Best vaporiser for CBD flowers

Introductiong

CBD is becoming increasingly popular as a versatile addition to a conscious lifestyle. One of the most effective and safest ways to experience the positive effects of CBD flowers is to vaporise CBD flowers with a vaporizer. In this article, we explain how to get the most out of your CBD flowers - from choosing the best vaporiser for hemp flowers and CBD flowers to the optimal techniques for a satisfying experience.


Differences between vaporiser, vape and CBD vape

First of all, we should probably briefly explain what vaporisers for hemp flowers actually are and what distinguishes them from vapes and CBD vapes:

Vaporiser: These devices are used specifically to heat cannabis flowers without burning them. They offer a healthy alternative to smoking and enable the efficient release of cannabinoids and terpenes. The vaporisers can be filled with any hemp flowers and effectively release the desired substances without releasing the unwanted combustion substances.

Vape: Vapes, also known as e-cigarettes, heat up e-liquids, which usually contain nicotine. They are a popular alternative for smokers who want to switch to a less harmful method. They have become well known in recent years through the disposable products of the brand Elfbar. Vapes with normal e-liquid usually have nothing to do with CBD or cannabis.

CBD Vape: CBD vapes use special liquids that contain CBD and offer a discreet and efficient way to enjoy the calming effects of CBD. Unfortunately, the content of these liquids for CBD vapes, which often originate from China, is unclear and the quality is questionable.


Why should I even use a vaporiser for cannabis flowers?

Vaporising CBD is one of the safest methods of consuming cannabis, as it avoids the risks associated with smoking, such as the inhalation of tar and other combustion products (this is also stated by the FOPH in its fact sheet «Risks of smoking and vaporising cannabis» solid). At the same time, the absorption of cannabinoids and other active ingredients of the hemp flower is most efficient via the lungs (pulmonary absorption) as opposed to oral or sublingual ingestion. Studies have shown that vaporising CBD flowers is an effective method of absorbing the valuable active ingredients from cannabis flowers without the risks associated with burning the flowers. Compared to smoking CBD flowers, vaporisers for hemp flowers are therefore the less harmful alternative and are recommended by medical professionals worldwide.

Choosing the right vaporiser for cannabis flowers.

Choosing the right vaporiser is crucial to unlocking the full potential of your cannabis flowers. There are two main types of vaporisers: conduction and convection vaporisers. Conduction vaporisers heat the cannabis flowers directly on a heating plate, which is fast but can lead to uneven heating. Convection vaporizers heat the air around the cannabis flowers, which allows for more even vaporisation and better flavour. You will only find convection vaporisers in our range. Storz and Bickel brand vaporisers have proven themselves over the years and are also the only vaporisers approved for medical use in Europe. The extremely clean combustion and elimination and avoidance of harmful substances make the Storz and Bickel vaporiser are among the best on the market. They are also durable and, in our opinion, clearly justify the slightly higher price compared to cheap products that give up the ghost after just a few uses.

Selection and preparation of cannabis flowers for vaping in the vaporiser

The selection and preparation of your cannabis flowers are crucial for an effective and safe vaping experience. Here are some key points to consider:

Preparation: For optimal vaporisation, it is important to finely grind the CBD flowers. This improves heat circulation and enables efficient release of the active ingredients. The best way to do this is to use a Grinder.

Quality of the flowers: K-Tipp published a test of CBD flowers in Switzerland in July 2024. (You can find the article here here. ) The results are frightening. It is advisable to pay close attention to the quality of CBD flowers in order to avoid any contaminated or inferior CBD flowers. It is best to pay attention to organic cultivation and the absence of pesticides and synthetic fertilisers. High-quality flowers should be fresh, green and free from mould and unusual odours.

Health safety: Avoid low-quality hemp flowers that may contain harmful substances such as heavy metals or mould spores, as these pose health risks when vaporised. You can find detailed instructions on how to assess the quality of CBD flowers, for example here.

Storage: Store the flowers in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to preserve their potency and freshness.


Optimum temperature setting for vaporising cannabis flowers

Controlling the temperature is crucial when vaporising CBD flowers. Temperatures that are too low do not lead to the effective release of CBD, while temperatures that are too high can destroy valuable terpenes. An ideal temperature for vaporising CBD is between 180°C and 210°C. Within this range, most cannabinoids and terpenes are released efficiently without producing harmful combustion products.


Vaporisation techniques with the vaporiser

Do not fill your vaporizer too tightly, as this can obstruct the airflow and lead to uneven vaporisation. An even, loose filling is ideal. When inhaling, it is recommended to draw slowly and evenly to extract the vapour effectively. Make sure to clean the vaporiser regularly to ensure optimal function and hygiene.


Avoid common mistakes when vaporising CBD!

Another important aspect is the common mistakes that should be avoided to ensure the best vaporising experience. These include overfilling the vaporiser, which can block the airflow and lead to uneven heating. Another mistake is vaporising at too high a temperature, which not only destroys the cannabinoids and terpenes, but can also damage the vaporizer. In addition, it is often recommended to use oils in vaporisers, but this should be avoided at all costs. Heating oils can lead to the release of carcinogenic substances, especially if they are not specifically designed for vaporising. A moderate and considered approach to temperature selection and filling quantity is therefore essential for the optimal use of your vaporiser.


Where to buy vaporisers, vapes and CBD vapes in Switzerland?

In Switzerland, there are many different ways to purchase vaporisers, vapes and CBD vapes. Specialised shops for smoking equipment and cannabis accessories offer a wide selection of high-quality models and brands. Numerous online shops also offer a convenient way to select the desired device from an extensive range. For vapes and e-cigarettes, there are also a large number of sales outlets such as kiosks and supermarkets. In any case, make sure you buy vapes from trustworthy sources. There are also many counterfeits on the market that may contain harmful substances.


CONCLUSION on vaporisers for vaporising cannabis flowers

Vaporising hemp flowers is an excellent way to effectively use CBD or other cannabinoids if done correctly. By following the tips above, high quality CBD flowers and avoid common mistakes, you can ensure that you get the most out of your CBD flowers and your vaporiser. Careful handling and maintenance of your device will not only prolong its lifespan, but also improve your experience. Have fun!
