The Best Way to Vaporize

Vaporizing tobacco and herbs is an alternative way of ingesting the chemical components of the plant without inhaling the hazardous carbon monoxide. Vaporization involves heating the plant matter to a temperature where vapor is emitted but the plant is not combusted. To properly vaporize tobacco and other herbs, a controlled heating mechanism is necessary to restrict extreme temperatures. Despite the lack of carbon monoxide when inhaled, tobacco and herb vapor is not healthy and can still result in health problems if abused.

Instructions

• 1

  Grind the tobacco or herbs into a fine consistency using a hand-held or power grinder. Place the tobacco and herbs aside until ready to vaporize.

• 2

  Set the temperature limit on the heating element to restrict combustion of the plant matter. Tobacco may have a lower vaporization temperature than other herbs or plant matter, so always refer to the proper vaporization temperature prior to heating.

• 3

  Load the tobacco or ground herbs into the heating element. Do not overfill the heating element and make sure there is no tobacco or herbs blocking the inhalation tube or mechanism.

• 4

  Plug in or power via batteries the vaporizer heating element. Wait for several minutes until the heating element has reached the proper temperature to vaporize the tobacco or herbs.

• 5

  Inhale the vapor of the tobacco or herbs through the designated tube or nozzle. Repeat until vapor is not longer emitted from the heating element.
