Weed vapesare designed to vaporize medical marijuana, converting the terpenes and cannabinoids from the cannabis plant into a breathable form of inhalation. They are very popular among consumers who want to get high discreetly and have more control over the effects they feel. These weed vaporizers are usually small, portable and battery-operated with an adjustable heat setting to produce different effects from mellow and relaxing to more energizing and euphoric.

Most weed vapes use a conduction method of heating which involves placing dry herb or dabs in the chamber of the device and the heated element comes in direct contact with it, vaporizing it to be inhaled. Some vaporizers like the Pax also have hybrid options for both dry herb and concentrate vaping. Other weed vaporizers such as the Volcano Vaporizator are convection-based, meaning that they use an air flow to heat the material and the heated element never comes into direct contact with it. This makes it a safer alternative to smoking and reduces the risk of burning the materials.

Many weed vaporizers produce little to no odor at all, especially when used at lower temperatures. This is ideal for those who want to fly under the radar, such as ultramarathon runners who have been known to use weed before or during races to help them mentally and physically prepare themselves. They also require less maintenance and don’t produce smoke, which may be important for people with asthma or other respiratory conditions.
