It has always been a heated debate- which vaping technology is better. Markets are full of options, both from conduction and convection vaporizer pen family. However, when it comes to choosing one, people often end up overwhelmed.
Nevertheless, this article will help you with the same. (If you’re also facing a similar conundrum)
The Economic Factor
First of all, every purchase decision ever depends on monetary value and buying capacity. In all senses, buyers obviously go for products that offer more value for money. And it is the same with vaporizers as well.
Considering the cost factor, conduction type vaporizers are more budget-friendly. Whereas, on the other hand, the convection type of vaporizer pen would cost you a fortune. And the reason is simple, conduction type vaporizers have a rather easy construction.
Ease Of Operation
Using a conduction vaporizer pen, all you need to do is connect the battery with the juices and you’re good to go. They are also quick to heat up. Whereas, a convection heater usually takes longer to reach the apt temperature.
So, once again, conduction type vaporizers make up for a better choice in this segment.
Durability And Longevity
When you’re spending nearly a hundred dollars on a vaporizer, you’d want it to last. At least, as long as you don’t gain the value you’ve invested.
Conduction vapes have a common problem which could render them useless in some time- they leak a lot. Moreover, most of the conduction type vaping kits are either disposable or use threaded cartridges. A convection vaporizer pen, on the other hand, lasts longer and does not leak that easily. Moreover, they are a lot easier to clean and maintain, which also improves their longevity.
Effect On The Flavors And Aroma
It is well known, a fact, that conduction vaporizers can easily burn away the flavors. The phenomena responsible for this lies in how the conduction heating works.
The surface which is in immediate contact with the heat source remains hotter than the one farther away. In other words, the liquid at the bottom receives more heat causing it to burn.
Convection heating uses an entirely different phenomenon for creating vapors. Usually, a stream of hot air is blown through the material to extract and heat the terpenes. Thus, producing a more uniform and flavor-rich vapor cloud.
Value For Money
Most important of all is to know if the vaporizer you’re buying a value for money product. By now, you must have realized that both the contenders are equally tugging so far. Conduction technology is more economical and easy to operate. Whereas, convection technology is more reliable and produces better flavors. However, in the end, it all boils down to just one thing- is your buy value for money?
To answer this, you need to understand that conduction technology can be used for all types of materials ranging from juices to dry herbs. Whereas, convection is more popularly used for dry herb vaping. So, unless you first decide what you really want to vape with your vaporizer pen, it would really be difficult to answer this question.
Resting my opinion, Convection technology is more suitable if you’re looking forward to dry herb vaping. However, if you need an all-rounder then conduction might just be the best choice for you.
