Dry herb vaporizers have become extremely popular over the past several years. Not only are they known for their health benefits, but many people have also touted their ability to save users money. That’s right, if you’re someone who regularly uses herbs such as cannabis, switching to a vaporizer can save you quite a bit of money over time. In this article we take a look at some of the ways in which dry herb vaporizers can help you save money.

What is a Dry Herb Vaporizer?

A dry herb vaporizer is a device used to heat up dried herbs to a temperature that is hot enough to release the active compounds within the herbs, without actually burning them like traditional methods or smoking does. Instead of smoke being produced and inhaled by the user – vapour is created and inhaled as an alternative. There are many different types of dry herb vaporizers on the market ranging from portable, pen-style and desktop versions all offering various features and benefits.

Efficient Use of Herbs

One of the main ways dry herb vaporizers save you money is through efficient use of your herbs. When you smoke herbs using traditional methods like joints or pipes, a significant portion of the herb is burned away without being fully utilised. In contrast, vaporizers heat the herbs more evenly and at lower temperatures, ensuring that more of the active compounds are released and consumed.

Higher Potency Per Use

With a vaporizer, you need less herb to achieve the same effect. This is because vaporizers preserve more of the active compounds, such as THC or CBD in cannabis, providing a more potent experience. This is also true for users who might switch between dry herb and concentrates like a CBD cartridge. As a result, you use less herb per session, stretching your supply further and reducing the frequency of your purchases.

Reduced Waste

Smoking herbs traditionally can result in a lot of waste. This includes the leftover plant material that didn't fully combust and the ash produced. Vaporizers leave behind much less residue, often a small amount of brown, used herb that can still have some uses (more on that later). This reduction in waste means you get more out of your purchase.

Reusable Vaped Herb

Interestingly, the used herb from a vaporizer, often referred to as AVB (Already Vaped Bud), still contains some active compounds and can be reused. Many people use AVB to make edibles, tinctures, or even to vape again at a higher temperature. This reuse can stretch your herb supply even further, providing additional value and savings.

Health Savings

Herb cost is the most obvious point for anyone thinking about why use a Vaporizer?. However, the use of a vaporizer can also have future health benefits as well. If you are smoking herbs then you are causing harm to your lungs that may eventually result in medical expenses through no one’s fault but your own. A vaporizer produces less harmful byproducts and therefore makes it less likely that you will suffer from respiratory or other health problems leaving more money in your pocket by way of fewer doctor appointments or treatments.

Durability and Longevity

Good quality dry herb vaporizers are made to last for years with proper care. While the upfront cost may be higher than buying rolling papers or a pipe, if you choose a well-made, reliable vape it will be an investment that pays off in the long-run. The better quality of vape you purchase, the longer it should last and the more money you will save.

Lower Smell and Discreet Use

Dry herb vapes produce less odour than smoking does which can be a great thing if you live in somewhere where keeping things discreet is important as you won’t have to spend money on air fresheners or products to cover up smells around your home or apartment.

Portability and Convenience

Portable vaporizers are all about convenience - most are designed to be an all-in-one system which can be used straight from the box with no additional tools or accessories needed. This means you’re less likely to lose parts, or your device in general, and hence will spend less on replacements. Like car drivers who often find that they have much better fuel economy after purchasing a new car, a portable vaporizer may actually save you money because nobody wants to replace something unless they have to!

Energy Efficiency

Many of the modern herb vaporizers are designed to be energy-efficient, using rechargeable batteries or minimal power. The less power they use, the lower your utility bill will be, especially if you are a more frequent user. Some desktop vaporizers even come with features like automatic shut-off to conserve power and add to the savings.

Conclusion

There are plenty of financial reasons why herb users switch to a dry herb vaporizer. From getting the most out of your herbs and eliminating waste – to health savings, product longevity, vaporizers can significantly cut down on costs. And let’s not forget portable and energy efficient models can add even more value. Although they may have a higher price tag than some would like; the real price vs cost make dry herb vaporizers very budget friendly impulse buys. Knowing all of these money saving aspects, you can make an educated decision about including a dry herb vaporizer in your routine.
