A quick analysis of Vaporizers

Although Vaporizers are available in all different shapes, sizes and price points, most devices can be consolidated according to methodology and style. Here is an overview of the types:

Vape Pens:

Vape pens, also known as ‘hash oil’ pens, is a kind of vaporizer that has become incredibly popular in the busy adult cannabis market. 

A standard vape pen consists of a pen-shaped battery and cartridge containing cannabis distillates or oils and an atomizer, the heating element that is activated when contact is made with the vape pen battery.

Cannabis oil or distillate is in the cartridge chamber. When the cannabis distillate process takes place, all taste and aroma are removed from the oil. It can be left in this crude form, mixed with terpenes for extra taste, or mixed with a type of glycol cutting agents, such as vegetable glycerin (VG) or propylene glycol (PG), to give the vapor extra mouthfeel.

Stationary Vaporizers:

Stationary Vaporizers are ideal for use at home, intended to sit on top of a flat surface during use. Although there are many variants of the tabletop on the market, most options include a temperature button, heating element, flower and / or concentrate chamber and a nozzle attachment.

Portable Vaporizers:

Portable vaporizers that sweet spot of convenience, portability, compatibility with your own cannabis flower or concentrate. Most portable vaporizers work the same way as stationary devices, but are smaller and, of course, easier to transport.

Standard portable vaporizers consist of a room for the concentrate, heating element and a battery. Most devices have temperature control in the form of a knob. This is used to activate the battery, heat the room and evaporate or concentrate the flower. From there, the vapors are sent to the consumer through a mouthpiece. It does not always have to be a decision between flour or concentrate vapor. There are also hybrid devices that can be adapted to be compatible with both.

Portable vaporizers are usually used to consume cannabis concentrates in its many forms such as WAX, badder, budder, and shatter. 

E-nail vaporizers: 

Most traditional stationary vaporizers are designed for use with flowers, but electric nail (e-nail) dab rigs, specially designed to work with cannabis concentrates, can also be considered as table vaporizers. Instead of using a flash flame to manually heat up a swab for concentrate consumption, e-nails are electronically heated, giving users complete control over the temperature and size of the swabs.

These vaporizers are usually equipped with powerful batteries and use, just like traditional dab rigs, nails made of ceramic, quartz or titanium. Still newcomers to the vape market, e-nail vaporizers have become a great alternative for cannabis concentrate consumers.
