Vaporizers are devices designed to heat substances, such as herbs or oils, to a temperature that releases their active compounds without burning them. 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 vaporizers heat the air around the substance, while conduction vaporizers directly contact the material with a heated surface. Both methods aim to provide a smoother and more flavorful experience compared to traditional smoking methods.
