There are many brands of portable vaporizer pens out there. However, despite the popularity of vape pens, there is a confusion surrounding them: do they actually vape and produce vapor or do they produce smoke? The answer: yes, but you need to use glass screen filters. Here is our tutorial for using glass screen filters to produce vapor from your vape pen instead of combusted smoke.
Now, this technique depends on a few things. How fast do you count? How quickly are you slowly inhaling (hopefully, your answer is not quickly)? How hot does your device's chamber get? All of these things will determine if you get vapor, combustion, or nothing at all and need to modify your technique. Here's what to do with each scenario.
Congratulations! You've mastered the technique. Good job and happy vaping!
No, this is not vapor. Vapor is not a thick cloud. It does not taste like smoke, and it should not linger and smell as strong. If this happened to you, your dry herbs were heated up too much. There are two ways to solve this problem.
Instead of 3-5 seconds, try 1-3 seconds, then inhale slowly. Giving the device less time to heat up will prevent the dry herbs from getting too hot and combusting.
If your dry herbs seem to combust immediately no matter how quickly you begin inhaling, you need to create even more separation between the herbs and the coils. Add another glass screen and go back to the original technique of powering for 3-5 seconds. And if it combusts, try 1-3 seconds. If it still combusts, add another glass screen and repeat the steps again until you find the right amount of glass screens and appropriate timing.
If you do not get vapor, this means the herbs aren't getting hot enough. There are 3 things you can do to fix this.
Vape pens are working with a limited amount of heating surface area (mostly just the glass screen surface). They will vape more effectively if the heat is distributed only among the herbs doing the surface of the glass screen. Therefore, the less dry herbs you pack, the better the heat transfer and the easier it is to produce vapor.
Your herbs aren't getting hot enough to produce vapor, so instead of powering your device for 3-5 seconds, try 5-10 seconds. If you still don't get vapor, try 15-20 seconds.
Important note #1: some vape batteries have an automatic shut off feature and will stop power for about 3 seconds if you hold the power button down too long (usually over 7 seconds). So, if you need to power your chamber for longer than this timeframe, try to memorize how long it takes for the automatic shut off to occur. Then, right before it happens, let go of the power button and *immediately* press and hold it down again. This will trick the battery into providing a consistent supply of power without shutting off. Important note #2: some vape pen heating coils will not get as hot if the battery is reaching the end of its charge. If your coils are looking dim, try giving the battery a full charge
If you are using more than 1 glass screen, try using less. Having less separation between your herbs and the heating coils will help ensure they get hot enough to produce vapor. And that's how you get real, actual vapor from your vape pen!
If you're having trouble figuring out what's vapor and what's smoke, here are a few key differences:
Notice the bright color of fresh tobacco vs the darkened color of vaped tobacco. Combusted tobacco is black with white ashes.
For first-time vape users, there are a couple of things to keep in mind: Any vape pen that has an exposed heating coil where you place your herbs onto directly is going to combust your herbs. I've seen a lot of people who think that combusted smoke is vapor, and get disappointed when they use a real vaporizer. Using vape pens to smoke is actually still really fun. It's more convenient, portable, and stealthy than other options. But just be sure not to confuse the thick, foggy, combusted clouds of smoke with the vapor produced from a real vaporizer or vape pen using glass screens to produce real vapor.
