Information on Herbal Vaporizers

With the legalization of marijuana for medical use in some states, the herbal vaporizer is virtually becoming a household utensil. Using the herb for medicinal purposes for non-smokers has to be offered in a way that would not damage or further damage someone's lungs. Marijuana Vaporizer says there are other uses for these herbal vaporizers than smoking marijuana or cigarettes.

How they work

• According to e-Herbal Vaporizer, a vaporizer used for herbal inhalation uses heat to release the vital essences of the herb or tobacco product in the machine. This heat is just sufficient to release the vital elements without burning the herb or causing any combustion. Thus, e-Herbal Vaporizer says a vaporizer does not cause anyone to inhale smoke.

How they are used

• Vaporizing clove is good for chest congestion.

  Marijuana Vaporizer says it is common for people to think that an herbal vaporizer is for marijuana only. Some other uses include vaporizing clary sage, which is good for treating depression, and clove, which is good for chest coughs. Marijuana Vaporizer states that it created a database of herbs useful in an herbal vaporizer. They suggest researching the chosen herb for the correct temperature to use when vaporizing it. According to Vaporizer Guru, using an herbal vaporizer for smoking tobacco not only removes the smoke but also is a much less-harmful way of inhaling than to smoke cigarettes.

Different types

• Several types of vaporizers are on the market. The digital, the convection and the remote heating element vaporizers are three of them. The digital, according to e-Herbal Vaporizer, lets you have more control over the exact temperature of the heat being applied to your herb. If you were vaporizing a more delicate herb, you would need to use less heat and control it carefully. The convection vaporizer uses a method similar to a convection oven. The heating element heats air and the air surrounds the herb to heat it. The remote heating element, according to e-Herbal Vaporizer, is similar to the convection but the heating element is separate from the unit and may cause a problem when you want to control the temperature.
