What are types of dry herb vaporizers ?

Types of dry herb vaporizers:

Dry herb vaporizers use either conduction or convection to create vapor, and sometimes combine the two heating methods. 

Whether your device is considered a convection or conduction vaporizer is based on the more dominant process.

Conduction vaporizers

A conduction vaporizer has a lot in common with a frying pan on a stovetop. A frying pan made from a solid material, 

such as stainless steel or ceramic, contains the food to be cooked, and a heating element is applied to the other side of the pan. 

The heat is transferred from the stove to the pan, heating the food inside. In a vaporizer, our ingredient is marijuana or hemp bud.

Overall, conduction is a more direct and aggressive method of heating. If you’re seeking a powerful hit that leads to a quick high,

 this is desirable. But there are some drawbacks to conduction vaporizers that need to be considered.

Conduction disperses heat less evenly, and this inconsistency can be troublesome for some users. It can be more difficult to 

predict the intensity or flavor of each hit. Stopping to stir the herb every now and again can help mitigate this issue. Another 

issue is that the weed tends to continue to heat after you want it to stop. That’s not a problem when the plan is to use all of 

the bud in the vaporizer in one sitting, but it’s not ideal if you want to take one hit and then set it aside for later.

On a more positive note, conduction vaporizers are generally straightforward and easy to use. They also have a longer battery 

life and can produce more flavor.

Convection vaporizers

Convection vaporizers are simpler to regulate. This device introduces a steady flow of heated air to the herb, compared to the 

less consistent heat supplied by conduction vaporizers.

If conduction vaporizers are similar to frying pans, convection vaporizers are more like ovens or hand dryers. Instead of direct 

contact with the heating element, hot air is pushed into the chamber where the bud is packed.

Some convection vaporizers have an internal fan, while others utilize the airflow created when you take a draw. In either case, 

the weed stops heating when the airflow stops, which makes them the superior choice for users who want to vape a little now 

and more later.

Due to the separation of its heating element and chamber, convection vaporizers tend to be larger than conduction models.
