Vaporizers are devices designed to heat substances, such as herbs or concentrates, to a temperature that releases their active compounds without combustion. This process produces a vapor that can be inhaled, offering a potentially healthier alternative to smoking. Vaporizers come in various forms, including portable and desktop models, catering to different user preferences. These devices typically use either convection or conduction heating methods. Convection heats the air around the substance, while conduction directly heats the material. Many vaporizers also allow users to control the temperature, enabling a customized experience that can enhance flavor and potency.
