One way to get to know your vaporizer well is to simply play with the temperature setting - after all, it's nice research. But a slightly more scientific approach is to know the boiling points of the different cannabinoids and their properties. Steven Voser
Vaporizing cannabis can be a much better alternative to a joint . Vapor contains fewer harmful substances than smoke, and will give you a purer experience so you can enjoy more of the "good things" about cannabis. But the right temperature when vaping can make a difference, not only in flavor, but also in health.
Sure, smoking a good old joint is a timeless ritual, but the vaporization has many benefits . For starters, vaping is healthier than smoking. Vaporization does not burn the weed, so you are inhaling a smoke with fewer toxins.
Vaping also turns the cannabis experience into something purer. Joint smoke contains approximately only 10% of the cannabinoids ("the good stuff") in cannabis; the rest is a combination of unhealthy derived products. The steam clouds They contain up to 95% of the deliciousness of your herb, making them purer and much more potent.
But you have to know that when using a vaporizer, setting the right temperature can make all the difference!
THE IMPORTANCE OF AN ADEQUATE VAPORIZATION TEMPERATURE
Setting your vaporizer to the right temperature is important for several reasons. If you set the temperature too low, you will lose flavor and potency. The main compounds contained in cannabis and other herbs require a certain minimum temperature to "activate." If your vaporizer temperature is too low, you won't be able to get the full potential of your wonderful buds or concentrates.
On the other hand, if you set the temperature of your vaporizer too high (especially at temperatures above 230°C (446°F), some active substances in the herb such as terpenes and cannabinoids could be degraded. Not only the potency and flavor of your vaporizer will be harmed, but you will also be inhaling more toxic compounds harmful to your health.
WHAT IS THE IDEAL TEMPERATURE?
There is a range of temperatures at which different cannabis compounds are released, each with unique qualities. While only experimentation will show you which effect suits you best, the ideal temperature for extracting a wide range of psychoactive compounds is 185°C. The optimal temperature range for cannabis is between 180 and 210°C. Temperatures below 190 °C. They tend to produce a more cerebral effect, and temperatures above that tend to induce a body effect.
CANNABINOID TEMPERATURE GUIDE
The temperature range in which all cannabinoids evaporate is between 157 and 220 degrees Celsius. Since all cannabinoids have different boiling points, vaporizing the same herbal bowl or kiln at different temperatures will produce different results. In general, there are two main effects that we will call "Brain and body effect" . As mentioned above, low temperatures will have more of an effect on the head, while high temperatures will have more of a body effect.
FLAVONOID TEMPERATURE GUIDE
Along with terpenoids, flavonoids They are little known compared to the famous cannabinoids. Flavonoids are a large class of plant pigments that are sometimes called Vitamin P. Terpenoids and flavonoids are partly responsible for the appearance, flavor and the smell of a strain . They are the reason we open the zipper before buying , because its smell reveals a lot about the character of the plant.
The effects and temperatures at which flavonoids vaporize are described below.
TERPENOID TEMPERATURE GUIDE
The terpenoids They are structurally related to terpenes, and are found naturally in a wide range of plants. They contribute, in part, to what gives the plant its unique aromatic quality. Cinnamon, clove, and menthol aroma are well-known examples of terpenoids. In fact, the best known natural psychedelic compound - Salvinorin A - is a terpenoid.
The following descriptions are of the effects and boiling point of terpenoids.
WHAT HAPPENS TO TOXINS WHEN YOU VAPE?
Vaping is much cleaner than smoking, but this does not mean it is free of potentially harmful substances. The possibility of inhaling toxins still exists, although at noticeably lower concentrations. Additionally, unless you get your weed from a legal store, or grow it yourself, there may be small amounts of herbicides or pesticides present in the plant matter. Unless you've grown your own weed, how can you tell what they used to grow it?
And there is also the possibility that the material your vaporizer is made of contains something that you don't want reaching your body either.
What's important to know is that setting your vaporizer at temperatures above 200°C (392°F) means you're close to combustion temperatures. This is the point at which harmful substances are released from the plant matter or your vaporizer. That is why it is best to avoid high vaporization temperatures unless necessary.
WHAT TO DO IF YOUR CANNABIS IS TOO WET OR TOO DRY?
Unlike using a bong or smoking a joint, dried cannabis can be a delight in a vaporizer. However, being so dry, it will vaporize much faster - if it is too hot, you risk boiling off the active ingredients, which would eliminate the flavor and aroma.
Since it largely depends on the situation and the cannabis strain whichever you use, there is no definitive guide on how to vaporize dry herb well: but as a general rule you will have to reduce the temperature, lower the temperature the drier it is.
