Vaporizers

Vaporizers are Elev8's bread and butter! We were founded when our CEO Steve Kelnhofer designed the Silver Surfer Vaporizer in 2004, and since that time we have assembled a full product line of dry herb and concentrate vaporizers. These are not e-cigarettes or nicotine vaporizers, these are true herbal desktop vaporizers for connoisseurs who want to get the best possible flavor profile from their favorite dry herbs.

The goal of any herb and concentrate vaporizer is to heat your herb to the vaporization temperature (boiling point) of the desirable compounds without combusting the herb itself, but you don't have to be a biologist it's much easier than it sounds! Through a process of trial and error you will quickly learn how to use your new vaporizer to extract maximum flavor from your favorite herbs and concentrates.

Herb and concentrate vaporizers work by utilizing three different heating methods. Our flagship vaporizer, the Silver Surfer Vaporizer, is a true convection vaporizer meaning that it does not heat the herbs directly; instead air is drawn over the heating element and passed through the herb. The hot air heats the herb to release the desired compounds which are then inhaled. This is Elev8's preferred heating method: the SSV, DBV, LSV, the Super Surfer, and the ELEV8R are all convection vaporizers. Conduction vaporizers like our Wax Maxer V2 Pro Dab Pen heat the herb or concentrate directly, and hybrid vaporizers like our SideKick Vaporizer use a combination of convection and conduction heating. Herb and concentrate vaporizers can be portable units like the SideKick and ELEV8R, or they can be desktop vaporizers like the SSV, and while desktop vaporizers have taken on many forms over the years, the most common systems will use either a whip (like the SSV) or a vapor bag (like the Super Surfer and Volcano).

Vaporizers have gained immense popularity over the years, becoming a must-have for both beginners and experienced users. With so many brands and models flooding the market, it can be overwhelming to choose the perfect one for your needs. That's why we're here to help you out.

At Elev8, we've been at the forefront of the vaporizer industry since 2004, even before the term "VAPE" became a household name. We pride ourselves in creating heat extraction devices that deliver the ultimate vaping experience. But what exactly is a vaporizer?

read more

A vaporizer is a device that heats up your herbs or concentrates to a specific temperature, causing them to release their active compounds in the form of vapor. Unlike smoking, which involves combustion and the inhalation of harmful toxins, vaporizers offer a cleaner and more efficient way to enjoy your favorite substances. Whether you prefer dry herbs, oils, or waxes, there's a vaporizer out there that suits your preferences.

However, it's important to note that a vaporizer is not a magical cure-all or a guaranteed way to quit smoking. While it may provide a healthier alternative to traditional smoking, vaporizers are not intended to be used as a smoking cessation tool. It's crucial to approach vaping as a recreational activity or a means to enjoy the flavors and aromas of your chosen substances.

So, whether you're new to the world of vaping or a seasoned enthusiast, Elev8 is here to offer guidance and support. With our extensive knowledge and expertise, we can help you find the perfect vaporizer that suits your needs and preferences. Remember, vaping should always be approached responsibly and with an understanding of its limitations.

Vaporizer FAQ

In our world, a vaporizer is a device that heats up herbs or oils to their vaporizing temperatures making a vapor that you inhale.  Vaporizers can be desktop vape or portable vapes

There are desktops and portable dry herb vapes, and the Silver Surfer is the middle ground of the Elev8 vapes.  We feel if you are going to invest in a vaporizer, a desktop is the way to go.  

Today a vape is not a vaporizer in our world.  A dry herb vape heats oils so they vaporizer.  A "vape" today is a nicotine device that heats a liquid to give you vapor.
