In this in-depth guide we take you into the world of vaporizers, from the basic principles to the more technical aspects, including legislation and regulations in the Netherlands.
What is a vaporizer?
A vaporizer is a device that is used to heat the active ingredients of vegetable material such as cannabis or tobacco, or of concentrates and oils without burning it. Due to the absence of combustion, fewer harmful substances are released, which is one of the reasons why vaporizers are considered a healthier alternative to smoking.
Parts of a vaporizer
A typical vaporizer consists of different components, each with a specific function:
Heating room
This is the heart of every vaporizer, where the material is heated. The heating chamber can be made from different materials such as ceramics, glass or metal, depending on the type of vaporizer.
Battery
Most portable vaporizers are fed by a rechargeable battery. The quality and capacity of the battery determine how long you can use the vaporizer before it has to be recharged.
Nozzle
The mouthpiece is the part you inhale from. These can vary in shape and size, depending on the model and the personal preference.
Temperature regulation
Many vaporizers offer the possibility to adjust the temperature, allowing users to influence the intensity of the vapor and taste.
Use of a vaporizer
Vaporizers are used for a variety of purposes. Many people use them to consume cannabis, both for recreational and medicinal use. Others use it to evaporate tobacco as an alternative to traditional smoking. In addition, there are vaporizers that are specially designed for the use of essential oils and aromatherapy.
