Intro  Whether you're trying to quit smoking tobacco or looking to pick up a fun hobby, the cost of vaping is a question on the minds of many beginners. It can be difficult to navigate the costs of different devices, as well as determining what your long-term costs will be. How much do vapes cost, and what other expenses can vapers expect to face ongoing as they enjoy the benefits of vaping? In this article, we'll do more than talk about how much vapes can cost. We'll also talk about the specific factors that can impact your budget, the price of particular vape parts, and the best ways to get the biggest bang for your buck when it comes to vaping. How Much Does Vaping Cost?  The cost of vaping is going to depend on the specific device you choose and what you decide to vape. It can even come down to how you vape, so you can understand how it can be difficult to nail down a price.  For now, let's take a look at different vaping devices that could impact your overall costs: Disposable Vapes  While disposable vapes are very convenient, they will also usually be your most expensive option for vaping. After all, you're buying an entire vaporizer when you need to refuel, so your costs will be consistently high. If being cost-effective is one of your priorities, disposable vapes will be a poor choice.  Disposable vapes are typically geared towards new entrants to vaping or tourists. In general, you can expect disposable nicotine vapes to cost $5-15 apiece and cannabis vapes to cost $30 - 60 apiece. Prices will vary depending on specific strength and brand. Disposable Cartridges  Disposable, prefilled cartridges will be more cost-effective than disposable vapes. You keep and reuse your battery, so you're only buying cartridges as needed. It's less wasteful and more budget-friendly. Disposable, prefilled cartridges usually range from $1-5 apiece, with prefilled cannabis cartridges costing $15 - $40.  Again, prices will vary depending on the specific brand and strength of the cartridge you've chosen. Refillable Vape Kits  The most cost-effective way to vape is to have a permanent vaping device (like a box mod with a refillable tank) and to buy bottles of vape juice. You'll pay more upfront for the device (which can range from $20 to several hundred dollars, depending on your specific setup), but your long-term costs will be much lower. Buying vape juice by the bottle is extremely cost-effective. For example, 60mg of vape juice will range between $10-$20, but a disposable vape pen with 5mg of e-liquid could cost close to the same amount. The downside of refillable vape kits (like box mods) requires regular maintenance to perform long-term. If you don't like to tinker or play with your vaporizers, the cost savings may not be with the time investment for you. Dry Herb and Concentrate Vape Kits  For those that prefer to vape concentrates or dry herbs, there are a wide variety of devices that are ready to use out of the box. Unlike vape juice kits, dry herb and concentrate vapes require far less maintenance to maintain a high-end vaping experience. If you want to enjoy CBD or THC in a cost-effective way, then a reusable dry herb or concentrate vape is a great choice!  Factors that Impact Cost  There are a lot of different facts that will impact your overall vaping cost, even after you have decided what method of vaping best fits your needs: What Are You Vaping?  The substance you have chosen to vape will impact your budget. Wax concentrate and e-liquid vapes tend to have more budget-friendly designs. Dry herb vapes (since they need a large heating chamber) tend to run more expensive, even when considering off-brand devices or low-end devices.  Plan on vaping more than one substance? Then you'll need to invest in a device that is designed to handle more than one category of vape material. Generally, this requires more specialty components to be built into the vape, which will raise the front-end cost of the device you choose. Convection vs. Conduction If using a dry herb vaporizer, how it heats cannabis will affect the cost. Convection vapes (that use hot air to evenly bake dry herbs) usually require larger heating chambers that are lined with a heating element. The larger surface area required in a convection vape increases component costs, which will usually make these devices more expensive. Conduction vapes (which rely on direct contact with a heating element to produce vapor) require less surface area for heating, which allows them to be less expensive. Of course, they will heat less evenly and may provide a sub-part vaping experience, so keep that in mind if you plan to vape cannabis seriously.   Battery Capacity  Batteries eventually lose their ability to recharge, which means batteries with higher capacities will have a longer lifespan. High-end devices sometimes allow the batteries to be replaced, which will save you from needing to buy a completely new device. The higher the capacity the battery has (measured in mAh), the more expensive the battery will typically be upfront.  Preferred Accessories  If you plan on using accessories with your vaping device, you'll want to be sure to include their price in your budget. Accessories include spare mesh screens, heating coils, wicks, specialty mouthpieces, and more. What accessories you can use depends on the type of vape you have, though most mid to high-end devices have some accessories to choose from. If you are brand new to vaping, then you may want to consider a vaping kit. These kits will not only include the device but will include some extra accessories (which are often screens, heating coils, and/or cleaning tools). You'll usually get a bit of a discount when compared to buying these accessories separately.  Additional Costs Associated With Vaping  There are a few other niche items that you may want to consider when creating a vape budget. While not all devices will need these, you should keep them in mind in case you fall in love with a device that does require it: Spare Battery or Specialty Charger  Most vapes are charged with a micro-USB cable, which is usually included with the device. Depending on what kind of device you choose, you may want to buy an additional battery or a specialty charger to avoid untimely vaping interruptions.  Cleaning Solutions and Tools  You need to keep your vape clean, and this is especially true for concentrate and dry herb vapes. Over time, the resin from the wax and cannabis will build up and can impact the flavor of the vapor being produced. There are some specialty cleaners available, though a cotton swab with rubbing alcohol is usually enough to keep your devices clean.  Specialty Vape Oils  E-liquids tend to be the most cost-effective substance to vape. If you are interested in vaping CBD or THC oils, you'll need to budget for a much higher price. Prefilled oil cartridges range in price (usually around $20-75, depending on strength and brand). Knowing that you're vaping more expensive oils may influence how much you're willing to pay upfront for a device.  Replacement Parts  If you plan to invest in a high-end device, then you'll need to consider the cost of replacement components. While usually inexpensive, common replacement components can be more expensive (depending on the brand and quality of what you buy).  For example, heating coils for concentrate pens can be made from several kinds of materials, like ceramic, quartz, or titanium. Each of those materials has a different cost, with ceramic and titanium being the most expensive. If you want to use high-end components in a high-end device, be sure to budget for it! How Much Are Vape Coils?  Vape coils are a common heating element used in box mods or concentrate vaporizers. Coils are usually inexpensive (capping out at around $5 a coil), but how much you vape will impact how often coils need to be replaced. If you plan to heavily vape every day, you may need to replace your coil weekly, though most users can use a single coil for several weeks.  How Much Are Vape Pens?  Vape pens are a great choice for those who want to avoid the waste of disposable vapes but don't want to deal with the maintenance required in a box mod setup. Vape pens can use prefilled cartridges or refillable cartridges, though most can't handle a vape tank that is common on box mods.  Vape pens have a broad range, starting as low as $5 and topping out at around $30-40. If you want a device with a full suite of features (like precision temperature adjustment), you'll begin looking at box mod setups.  Cost of CBD Vaping  Many people look to vaping to take advantage of the numerous health benefits that vaping CBD may provide. Since extracting CBD requires more processing than other additives (like nicotine), CBD vape juice and oils are comparatively more expensive.  CBD oil cartridges and bottles of vape juice range from $20-75, depending on the brand and the concentration. The price is much higher than nicotine-infused vape juice, though the potential health benefits often make it worth the cost.  What about Advanced Vapers?  For the majority of vapers, the upfront device cost, accessories, basic components, and what you want to vape will be the biggest factors that determine how much it costs to vape. However, advanced vapers (particularly those that enjoy vaping e-liquids) may consider more advanced components, which will impact the price of their vape.  Sub-Ohm Vaping  Sub-ohm tanks can get expensive quickly. These are specialty vape tanks that have an electrical resistance lower than 1ohm. This means that a lot of electrical currents can flow at once, which allows sub-ohm tanks to produce an enormous amount of vapor in a very short amount of time. These tanks typically range between $30-100 (and this is without a battery). You can usually buy tanks in a kit that includes a battery, and you can expect some kind of bundled discount. However, some tanks are sold as individual items only, and their price can often dwarf entire vaping devices.  Rebuildable Atomizers and Mechanical Mods  Advanced vapers may consider other specialty tanks, too. Rebuildable Atomizers (or RBAs) offer a premium e-liquid vaping experience, but they require a lot of hands-on setup and maintenance. You'll also be buying internal components (like coils and wicks), which can add up pretty fast if you're not careful! Mechanical mods are vape batteries that connect directly to the vape tank without a chip-set interface. This means it's easier to blast power into your tank (and mechanical mods are generally less expensive). However, they require precision knowledge of what your tank can and cannot handle. Beginners can easily burn out a vape tank by using a mechanical mod, so it's best to leave accessories like that to veteran vapers.  High Coil and Vape Juice Cost Most advanced vapers love making big vape clouds, which require a lot of vape juice. The more e-liquid you vape through, the more you'll have to buy. You'll also need to remember to replace components like heating coils more regularly since you're working your device so much and so hard.  How to Save Money on Vaping  We've talked about the different factors that can increase your vaping costs, but now it's time to talk about how to keep costs low!  Avoid Disposables  If you have the option to avoid disposable vapes or disposable cartridges, doing so will keep your vaping costs down. Buying e-liquids by the bottle and using refillable tanks is vastly easier on your wallet than sticking to disposables. It's easy to find nicotine-infused or CBD vape juices, though CBD and THC oils are usually only sold as prefilled, disposable cartridges.  Build-It-Yourself Tanks  If you're using an RBA tank, taking the DIY approach to certain components can save you a lot of money. For example, you can buy wire and make your own heating coils instead of buying them prefabricated, and you can buy wick material in bulk. It takes a significant time investment for this kind of hobby, but you see savings immediately! Make Your Own E-Liquid  For hardcore hobbyists, you can make your own e-liquid to save on buying from a store. If you're interested in trying, we recommend following some established recipes before venturing off on your own. You should always make sure that any component you put in a homemade e-liquid is safe for vaping.  Which Vape Should I Buy?  The vape you should buy is the device that's the best compromise between what you want and what you can afford. If you value convenience above all else (and a tight budget isn't a concern), then you may decide to stick to disposables. If you want to be more budget-conscious, you may decide to invest in a reusable vape battery and tank while buying bottles of e-liquid.  We recommend following these steps when deciding what kind of vape to buy: Determine your budget Decide what to vape Identify needs or wants Locate the device that best fits all three If you're brand new to vaping, you may want to try some budget-friendly products just to experiment. Once you know for sure what you're looking for, you can more comfortably invest in a more expensive product that better fits your vaping needs.  Summary  There are a surprising number of factors that can impact your vaping costs. It's why it's important to take the time to research different products and identify what you really want or need out of a vaping device. Remember, the most cost-effective option may not be your best option. Time investments should be considered just as much as financial ones!

  Vaping dry herbs, especially weed, has grown in popularity among former smokers and vapers alike. For traditional e-juice enthusiasts, vaping weed offers a more authentic experience with dry herbs. For traditional smokers, vaping offers a more accessible, less messy, and more discrete experience. Vaping dry herbs are here to stay.    Of course, there's more to the story than just vaping weed. Beginners will quickly learn that the process is nuanced, and different temperatures provide very different vaping experiences, even with the same kind of dry herb being used. Is there an optimal temperature for vaping weed, and if so, what is the best heat setting?  We tackle these questions and more in the article below. You'll learn about what to expect from vaping weed at different temperatures, why different temperatures provide different vaping experiences and the best devices for precision heat control.  What's the Best Temperature for Vaping Weed?   Many users want to know what’s the best temp to vape weed? It’s a hard question to answer. Why? Because every consumer has their own unique sweet spot that they prefer, just like it is the case with individual taste and desired effects.  Since the temperature directly affects how flavorful a hit may be, and the type of effects it will deliver, it’s essential to find the best temp to vape weed for your unique preferences. To help, it’s best to know that the standard range of temperatures is 320°F (160°C) to 450 (230°C).  To learn more about the best temp to vape weed in that range, here’s a breakdown of their distinct characteristics:  320°F (160°C) – 360°F (180°C): A light effect on the mental state and high levels of flavor. 360°F (180°C) – 390°F (200°C): Noticeable effects on the body and optimal levels of flavor.  390°F (200°C) – 450°F (230°C): Very strong effects on the body and low levels of flavor.  Note: the temperature ranges provided are estimates which can vary depending on the nature of your specific bud. Fresh weed that is still moist may not vaporize according to these estimates because moisture is still present. If you want to target certain cannabinoids or terpenes precisely, it's best to make sure your weed is completely dry.  Vaping Temperature Chart Are you looking for an easy reference for cannabinoid and terpene boiling points? Take a look below! You'll find the most prominent cannabinoids and terpenes found in weed and when you can expect them to make an appearance in your vapor! Remember, not all strains have all cannabinoids or terpenes, and these temperatures are estimates. Dryer weed will follow these estimates more closely, so if accuracy is a priority, make sure you let your weed properly dry before vaping. Temperature Guide for Cannabinoids Temperature Guide for Terpenes   Source: National Library of Medicine, Leafly, and Steep Hill Dry Herb Vaporizers with the Most Accurate Temperature Control If you've already started shopping for dry herb vaporizers, you've likely noticed that they essentially all have some measure of temperature control. While this will allow you to alter the heat settings from low to high, it is not guaranteed that the temperature is correct.  Not all vaporizers are equal, and this is especially true for dry herb vaporizers. Certain styles of vapes are just better at providing precision heating control. While you're shopping, look for the following characteristics: Convection heating (not conduction. Conduction vapes heat dry herb unevenly, so it's impossible to accurately target specific cannabinoids and terpenes.) Digital display of set temperature, either on the device or through a connected app Sold directly from the manufacturer (or is a trusted brand from a reliable retailer) If your vaporizer has these qualities, then it likely is going to provide an accurate temperature reading. If you're serious about precision heating control to target specific terpenes and cannabinoids, then we recommend starting with the Firefly 2+. It uses advanced dynamic convection technology, pairs with a computer or phone for precision heat settings, and is sold by Firefly, a leading premium brand in the vaping world.  Specific Cannabis Compounds, Their Boiling Points, and Effects As you get more experienced with vaping weed (or if you are vaping weed for specific medicinal purposes), you may be interested in targeting particular cannabinoids and terpenes when you vape. Below, you'll find an easy reference of what cannabis compounds to expect depending on what temperature you vape at: Cannabinoids and Terpenes at 246 - 319F (119 - 159C) You'll vaporize cannabidiolic acid (CBDa), Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCa), and cannabigerol (CBG). None of these cannabinoids are psychoactive (so you won't get a traditional high), but they can treat inflammation, depression, anxiety, and nausea. Early research suggests CBG may treat a variety of health conditions, similar to CBD. As for terpenes, beta-Caryophyllene is the most prevalent terpene you'll activate at this low temperature. It is reported to have pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties potentially. If you need to vape all day to manage pain or anxiety, this is a great temperature to choose. You'll experience little to no high at this range.  Cannabinoids and Terpenes at 320 - 350F (160 - 177C) THC and CBD will begin to boil at this temperature. The CBD will provide more potent anti-inflammatory and anti-anxiety, and depression benefits, while the THC will give the typical high marijuana. You'll also start to feel more potent pain-relieving and anti-nausea qualities in this range. You'll start to activate cannabichromene (CBC). It is the second most common cannabinoid found in weed, coming in behind THC. While more abundant, it's not as potent as a standalone cannabinoid like CBD is, but the two share similar properties (including anti-inflammatory benefits and depression and anxiety regulation).  This temperature won't give you the full strength of these cannabinoids. Instead, it will provide you with just a little taste of the experience they provide. As you move to higher temperatures, your vapor will have a much higher concentration of cannabinoids and terpenes. This is especially true for THC, CBD, and CBC, which entirely release at much higher temperatures.  You'll also activate several more terpenes when vaping within this temperature range, including alpha-pinene, beta-myrcene, and limonene. Their effects vary, depending on their specific concentrations within one particular strain, but they include stress relief, anti-anxiety, euphoria, and relaxation.  Cannabinoids and Terpenes at 351 - 400F (177 - 204C) Along with higher CBD, THC, and CBC concentrations, you'll start to pick up on cannabinol (CBN). This cannabinoid has a potent sedation effect, so it may be a great choice to target if you have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. Research also suggests cannabinol may be effective at treating and preventing certain kinds of cancer. Not only will you get a more potent hit of the other terpenes previously mentioned, but you'll also start to activate linalool. Linalool may be an excellent choice for treating depression or anxiety. If lower vaping temperatures aren't producing the desired effect you want, then cranking it up to activate linalool might be a great choice.  Cannabinoids and Terpenes at 401 - 430F (205 - 221C) You're not only going to get a taste of all the cannabinoids present, but you will get a quick and potent extraction from your weed. That means a single hit at this temperature will be far more powerful than even several hits at some of the earlier, cooler temperatures.    The cannabinoids with the highest boiling points will finally make their full appearance. Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCv) and CBC will be at their strongest in this temperature range. THCv can help prevent panic attacks and act as an appetite suppressant, helping counteract the munchies associated with other cannabinoids.  Along with the other terpenes we've already mentioned, you'll also get total extraction of terpineol, pulegone, and quercetin. Their possible effects range from stronger sedation to anticonvulsants. You're also getting a more potent blast of the other terpenes present, which will help give you the full-spectrum high of the strain you are vaping. Final Thoughts on the Best Vape Temperatures for Weed Vaping weed is one of the best ways to enjoy the potent effects of your favorite strains. Remember, not all strains have all cannabinoids and terpenes present or in the same concentrations. Most legal dispensaries will have this information available if you're trying to target a specific cannabis compound, so be sure to ask when you go shopping! Also, the research on how cannabinoids and terpenes affect the human body is still in the early stages. This means that we're still learning how these compounds affect the body and how different combinations of different compounds can produce other effects. Each person reacts to different cannabinoids and terpenes differently; consider this article a general guide.  Finally, the quality of the vape you choose will dramatically impact your ability to target specific compounds. If you're serious about precision, accurate heat settings that allow for cannabinoids and terpenes to be targeted, then we recommend starting with the Firefly 2+.  It is made with premium materials, features fantastic convection heating technology, and can pair with a computer or smartphone for precision heat control down to a single degree. There's a reason the New York Times described this device as producing vapor "tastier, cooler, and frankly, stronger (than) all of the models we tested." You'll have to experience it yourself to see why! SHOP NOW

When vapers are serious about dry herb vaping, it's common to start looking at higher-end vaping devices. More advanced devices offer more impressive battery life, larger dry herb capacity, and a more satisfying vaping experience. You'll still find several options to choose from in the high-end vaporizer market, with each model offering unique advantages and overall experiences.  Two of the most popular dry herb vapes available today are the Firefly 2+ and the Crafty+, made by Stroz and Bickel. While both devices offer excellent vaping experiences when compared to lower-end devices, there are noticeable differences when examining a Crafty+ vs. Firefly 2+ comparison.  Curious about the differences? Below, we'll take a close look at each device, comparing features, performance, ease of use, and even their respective warranties! If you've been trying to decide between these two devices, you owe it to yourself to see how they compare below. FIREFLY 2 PLUS VS CRAFTY We'll get into some of the more specific details, but the biggest difference between the Firefly 2+ and the Crafty+ is how they heat dry herbs and their overall build. These will also be the differences that are most likely to impact which device you ultimately choose. The Crafty+ uses a standard heating mechanism, which is a mixture of convection and conduction heating. Dry herbs are heated by both flowing, hot air (convection) and are also heated by direct contact with a heating element.  The Firefly 2+ uses proprietary dynamic convection heating, which is different than a standard convection vape. Not only is hot air used to create vapor, but the unique technology inside the Firefly 2+ offers more precise temperature control to target and enjoy all cannabinoids and terpenes in the dry herb. Heating Speed It's a common problem for dry herb vape beginners to be unsure when they should take a hit. After all, most dry herb vapes take time to heat up and begin producing vapor. For example, the Crafty+ will take around a minute to reach temperature and actually produce vapor.  The Firefly 2+ is one of the few devices on the market that avoids this problem entirely. It uses on-demand heating, which means you'll go from a completely powered-down device to taking hits of vapor in around five seconds. It's about as fast as vaping e-liquids, and beginners will enjoy avoiding the vaping delay. Build Differences The other significant difference between these two devices is their overall build. The Firefly 2+ uses a full metal build for the exterior, while the Crafty+ uses a plastic mold to house internal components. We'll talk a bit later as to why the overall build quality is important when choosing a dry herb vape.  Source: https://craftyvape.org/ Design  Each of these devices takes a completely different approach to the overall design. The Crafty+ was made as a smaller version of the Mighty, so it has a focus of being more compact and easier to handle. However, true to the Storz & Bickel brand, the Crafty+ offers a tremendous amount of power, especially when you consider that it's meant to be smaller and easier to travel with. However, the Crafty+ has a rather bulky, inelegant design (a common criticism of the overall brand), and this is a point where the Firefly 2+ shines. It makes use of its all-metal finish to provide a sleek, satisfying aesthetic, and its design is naturally more discreet than the Crafty+.  Good Design Award The design philosophy behind Firefly vapes is so finely tuned that it won the prestigious Good Design Award in 2019. This award is given to products that "go above and beyond ordinary consumer product design." While this specific award was for our original Firefly vape, the Firefly 2+ takes that original design philosophy and adds some excellent performance updates.  Firefly was the only vape brand to win this award in 2019, which should give you an idea of how much thought was put into the aesthetic design. Considering that Firefly was founded by a former Apple product designer, it shouldn't come as a surprise that Firefly is laser focused on appealing, functional aesthetics.  Dry Herb and Cannabis Concentrates If you're interested in a hybrid device that can handle both dry herbs and cannabis concentrates, you're in luck! Both the Firefly 2+ and the Crafty+ are designed with both substances in mind, and each brand has a reputation of handling concentrates very well.  With that said, overall flavor quality is not the same, and we'll touch a bit on that later in this article. Ease of Use   Vapers will find that both the Firefly 2+ and the Crafty+ are easy to use. Both devices load easily, and both devices use a companion app to provide precision heating options. Neither device offers advanced features that would be challenging for a user to learn, so the majority of vapers will enjoy an easy experience with either device.  The Firefly 2+ uses touch sensors to activate heating on the device. While this is a great safety feature (it's almost impossible to accidentally turn it on), some users struggle to get used to touching sensors on each side of the device to fire. The vast majority of users quickly get used to this feature, but beginners to the device should keep it in mind when they first vape.  Cleaning While the actual vaping portion for each device is pretty easy, cleaning the devices offers a very different take. The Firefly 2+ is very simple to clean. The metal top lid is easily removed, and a dry microfiber cloth (or an isopropyl alcohol wipe) is generally all you need to get your device clean and shiny.  The Crafty+ is far more challenging to clean. The entire device needs to be disassembled for cleaning, and each component needs to be carefully scrubbed. For certain components, you may need to soak them in a cleaning solution (like rubbing alcohol) to make sure the device is completely clean. For beginners, the cleaning process may feel a bit daunting.  If you find that you struggle to keep up with cleaning maintenance (or are intimidated by taking your device apart), then the cleaning requirements of the Crafty+ may be a deal-breaker for you.  Vapor Quality and Taste   The Firefly 2+ simply cannot be beaten in terms of overall flavor and vapor quality. Its unique dynamic convection technology, exceptional airflow, and borosilicate glass vapor path means that vapor is quickly produced, maintains authentic, rich flavor, and is consistently cool and smooth. The performance holds up regardless of if dry herbs or concentrates are being used.  The Crafty+ also offers great-tasting vapor and was one of the first brands to focus on quality vapor taste.  It uses hybrid heating technology to produce a ton of vapor, and hits from the device are generally tasty and smooth. However, towards the end of your bowl, it's common to get harsher, hot hits (which results from the use of conduction heating technology).  Plastic Taste Remember when we mentioned that build materials in a vape were important? Any dry herb vape that uses a large number of plastic components runs the risk of plastic flavor leaching into the vapor. While the Crafty+ seems to avoid this problem most of the time, there are still informal reports of users struggling to get rid of the plastic flavor. You can usually get rid of the plastic taste by performing "burn-offs" (when the device is heated without any dry herbs inside). However, flavor chasers will want to keep this in mind when deciding which dry herb vape to purchase.  Manufacturing Quality  We mentioned earlier that one of the biggest criticisms of the Crafty+ is its plastic, bulky design. With that in mind, the rest of the device's build is excellent, and the Crafty+ has a solid reputation for long-lasting performance.  The Firefly 2+ has exceptional build quality, which is one of the primary factors for producing consistently great tasting vapor. The modern-looking build, magnetic bowl cover, and glass vapor path all come together to provide a satisfying visual appeal that produces fantastic results.  Portability  You may be surprised to hear that neither device is particularly portable. Both are fairly large and, compared to devices specifically designed for incognito travel or use, these devices seem bulky. If you want a powerful device that produces great-tasting vapor, you'll usually sacrifice a bit on the size of the device.  Having said that, when you compare the two, the Crafty+ is larger and bulkier than the Firefly 2+. As we said earlier, the Crafty+ was designed as a more portable alternative to the Mighty (which it is), but when compared to the Firefly 2+, it's still far less compact. The Firefly 2+ will fit into the palm of some users' hands, and you'll find that it's noticeably trimmer than the Crafty+. Still, you'll need to keep in mind that neither of these devices has portability as a primary concern, which is common for high-end dry herb vapes.  Device Size To give you a better idea of how their sizes differ, take a look at the specifications of each device: Crafty+ Height: 4.4in (11.1cm) Depth: 1.3in (3.2cm) Width: 2.3in (5.7cm) Weight: 5oz (141g) Firefly 2+ Height: 5.1in (13cm) Depth: 0.95in (2.4cm) Width: 1.4in (3.5cm) Weight: 4.9oz (140g) Battery Life   Both devices have a fairly modest battery life, which will typically last around 45 minutes for each device. However, the Firefly 2+ has some significant advantages in its design that helps to extend single-session use. You can remove and replace the battery in the Firefly 2+, which means, you can effectively double your vaping time by switching batteries. Over time, as batteries begin to fail, you can purchase replacement batteries without needing to purchase an all-new device.  The Crafty+ sports an internal battery, which means once it runs out of juice, you'll need to wait to charge it back up. You also won't have the option to replace the battery as its discharge time decreases with extended use.  Should you find yourself with either device and not enough charge to vape, both the Firefly 2+ and the Crafty+ support pass-through charging, so you can still enjoy a vape session while you have the device plugged in and charging! Temperature Flexibility  While the Firefly 2+ and the Crafty+ offer some manual temperature adjustments on the device, each will require the companion app for access to more precise temperature settings. On the Firefly, you can manually adjust the temperature in 20 degree portions, while the Crafty+ allows access to three preset temperatures and the option to "boost" the heat for a big hit of vapor. The Crafty+ supports vaping between 104-410F (40-210C), which is a wide range that will vaporize nearly all cannabinoids. The Firefly 2+ supports vaping between 200F-500F (93-260C), which allows it to vaporize all cannabinoids and allows it to provide a fantastic concentrated vaping experience.  The Crafty+ can also vaporize concentrates, but the low max temperature may be too low for seasoned concentrate enthusiasts.  Accessories  If you look at what comes with each device, the Crafty+ will give you a little more right out of the box. Inside the box, you'll get: Micro-USB charger Concentrate vaping pad Extra mesh screens Extra O-rings Cleaning brush Grinder Filling tool With the Firefly 2+, you'll get: USB 3.0 Charger Charging dock  Concentrate vaping pad 3 rubbing alcohol wipes Some of the extras in the Crafty+ aren't compatible with the Firefly 2+ (for example, the Firefly 2+ doesn't use O-rings). The addition of the grinder and filling tool with the Crafty+ may appeal to beginner vapers who haven't already bought those companion accessories.  Price There is a significant price difference between these two devices (which is one of the reasons the Crafty+ offers a more robust accessory offering). The Crafty+ will cost you €298 (about $346), while the Firefly 2+ is $249.95 (or about €214).  It may feel like you're getting more bang for your buck with the Crafty+, but you're essentially "pre-paying" for the extra accessories. Depending on what specific grinder and related accessories come with the Crafty+, you may be end up paying a premium for accessories you could have bought separately at a better price point.  Warranty   Finally, each device offers a two-year warranty, and Storz and Bickel will give you an extra year if you register the device with them. Aside from that, there isn't much difference between the warranty coverage provided for each device.   Conclusion   Both the Firefly 2+ and Crafty+ offer above-average dry herb vaping experiences. Let's look at a summary of their strengths and weaknesses. Firefly 2+ Pros and Cons Superior vapor flavor Convection-only heating Higher build quality Higher max temperature for concentrates Easier cleaning Dual sensors can trip up beginners Crafty+ Pros and Cons Excellent vapor flavor and production Larger heating chamber for dry herbs Hybrid convection and conduction heating Can be difficult to remove the plastic taste from new devices Bulkier and heavier design Complicated cleaning process Which device is right for you will depend on your specific preferences and needs.

Nothing is worse than looking forward to a tasty mouthful of vapor only to be met with a nasty, burnt flavor meeting your taste buds. A vape that tastes burnt can ruin a vape session and can be infuriating to fix. Many vape users give up trying to resolve the issue and end up buying a completely new device, which can be a needless and hefty expense.  Trying to pinpoint why a vape tastes burnt can be a chore because different vapes will taste burnt for various reasons. A few questions you’ll need to determine to begin troubleshooting the root cause, include: Are you using oil, dry herb, or a wax vape? Does your vape have a disposable design, is your cartridge refillable, or do you have a high-end box mod setup? If you're new to vaping, it can feel impossible to diagnose the issue, let alone resolve it.  Fortunately, you don't have to worry about figuring out the problem on your own! The experts are here to discuss the most common reasons your vape tastes burnt and the best strategies to follow to fix the issue. We'll also talk about when it's time to replace your device. Burnt Hits vs. Dry Hits Before determining why your vape creates a burnt flavor, you need to determine that what you're experiencing is a burnt hit. Dry hits are often confused with burnt hits, but they are very different experiences that have very different solutions.  A dry hit is the precursor to a burnt hit. Dry hits are caused by a dry wick, which happens when your vape tank or cartridge is running low on vape juice or THC concentrate. You may suddenly realize that your pen is creating less vapor than usual, the traditional flavor of your vape juice is weaker, or there's a strange, subtle flavor that was not previously present.  The solution to a dry hit is simple. Just add more vape juice or THC concentrate! Refilling the vape tank will re-saturate the wick, which will allow your vape to produce vapor normally. If you're using a disposable oil cartridge or disposable vape, a dry hit signifies that you need to buy a new disposable.  If you take too many dry hits from a vape pen, you will eventually start getting burnt hits, which are less than pleasant. Heed the warning of the dry hit and refill your vape tank or replace the disposable as soon as you can.  Why Does Your Vape Taste Burnt?  It can be confusing and frustrating when your vape tastes burnt, out of nowhere. So why do vapes taste burnt, and how can you fix it or avoid it from happening in the future?  First and foremost, don’t get too stressed when your vape tastes burnt, as it’s more common than you think. Plus, you can easily fix the problem.  Vapes that taste burnt typically come from the atomizer coil’s wick being burned up and dried out. When a dried-out coil heats up, it’s only natural that it’ll produce an unpleasant, burnt taste since the wick that’s supposed to heat up the flower you’re trying to consume itself burns.  Also, you might experience a vape tasting burnt when the wick isn’t getting fully saturated by the concentrate. Instead of heating up the concentrate, the wick will char itself, which produces a hit that tastes like burning, or what’s known as a ‘dry hit’.  Too Much Wattage Pumping in too much power too quickly is a quick way to burn your wick, even if vape juice is present. This is usually an issue with box mod-style vapes, which sport a powerful battery that can output a massive amount of power. To avoid this issue, start at a low power setting and work your way up until you find that vaping sweet spot. Vaping Too Much Too Quickly If you are taking large drags back-to-back, you may exhaust the vape juice that was soaked into your wick. If you vape faster than the wick can draw up vape juice, you'll end up burning the wick, resulting in a scorched flavor.  Vaping the Wrong Kind of E-liquid Different vape tanks are built to handle different kinds of vape juice. High vegetable glycerin (VG) vape juices are thicker and contain more sugar than other vape juice mixes. The result can be a clogged juice or vapor path, preventing vape juice from flowing freely, resulting in the vape juice scorching.  Old or Scorched Coils If you have a refillable vape tank, you may taste a consistent scorched flavor because your coils are old. All vape tanks will eventually need their coils replaced (or the entire tank replaced), as the march of time is relentless upon all things. If you have confirmed your wick is not scorched and note that you have plenty of vape juice and still taste a burnt flavor, it is time to replace the coils.  If your vape tank does not have replaceable coils, you'll need to buy a new vape tank. Most rebuildable atomizers (RBA) can exchange coils, though this feature is rare among disposable cartridges or disposable vapes.  What's the Best Way to Prevent Burnt Hits? Now that we know what causes burnt hits, it's time to learn how to prevent them in the first place. Remember, your primary goal is to keep the wick from burning, and there are several ways to do so. Keep Your Vape Tank Filled The most common reason wicks get burnt is that there isn't enough vape juice in your vape tank. Regularly filling the tank before it starts to get empty is the easiest, most straightforward strategy to keeping your wick protected and avoiding burnt hits.  Prime Your Coils If you use a vape tank that allows you to replace your wick, you should have the ability to prime your coils. This means you pre-soak your wick manually before turning your vape pen on and letting it sit for around 10 minutes. The steps to priming your coils will vary from product to product, so be sure to study the accompanying manuals that come with your vaping equipment.  Avoid Installing Too Much Wick Material Overstuffing your coils with too much cotton or other material is an easy way to get burnt hits. Too much wick material means your wick will have a tough time becoming completely saturated, which means there will always be a part of the wick exposed to direct heat. This increases the chance that you burn your wick, which creates a scorched flavor.    Ensure you follow the manufacturer's instructions on what kind of wick to use and how much material to use.  Use the Right Vape Battery with the Right Vape Tank Even if a vape tank can physically attach to a vape battery, this doesn't mean they are genuinely compatible. If you have a vape battery that is extremely powerful connected to a vape tank with modest power requirements, it will be very easy to fry your coils. This ruins your vape tank since there is no way to unfry scorched coils.  As we said before, it's a good rule of thumb to start with a low power setting when using a vape tank for the first time and work your way up. We recommend that beginners buy vape kits (vape batteries paired with an ideal vape tank) to avoid running into incompatible equipment.  Regularly Replace Your Vape Coils If you are using an RBA-style vape tank, regularly replacing the coils on a set schedule is a fantastic way to avoid getting nasty, scorched hits. It's the same idea as getting new tires before you get a flat. Replace your coils when you know they are close to the end of their life but before they begin to fail and produce burnt nasty-tasting hits.  Other Ways to Avoid Burnt Hits There are a variety of different ways to avoid burnt hits, depending on your vaping device. While less common, the following techniques could help prevent getting the occasional nasty burnt hit.  Use the Right Vape Juice Most vape devices are not built to handle high concentrations of VG (likewise, the vast majority of vape juice available has at least a 1:1 ratio of VG and propylene glycol (PG). This ratio will rarely cause issues for your vape tank, nor will vape juices with higher concentrations of PG.  Use a Disposable Vape The likelihood of you getting burnt hits from a disposable vape are meager (unless the device has some kind of defect). If you don't like the idea of having to constantly maintain your vape tank, consider switching to disposables, like the Firefly Mini. The battery is designed for the attached cartridge and is charged with enough power to run out at about the same time the oil does. Switch to Dry Herb Vaping Dry herb vapes that use convection heating will rarely if ever, give nasty, scorched hits. The reason for this is the temperature of the heating chamber is never high enough to cause combustion, so you never actually "burn" the dry herb or marijuana inside. You will eventually exhaust the dry herb, but you won't ever get a burnt hit.  If you like the idea of vaping dry herbs with a high-quality device to avoid burnt hits, then looking at the Firefly 2+ is a great place to start shopping.  How Can We Stop Our Coils From Burning Out? Unfortunately, all coils will eventually burn out. Though you can't stave off the certainty of entropy, there are a few steps you can follow to stretch the life of your coils as much as possible. Remember, you need to regularly replace your coils (or eventually replace your vape tank) regardless of whether you follow these steps! Avoid Using Too Much Power Too Quickly If you crank your vape to the highest possible temperature the first time you use a vape tank, you run a very good chance you will roast your coils. Even if the coils are rated for the temperature level you want to use, pushing a surge of power through a cold coil could ruin the sensitive electronics involved. Start slow and work your way up to your ideal temperature! This is especially true if you were storing your vape in an abnormally cold location. Of course, you shouldn't be keeping your device in extreme temperature conditions anyway. Avoid Overusing High-VG Vape Juices VG juices are generally very thick and have high sugar content. Over time, this will create buildup on your coils more quickly than other juice ratios, which will cut the life of your coils short. If you are sold on vaping high-VG e-liquids, be sure to buy a vape tank that is specifically designed to handle the unique properties VG juices have.  Clean Your Coils Since residue buildup is a common culprit for coils burning out, keeping coils clean is a great way to extend their life. Again, not all coils can be cleaned (especially if your cartridge is disposable or the vape tank isn't designed to be disassembled), but for those that can, clean them! Most coils follow a simple cleaning process of allowing them to cool and using a cotton swab soaked in rubbing alcohol to gently rub off residue. Your specific vape tank may have unique steps for coil cleaning, so be sure to follow the detailed instructions provided by the manufacturer.  Refill Regularly As we have mentioned, the absolute best thing you can do to avoid getting burnt hits is to regularly refill your vape juice tank. Many tanks are designed specifically for easy refilling, which may be attractive if you hate the idea of having to periodically clean up vape juice messes.  Keep your vape juice tank primarily full most of the time and will bring your experience with burnt hits to a minimum.  Conclusion Burnt hits are nasty, gross surprises when they come. However, if you follow our advice above, you'll find that burnt hits will be few and far between. It takes some effort and due diligence, but the work is worth it to consistently have delicious tasting vapor! If the work to avoid scorched hits from a refillable vape tank isn't attractive to you, consider moving to disposable vapes. They take the work out of maintaining a device, and while burnt hits are possible, they will be exceedingly rare. If you enjoy vaping THC-oil, consider picking up the Firefly Mini (the premium choice for disposable THC-oil vapes). If you want to move away from vaping oils or e-juices altogether, vaping dry herbs or cannabis flower may be an attractive option. If you're new to dry herb vaping we’d recommend considering Firefly 2+ which will offer an incredibly smooth, satisfying dry herb vaping experience. You can learn more about what to expect from the Firefly 2+ in this detailed Vaping 360 review.     SHOP NOW

Unless you've been living in a bunker, you've probably noticed that vaping has exploded into mainstream culture. You would seen celebs promoting their favorite cannabis brands, people wanting to learn how to vape, legislatures placing the vaping industry under scrutiny, and multiple vape shops pop up in your hometown. It’s clear that vaping is here to stay! However, if you're new to vaping, how to start and what devices to choose can feel overwhelming. Even deciding what to vape can be confusing (not to mention legally ambiguous). How do you choose what to vape and what kind of vape to use?  Does this sound like you? Then you're at the right place! In this article, we'll explain what vaping is, how to choose what to vape and what kind of device to use, and we'll even provide a brief overview of some legal concerns you should keep an eye out on. What is Vaping? Vaping is the act of using a device to produce vapor meant to be inhaled. Vaporizers (often called vapes or vape pens) use a battery to heat your substance of choice. When heated, the substance produces vapor, which you can inhale and enjoy. The vaping process mimics smoking traditional tobacco (in fact, many vaping substances are infused with nicotine). Many smokers who want to quit smoking will switch to vaping, which allows them to wean off nicotine while avoiding the dangers of inhaling smoke. While the basics of vaping are simple, it can get confusing when you start to look at what you can vape. Below we break down the categories of the most popular vaping substances: Vape Juice Vape juice (often called e-liquid, vape liquid, or oil) is the most popular vaporizer substance. It's usually made of a mix of vegetable glycerin, propylene glycol, and flavoring. Vape juices are commonly infused with nicotine, though many flavors are available that are nicotine-free. Vape juices are usually used in a vape pen or box mod, where the vape battery connects to a vape tank. The vape tank is filled with your choice of vape juice, heated, and vaporized by an atomizer. That vapor is drawn out when you take a hit, allowing you to get a mouthful of tasty vapor. Dry Herbs Dry herbs are an increasingly popular substance used in vaporizers. They are an easy-to-use alternative to smoking, especially for those who enjoy vaping their choice of dry herb while on the go. Dry herb vapes can be used for cannabis (like hemp or marijuana), along with any other concoction of dry herbs you enjoy vaping; some popular ones include lavender and eucalyptus. Dry herb vaporizers will fall into two categories. The first is a convection vape; convection vaporizers use heated air for baking the dry herb to produce vapor (nothing is burned, so no smoke is made). The vapor is then drawn into the lungs when you take a vapor puff. The other category of dry herb vaporizers is conduction vapes. Conduction vapes apply a heat source directly to your dry herbs. The temperature is still low enough to create smoke, so genuine vapor no is still produced.   Concentrates (Dabs) The final category of vaporizers is concentrate vaporizers. These devices vaporize wax (usually THC or CBD wax) and are an excellent alternative to traditional dab rig setups. Many vapers love concentrate vapes due to their portability, mess-free operation, and overall ease of use.  Concentrate vapes operate similarly to dry herb vapes; in fact, many vaporizers have dry herb and concentrate vaping functionality like the Firefly 2+. They have a heating chamber where wax is placed directly on a heating coil. Most concentrate vapes will be conduction vapes since they need direct contact with a high heat source to vaporize.    How to Vape: A Simple Guide  Next is learning exactly how to vape to get the most out of your flower, or concentrate. So let’s go through a step-by-step process of how to get started with vaping. Step 1: Charge the Device You won't have much luck vaping if your vape battery is dead. If you are using a vaporizer for the first time, make sure it has a full charge before diving in! While some devices come fully charged, others will have only a partial charge (or no charge at all!).   Step 2: Load the Device Once you're sure the device is charged, you'll want to load the device with your preferred vaping substance. If you are vaping e-liquids, you'll either connect your prefilled cartridge or manually load your vape tank. For dry herbs or concentrates, you'll load the heating chamber according to the manufacturer's instructions.   Step 3: Power On the Device Most vaporizers power on in the same way. Locate the power button and quickly press it five times. This will power on the device, allowing you to change heat settings (if available). For dry herb vaporizers, this will usually start the process of warming up the heating chamber.    Some simpler vapes will skip this step because they don't have a power button. These vapes are called "draw fire" vapes, which means when you take a hit, the device will automatically power on and produce vapor. Typically, you'll only see draw-fire vapes on e-liquid devices.  Step 4: Adjust Heating Settings If your vaporizer has the option to adjust heat settings, now is the time to do it! We recommend that you start with the lowest heat settings and work your way up. That's the best way to avoid making too hot or too harsh vapor for your liking.  Step 5: Take a Puff When the device is turned on and you have adjusted the heat settings to your liking, it's time to take a hit! Some devices will require that you press and hold the power button to take a hit, while others will have a designated "trigger" button for this function.  Other devices, primarily with dry herb vaporizers, don't have a trigger button. Instead, you place your heat setting, wait for the device to reach temperature and produce vapor, and then take hits as vapor is produced.  Step 6: Repeat! Continue the process of hitting the trigger and taking hits until you have had your fill. If you notice that less and less vapor is being produced, you may need to refill your vape tank or heating chamber. This is especially true with dry herb vapes, as the packed dry herb will become "spent" and eventually stop producing vapor.  Step 7: Clean and Store The final step in vaping for the first time is to clean and store your vaporizer. E-juice vaporizers need minimal cleaning (unless you made a mess filling your vape tank). Dry herb and concentrate vaporizers should have their heating chambers wholly cleaned out once they have cooled. You should never store dry herbs or wax inside of the vape device. This not only makes it more likely to produce a mess in the future (especially with wax), but it can also damage or produce unnecessary wear and tear on the vaporizer's heating components. How to Choose a Vape Pen Buy a Vape Pen or Vaporizer  Obviously, to learn how to vape, you’ve got to start off by buying a vape pen or vaporizer. As we’ve already mentioned, there are different types of vape pens available on the market today.  Dry herb vaporizers Oil vaporizers or dab pens  Vape pen batteries to connect with a vape cart  Each and every one of these vapes will come with some type of power mechanism, heating element, and mouthpiece to heat up your chosen material for inhaling.  To best get acquainted with the model you choose, it’s best to read the instructions thoroughly and check the manual or product details for any questions you might have.  Choose What Material to Vape  Once you have purchased your vape pen or vaporizer, it’s time to decide exactly what material to vape. If you’re a beginner, it’s crucial to understand that various product types have different potencies.  For instance, dry herb or flower is the least potent, while concentrates and oils are the most potent. Here’s what you need to know as you set out on how to vape. With more potent products, you’ll typically be able to take fewer hits to achieve your desired effects as against the least potent products, such as flower, which might take more material or longer to deliver the effects you want.  With that said, it’s also important to know that flower is typically less expensive than oils or concentrates. So, deciding what’s right for you will come down to your frequency of use, budget, and preferences for potency.  Ideally, choose what you want to vape before you purchase a vape pen or vaporizer, to ensure the model you pick is equipped to handle what you want. Unless, of course, you choose a vape pen that can accommodate flower, oils, and concentrates.  How to Inhale Vape Properly Whether you are a former smoker or intrigued by vaping in general, you might be surprised to find that there are several different kinds of techniques for inhaling. What methods you use will ultimately depend on your personal preference!    The two techniques you'll consider are mouth-to-lung (MTL) inhaling and direct-to-lung (DTL) inhaling.   What's Mouth-to-Lung (MTL) Inhaling? MTL inhaling is when you draw vapor into your mouth, hold it, and then breathe it in deeply. For traditional tobacco smokers, this will feel familiar, as this is one of the most popular ways to take a puff off of a cigarette.    MTL inhaling is also the technique most beginners will start with. It allows you to learn how to feel the amount of vapor in your mouth, feel how hot the vapor is, and prevent getting a quick lungful of scalding hot vapor.    You'll see vapers using MTL when they're more focused on enjoying the flavor of the vapor than they are creating enormous vape clouds. Of course, for those that enjoy creating massive vapor clouds, there's direct-to-lung inhaling.   What's Direct-to-Lung (DTL) Inhaling? DTL inhaling is when you inhale vapor directly from the device into your lungs in one long breath. Vaping enthusiasts who love making huge vapor clouds gravitate towards this technique since it produces far more vapor than MTL vaping.    Of course, you have to be careful when using DTL inhaling, especially if you are new to vaping. You won't have the safety net of holding the vapor in your mouth, so it's easy to get an entire lungful of vapor that is far too hot for your liking.    Once you become more familiar with your specific vaping device and your chosen vaping substance, DTL inhaling is a popular choice for many vapers, especially those that enjoy e-liquid vaping.    Finding a Suitable Device Now that you have a solid idea of what vaping is and the options available to you, you need to decide what kind of vaping device you'd like to have. The best way to do this is to make a list of what you want out of vaping and the machine that best fits what you're looking for.    If you're new to vaping, you may not be sure what questions you should be asking yourself. The following questions will help narrow your scope of choices for when you're deciding what kind of vape you want.   What's Your Budget? What you're willing to spend will quickly narrow down your choices. It's not a bad strategy to start with a low-end, budget-friendly device while you're discovering what you do or do not want. However, you should keep in mind that you'll get what you pay for, and more expensive vaporizers are generally much higher quality.    What Do You Want to Vape? Do you want to vape e-liquids, dry herbs, or concentrates? Maybe you want the option to vape more than one of the choices! Knowing what you want to vape will narrow the scope of device choices significantly. If you aren't sure what you want to vape the most or know that you want to vape various substances, a box mod may be a fantastic choice.    Where Do You Want to Vape? Do you plan on vaping in the privacy of your home, or do you plan on vaping while on the go? Vaporizers come in various designs, with some catering to a sleek, inconspicuous design, while others focus more on power and features than being discrete.    What Features Do You Want?  Do you want the ability to change the temperature in your vaporizer? Maybe you want a device with a vibrant, digital display loaded with features? You could want a vaporizer that works well but doesn't have a lot of customizable options. Determining what specific features are important to you will help you land on a device that you love.  Once you take the time to ask yourself these questions, choosing a device will be a much easier exercise. Conclusion Vaping is a fantastic hobby that millions of people have grown to love. Many enthusiasts use vaping as a tool to avoid smoking tobacco, while others use vaping for medicinal purposes, like using CBD or THC to treat chronic pain. Regardless of why you're interested in vaping; the market is full of fantastic vaping options that can fill whatever specific vaping need you have.  Are you in the market for a high-end, dry herb vaporizer? Firefly vapes are award-winning convection vaporizers that provide the best dry herb vaping experience available.

One of the biggest advantages of vaping is that you can enjoy it anywhere. Whether you're out on a walk or spending time with friends and family, there's no need to relegate yourself to your home or car just because you're vaping.  However, many people are concerned that vaping indoors is a bad idea, and actually end up restricting their use simply because they tend to be social in nature. But how does it affect indoor air quality? And is vaping allowed indoors? Here’s everything you need to know.  Is Vaping Allowed Indoors? Most countries leave it open for families and establishments to decide the answer to the question: Is vaping allowed indoors? As such, it is a good idea to check before you take a puff- it’s just the right thing to do.  Want to Vape Indoors? Here’s What Science Says In an article (with a rather lengthy title which we won’t force you to endure) published by The Public Library of Science, study results now show that vaping indoors causes little to no pollution in the home. The study, which analyzed hundreds of homes and factored in a variety of variables, concluded that contrary to popular opinion, vaping indoors does not cause any pollution or affect indoor air quality.  Should we rest with just one study? Certainly not!  There are several studies done that all indicate the same result: indoor vaping is not bad for the indoor environment, and there is no evidence to say that it is. If you still have a couple niggling concerns, you could find out more about how to vape safely with the best equipment, and decide which equipment (conduction or convection vaporizer, that is the question!) works for you. And if you want a quantifiable number, exposure to nicotine via a vape is 169 x lower than regular old cigarettes. The study goes on to say that there is no evidence to support the notion that people are exposed to ‘secondhand smoke’ from vapes- whether indoors or outdoors.  What Does a Vape Do to the Air Inside Your Home? Vapes do not emit secondhand smoke like regular cigarettes or combustibles do, and can therefore typically be used in bars, restaurants, and other indoor public places. While vapes containing nicotine still release nicotine, it is at a far lower level than a typical cigarette (and some vapes have no nicotine).  Other substances found in the vapor from vapes include: Benzene formaldehyde  Isoprene N-Nitrosonornicotine Toluene propylene glycol The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved propylene glycol in some products but it should be noted it has not approved the vaporized form of propylene glycol.  While these compounds are released via the vapor and can build up on surfaces, they cannot enter other people's bodies or harm them (according to the previously mentioned study). How Long Does it Take for Vapor Particles to Disappear from the Air? Even though the vapor particles from e-cigarettes evaporate within seconds, how long do they hang around in the air? It might be uncomfortable to inhale vapor particles in an enclosed space, but there is 'probably no danger' to your health, according to a study published in 2018 by public health officials, which compared the effects of vaping and cigarette smoking in indoor air. The study reported that particles released from the vapor are gone (poof, evaporated into the air) within literal seconds. What’s more, the particles are gone long before a person would have had time to inhale and exhale.  In contrast, for cigarettes, the particle concentration in the room might not return to background levels for about 45 minutes because of the time it takes for nicotine and other chemicals to break down. Will Vaping Inside Stain Walls? If you're a fan of vaping, you may have found yourself wondering whether your habit could damage your home the way smoking can. Luckily, staining is the only major effect that vaping inside can have on walls and shelves. Vaping indoors does not stain walls as dramatically as smoking, but the residue can still build up over time. You could ensure windows are kept open or simply vape close to ventilation if you are concerned with stains. If you want to stay on your couch while enjoying your vape, don't worry! The residue will only begin to show after a prolonged period of time and is easily cleaned off using a wet cloth. Does vaping inside leave a lingering smell? Vaping is much less noticeable than the smell of traditional cigarettes! However, the slight smell can be reduced if you ensure your home has good ventilation.  The vapor that is produced by an e-cigarette is almost completely composed of water. This means that it will not stick to surfaces or permeate the air in the same way that cigarette smoke does. While a vape can smell slightly sweet, you should be able to eliminate any unwanted odors with a little bit of effort. Air moves in one direction: from high pressure to low pressure. In this case, it makes sense that the air (and potential particles) will travel straight out of your house, into the atmosphere. This means that if you have good ventilation throughout your home, any lingering smells should be quickly removed by fresh outdoor air. Vaping indoors doesn't produce any smoke, so there is no tell-tale layer of tobacco smoke that clings to fabrics and furniture. However, some people are more sensitive than others to the odor produced by e-cigarettes and some flavors can be stronger than others. This means that if you vape inside your house, you may notice a slight odor for a couple of hours afterward but could be reduced or eliminated by ensuring good ventilation throughout your home. The Bottom Line: Vaping Inside and the Possible Effects Vaping indoors, are you allowed to vape indoors? Of course, you can decide for yourself whether you want to vape inside your home. Although some people enjoy vaping inside, especially for people who don’t mind a little extra cleaning now and then, to ensure your walls aren’t gathering residue.  In the end, it's up to you whether you want to vape inside or outside. The experts recommend that you vape outside, but sometimes the weather (or your lifestyle) precludes this.  There are many media outlets that bash vaping in general, nevermind doing it indoors, but there the studies actually show there is no evidence to back up these claims. The opposite seems to be true, the studies show the vape particles are minuscule and will not cause harm to others.  So, we say: first check the establishment (if you are not at home) and ask: is vaping allowed indoors? Before you just assume, as some establishments don't allow it. There are many that do, however, but be courteous- and don't exhale straight into other people's faces or food. While the vapor disappears in seconds, that is not the point- just be mindful of those around you. SHOP NOW

Weed vaporizers today are much more portable and efficient than when they first emerged on the market, thanks to improved technology and understanding of how to best vaporize the cannabis plan. This is true for the Firefly 2 upgrade that provides an outstanding vaping experience with cannabis. Learn about this portable and convection marijuana vaporizer for sale and all of its features, below. Portable Vaporizers With  an assortment of portable vaporizers for weed available for purchase, it might be hard to choose which is the best one for you. This article will outline why we believe the Firefly 2+ is the best choice when it comes to portable weed vaporizers. What is the Firefly Vaporizer? The Firefly is, as mentioned, a portable cannabis vaporizer. The brand was created in 2012 by a former Apple Designer who had a profound appreciation for cannabis and wanted to leverage technology to bring out the best in the cannabis plant and saw an opening in the market to improve upon what existed. Firefly spares no expense when it comes to materials used and technology platforms leveraged to create the optimal vaping experience.  Best Small Marijuana Vaporizer  From the start, they were dedicated to developing the best marijuana vaporizer they could make. The team spent two years developing the technology platform, but ultimately decided it wasn’t perfect and not ready for market introduction. They pivoted and decided to go a different route. Instead of using butane as a heating source, they would use an electric heating coil.  The team tried many different metals in order to find the perfect one. Soon after testing, they both happened to develop a nickel allergy. This also happened to be the standard type of coil in weed vapes at the time. This led them to ceramic as the heating element in the device, which is now the industry standard in vaporizers due to its superior heat retention abilities. When the R&D process was done, the final result was a first of its kind high-tech product known as the Firefly dry herb vaporizer. Since its inception Firefly has released three additional iterations of the vaporizer device, as well as, a prefilled oil vaporizer known as the Firefly mini.    Why buy the Firefly? The Firefly has a number of thoughtful qualities, but here are just a few:   Speed The Firefly 2+ has one of the fastest heat-up times of any vaporizer on the market, heating the material inside in just 3-seconds. When you’re ready to charge, you only need 45 minutes before the device is fully charged and ready for its next use. Temperature The Firefly takes the same amount of time to heat up as it does to cool down. This enables more control with each puff. The Firefly also uses modern dynamic heating technology to heat up each draw to your preferred maximum temperature, helping you to maximize what you get from each draw. Design The design of the Firefly is elegant and understated. Available color options include jet black, gold, blue, black, oak, and zebra wood. Other key features of the design include: Magnetic Lid Borosilicate Glass Bowl Laser-drilled Microjets Capacitive Touch Sensors Glass Vapor Path Removable Mouthpiece Magnesium Alloy Chassis Waste-Free The Firefly 2+ is designed specifically to heat up as you inhale, so no material is ever wasted.  Long-Lasting Inhalation lasts 10 seconds, this enables the vapor to stay in your body for longer periods of time, entering the surface of the lungs and going to the bloodstream thereafter. It also mitigates large plumes of vapor that are wasteful, keeping the cannabis in your body and more discreet. Technology Controlled The Firefly also allows the user to conveniently control the temperature from their desktop or via an Android app. You can choose a wide range of temperatures between 200° and 500° Fahrenheit. This is the largest available temperature control of any portable vaporizer.  Taste The 2+ has exactly 33% more airflow than the previous model.

If you've been dry herb vaping long, you know that not all devices are created equal. You probably started with a budget device, which means you struggled with flavor quality, frequent clogs, poor battery life, and limited heating options. Fortunately, dry herb vaping has taken off, and there are several high-end, top-notch devices available for fantastic dry herb vaping.  Two of the most popular devices that have popped up are the Firefly 2+ and the Davinci IQ. While both devices handle dry herb vaping well, they offer very different vaping experiences. Below, we'll talk about where each of these devices excel, and how a discerning shopper can choose between the Firefly vs. Davinci IQ to get the device that is the best fit for their vaping needs.  Firefly 2+ vs Davinci IQ Both the Firefly 2+ and the Davinci IQ do their jobs extremely well. They have fantastic builds, sleek, modern designs, and produce excellent vapor. However, there are significant differences between these devices, specifically regarding how these devices heat dry herbs to create vapor.  Figure 1 Hand holding Firefly 2+ loaded with dry herbs. The Firefly 2+ uses convection heating. This means that the heated air is released (similar to an oven), which creates vapor from the dry herbs. The Davinci IQ uses conduction heating, which means the dry herb will need to make contact with a hot surface in order to produce vapor. These heating differences will be important as we take an in-depth look at these devices, so keep them in mind. Manufacturing Quality The Firefly 2+ has excellent manufacturing quality. It features a stainless-steel body, a borosilicate glass vapor path to a food-grade plastic mouthpiece, and a removable battery. The heating chamber has a .15-gram capacity, which is sufficient for most vapers to have a full vaping session. Very few would have an issue with the overall build quality of the Firefly 2+. The Davinci IQ also offers an excellent build. It features an all-ceramic vapor path, a removable 18650 battery, and a .3 gram heating chamber. With a generous heating chamber and solid battery power, the Davinci IQ will disappoint few vapers with its build.  Vaporizer Ease of Use The Firefly 2+ is really easy-to-use. You connect the device to a companion app or desktop app for precision heating options and then press sensors on each side of the vape to make it fire. It will take a few sessions to get used to vaping on the Firefly 2+ (taking a draw requires more pull than what some vapers might be used to) but there aren't any significant roadblocks. The Davinci IQ is also easy-to-use. However, instead of a learning curve of how to take appropriate pulls, the Davinci IQ will take a few sessions to get used to the variety of onboard heating options (though Davinci also has a companion app).  Just like with the Firefly, this device will only take a few sessions for vapers to feel comfortable adjusting heating options and puffing vapor.  Device Portability Dry herb vapes are notoriously travel-unfriendly. Their heating chambers make it difficult to create a slim design profile, and the fact that you need to heat up dry herbs to make vapor (and potentially reload a heating chamber), is not always convenient when you may only have a few moments to take a quick puff.  The Firefly 2+ resolves many of these travel issues. It's a comfortable size, so bulkiness won't cause you any problems. It provides on-demand vapor, which means you can go from a cold device to taking a quick puff in less than 10 seconds. Since the batteries can be swapped, you can plan on having several vape sessions throughout the day without needing to recharge. The Davinci IQ is also extremely travel-friendly. It has a super-slim profile, which means it will pack more conveniently than the Firefly 2+. While it doesn't support on-demand heating, its inconspicuous design is helpful in not drawing attention to yourself when you want to take a hit.  Even though dry herb vapes don't tend to be travel friendly, both the Firefly 2+ and the Davinci IQ break that stereotype.  Design The overall design of these devices is where you'll start to see some major differences. The Firefly 2+ uses a removable faceplate to load the heating chamber. Then, sensors on each side of the device are touched in order to get vapor production going. You can cycle through some preset heating options, though the companion app offers far more options.  Figure 2 Davinci IQ on ground with temperature setting displayed. The Davinci IQ will actually load at the bottom of the device. This is where the heating plate is, and vapor will travel upwards from here into the mouthpiece. You'll have more access to heating options on the physical device, though the Davinci also uses a companion app.  Battery Life Both devices offer great battery life, but you'll find that each has its own unique perks and drawbacks in this area. The Davinci IQ will last a bit longer than the Firefly 2+ (the Firefly uses smaller batteries). The Davinci will last to upwards of seven vaping sessions before needing to recharge.  The Davinci IQ also uses 18650 batteries. This size of battery is extremely common among box mod vaporizers, so you may have a handful already. This can make it easy to swap batteries out for all-day vaping without needing to buy a bunch of spares. Finally, you can expect batteries for the Davinci to take around two hours to fully charge. Figure 3 Example of an 18650-lithium battery The Firefly 2+ will last around six sessions and also uses proprietary batteries, so while they are exchangeable (and each device comes with two), you'll have to buy more if you plan on extensive all-day vaping.  However, the Firefly 2+ has an enormous advantage in charge time. It will only take a battery 45 minutes to reach a full charge, which is less than half the time for the Davinci. You'll want to decide if a fast recharge time is more important or if a slightly longer vaping time is what you are looking for. Heat-up Time The Firefly has the clear advantage with heat-up time. It can produce vapor in as little as three seconds, though normal times range between three and ten seconds. Even on the high-end, the Firefly 2+ has an incredible heat-up time that most devices on the market can't match.  The Davinci IQ has a heat-up time of around a minute. While this pales in comparison to the Firefly, it's actually not that bad when you compare it to other devices in the market. However, if speed is an important factor for you, then the Firefly will unquestionably offer the best experience.  Temperature Controls Both devices benefit from a companion app that helps to fine-tune heat control. The Davinci IQ offers degree-precision heating, so it'll be easy to find the sweet spot for your dry herbs. The Davinci also offers "smart paths," which are based around the boiling points of different cannabinoids, which can help fine-tune the vaping experience for those new to cannabis. The Firefly 2+ also offers degree-precision heating. It also offers special heating called "dynamic convection." When you set your heating temperature and take a draw, the Firefly 2+ will actually work its way up to your setting while you draw. The idea is to inhale each cannabinoid as it evaporates across the temperature spectrum.  This dynamic convection is why the Firefly 2+ produces vapor that just tastes good. This feature doesn't require set up, it happens automatically with each puff! Vapor Quality As we just mentioned, the Firefly 2+ creates vapor with unmatched quality. Between the dynamic heating, the convection design, and the glass vapor path, you'll get incredible tasting vapor with each draw. After your first few sessions, you'll be pulling delicious vapor with every single puff.  The Davinci IQ also produces high-quality vapor. However, the traditional conduction heating will limit how consistent that vapor quality is, though it's safe to say that the Davinci will still produce solid vapor. It's all-ceramic pathway and great heating options will still produce a great vaping experience for those that enjoy conduction vaping.  Features The Firefly 2+ offers on-demand, dynamic convection heating that is supported by a companion app. Aside from that, you won't see many other features, since the device is dedicated to straightforward, dry herb vaping.  Figure 4 Wood-grain Firefly 2+ held in hand The Davinci IQ offers precision conduction heating that is also supported by a companion app. In addition to precision heating, you'll have access to "smart paths." As we mentioned before, these smart paths are designed to target different boiling points for different cannabinoids, so you can more accurately control what you vaporize and your high. Smart paths are great for beginners, but precision heating in both devices will allow manual targeting of cannabinoids.  Performance Vapers will love the performance of each device, though you'll want to be sure you pick the device that fits your vaping habits best. The Davinci IQ takes longer to heat but is packed with beginner-friendly heating options. It will provide more vaping sessions and will create larger plumes of vapor. The Firefly 2+ offers on-demand heating, straightforward precision heating options, but offers less battery life (though batteries charge more quickly). The dynamic convection technology produces superior vapor taste and will produce less vapor compared to the Davinci IQ, though the vapor won't be any less potent.  Cleaning The Firefly 2+ is one of the most easily cleaned vaporizers on the market. All you have to do is remove the metal faceplate and gently use a cotton swab with rubbing alcohol to remove residue. You can remove the mouthpiece and easily clean the vapor path and the filter screen.  The Davinci IQ takes a bit more effort to clean. You'll need to remove the heating chamber and use a brush to give the vapor path a thorough cleaning. However, since the internal components are ceramic, you won't need to worry about accidentally breaking or damaging these components.  Overall, neither device is particularly difficult to clean, though the Firefly 2+ happens to be especially easy to clean. Conclusion Both the Firefly 2+ and the Davinci IQ offer an excellent vaping experience. While each offers its own unique perks, there's also a lot of overlap between the positive benefits they offer (like app-controlled precision heating and removable batteries). To summarize, here's a quick look at each of their strongest benefits. The Firefly 2+ offers: On-demand heating Dynamic Convection heating An emphasis on vapor flavor Extremely easy cleaning The Davinci IQ offers: Sleek and small design Longer battery life with 18650 batteries Beginner-friendly heating profiles More vapor production (at the expense of flavor) Now, it's time for you to choose. There's not an objective right or wrong answer for which vape is better. Instead, you'll need to take a catalog of what you want most out of a vaporizer and see which device best fits what you want. If you take the time to make sure you know what you're looking for, you'll likely land on the perfect device for you! SHOP NOW

Intro As popular as vaping is, there are bound to be all kinds of weird myths surrounding the practice. You may be surprised to find that many of the facts you think you know about vaping are half-truths at best or complete fabrications at worst. One of the most common myths we're asked about is whether vaping makes you gain weight.  There are a lot of different reasons this myth persists, and this article is going to get to the bottom of them. We’ll explore a few common myths about vaping, whether or not vaping makes you gain weight, and why some of these beliefs exist in the first place. The Myths Vape juices come in a wide variety of flavors, and it's not uncommon to find sweet, candy-oriented juices. Some have thought that, because these flavors mimic candy, that vaping them might cause weight gain.  Vaping Is Calorie-Free   Fortunately, you have no need to worry about ingesting calories through vaping, regardless of the flavor. While most vape juices have "calories" listed, you don't absorb any of the calories when vaping. You'd need to actually swallow and ingest the juice to produce a caloric intake (which we absolutely do not recommend).  Even if you could ingest the calories from vape juice, it wouldn't be enough to gain weight. A bottle of vape juice may have 4 calories per mL, which is negligible. For reference, an entire cup of grapes has about 62 calories. You'd have to be vaping through several bottles of day, several times of the week, for the caloric content to impact your weight.   Why Do Vape Juice Bottles Have Calories Listed?  The nutrition facts that list calories on a bottle of vape juice reflect the calories of the ingredients listed. Technically, all objects have calories since calories are just a measure of the "energy" in a given object. Gasoline has a high caloric count, but that doesn't mean you want to eat it! The main components in vape juice (like vegetable glycerin and propylene glycol) have calories, too. However, those aren't calories you need to be concerned with since the only way to make use of them is to actually swallow the juice.  So, Does Vaping Make You Fat?  There is currently no evidence to suggest that vaping can cause any kind of weight gain, regardless of the brand, flavor, or recipe you vape. As we mentioned earlier, you can't ingest the negligible number of calories that are present in vape juice anyway (because you're breathing it in, not eating it).   Vaping Dry Herb   There is nothing in e-liquids or vape juice that will make you gain weight when you vape. While dry herbs are completely different substances, there are no dry herbs you can vape that will make you gain weight, either. However, there are some side effects of certain dry herbs that could cause you to gain weight. Namely, the munchies! If you vape marijuana, you're going to inhale a dose of THC, which is the compound responsible for creating marijuana's traditional ‘high’. THC accomplishes this by interacting with cannabinoid receptors in your brain. These receptors affect the strength of your appetite, which is why vaping marijuana is associated with increased appetite.  Since a THC-induced appetite isn't necessarily fixed by eating, you could end up eating a lot. If you vape weed on a regular basis (and consistently succumb to the munchies), you definitely could gain weight. Be sure to keep that in mind if you regularly vape. Vaping Concentrates  Vaping concentrates is the same story as vaping dry herb. You should just be a little more cautious when vaping THC concentrates since the concentration of THC is far greater than what is found in loose-leaf marijuana. Much like dry herb and vape juices, there is nothing in concentrates that will cause weight gain by vaping. Why You Could Gain Weight After Quitting Vaping  If you are transitioning away from vaping e-liquids infused with nicotine, it's not uncommon to notice some weight gain. While this may cause alarm, there's nothing to be concerned about. The common reason people gain weight when they move away from vaping is because they are no longer regularly consuming nicotine.  Nicotine is the addictive substance found in tobacco and many kinds of vape juices. It is also a stimulant, and research shows that stimulants can suppress your appetite. So, when you stop using a stimulant (like nicotine), you may notice a rebound in your appetite, which means you will want to eat more. More eating means it's more likely for you to gain weight. Overall Metabolism Decrease  Aside from having a renewed appetite, you may experience weight gain after you stop vaping because your overall metabolism slows. Research shows that nicotine can increase the calories you burn while asleep up to 7-15%. This means, even if you effectively control your caloric intake, it's possible to gain weight because your body is burning through calories more slowly. One Craving for Another  As you work your way through the withdrawals of nicotine, you may experience the urge to "replace" nicotine with something else that stimulates your brain. For many, that replacement can be rich, calorically dense foods (especially foods high in sugar). If you replace vaping with eating high-calorie foods, you definitely could experience some unexpected weight gain.  Food Tastes Better  When you stop vaping (depending on how much you were vaping and what flavor), you may find that you can smell and taste better. When you find that foods have a suddenly richer, more vibrant taste, the temptation to overeat may be present, which would contribute to weight gain.  Weight Gain Is Possible, but Not Guaranteed  Of course, quitting vaping doesn't mean you will gain weight. For the vast majority of the population, the only way to gain weight is to consume more calories than you burn. While an increased appetite and a slower metabolism make it more likely to gain weight when you stop, eating nutrient-rich foods and exercising can help you maintain your current weight levels. Vaping and Weight Loss  Since nicotine is an appetite suppressant, many look to vaping as a way to control their weight. There definitely is research that suggests that vaping can contribute to weight loss, but vaping nicotine e-juices should only be part of your overall weight-loss strategy.  Regardless of how you're vaping nicotine, it can come with unpleasant side effects when you try to stop. The side effects include irritability, headaches, and even anxiety and depression. These symptoms only last up to a few weeks, and if you can manage to get past the worst of them, the withdrawal symptoms quickly begin to fade.  Vaping as Part of Your Weight Loss Strategy While you should keep the side effects of nicotine withdrawal in mind, there's new research that suggests vaping can be an effective tool in your weight loss. Even with the drawbacks of nicotine, the advantages of avoiding obesity may outweigh the cons. This could be true even for those that are not moving from tobacco to vaping since that study suggested the sweet, candy flavors may help reduce cravings for the real, sugary thing.  Additional Research to Back Up These Claims  There's more research to suggest that nicotine may be an unexpected partner in mitigating weight loss. In an animal study involving mice, nicotine use reduced insulin resistance in obese rats, which helped to lower their overall glucose levels. This can help reduce your cravings for sugar, which can help you control your weight more effectively.  These newer studies regarding nicotine are promising since there's already a mountain of literature about the concerns of chronic, long-term use of nicotine. For those that have struggled with weight loss, nicotine might be a short-term solution in jump-starting your weight loss journey.   Always Consult Your Primary Care Physician  As with any new health regimen, you should always consult with your primary care physician before introducing something new into a weight-loss regimen. This is especially true if you have pre-existing conditions that nicotine may make worse.  For example, nicotine may increase your chances of developing Type 2 diabetes. If your doctor thinks you're already at a high risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, they may dissuade you from using nicotine as a method to lose weight.  While newer research suggests that nicotine might be a helpful weight loss tool, you should always make the decision to begin using it under the consultation of your doctor. This not only includes the use of nicotine but any significant diet change (like intermittent fasting) or the introduction of intense exercise.  Removing Weight Gain Fears  Making sure to maintain a healthy body weight is important. After all, the health risks of obesity are very serious. However, you can rest assured that vaping e-liquids will not contribute to unexpected weight gain. Here's a quick summary of why you don't need to be concerned: Vaping does not ingest calories (even with sweet, candy flavors). Currently, there is no research to suggest that any ingredient in common e-liquids would cause weight gain. While stopping nicotine use can cause short-term weight gain, it's not a guarantee. Focusing on eating nutrient-dense foods and getting regular exercise have a far greater impact on your weight than any kind of vaping or nicotine use. While the risks of nicotine use should be considered, weight gain is not a problem you need to be concerned with when considering vaping.  Conclusion Vaping causing weight gain is a myth that has been debunked for quite some time. Also, keep in mind that you can enjoy vaping without using nicotine at all. There are many e-liquids that are sold without nicotine, which allows users to enjoy making giant clouds of delicious tasting vapor.  Others vape for medicinal reasons. For example, many look to CBD-infused vape juices to treat pain or avoid e-liquids altogether, opting to vape dry herbs like hemp or marijuana. If you've considered vaping dry herbs, we recommend using the Firefly 2+ to do so. It uses advanced convection heating to produce smooth, great-tasting vapor!     SHOP NOW
