how safe are weed vapes compared to like regular vapes? I've recently heard vapes are like horrible for you cus you're just smoking a shit ton of chemicals but does that depends on what's being smoked?....since you said the weed is just being heated up is there less chemical intake overall or just less combustion byproduct like you said before (sorry if this makes like no sense I'm not familiar with this stuff at all or how it works lol but I also had a really bad experience with edibles and have bad lungs so I just wanted to know a bit more)

Hey sorry for responding so late I had gotten most of this post done after you first sent it but I ran out of energy and got too perfectionistic. Anyways here it is:

Excellent question! The first formal modern e-liquid vape was only released in 2003, though various attempts had been made earlier, which means we are still researching the long-term effects they have on health. When the average person says "vape", they almost exclusively mean "e-liquid vape".

Currently, what we can see about e-liquid vapes: They're not very good. They do reduce some smoking risks (no tar) but introduce other risks, and have a reputation of being safer and a potential smoking cessation aid while a reality of unregulated and poorly sourced ingredients which can cause acute and lasting lung damage.

Dry herb vaping, which is what I recommend, is much more straightforward, but only recently popularized and thus still needing more research.

At the risk of being a square: Any time you intentionally inhale something other than air, you're introducing more risk than if you simply never smoked or vaped anything. But like don't let that stop you, we take on risk all the time, that's what harm reduction's all about babey

Dry Vapes are Not Vapes

A vape or e-cigarette is a device that heats and vaporizes a liquid carrier with a suspension of the psychoactive chemical, either nicotine or THC. These are what people think of when they think of vapes, and these are generally the most problematic for having untested and unregulated chemicals while being touted as healthier.

A dry vape/dry herb vaporizer is the method I recommend, which heats the plant material (or concentrate like wax--I haven't done this myself personally) and evaporates the cannabinoids and terpenes without combustion. It's basically like baking your weed in a tiny oven.

This method was popularized most recently in 1993 with Eagle Bill's Shake and Vape, though apparently the principle of boiling vapor has existed since ancient times.

General Smoking Health Risks

Tobacco and weed both produce "tar" when burned--a catch-all for a variety of chemicals, many of which are carcinogenic, produced during combustion. The tar isn't made from the THC or the nicotine, but from the plant matter itself and its additives. If you burn plant matter and inhale the smoke, you inhale a certain number of toxic and carcinogenic chemicals.

There is some conflict on if smoking weed causes cancer. It certainly doesn't carry the same correlation as tobacco, but the reasons are unknown. We don't have long-term studies verifying a connection between the two. Very preliminary lab tests suggest that THC and CBD have antitumor effects, but it'll be a while before we can figure out the deal. There is still risk!!!

Regardless, the deposition of tar in lungs is an irritant and increases risks of things like bronchitis. For someone with asthma or weak lungs, smoking of any kind causes problems.

E-Cigarettes, or e-liquid vapes

E-cigarettes were manufactured to counter tobacco cigs starting in 2003. An e-cig heats a liquid with a suspension of nicotine, atomizing it into droplets of vapor that are then inhaled.

The liquid is usually propylene glycol or glycerol with other additives like flavorants. It seems like propylene glycol and glycerol have been safe for ingestion as a food additive, but being atomized in an inhaled form is pretty new and the effects aren't well-known.

The major issue is that we don't have a standardized and proven-effective vape juice formula. E-liquid is poorly regulated and many samples contain entirely unidentified substances.

This is the major cause for concern.

THC vape liquids have similar issues, including being cut with Vitamin E acetate, which was correlated with a string of vaping-related lung disease, though not fully confirmed to be the culprit.

Hopefully this delineates why vaping, as in e-liquid vaping, is problematic, and why dry vape is comparatively safer.

Why dry herb vape?

The boiling of the material introduces fewer (but not 0) unknown or undesired chemicals into the airstream. You're primarily getting the cannabinoids.

On a user experience level: It's quite weed-efficient, the weed tastes better w/o the smoke, it produces less smell, the vapor is less harsh on the lungs (you can and will still cough if you inhale too much tho), not much less portable than a joint

You can get a bong adapter and get megahigh still (I do have a bong but I don't like getting that fucked up)

Some vapes can heat concentrates, wax, etc. for potent highs (I haven't done this. But you can. Research yourself)

The already vaped bud (AVB) can be saved and reused for edibles, extracts, and concentrates; it's gonna be stripped of a lot of the psychoactives already, but not all of them--obvs be mindful of dosing here

Downsides: You do have to recharge battery vapes and get over the learning curve of batteryless (I'm pretty shit at using mine). You also have to clean your equipment every once in a while which is nbd for me who likes cleaning but yknow it does require upkeep. Easier than cleaning a bong tho

So, could you dry vape tobacco?

You can, but you probably shouldn't. Nicotine itself is highly physically and psychologically addictive and classified as toxic, and while it isn't considered carcinogenic, it is potentially a tumor promoter.

Pretty much everyone I know who's on nic tells me they don't like it, they wish they could quit, and they would never want me or anyone else to start.

Last, some Dry Herb Vaporizer Tips

Controlling the temperature allows you to control which cannabinoids are released to a certain extent.

Hot vapor can still irritate your lungs. Keeping a relatively low temperature (Guides indicate the best range) and having a long enough vapor path that the vapor can cool will help you have a smoother inhale.

Do not use a vaporizer with cheap elements. Plastic near the heating element will cause by-products.

Contaminants and pesticides can be inhaled, source your material appropriately

Overheating can still cause combustion. You will smell, taste, and see smoke if this happens.

All the physical and psychological risks of weed are present--Take it easy, know your limits, don't vape or smoke when you're in an unstable state, etc.

Thanks for reading, I hope this helps you make informed decisions and potentially find a way of intaking weed that suits your needs :) If you have any more Qs I'll try to answer (IN FEWER WORDS)

dry herb vapes are king

Best Dry Herb Vaporizer of 2024

Hello all. 2024 is here, and with it, my list of the best dry herb vaporizers you can buy today. As you probably know, dry herb vapes are not "one-size-fits-all." The best vaporizer for me might not be the best for you, as we may prioritize different features. So, I've broken the list down by categories.

If you use any of these dry herb vapes (or any other ones), I'd be glad to know your opinion and experience with them.

* I also published this list as video on my YouTube channel

Best Overall Vaporizer- Venty

The Venty by Storz & Bickel was released a couple of months ago by a company with nearly 30 years of experience in dry herb vaporizers. S&B, the maker of the iconic Volcano desktop vaporizer, has developed the Venty as their flagship portable model after years of research and development.

The Venty has several strong pros:

It uses a super-efficient hybrid heating system and achieves maximum extraction. The herb is initially heated with conduction, meaning contact with the chamber's walls, and then convection heat is pulled in with each inhale to boost the extraction. The results it produces are predictable and consistently great.

It's as close to "medical grade" as it gets. The Venty has a UL certification and has been rigorously tested to ensure pure vapor with no contaminants.

It is very simple to use: Open, Load, Close, Ready, Set, Go.

Lastly, it is made to last. Built from premium materials, S&B has a proven track record of sturdy, long-lasting vapes.

The cons are:

First, it's expensive. At $450, it is not for everyone. The price tag is definitely a barrier for many users.

Second, it's big. While not huge and definitely manageable, it won't comfortably fit in a pocket. So, if you're an on-the-go user or value discreetness, the next vape on the list might be more suitable for you. However, for home use, larger vapes have a few benefits: they get less hot during use, typically have larger batteries, and are sturdier and easier to handle. So, the size can be a pro or con, depending on your perspective.

Best small-from vaporizer- Pax Plus

The Pax Plus is the company's fourth iteration since the original was released in 2012. It maintained the same size and shape but with significant internal improvements. At $200, Pax strikes a balance between price and performance and is a good fit for new users and pros alike. 

Here are a few of my favorite features:

Pax Plus easily has the best size/performance ratio in the industry. It's small and discreet and easily fits in a pocket or concealed in my palm. With the flat mouthpiece, it's almost impossible to tell what this thing is without seeing you actually using it. It's my top choice for going out, and since it's so small, sometimes I'll even pack my old Pax 3 and bring it with me as well so I can enjoy two sessions without repacking. 

It has a huge oven, which again can be a pro or a con, depending on the user. I can easily put half a gram into this press, which is a must-have if you buy the Pax, and pack it into this brick, which perfectly fits in the oven. This capacity is double that of most vapes, like the Venty, which fits around a quarter gram. A large oven fits more herb, meaning more THC. A proper session with the Pax can send most users to Mars faster than Elon's rockets. 

It's easy to use and clean, has a wireless charger, and is long-lasting. Look how banged up mine is, and it still works perfectly.

The cons are:

It doesn't have precise temperature control. Unlike the Venty, which can adjust the temperature by +/- 1°, the Pax has four preset levels. I typically start it on the third setting to get a good flavor and then bump it up to the fourth to maximize extraction.

Since it has a small body, it gets hot towards the end of sessions. This is a sacrifice you're making when opting for a smaller vape.

Easiest Vaporizer to Use and Maintain- Arizer Air MAX

The Arizer Air MAX is Arizer's latest release and features their signature usage process, which involves loading herbs into the glass mouthpiece, which is then inserted into the heating chamber. The original version of this vape was one of my first vaporizers and helped me personally switch from combustion to 100% vaping. Here's why I love it:

Pros:

It's unique loading system means only glass touches the herb, keeping the flavor pure and making it the only part that ever gets dirty. A quick dip in ISO once in a while easily removes the residue and leaves you with a clean air path.

It makes the most out of your flower. It has a small chamber perfect for solo use, and if you're looking to conserve flower due to cost or availability issues, the Air Max will stretch it the longest.

It has a replaceable battery, precise temperature control, and it comes with a 14mm rig adapter included in the kit.

Under $100- XMAX Starry 4

In the value category of under $100, I have the Xmax Starry. The latest version, the Starry 4, was released in mid-2023. Using the coupon code on the review page (linked below), you can get this vape for $90, which is excellent value. It has a ceramic oven with a capacity of a quarter gram, precise temperature control, and an adjustable airflow. It's an entry-level vape, so it doesn't have the vapor quality of more premium vapes, but it still punches above its weight class and is an excellent option for beginners. 

Best Convection Vaporizer- Tinymight 2

The Tinymight 2 is the best convection (aka on-demand) vaporizer. Convection vaporizers produce heat in a heating element outside the chamber. The heat is pulled into the chamber with each inhale, extracting vapor into the mouthpiece.

This means that each inhale is a mini-session, and you can hit it, leave it for an hour, and hit it again. But make no mistake, the Tinymight 2 is a super heavy hitter. If you build up to it, you can probably down an entire bowl with an intense 10-second inhale. That will hit you hard.

However, convection vapes like the TM2 have a slight learning curve and may not be the right fit for most people. I don't suggest buying the TM2 as a first-time vape unless you've tried it before and know what to expect.

If you're looking to save flower, you're probably better off with a small-oven hybrid vape such as the Venty or Air Max mentioned earlier.

Other all-rounders that are good choices include:

POTV Lobo: Uses a hybrid heating system, has a 0.25g chamber capacity, precise temp control, is super easy to use, has a few mouthpiece attachment options and a nice ecosystem available.

G-Pen Dash+: Another small and discreet option. It has a titanium heating chamber with 0.25g capacity, precise temp control, and is super simple to use.

Ooze Verge: This is another entry-level vape that performs excellent for its price. With the coupon on the review page, it's $125 and probably has the best vapor quality at that price. The battery life is on the shorter side, but still, this vape is a solid choice. 

And just a reminder - check out the review pages for more info and coupon codes for all these products- https://vapeguy.com/best-dry-herb-vaporizer/

This is the first post in a series of "best lists," where I'll break down my top choices for concentrate vaporizers, dab pens, eRigs, 510 batteries, and even vapor cups. I'd love to hear your thoughts or experience with any of these vapes or an insightful review of any other vape.
