How to use a Vaporizer

Using a vaporizer is a lot like learning how to drive a car with a clutch—it can take some time to learn. However, ask the many people who use medical marijuana and who have learned to use a vaporizer and they will tell you that it is well worth the extra time to learn. Using a vaporizer for your medical marijuana use is simple once you know the steps, and here they are:

Step 1: Heat up your vaporizer

The first step is to give the vaporizer the necessary heat in order to operate. For optimum performance, the vaporizer should be allowed to heat for three or four minutes. Usually, the best temperature is between 325 and 365 degrees.

Step 2: Grind the weed

Although this is an optional step, many people have noted that it makes the medical marijuana much easier to vaporize. Usually, anything that is going to be vaporized would be best if it is smaller. In order to do this you might need to get a piece of equipment to use as a grinder, and simply grind the marijuana up after loading it into the grinder. Simply twist it back and forth like any other situation.

Step 3: Put the glass tube into the vaporizer with the marijuana already loaded in

After doing this, rotate the wand and take a long deep breath for ten seconds, inhaling the marijuana into the diaphragm nice and slowly. This will take some practice but after a while you will be an expert at it.

Step 4: Repeat five to ten times

Consult with your doctor for the exact amount, be repeat this process for as long as he recommends. Using a vaporizer will become second nature after understanding this process. Although some may feel like this is too hard, for others a vaporizer can be advantageous because there is less propensity to cough or hack as there is with regular smoking. This is why using a vaporizing apparatus for medical marijuana use can be a wise idea. Enjoy your vaping and get relief from your ailments all at the same time.
