If you are a person who loves herbs, and you want to improve the flavor as well as make your herbs last longer, then a desktop vaporizer like the Silver Surfer is for you. The desktop vaporizer is a staple to a connoisseur, much like the KitchenAid is a staple to the baker. There are many desktop vaporizers on the market, so how does a beginner know what type of dry herb vaporizer to get? We will go over in this article why we feel a desktop is an ultimate purchase and investment for the person in love with their dry herbs.
What is dry herb vaporization?
A vaporizer is overall pretty simple. They work by heating up the oils in your herbs so that the oils boil off the herbs, creating vapor. There is NO combustion, thus greatly reducing if not eliminating the tars and carcinogens found in smoking. Today we call vaping flower raw dabs, as a dab is just vaporizing the concentrated oils. We like using a dry herb desktop vaporizer best for consumption as there is no waste in extracting the oils, which are already on that beautiful flower.
A dry herb vaporizer will have less smell, no smoke, and will allow you to enjoy all the flavors different strains have as you vaporize them learning the art of vaporizing.
What is a desktop vaporizer?
A desktop vape is a dry herb vaporizer that is meant to stay in place at your home. They are workhorses and the Elev8 has been making desktop vaporizers since 2004 with all price ranges and features.
A desktop vaporizer uses a much more powerful heater to achieve the vapor experience than a portable dry herb vape. Also, most great desktop vapes use convection heating instead of conduction heater.
A good desktop like the Silver Surfer can be hooked up to your favorite rigs effortlessly. Also, a desktop vape will have full control utilizing digital or analog technology. Now, do not let digital fool you into believing it will enhance your vape experience. Vapor connoisseurs like to find their perfect temperature, which can be a number or a rotation of a dial to a preferred location.
There is no battery to go bad. The power is consistent and powerful. A desktop vaporizer is built to last, used daily and to enhance your consumption experience.
What is the difference between Conduction vs Convection desktop vapes?
Conduction vaporizers work with the herb touching the heating element. This works best on portable dry herb vapes for battery efficiency. The herb has to be stirred or moved a lot more.
Convection is when the air heats up your herb. This gives a better extraction, and with the new ball vape experience, the air heats more uniformly and is able to extract faster, giving larger hits.
What kind of desktop vapes are there?
Basically, there are two kinds of desktop vapes. The whip style and the bag style. Both have pros and cons, but a hybrid will give you the best of both worlds, much like the Super Surfer desktop vaporizer
Whip-style vaporizers are best for FLAVOR and really experiencing the art of vaporizing. A whip vaporizer typically uses a whip, made of a glass wand, tubing and a mouthpiece. Whip-style vapes operate mostly with the user inhaling the air over the herbs. While a hybrid can also help with this the inhalation method of inhaling slower or faster will allow the user to pull lighter or bigger hits. The whips mouthpiece on a desktop vape can also be swapped out with a water pipe adapter allowing you to use nearly any rig with your vape. This will help keep your glass cleaner longer, as well as your lungs
Balloons or forced air vapes fill a bag. This bag is used to inhale the vapor. The balloon-style desktop vaporizer is great for parties, as well as for someone who has a harder time with their lungs. A forced air vape like the Super Surfer works to fill a bag, or can be used with the whip.
