FAQ – Vaporizer
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.
Since vaporization does not involve combustion, significantly fewer harmful substances are produced. Many users therefore perceive vaporizers as a gentler alternative to traditional smoking.
"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.
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 .
For dried hemp flowers, so-called "Dry Herb Vaporizers" with precise temperature control are recommended – such as the PAX, Venty or Wolkenkraft.
Pay attention to the following criteria:
– Application (herbs, resins, oils?)
– Mobility (portable or desktop device?)
– Temperature control
– Battery life
– Quality of the heating system
