The number of people using vape (or electronic cigarettes) around the world has gone up to almost 55 million (from approximately 7 million people in 2011). Studies show that the inhalation of any kind of smoke can be detrimental to the health of the human lungs, so many consider vaping as a healthier alternative to smoking.
It is such a widely recognised belief that even a good number of hemp users and medical marijuana patients have chosen hemp vapes over the traditional way of consuming it, smoking.
Now, you may be wondering how to vape hemp. Well, the first thing you should know is that you don’t vape hemp by putting some in a regular vape pen. This is because most pen vaporizers have oil cartridges, which means they only work with vaping liquid or vaping oils. Vaping hemp or hemp would require you to use a different type of vaporizer.
To help you navigate and familiarise with what is increasingly becoming popular out of several different hemp consumption methods, we’ve come up with a step-by-step guide on how to vape hemp.
The first thing you will need is, of course, the dry herb. Make sure you get marijuana that is of high quality. Also, make sure that the consistency of the bud you procure has just the right texture. Getting a hemp product that is either too dry or too sticky will not work well properly with your hemp vaporizer.
While acquiring your herb, you may want to check out what hemp strain you are purchasing. Each strain has a different amount of flavonoids, cannabinoids and terpenoids, the most common compounds in medical marijuana.
You will need a grinder to make sure that your hemp plants are ground finely. By using a grinder, you can make sure that your dry herb will be consistently ground, evenly heated, and more kief will be retained.
A Tip: Most dry herb vaporizers require medium ground herbs.
The truth is that nowadays, there are many different ways to consume marijuana that do not necessarily require you to smoke hemp. You may use hemp pens, wax pens and electric dab rigs with some hemp concentrate, hemp oil, or vape juice. However, in the context of this guide, we will be talking about a dry herb vaporizer.
Dry herb vaporizers come in two types: A table-top vaporizer or a portable vaporizer. Whichever you choose to use, though, you have to be sure that it is a dry herb hemp vaporizer.
To further classify dry herb vaporizers, such vapes could work on either convection heating or conduction heating. A convection heating vape uses air to heat the herbs, while a conduction heater heats the herbs within proximity.
Now that you’ve got the necessary materials to vape hemp, it’s time actually to start doing it. Here’s how to vape hemp in a few simple steps.
Scoop your mediumly ground dry herbs into the vape cartridge, oven or herb chamber. To do this, use a hemp scooper or makeshift scoopers like business cards or paper.
Once you have scooped your hemp into the vaporizer’s chamber, pack it in using a finger or a small tool. However, you will have to make sure that it is not packed in too tightly. Otherwise, air will not flow properly.
When you’ve packed the hemp properly into the device, you may start using in. Turn it on and set it to your desired temperature. Wait until the device reaches your desired temperature before taking your first hit.
To prime your vape, take a few gentle puffs. Once ready, put the mouthpiece loosely between your lips and start taking slow drags. Let the vapour fill your lungs and then exhale.
Fair warning: If you haven’t vaped before and have only smoked hemp before, you should know that inhaling vapour feels different as compared to inhaling smoke.
Also, note that most hemp vapes limit your usage per session. You may, however, turn it back on to continue using it. You may continue using already smoked marijuana as long as it still has some colour in it. If it is too dark or black, then you may want to stop using it.
After using it, you may start cleaning and sanitizing your vaporizer. Make sure to clean your vape correctly, as not cleaning it appropriately may cause uneven vaporization and overall poor vape performance.
Although it is more than just an alternative to smoking, there is no denying that it does have a few advantages to smoking. Here are some examples:
Whether you smoke or vape hemp, its health benefits remain real and the same. However, considering all the advantages that vaping marijuana possesses over smoking it, it is safe to say that vaping is a much better option. And to find out how to vape the best way is to try it out for yourself, so why not purchase your first dry herb vaporizer today!
