Best Oil Vaporizers – A Quick Yet Definitive Guide
Dry Herb vs Oils
We have a guide to the best vaporizers out there. Whether it’s a desktop or a portable vaporizer pen, there are a plethora of choices out there. We hope to help you narrow that choice down to the perfect gift for someone you love – or, you know, yourself.
First, a quick word on dry herb versus oil vaporizers. Oils are concentrates and therefore contain more of the active ingredients that alleviate symptoms than dry herbs. Also, no matter which method you choose, dry herbs are going to have that “Hey, I’m smoking pot” smell. While vaporizing diminishes this odor somewhat, it will still be present. With oils, you can choose the aromas you wish to emit – eau de cannabis or something else altogether.
Another consideration is that dry herbs can take their time in taking effect. Oils can come on faster and stronger. Depending on your needs, both can have their advantages and disadvantages. If you want quicker, more immediate pain relief, then an oil might be best for you. If you’d rather to be eased into your relief or your high, then you might want to stick with dry herbs.
We’re going to stick to oil vaporizers for our shopping guide this time around.
