- LAVENDER: 130 °C / 266 °F

Lavandula Angustifolia

Lavender is probably the best-known aromatic herb. It has a great taste and smell, offers calming and relaxing properties, and is also antiseptic and antibacterial. And if you're not interested in these properties, its aroma alone makes it a valuable ingredient for an herbal blend.

This plant is found worldwide and is commonly used for culinary or meditative purposes, for the relaxing fragrance of its flowers. When added to a vaping blend, lavender immediately takes the mind to a calm and serene place.

- LEMON BALM: 140 °C / 284 °F

Melissa Officinalis

As a member of the mint family, lemon balm (also known as melissa) is a perennial plant with a pungent smell, native to some regions of Asia and Europe. Lemon balm is well-known to aromatherapy lovers for its great taste/smell and calming effects. Its clear citrus aroma is invigorating but not too intense.

Lemon balm is said to have relaxing effects, making it a great option if you want to take things easy after a long day. According to testimonials, its calming effect increases when mixed with other herbs, such as hops, valerian, and chamomile.

- WILD LETTUCE: 140 °C / 284 °F

Lactuca virosa

Wild lettuce, also known as lettuce opium, has mild sedative qualities. Despite being related to the common lettuce we add to salads, it offers interesting properties. For starters, secretions from the stem can be used to make a type of latex.

As a vaping herb, wild lettuce is great for de-stressing, and many consumers feel it helps them get rid of restlessness and nervousness. It is also said to improve dream lucidity. Mixed with cannabis, it can produce a softer, more relaxing effect.

- CHAMOMILE: 190 °C / 374 °F

Matricaria Chamomilla

Chamomile grows wild in Europe and Western Asia. Generally, chamomile describes two main species of this plant (Matricaria chamomilla and Chamaemelum nobile) of the Asteraceae family. The polyphenols and terpenoids contained in its flowers are believed to be mainly responsible for its calming effects.

Chamomile has long been used for its calming properties and its floral and fruity flavour, and is a popular element in herbal infusions. When vaporised, it can offer the same relaxing effect, but with a stronger flavour. It is recommended to enjoy it in combination with other relaxing herbs, such as lemon balm or lavender.

- HOPS: 160 °C / 320 °F

Humulus Lupulus

Hops flowers, generally associated with brewing beer, are terpene-rich flowers from the hop plant. They are great for adding to a vaping blend, providing unique flavours and effects.

According to many consumers, vaping these flowers produces a mild euphoric and sedative effect, making it a good ingredient for a cannabis blend. Its flavour is earthy, spicy, sweet, and fruity, thanks to the terpenes myrcene, humulene, and caryophyllene. Some people add hops to all their blends, solely for the flavour it offers.

- GUNPOWDER GREEN TEA: 180 °C / 356 °F

Camellia Sinensis

Gunpowder green tea comes in the form of small balls of leaves, pre-rolled and prepared, which unfurl when put in boiled water to make tea. These small balls, which look like gunpowder, contain compounds that make them suitable for vaping.

Vaping gunpowder tea is said to produce a very stimulating high, due to its caffeine content. If you want a more subtle and calming experience, use a slightly lower temperature. Reportedly, this tea produces a milder high than a cup of coffee, but its effects are felt sooner.

- BLUE LOTUS: 110 °C / 230 °F

Nymphaea Caerulea

Blue lotus is a famous water lily with white/blue or blue flowers, which contains a psychoactive alkaloid called aporphine. For a long time, it has been used to induce altered states of consciousness.

Blue lotus is first documented in "The Egyptian Book of the Dead", being an important ceremonial plant in ancient Egypt. It has a mild stimulating and psychoactive effect, which is euphoric, relaxing, and dream-like. To enjoy blue lotus, you need a vaporizer that works at low temperatures of 100-120°C, and not all cannabis vaporizers have such a low temperature option.

- YERBA MATE: 150 °C / 302 °F

Ilex Paraguariensis

Yerba mate, widely consumed in the form of mate tea, is an energising plant that starts as a shrub and eventually becomes a tall tree. It produces green and white flowers and red fruits, but the dried leaves and stems are usually used to prepare mate.

Similar to green tea, yerba mate can be consumed alone, or it can be mixed to create a stimulating blend to induce a pleasant and enjoyable effect. This is mainly due to caffeine, but also to theobromine and theophylline (present in chocolate). Read more about yerba mate's botanical sibling: guayusa.

- CALEA ZACATECHICHI: 190 °C / 374 °F

Calea Ternifolia

Known as the "dream herb," Calea zacatechichi is a flowering plant native to Mexico and Central America. Traditionally used to induce and enhance lucid dreams, its effect when vaporized is described as very sedating and slightly hallucinogenic.

Calea zacatechichi can help you fall asleep and explore your dreams. This herb has a bitter taste and is recommended to be consumed in combination with other better-tasting plants, such as hops or lemon balm.

- PEPPERMINT: 160 °C / 320 °F

Mentha Piperita

Peppermint is a cross between watermint and spearmint, and grows practically all over Europe. It is distinguished by its peculiar menthol flavor and is often used to make relaxing herbal teas. It can also be a good ingredient for your vaping blend, as it is said to help relieve tension.

In aromatherapy, its menthol flavor is believed to promote a clear, focused, and refreshed mind. This is mainly due to the chemical compounds menthol and menthone, as well as terpenes such as limonene, beta-pinene, and beta-caryophyllene. Peppermint also has antiseptic properties.

- THYME: 190 °C / 374 °F

Thymus Vulgaris

The essential oil of thyme is widely used in dental and cosmetic products for its fresh and invigorating aroma and flavor. This plant is also widely used as a culinary herb. Its great flavor is said to combine well with marijuana in a vaping blend.

Thyme alone produces a subtle effect, courtesy of the terpene myrcene (an aromatic compound also present in cannabis). In fact, it is said that, when mixed with cannabis, thyme can help you save buds while enhancing their effect. You'll have to try it to see if it's true!
