Vaping has been around for over a decade now. As the industry has evolved, vaporizers have become significantly more technologically advanced. The most highly sought after devices offer users the maximum amount of control over how the unit performs. The ability to control the temperature of a vaporizer is one of the most sought after features. Instead of coming with the temperature setting pre-programmed, many units now come with the ability to adjust the temperature setting to customize the vaping experience. In this blog post, we will discuss how to optimally enjoy E-juice and concentrates without burning them and what the optimal setting is for these different mediums.
Concentrates
Many people like to vape concentrates because they provide a stronger hit. The potency is much stronger than other conventional smoking methods with some types of concentrates being as much as 80% more potent. Because the product is more concentrated, it also tends to deliver a much bolder flavor as well. You can vape concentrates using anything from a fully fledged e-rig to the simplest electronic vape pen. Wax concentrates will not vaporize until they reach at least 315 degrees, so it is important to have a device that you can set to at least that temperature. The optimal temperature for vaping concentrates ranges from 315 degrees on the low end to around 450 degrees on the upper end of the scale. The higher the temperature, the more intense the hit tends to feel. However, often times lower temperatures can make the hit feel smoother and more refreshing. Typically, the best flavors and most consistency will be found somewhere in the middle of this temperature range. As always, it depends on both the type of concentrate and the individual smoker’s preferences. Experimentation is encouraged, and different situations or experiences may call for adjusting the temperature settings.
E-Juice
E-liquids, which are commonly called vape juice, are very popular among the vaping community. These liquids are usually vaporized by using e-cigs, mods and vape tanks. Some mods and e-cigs come standard with a temperature control setting. Others are controlled via the wattage that is supplied to the coils. Higher wattage settings increase how quickly the liquid is vaporized. The speed at which the liquid is vaporized will effect how it tastes and how it feels on the throat. The temperature range for vaping juice is 212 degrees to 482 degrees Fahrenheit, which is much bigger than the range for concentrates. However, the bottom part of this range from about 212 degrees to 300 degrees is often thought to produce a weak and almost tasteless vapor. From about 390 to 420 degrees typically provides a cool but substantial hit. At around 450 degrees and above, the hit will usually induce a substantial amount of coughing. It will also begin to lose some of its flavor at this temperature as well. Much like with concentrates, experimentation is encouraged to induce maximum user satisfaction.
