Best Weed Pens

Best Weed Pens

Weed pen vapes or dry herb vaporizers have been around for several years. As the movement has evolved alongside the medical industry, herbal vaporizers have become more popular. 
Weed pens are popular among those who want to enjoy the benefits of cannabis but are worried about the health concerns or stigma of smoking.
They are also used as a healthier alternative to smoking herbal cigarettes, like those made with cocoa bean shells, lemongrass, or mint, by people wanting to quit nicotine.  

 Dry Herb Vaporizers

What is A Dry Herb Vaporizer?

A dry herb vape is a device that allows you to smoke dry herb, plant, or flower material without the combustible temperatures you'd require with a water pipe or cigarette. 
These weed pens have an internal rechargeable battery and a heating chamber. Most weed vaporizers come in a small form factor and are often called vape pens or portable marijuana vaporizers
Larger desktop dry herb vaporizers also exist. These larger herbal vaporizers are like electronic hookahs and can be shared in a group smoking session to consume different flavors of tobacco and herbs. The most well-known desktop vaporizer for weed is the Volcano. 
While they provide more power, they are less portable than weed pens but often allow more than one person to vape at any given time.


How do Herbal Vaporizers Work?

Rather than combusting the herb, a weed pen will bake the plant material in a chamber. 
The loose leaf or flower is placed into the heating chamber of the dry herb vape. Using convection or conduction (often both), the dry herb is heated anywhere from 200 to 450F. 
This heating releases all the flavonoids and terpenes without burning the plant. The released vapor is inhaled through a mouthpiece connected to the heating chamber

The Difference between Convection and Conduction Vapes

Think of conduction vaping as cooking with a frying pan versus convection vaping or baking with an oven.
If you throw some bacon in a hot pan, it will start to sizzle. The reason is that the heat from the pan is directly transferred to the bacon through conduction.
The same is true in a conduction vape. The herb is placed in a chamber and as the chamber is heated the heat is transferred through direct contact between the walls of the chamber to the herb.

In these devices, the heated part touches your herb and heats it to produce vapor.

Convection vape devices are more like baking in an oven or smoker.
The hot air will swirl around surrounding the item being baked and transfer heat to it that way. This principle also applies to dry herb convection vapes. The heat is generated in a separate compartment, and as it passes through the herb chamber, it heats the plant material. While many consider convection vapes superior, they do come with the drawback of being much larger and more expensive than conduction vapes. If you can hold the weed vaporizer in your hand, it is likely to be a conduction vape. This makes conduction weed vapes more popular for those wanting a discreet portable vape pen for use on the go.

Benefits of Herbal Vaporizers

The main benefit of weed vaporizers, as opposed to smoking, is to your health. Each time you smoke in the traditional way, you burn the herbs, which causes combustion to occur. This means that you are inhaling the toxic chemicals released in combustion. When using a dry herb atomizer, there is no combustion, so you don't breathe in any harmful chemicals. 

Another main benefit of herb vaporizers is that by using a lower temperature than smoking, they can release more of the flavor from the herb. When combustion occurs as in smoking, you are immolating the herb and destroying many of the active compounds. At lower temperatures, these can be released. 

Let's get all scientific for a moment. 

Plants are made up of hundreds of different compounds. These will occur in varying concentrations depending on the type of herb. They are essentially the stuff like nicotine that gives a little head rush. Or the chemicals in plants like Hyssop, a holy herb that can help cleanse and purge. 
Other plants like Korean Ginseng can restore balance in the body and reduce stress. They do this by interacting with different neutrons in your brain. So the more you get from your herb, the better right? Well, these compounds are released at varying temperatures from around 220 to 450F. Above that, the heat scorches and destroys some of these beneficial compounds in a fiery blaze. 

Session vs. On-Demand Vapes

Session vapes are the most common types of weed vaporizers. These are simple and easy to use. Just load the chamber with your herb. Power up the vape and set the temperature or voltage and the vape gets to work. It will heat up and maintain the set temperature for a session that is similar to how smoking a traditional joint works. However, there is no combustion and you just get the pure vapor. It requires minimal input from the user and is a very intuitive way to vape. 

On-demand vapes are different, these devices require the user to press a button to vape and this gives them the freedom to take a hit whenever they want. However, with dry herb vapes the oven part which the herb is in needs to be able to heat up very quickly to release the compounds from the weed and this means they are less common. There will naturally be some lag between pressing the button and inhaling as the device heats up.
The on-demand advantage is that it allows you to take a hit whenever you want rather than consuming the weed in a single session. 

How to Use a Dry Herb Vaporizer

Using a herb pen or herb vaporizer is super easy. This step-by-step guide will walk you through the process. 

1) Before using ensure the heating chamber or oven is clean. If it's the first time using a brand new device, then cycle through the heating cycles at the highest temperature setting before loading your first lot of herb. 

2) Grind your herb to a relatively fine consistency. 

3) Pack the heating chamber lightly with your herb of choice. Be sure to pack it evenly.

4) Choose the best temperature for your herb, then wait for the device to heat up.

5) Once the desired temperature has been reached, you can take gentle puffs from the mouthpiece. 

6) you can adjust the temperature to release and consume the different compounds.
