What is cannabis vaping? Is it less harmful than smoking a joint? How can we maintain the many benefits of cannabis consumption without compromising on health and the full smoking experience?
We at Vape Club have briefly summarized the important points - so that you can make the right and healthy decision for you .
Health differences
However, to this day, vaping is considered much less harmful than smoking, because almost all of the harmful substances found in smoking derive from the combustion process of the substance (cannabis or tobacco).
Vaporization does not require a combustion process and does not produce smoke, thus fewer toxins are introduced into the body.
Tobacco smoke contains a high amount of carcinogenic substances, but it is likely that smoke produced by burning cannabis may also contain a smaller amount of similar substances.
Smoke is also known to contain tar – which causes health problems in chronic patients – a solution that is not suitable for those looking to use cannabis for medical reasons.
By vaping cannabis, you are at a much lower risk of medical consequences. A 2007 study found that vaping cannabis can reduce heart problems, which can develop from smoking.
Material extraction effectiveness
The active ingredients in cannabis are very sensitive.
When smoking cannabis, more than half of the substances are burned before you even take a puff from the joint.
You lose an additional 15-20% of active ingredients when the joint continues to burn between puffs.
This makes smoking cannabis very inefficient and wasteful.
In contrast, evaporation temperatures are much lower, but much more specific, and thus the active ingredients are not only preserved over time, but are used to their full potential.
As a result, the cannabis vapor will be purer and more durable – and you won't waste material.
Differences in taste
In addition to the cannabinoids that give cannabis its effectiveness, cannabis also contains aromatic substances called terpenes – which give cannabis its flavor.
These materials are very sensitive to heat, and excessively high combustion temperatures can destroy them.
On the other hand, vaporizing cannabis can help optimize the flavor extraction of each terpene. Certain terpenes have different boiling points and are therefore released into vapor at certain temperatures.
For example: beta-Cryphylline is a terpene with a pungent, peppery aroma and is released at temperatures as low as 118 degrees Celsius, and is not retained at higher temperatures.
In vaporization, controlling temperature gives you the ability to extract floral flavors to upgrade the cannabis experience on several levels that simply cannot be achieved with smoking.
Personalization
In the same way that the taste of cannabis can be influenced by setting different temperatures, so too can
Affect the strength of your "hi".
More cannabinoids are released from your material when you vaporize at higher temperatures, resulting in a stronger and faster effect.
If you want a more gentle "hi", you can set the device to lower temperatures, around 150 degrees Celsius.
For a medium effect, you can set it between 166-187 degrees Celsius.
And for the strongest effect, you can set the device to the highest temperatures, but it is not recommended to exceed the 229 degree mark, as these are temperatures that border on the combustion process, which damages the taste and effect of cannabis.
The importance of temperatures in cannabis vaporization
Scientific research in 2009 emphasized the study of the effects of evaporation at different temperatures.
In the study, three vaporization temperatures were measured: 170, 200, and 230 in order to measure the effect of these temperatures on the purity of cannabis in the vapor.
The study found that even at high temperatures, the vapor contained significantly fewer harmful toxins than smoke.
In addition, it was found that most therapeutic cannabinoids, such as CBC, vaporized at around 232 degrees.
In addition to the health benefits resulting from the research, changing the vaporization temperature makes it easier for the user and gives them the ability to control and perfectly customize their vaporization needs.
If you are interested in a milder "high" but a richer flavor, you can vaporize at lower temperatures.
If you are willing to compromise on flavor to achieve a stronger "high", you can vaporize at higher temperatures.
The "high" feeling - vaping versus smoking
In addition to being a cleaner and healthier alternative to smoking, vaping has recently become popular because of the different "high" it produces from regular smoking.And while the smoking experience is individual for each person, most people who have tried vaping cannabis will agree that vaping produces a cleaner "high" than smoking a joint.
From reviews collected among smokers, these are the most prominent differences between the effects of vaping and smoking:
"Hey" Evaporation -
- Less cognitive disability- A high percentage of people reported that it was easier for them to concentrate on tasks and stay productive after vaping than after smoking.
- Many people have found that the "high" from vaping tends to be more joyful and energetic.
"Hey" smoking -
- Smoking cannabis gives a more relaxing and sedative "high."
Cannabis Vaping vs. Smoking – The Bottom Line
On the Vape Club website you can find a variety of vaporizers for every budget, from simple to operate devices to sophisticated and powerful devices.
Consider switching to cannabis vaporization if you want a cleaner, healthier, purer, and tastier cannabis experience.
