Vaporizers have completely changed the way cannabis is consumed, both for recreational and therapeutic purposes. Offering a powerful and reliable way to consume cannabis, both recreationally and therapeutically, without the health risks of smoking, vaporizers are slowly but surely becoming a must-have item for most regular users. The Mighty+ brand is the best of the lot here.
Thanks to advances in technology, Mighty+ vaporizers from Storz & Bickel today are more portable and affordable than ever. Whether you are an experienced vapor or new to the field, here we share 8 simple tips for vaping dry herbs. Don’t forget to follow these tips for the ultimate vaping experience with Mighty+.
Use Fresh Herb
Fresh is better. Remember, your vaping experience will only be as good as the quality of your weed. The vaporization process depends on humidity; it involves heating a substance to the point where the compounds it contains reach their boiling point and form a vapor, which can be inhaled like smoke.
Therefore, it is always best to use fresh herb which is more likely to have high moisture concentrations. The herbs you put in the chamber should not be too wet or too dry. A good way to test the humidity level of your head is to feel it. Your weed shouldn’t be wet or soft to the touch, but it also shouldn’t be so dry that you can crush it into a fine powder with your fingers.
Crumb Well
Once you’ve inspected your weed and determined that it’s suitable for vaping, it’s time to start grinding. Crumbling your grass helps increase its surface area. This, in turn, allows the heat from Mighty+ vaporizer from Storz & Bickel to better penetrate the plant matter and produce a nice, thick, flavorful vapor. When vaping dry herbs, make sure you get a good, even grind. The best way is to use a manual or electric grinder.
If you don’t have one of these tools, grind your weed as you normally would. Just remember that you want an even grind, which can be hard to achieve without a good weed grinder. Never grind more herbs than you need to fill a chamber. Any remaining crumbled grass will dry out much faster.
Check the Temperature
Temperature is the most important aspect of vaping. Therefore, it is important that you have the correct temperature setting for every session, whether you are vaping dry herbs or concentrates. Unfortunately, finding the right temperature isn’t as easy as it looks. The general rule is that you should vape between 180-210°C (356-410°F). However, you will have to try several temperatures in order to find the ideal setting. Different cannabinoids vaporize at different temperatures. Slight variations in your bud’s moisture content or your crumble’s texture can also affect how your weed vaporizes.
Additionally, many users find that vaping at different temperatures causes different effects; lower temperatures tend to make users clearer and more functional, while higher temperatures tend to produce high euphoria and relaxation.
Pack Well, But Not Too Much
Much like smoking with a bong or pipe, how you pack Mighty+ vaporizer chamber has a huge impact on the overall experience. Again, you’ll want to find the sweet spot to pack your heat chamber with enough weed to generate a good amount of vapor, without putting out too much. Because putting too much substance in the heating chamber can affect the vapor draw between the chamber and the mouthpiece. Sometimes too much can also damage the interior of Mighty+ vaporizer from Storz & Bickel.
Preheat Your Vaporizer
Vaporizers are like ovens, they need time to reach the right temperature. Just like you wouldn’t put roast chicken in a cold oven, you shouldn’t put your weed in Mighty+ vaporizer from Storz & Bickel that hasn’t had time to heat up. Luckily, most modern Mighty+ vaporizers from Storz & Bickel can preheat in seconds, which means your vaporizer is usually ready to use by the time you’ve crumbled your herb. However, some older models or bulkier vaporizers may take a bit longer to reach the desired temperature.
Whatever type of vaporizer you use be sure to read the instructions carefully, and know how to preheat it. This will allow your weed to vaporize properly and evenly, making the experience more enjoyable every time.
Inhale Slowly and Gently
When vaping, remember to take short hits and pull gently. When Mighty+ vaporizers from Storz & Bickel first hit the market, there was this tendency to take big, long, deep hits from the mouthpiece, like you were trying to suck fruit through a straw at the bottom of your smoothie. There are two downsides to this kind of vaping technique:
First, taking long hits from your Mighty+ vaporizer can cause your weed to be sucked out of the chamber, through the mouthpiece, and then into your mouth. Second, pulling your vaporizer too hard and consistently introduces cold air into the chamber. This lowers the temperature inside your vaporizer, making the machine work harder and thus affecting the quality of your vapor.
