It’s official; smoking anything is bad for you and that includes cannabis!
When you smoke cannabis in a joint, your herb burns at over 1000°c. At this temperature, the plant matter combusts, making hundreds of dangerous and potentially carcinogenic compounds available to be ingested by your lungs.
These compounds can have devastating effects on your lungs, heart and overall long term health.
As a result, in 2020 an increasing number of potheads are turning to cannabis vaporizers. When you vape cannabis, the herbs are only heated to a maximum of 220c. This is warm enough to cause all the cannabinoids (such as THC and CBD) inside the plant to evaporate, whilst leaving all the dangerous plant matter in the oven so you can throw it in the bin where it belongs!
In the UK, there are literally over 100 different cannabis vaporizes to choose from. This can make choosing the right model for you pretty difficult. To help you make the right choice we spoke to Anthony Barnett from the Green Society to find out what are the three best dry herb vaporizers in the UK.
The Mighty Vaporizer by Storz & Bickel
The Mighty isn’t the prettiest vaporizer but what it lacks in looks, it more than makes up for in functionality.
Storz & Bickel, its manufacturer are recognised by vaping veterans around the world as vaping kings thanks to their relentless pursuit to produce the very best vaping products.
The Mighty is their flagship model and boasts several features that help it stand out from the competition.
What makes the Mighty Vaporizer so great?
The Mighty Vaporizer has Hybrid Heating: Typically, vaporizers use either convection or conduction ovens. Each method of heating has its detractors. Some claim convection heaters are too slow and others complain that whilst being fast, convection ovens are not thorough. To combat this, the Mighty vaporizer boasts hybrid heating, this utilises both conduction and convection. The result is vapour that is incredibly potent.
The Pax 3 Vaporizer by Pax Labs.
Pax is famed for creating the best-looking vaporizers in the industry. The company has attracted millions of pounds of investment due to its reputation of being the ‘Apple’ of the cannabis industry,.
It’s latest model, the Pax 3 maintains the company’s reputation for aesthetically pleasing products. However, the device is not just a pretty face; it packs a punch too and despite looking similar to its predecessor, the Pax 2, in terms of performance, it is an upgrade in every single way.
What makes the Pax 3 so great?
The Pax 3 packs plenty of power: Despite measuring less than 10cm, the engineers at the famed Pax Labs have managed to squeeze an impressive 3,500mAh battery into the Pax’s minute frame. There are not many vaporizers that have a battery as big as this and the vaping devices that do are often twice the size and don’t fit in your pocket (thinking of you, Mighty!). Furthermore, Pax Labs claims that their latest flagships has double the power of the Pax 2 and it’ll produce vapour from your herbs within 20 seconds – impressive.
