How to Use a Conduction Style Vaporizer

A conduction-style vaporizer heats herbs by putting them in contact with something hot, as opposed to a convection-style vaporizer, which transmits heat by flowing hot air through the herbs. In terms of efficiency, the conduction style is viewed as inferior because it provides uneven heating. Vaporizing an herb heats it to the point where the essential oils are activated without burning the actual plant matter. Tobacco smokers can use vaporizers to consume nicotine while avoiding the health risks associated with inhaling carcinogens and smoke that come with smoking cigarettes and cigars.
