Vaporizing or “vaping” of cannabis has gained in popularity over the last several years, just as e-cigarettes have. Here are few reasons why vaping cannabis is more beneficial for you than smoking it.
The main difference in comparrison to smoking is that when vaping you dont burn the herb .Most vaporizers heat cannabis to a temperature just below combustion, in the range of 180 to 200°C (356 to 392°F). therfore there is no smoke produced only the pure vapor of all the substances inside the herb like canabinoids (THC, CBD) a turpenes .

According to two recent survey studies, people who vape cannabis perceive it to have health benefits and find it to be safer and less harmful to their health than smoking, Furthermore, cannabis vaporizers are specifically designed for inhalation without harmful smoke toxins.
And while many pro-marijuana advocates site the study that says smoking marijuana has not been proven to cause lung cancer (and might even actually help prevent it) it's true that smoking anything is not great for your health.
There are no long-term studies on people who vaporize, which means it’s impossible to say for sure whether vaporizers are safe for your lungs.However, based on how the devices work, many experts believe that vaporizing is at least better for your lungs than smoking. Likewise, smaller studies have shown that using a vaporizer can lead to fewer lung issues.
In a 2010 study (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20451365) , researchers found that using a vaporizer for just one month led to “meaningful improvements” in the lung health of 20 daily cannabis smokers.The researchers only chose people with existing lung symptoms in order to determine if vaporizing could help. By the end of the month, subjects showed better lung function and reported less breathing symptoms like coughing up phlegm and shortness of breath.
The researchers concluded that using a vaporizer “appears to have the potential to minimize respiratory complaints.” In other words, switching to a vaporizer might be good for your health.
Also vaporizing marijuana emits a vapor that has been proven to be 95% smoke and carcingoen free.
Cost is a big factor . Have you ever stopped to think about how much of your precious cannabis you’re wasting by burning it? The fact is that there is a tremendous amount of waste when your plan is being burned, because that process doesn’t make any distinction between what is needed to produce the smoke and what is actually burned.
With vaporization, the process is much more efficient, and thus more cost-effective. Your plant gets consumed at the rate you vaporize it, and the process isn’t one that runs out of control until all of the fuel material is gone. More control translates into less waste – and that translates into greater cost savings for you.
While vaporizing weed will still give off an odor, you won’t smell it a block away. Vapor disperses into the atmosphere much quicker than smoke meaning you won’t be smelling out your neighbors even if you’re toking all day long.
With the right kind of portable vaporizer, you’d be able to steal tokes in public here and there without raising any suspicion about your actions. Once more, I don’t recommend you vaporize in public because even in legal states, you’re not allowed to get high in public spaces.
And it is very easy to hide a vape pen quickly, should you need to do so. Also, many pen vaporizers look like e-cigarettes, so it is possible to go on a nice vape session in broad day light, without anyone noticing.
Terpenes are the particles mostly responsible for flavors in your buds. They are also therapeutic alongside the cannabinoids. While burning the plants for smoking, most if not all the terpenes are ‘killed’ straight away. With vaporizing, you get a full taste of the bud as most of the terpenes are present when they enter your mouth and lungs.
With vaporizers, you can truly enjoy the different Cannabis strains’ real flavor, while with smoking they all taste like smoke.
If you are going to buy yoursefl you need to know that there are 2 types of vaporizers
Desktop vapes are on the larger side, and they pack a punch when it comes to vapor production – much more than their portable counterparts. Since these units do need to be plugged in to function, they are perfect for the person that likes to get strong hits from their vapor, enjoys their medicine at home, and doesn’t plan on bringing the unit out of the house too often.
As you guessed the only difference is that these are portable , meaning they have battery inside and need to be recharged after few sessions.
