Vape temperature: more important thank you might think.
Traditional consumers know it best. Lighting up a joint to inhale the good shit and exhale the bullshit. You don’t control the temperature in that situation, so changing it doesn’t seem to matter much.
But, on the other hand, vaping allows you to set the temperature, and when you do it, the whole experience changes for the better.
Simply put, you won’t know what you’re missing out on until you start caring for vaping temperatures. We want to welcome you to a world of intentional cannabis use, where you’re making the most of a device to achieve your desired effects and flavors.
And yes, you can do that by simply adjusting the temperature of your vape.

Most vaping devices have the feature of adjusting the temperature because it can change how much your oil will burn. High temperatures produce a thick cloud of vapor quickly, but it evaporates the oil soon and can make it taste awful if it’s too hot.
Low temperatures allow you to taste the terpenes much better, and the oil will last longer. But, when the heat is too low, you might not get as high as you expect or not even taste the oil at all.
Thus, having the possibility of setting the heat as it pleases you is crucial when vaping. Then, you will find vaporizers on the market with a wide range of heat settings and more or less precise ways to control them.
Some change the heat by controlling the temperature, and others do it by changing the wattage or voltage.
Vape temperature control is more precise as you can set it to an exact degree, and the device will keep that temperature during the whole session.
It’s typical to find that mode on dry herb vaporizers, but you can also find it in devices that vaporize oil and let you explore the effects of different settings.
On the other hand, changing wattage or voltage is less precise but simpler than controlling temperature.
That is why it is usually cheaper and ideal for vaping concentrates because they evaporate with less temperature and don’t burn easily.
Some devices that vaporize wax or shatter don’t even have a feature to set the heat because they are already preset.

The temperature you apply to the terpenes and cannabinoids matters.
Low temperatures will give you mild effects and light flavors, while moderate to high temperatures produce thick vapor and heavy effects.
Thus, the temperature affects the whole experience you get from vaping; that is why it’s so important.
If you vape from 300°F to 350°F (149°C to 177°C), you will get bodily effects while staying lucid.
It is perfect to handle anxiety and mood swings; you feel in control and able to go on with your life or chill with some friends. Plus, you can truly taste the flavors of your oil in this range.
From above 350°F to 390°F (177°C to 199°C), you can feel the mental buzz, a tingle that starts from the back of your eyes and runs through your spine.
This is when you get into borderline psychedelia, so it’s ideal for heavy smokers who desire strong and powerful effects.
Then you have temps from 390°F to 430°F (199°C to 221°C), which is a risky zone.
The vapor is too hot and starts burning cannabinoids, and you will get an unpleasant flavor. Then, all your oil or concentrate evaporates quickly, increasing your risk of greening out.
Although some devices can get as high as 450°F (232 °C), we don’t recommend going above 430°F.
Typically, temperatures above that danger zone of 390°F To 430°F might cause your vape product to burn.
Even though higher temperatures help to release more cannabinoids, there is a fine line. Once crossing that line, you risk burning your product, which may actually cause your vapor to turn into smoke.
This occurs because excessive heat causes the material, whether it’s dry herb or concentrate, to combust rather than vaporize. Combustion produces smoke instead of vapor, which includes burning the material and producing ash, along with a different flavor and a more harsh experience for your lungs.
There is no specific temperature that works for every desired outcome and effect. Different temperature settings work to bring you the experience you’re looking for.
After all, there’s a reason why devices have various temperature settings, so you can explore them and decide what you like the most.
When you want to kill the pain, you burn it to ashes.
That is why a temperature around 410°F is high enough to produce a quick and heavy hit that soothes all aches.
This temperature works great with non-psychoactive cannabinoids as there is a low risk of having unpleasant side effects.

Getting close to 380°F is perfect for getting high enough to make your limbs feel warm and heavy.
The thick cloud of vapor lingers above you while you lie down on the couch, too stoned to focus or move.
When using psychoactive cannabinoids, some puffs at this temp are sure to induce some major couch lock.
If you’re seeking to connect to the internet of ideas and creativity, 360°F is your temp.
After three or four puffs, you’ll want to grab a pencil and start writing about everything that comes to mind. Everything seems clearer, more compelling, and more inspirational.
Vaping a Delta 8 oil or a combination of THC with CBD at 350°F can uplift your spirit.
If there’s something making you anxious and you want to prevent the nerves from ramping up, you can go wrong with vaping your cannabinoids at this temperature.
It will have you feeling more relaxed and optimistic instead of too high to function.

Low temperatures are the best for sensing all the complexity of a terpenes profile. Thus, vaping at a temperature of around 330°F allows you to smell all the scents, notes, and undertones of your favorite strain.
