Vapor Savvy Guide

In the Vapor Savvy Guide, I provide you with detailed reviews of the following portable vaporizers, where you can school yourself in Vapor Savvy behavior:

Please note that the vaporizers above are listed alphabetically, as I heartily recommend each and every vaporizer in the Vapor Savvy Guide. The Vapor Savvy Guide has been written to provide you with specific information to better determine the vaporizer (or vaporizers) most suitable for your lifestyle. I have personally used each of the above listed vaporizers, so you are receiving my first hand experience and opinion, not some canned PR release or sales shtick. 

In the Vapor Savvy Guide you will find the following information provided on each of the above vaporizers:

  • Price of Vaporizer
  • Ease of Use
  • Effective Vapors
  • Ease of Portability
  • Ease of Maintenance
  • Additional Supplies Required

As stated before, all vaporizers are recommended as reliable and effect tools for portable vaporizing, but the reviews on each vaporizer will allow you to more specifically identify which will best suit your needs and situation.

NOTE: I do not recommend the use of table top vaporizers, as they are unwieldy and do not offer the ease of travel or subtle use; therefore none are reviewed. There are many effective table top vaporizers that will perform admirably, but by reading through the above portable choices, you will find equal (if not possibly better) results from the devices listed above.

Preparing Herbs for Vaporizing

Vaporizing does not require a large amount of herb. A very generous amount for one person would be anywhere from .25 to .40 gram. Depending upon the vaporizer you are using, you will get anywhere from 5 to 20 hits for this amount. And if you prefer to drain every bit of taste (until zero flavor remains), you can likely suck up close to 10 more hits, but this will involve re-vaporizing herbs that are now devoid of any additional benefit, so the final hits will be more adulturated than the initial stage of vaporizing, where you are purely tasting the full power and effects of your herb of choice.

In order to acheive the most effective vapors with your herbs, one simple step is strongly recommended. Every user of vaporizer and herbs should own and use an herb grinder. I prefer a hand-held device, but there are also more expensive electric or battery grinders. In any event, the herbs you want to use in your vaporizer will vaporize better if they have been properly ground. This allows the heating and vaporizing process to have a more thorough effect throughout the herbs. And grinding makes herbs fluffy and for the fragrance to be fuller and more flavorful during vaporizing.
