crowd. A little bit of discretion goes a long way.

You need to make sure that the weed pen that you have your eye on is very easy to hide. Now, just because it’s small doesn’t mean that it’s easy to hide. Pay attention to its construction. Is it very shiny? When you use it, can people a few feet away tell that you are actually vaping?

The best vaporizers for weed heat up very quickly

Nobody has all the time in the world to vape. Generally speaking, people are looking for a quick in-and-out solution. Maybe you’re taking a break from studying in college so you want to lighten the load a little bit and enjoy some pot. No problem there. The challenge is doing it quickly so you can mellow out and then get back to studying or writing your paper.

The best vaporizers heat up your weed in almost no time. This way, you can draw quickly, get over it, and then mellow up enough for you to get on with the rest of your project.

Most weed pipes for sale can’t do the job of a vaporizer

It’s very easy to think that a weed pipe is the same as a vaporizer except for the smoke. It’s very easy to just compartmentalize the decision process that way. If you fall into this rabbit hole, you’re basically saying that these two devices are functionally equivalent.

Now, we all know that this is not the case. If you really want to protect your health and also avoid some of the negative effects of smoking Marijuana, go for a vaporizer. They’re not one and the same as weed pipes.

The best weed vaporizer is easy to take apart and clean

This is a deal-killer for a lot of people. Let’s face it. When you’re high, you’re not really motivated to do much of anything. If you want people to slow down and take it easy, hand them some weed. It pretty much works all the time.

It is no surprise that a lot of vaporizers that are very complicated and have tough-to-disassemble designs get dirty and sooner or later are no longer used. In other words, you have to go out there and get a new vaporizer. This can get quite expensive.

The best weed vaporizer is designed with motivation in mind. This means that they take all the guess work out of disassembly so that these devices are easy to take apart and clean.

Finally, the right portable weed vaporizer for you is something you’d want to use all the time

It has to be small and portable enough and let’s face it, it has to be fun enough so you can use it every single time. Why is this a big deal? Why is repeat usage such a big consideration? Well, the more you use something, the more you get your money’s worth.

Sure, something might cost $10, but if you use it only twice, you paid exactly $5 for each use. It turns out that that item, whatever it is, is actually quite expensive to buy. Now, if something costs $1000, but you get to use it a million times, then that’s the probably the best purchase you ever made. I hope you get the point.
