FAQ – Vaporizer
What is a vaporizer and how does it work?
A vaporizer gently heats herbs, resins, or oils without burning them. This produces a vapor that releases the active ingredients – completely without smoke or ash. Ideal for a flavorful and clean inhalation experience.
Is a vaporizer healthier than smoking?
Since vaporization does not involve combustion, significantly fewer harmful substances are produced. Many users therefore perceive vaporizers as a gentler alternative to traditional smoking.
What is the difference between a vape and a vaporizer?
"Vape" usually refers to e-cigarettes with liquids. A vaporizer, on the other hand, is primarily intended for dried herbs, hemp flowers, or extracts – especially in the herbal and cannabis scene.
Which herbs or flowers can be used in a vaporizer?
Besides hemp flowers, you can also vaporize other herbs such as chamomile, lavender, damiana, or sage. Always make sure to use dry, natural herbs. Learn more in the Viweedy herb blog .
Which vaporizer is best for cannabis flowers?
For dried hemp flowers, so-called "Dry Herb Vaporizers" with precise temperature control are recommended – such as the PAX, Venty or Wolkenkraft.
How do I find the best vaporizer for me?
Pay attention to the following criteria:
– Application (herbs, resins, oils?)
– Mobility (portable or desktop device?)
– Temperature control
– Battery life
– Quality of the heating system
Are vaporizers legal in Switzerland?
