We know vaporizing is far better than smoking dry herbs. A vaporizer vaporizes the active ingredients of herbs or blends for the purpose of inhalation. And various types of vaporizers or vaping devices are available on the market today. Desktop vaporizer, portable vaporizer, bag, whip vaporizers, oil vape pens, etc,; the list is endless today. However each category functions variously. Among them portable vaporizers are more popular as they help to vape in a discreet, convenient manner. Portable vaporizers are compact, handheld units that enable “on-the-go” consumption of dry herb and wax concentrates. They have advanced heating systems also.

Heating style is one of the main features of vaporizers. Portable vaporizers mainly work either in conduction or convection heating method. Both have their own unique advantages. Another heating style is combination of conduction and convection, Hybrid style.

Most modern vaporizers use Conduction to heat whatever is put inside them. This is because it generally allows for more precise temperature control. The intensity of the heat waves can be increased or decreased with a touch of a button, and the resulting change is nearly instantaneous. Popular vaporizers like the Volcano use the conduction method. Portable vapes with conduction systems heat materials faster. Conduction vaporizers also tend to be more affordable. Because the herb that’s in contact with the heating element will grow hotter faster than the rest of the load, we recommend stirring the bowl in-between hits.

Convection heating style was the primary means of vaporization in the early days of vaporizers. In convention method vaporization is done by heating up a small screen on which the herbs, waxes or other product lays. This directly heats the materials to be vaporized and creates fast vaporization with very clear and potent results. Convection vaporizers send hot air flowing through the chamber to heat the bowl evenly and thoroughly. This heating style minimizes combustion to prevent smoky tastes and harshness while maximizing flavor, aroma, and medicinal benefits. Many vaporizer users feel that convection provides for better-tasting vapor than conduction does.

Hybrid conduction/convection units utilize aspects of both conduction and convection to make vaping faster and more efficient. These devices heat fast using conduction chambers. Once the air in the chamber has reached the desired temperature, the heating element will then automatically set to a lower temperature to create convection heating. Thus hybrid system delivers smoother, flavor-rich vapor with convection heating.
