How To Vape Cannabis Flower And Concentrates

How to use a cannabis vaporizer

Although there are two different methods when it comes to vaping your THC, you can use different devices such as a concentrate vaporizer, portable vaporizer, and a tabletop vaporizer. We provide a brief overview on how to use each one of these devices along with important factors to consider.

How To Use A Concentrate Vape Pen

A concentrate vape pen allows you to vaporize Cannabis concentrates such as oil, wax, and hash. These pens are very easy to use and can provide a great vaping experience. Here is a quick breakdown on how to use a concentrate vape pen:

  • Start by removing the mouthpiece from the chamber of your pen. This will expose the heating element.
  • Use a dab tool or your fingers to place your concentrate onto the heating element. Make sure not to overfill the chamber, as this can impede airflow and cause your pen to overheat.
  • Replace the mouthpiece and screw on the atomizer cap. This will help to keep the heat in and prevent your concentrate from leaking out.
  • Press the button on your pen to heat up the element. The button will usually have a light that will turn on when it is pressed, indicating that the element is heating up.
  • Inhale from the mouthpiece of your pen slowly and steadily. You may want to take a couple of puffs at first to get a feel for the vapor before taking a longer drag.
  • Hold the vapor in your lungs for a few couple of seconds before exhaling. This will help to maximize the absorption of THC and CBD.
  • Repeat as necessary until you reach your desired effect.

Keep in mind that concentrates are very potent so usually 1 hit or 2 will do the trick, unless you have a high tolerance to THC. 

How To Use A Portable Vaporizer

Portable vaporizers are a great way to enjoy weed on the go. They’re small enough to fit in your pocket and can provide a great vaping experience. Although they’re normally very simple to use, we went ahead and created step-by-step instructions to help you out:

  • Start by removing the mouthpiece from the chamber of your vaporizer. This will expose the heating element.
  • Use a grinder to grind up your weed. Make sure not to grind it too finely, as this can impede airflow and cause your vaporizer to overheat.
  • Pack the chamber of your vaporizer with the ground weed. Make sure not to pack it too tightly, as this can impede airflow and cause your vaporizer to overheat.
  • Replace the mouthpiece and screw on the atomizer cap. This will help to keep the heat in and prevent your weed from leaking out.
  • Press the button on your vaporizer to heat up the element. The button will usually have a light that will turn on when it is pressed, indicating that the element is heating up.
  • Inhale from the mouthpiece of your vaporizer slowly and steadily. You may want to take a few smaller puffs at first to get a feel for the vapor before taking a longer drag.
  • Hold the vapor in your lungs for a few seconds before exhaling. This will help to maximize the absorption of THC and CBD.
  • Repeat as necessary until you reach your desired effect.

That’s all there is to it! Portable vaporizers are a great way to enjoy weed on the go. Make sure to follow these steps for the best vaping experience.

How To Use A Tabletop Vaporizer

Tabletop vaporizers are a great way to enjoy weed at home. They’re easy to use and can provide a great vaping experience. Here’s a quick tutorial on how to use a tabletop vaporizer:

  • Start by removing the mouthpiece from the chamber of your vaporizer. This will expose the heating element.
  • Use a grinder to grind up your weed. Make sure not to grind it too finely, as this can impede airflow and cause your vaporizer to overheat.
  • Pack the chamber of your vaporizer with the ground weed. Make sure not to pack it too tightly, as this can impede airflow and cause your vaporizer to overheat.
  • Press the button on your vaporizer to heat up the element. The button will usually have a light that will turn on when it is pressed, indicating that the element is heating up.
  • Inhale from the mouthpiece of your vaporizer slowly and steadily. You may want to take a few smaller puffs at first to get a feel for the vapor before taking a longer drag.
  • Hold the vapor in your lungs for a few seconds before exhaling. This will help to maximize the absorption of THC and CBD.
  • Repeat as necessary until you reach your desired effect.

The only real requirement for tabletop vaporizers is a flat surface, but unlike a portable device, you won’t have to worry about changing a battery. Also, it has a stronger performance and is a more reliable way of getting high.

How To Clean A Vaporizer

Cleaning your vaporizer is important for two reasons. First, it will help to keep your vaporizer working properly. Second, it will help to prevent the buildup of harmful chemicals. Here are some quick tips on how to clean your vaporizer :

  • Start by disassembling your vaporizer. This will generally involve removing the mouthpiece, chamber, and atomizer cap.
  • Use a cotton swab or toothpick to clean out the chamber of your vaporizer. Be sure to remove any residue that may have built up on the sides of the chamber.
  • Soak the mouthpiece and atomizer cap in a bowl of warm water. This will help to remove any residue that may have built up on these parts.
  • Use a cotton swab or toothpick to clean the heating element of your vaporizer. Be sure to remove any residue that may have built up on the coils of the element.
  • Reassemble your vaporizer and screw on the atomizer cap.

You should be cleaning your vaporizer at least once a month or once a week, depending on how often you use it.

Cannabis Vaporizers for Sale

Although dry herb vaporizers are great, the most popular form of vaporizers for cannabis are disposable devices and 510 thread batteries. These allow you to vape your THC and not have to deal with the flower or purchasing additional accessories in order to enjoy it.

Disposable Cannabis Devices

A disposable cannabis device is meant to be vaped until the THC distillate has run out. This means that they are not refillable, but some allow you to charge them up if they’ve run out of power. If you vape the device frequently you may not have to worry about the device dying; However, if you’re a person who likes to make it last, you may need to recharge it once it stops hitting. 

In order to charge your disposable device you will need a Micro-USB charging cable which normally doesn’t come included. The biggest benefit to a disposable cannabis device is the fact that they come preset and prefilled, so all you need to do is take a puff and enjoy.

510 Battery Devices

A 510 battery device is usually shaped like a pen, is small, and fitted to vape THC concentrates. Although a 510 thread will fit any THC distillate cartridge, you’re also able to vape CBD with this type of device. The 510 in the name of this type of device means 10 threads at 5mm. This refers to the connection between the device and the distillate cartridge.

As long as the concentrate can fit into a 510 thread you’re able to enjoy any type of THC distillate. We have some Alien Lab devices at our dispensary in Palm Springs that are great, discreet, and durable. Also, our THC cartridge line up includes brands like Alien Labs, Big Chief, Connected, and more.
