Vapes are a convenient and sleek way to consume cannabis (and they make you feel like you’re smoking weed in Cyberpunk 2077). What’s confusing is the number of ways you CAN vape — we’re here to clear up what the best option is for you.Â
Dried Flower Vaporizers
Vaping dried flower is about as simple as it gets. Just throw your favourite flower strains in the chamber and toke away. The great thing about flower vaporizers is how easy they are to clean, the low heat temperatures vaporize the cannabis at a nice pace keeping residue to a minimum.
If you’re looking for a low maintenance vape option and want to stick to flower, this type of vape is perfect for you.
Pros
- Easy to clean
- Versatility in strains
Cons
- Bulky
- Requires more battery power
Oil Vaporizers
Wine snobs: meet your match. With oil vapes, the terpenes are so forward in the flavour profile you might even be able to name each individual one. Cannabis oil is so pure and concentrated — you get a rich, full taste of the strain you are smoking, which is an intense and interesting experience.
Oil vaporizers are perfect for the cannabis sommelier, the kind of person who can name each cannabinoid and terpene in a strain and explain each of their effects.Â
Pros
- Convenient pre-filled pods
- Rich terpene taste
Cons
- Restricted to pods that fit your vape battery
- Can be hard to clean
Disposable Vaporizers
It’s not that these vapes have commitment issues, they’re just made for people who aren’t looking for a serious vaping relationship right now. Often when you purchase a disposable, you’ll get a “puff” count — which is an estimation of how many hits you’ll get out of the vape.Â
Disposable vapes are great for travelling, those on the go and as a gift for those curious about vaping.Â
Pros
- Ready to use at purchase
- No maintenance needed
Cons
- Unable to refill
- Can be more expensive in the long run
