Introduction

Combustion has been around forever, but vaporizers change the game by letting you consume flower more efficiently. I’m not here to tell you to stop combusting if you enjoy it—I just want to show you how vaporizers can cut your costs and make your stash last way longer.

How Does a Vaporizer Work?

Vaporizers heat flower to the point where active compounds boil and vapourize—without burning the material. Unlike smoking, which turns plant matter into ash, vaporizers preserve more of the cannabinoids and terpenes for you to actually consume.

• Conduction: Heating the material directly.
• Convection: Passing hot air through the material.

Why Vaporizers Are More Efficient Than Smoking

Most vaporizers run between 350°F–410°F, the sweet spot for vapourizing active compounds. Combustion, by contrast, burns much hotter, wasting and even destroying material. With vapourization, you use less per session, and you get more out of what you do use.

Real Herb Savings

A standard joint uses about 0.5 g. Many vaporizers only need 0.1–0.15 g per bowl—and often give you multiple sessions per load. That means you can stretch a single joint’s worth of herb into 6–8 full experiences with a vaporizer.

If you spend $100/month on flower with combustion, vapourization can cut that down to $25/month for the same number of sessions. A $70 vaporizer can literally pay for itself in just one month.

Maximizing Vaporizer Efficiency

• Step up your temps: Start low for flavour, then increase for later sessions to fully extract.
• Inhale slowly: A steady pull extracts better than fast draws.
• Grind fine & stir: More surface area = more efficient extraction.

ABV: The Final Frontier

Don’t throw away your ABV (already been vaped) material. Even after a session, it still contains active compounds. Many users eat ABV in small amounts mixed with food for a surprisingly potent effect. Handle with care—this stuff is stronger than it looks!

Conclusion

Switching to vapourization is one of the easiest ways to save money on weed. You’ll consume less herb, get more out of each session, and even reuse your ABV. No matter your budget, vaporizers make sense if you want efficiency without sacrifice.

FAQ

Do vaporizers really save money?

Yes. By using less herb per session and fully extracting active compounds, vaporizers can reduce your flower spending by up to 75%.

How much herb does a vaporizer use compared to smoking?

Joints often use 0.5 g. Many vaporizers use just 0.1–0.15 g, and still give multiple sessions per load.

What is ABV and can I use it?

ABV (already been vaped) is the leftover material after a session. It still contains active compounds and can be consumed to extend your stash.

Will my vaporizer pay for itself?

Yes. Even a $70 unit can pay for itself in a month or two through reduced flower costs.

Does vapour taste better than smoke?

Absolutely. Vapour preserves terpenes and
