Vaporizers intended for use with cannabis are available in a huge range of shapes and sizes. Some models require a power connection and a bit of real estate on your desk or table, at least while you’re using them. Others are portable and easily mistaken for writing utensils.
Some vaporizer devices are also equipped for the dual uses of cannabis flower and concentrates like shatter or wax.
Utah’s Medical Cannabis patients can get raw flower, if OK’d by a Qualified Medical Provider, but they aren’t allowed to smoke it. Dry herb vaporizers, like the PAX 3 or the Firefly 2+, help those patients stay in compliance with the law.
Because vaporizers operate at sub-combustion temperatures, it’s impossible to inhale many of the (often carcinogenic) hydrocarbons found in marijuana smoke.
Many devices allow the user to adjust the temperature, allowing greater control over the specific cannabinoids and terpenes released for inhalation. Delta-9-THC, for example, is released at 315°F/157°C. View the “Activation Temps” guide at UtahMarijuana.org/guides for more!
