How to Vape Weed and Get the Most Out of It?

 

 

Vaping weed isn’t the same as vaping e-liquids. Dry herbs require a different vaping device and a different inhaling technique.

If you’ve already tried vaping cannabis and didn’t get the desired experience, you’re in the right place. Here you’ll learn how to vape weed properly and get the most out of it. Let’s dive in.

Make Sure Your Weed Is Fresh and Dry Enough

This may seem a bit obvious, but it’s where many newbies make a mistake when vaping weed. If you let your weed sit for long and dry out completely, your vaping experience may not be enjoyable.

You should let it dry, but only a little. Spread it on a paper sheet and leave it overnight so that the paper absorbs any excess moisture. That way, it will have a perfect wet-to-dry ratio.

If it’s too dry, it will reach its boiling point sooner and provide you with a less-than-favorable taste – perhaps even a charred flavor.

But if it’s too wet, it won’t reach the necessary temperature for a satisfying CBD E-Liquid, and you’ll meet a high draw resistance.

That’s why it’s important to find that sweet spot.

Get a High-Quality Grinder

 

Crushing your weed with your hands doesn’t bode well for conduction, so it would lead to uneven heating. It’s also very messy.

On the other hand, using a grinder makes for a cleaner and quicker process, and it ensures even heating. It also enables you to spread your weed evenly over the entire surface area in the vape chamber so that your hits remain consistent.

Remember to grind only the amount of weed you need for a single vaping session. If you grind more, it will get bone-dry very soon, which isn’t something you’d want for an enjoyable experience.

Pack Your Vape Chamber

How you pack your vape chamber also plays a big part in your vaping experience.

If you go overboard, you’ll reduce the airflow and, consequently, puff thin vapor clouds. But if you pack the chamber too lightly, you may go overboard with the vapor, which may not provide you with an excellent overall experience.

So, make sure the chamber is full, but not packed. Don’t worry if you mess it up the first time. Vaping weed takes a bit of trial and error, but the learning curve is nearly flat. You’ll get it right in no time.

Heat Up, Wait, Draw

 

Now that you’ve got the preparations figured out, it’s time to turn up the heat and vape.

Here are the essential rules to follow.

  1. Set the Right Temperature

Setting the temperature on your temperature-controlled weed vaporizer greatly depends on your personal preferences. If you want to chase bigger clouds, you’ll need to heat up your weed at a higher temperature.

However, that would also provide a harsher “throat hit” and sacrifice a bit of the flavor.

So, two things to remember are:

  • Higher temperature = more vapor + harsh throat hit + less flavor

  • Lower temperature = less vapor + smoother throat hit + fuller flavor

A good rule of thumb is to start with a low temperature and work your way up throughout the vaping session. That way, you’ll find the perfect spot.

  1. Wait Before Inhaling

Once your vaporizer reaches the set temperature, wait about 30 seconds before you draw. That’s simply because the chamber’s heat still keeps going up, so waiting a bit will let it cool down just enough for your desired experience.

  1. Start with Short Drags

When you take a few short, gentle drags at first, you’ll get a good feel of the vapor and see if your temperature setting is just right for the flavor you want.

You can then proceed with longer drags if you want to, which would deliver more vapor.

It’s generally good to switch between short and long drags. That’s because continually drawing hard would require more power and negatively affect the flavor.

Regularly Clean Your Vaping Device

Yes, regularly cleaning your dry-herb vaporizer will also affect your vaping. And no, cleaning it only with your hands isn’t going to cut it.

“Regularly” means preferably after each vaping session. That way, every session will start clean, without any residue that would negatively affect the flavor.

You’ll need cotton swabs and isopropyl alcohol to remove any residue and thoroughly clean the chamber.

You can get them at GoSmokeFree, where you can also find a wide range of vaping devices and accessories at competitive prices.

Before using your vaporizer for the first time, make sure you thoroughly clean and sanitize the mouthpiece as well. While you can soak the mouthpiece in alcohol, never soak any of the other parts.

As you can see, vaping weed is quite simple, but it does require some trial and error at first. Nonetheless, follow all these tips, and you’ll quickly get the hang of it.
