But you need to know their differences, merits and demerits to decide which one is better for you. So let’s do a comparison between them.

Dry herbs

Dry herbs come directly from the growing plants and so a lot easier to come by than wax. Today plenty of vapable herbs are available on the market. Since it is easily available, it’s not prohibitively expensive. One of the biggest benefits of vaping dry herbs over wax concentrates is that you get the full spectrum of cannabinoids and terpenes. Its because the cannabinoids and terpenes are factors that provide the plant with its potent aroma, flavor packed taste, and the psychoactive effects. As well as the lower THC levels also make vaping dry herbs similar to smoking from a joint/bowl. So the THC potency lies generally between 10% and 25%. Thus the dry herb is lower potent than wax.

Dry herb vaporizer is best for consumption of herbs. They heat weed instead of burning it, and create vapor containing fewer toxicants than the smoke created by combustion. Most of the cannabis vaporizers for dry herb are convenient, portable, and easy to use. Although, sometimes weed causes a distinct smell when you’re using a vaporizer, joint or blunt. It can be stick to clothes and hair and leave your vaporizer blackened after use. So its necessary and difficult to clean the device.

Wax

Wax is a popular cannabis concentrate and is widely accepted for dabbing. Potency is the main factor that attracts both newbies and pro-users to wax concentrates. According to studies THC level upto 80% in wax leads to sudden high and better vaping experience compared to dry herbs. Wax is basically the particular cannabinoid rich in a particular herb. Wax can be used in a variety of ways, from portable devices the size of a pen to rigs that use a blowtorch. Another benefit of using wax is that it doesn’t produce strong smells no matter how it is used. It can produce a lot of vapor, more than dry herb, so even if people can’t smell the wax, they can see its results. Vaping wax leaves sticky residues in the device and is easier to clean compared to the latter.

But wax is not easily available as dry herbs because making it requires a complex chemical process and expensive equipment. Therefore they are always more expensive than herbs.

By keeping all the points above make a decision which one is better for you. Both have their own pros and cons. When dry herb provides long lasting sessions wax offers faster high. Therefore the choice is yours. Choose the one that is best for you!
