How To Crush Weed When Using A Dry Herb Vaporizer?

While the most common methods of enjoying weed have been joints and bongs, a dry herb vaporizer offers an enhancement to the smoking experience. The dry herb vaporizer requires the cannabis plant to be crushed to deliver its powerful and reliable way of cannabis consumption. 

So, how finely should you grind your herb? While confusion is expected due to the large amounts of grinders on the market, the answer to how you should crush weed when using a dry herb vaporizer has always been in the way you grind the weed. Any form of grinder, or even scissors, can crush weed to the consistency best for vaporizers.

Like joints and bongs, combustion happens in a vaporizer too, which actually has a heating element that will ignite the cannabis. You are able to get big hits from a dry herb vaporizer like you would with other methods of smoking. How the weed is crushed and packed plays an integral part in this modern experience. 

The Perfect Grind

Vaporizers need cannabis that is ground fine, but not to a powder consistency. Just fine enough to avoid big chunks or clunky pieces. The key to crushing weed for a dry herb vaporizer is to get the cannabis flower fine and even. And this is going to ensure that the heat can be distributed equally and that the air can flow through the vaporizer. 

The evenness is what you will look out for in a good quality dry herb vaporizer. There are many ways to achieve the perfect grind for dry herb vaporizers. While scissors can get the job done, grinders excel in the consistency of crushing cannabis evenly. This is due to the teeth/propeller crushing chamber with sharp edges. 

Grinding Your Own

There are quick and easy steps to follow when you want to pack your vape chamber with weed. Grinders all work the same. The most common grinders are 2-part and 4-part grinders. However, the process of grinding cannabis for a dry herb vaporizer is the same.

• To begin, de-stem the cannabis plant to avoid filling the crushing chamber with unnecessary herb. 
• Next, fill the grinder chamber evenly with the de-stemmed weed. 
• Lock the chamber with the magnetic lid and give your grinder a couple of full rotations

Although boasting various compartments or chambers based on design, there are commonalities between all grinders. There is a crushing chamber, some grinders have holes at the bottom that fall into the bowl/storage area, and evenly spaced sharp edges to produce evenly crushed weed. The amount of full rotations will determine how fine you crush the herb.

Enjoy The Dry Herb Vaporizer

Stacking the vape chamber with your ground weed is all about airflow. The fluffy weed should be able to clump together when pressed, however, it should also naturally fill massive gaps, leaving plenty of air pockets. 

Grinding your weed best for a dry herb vaporizer can be achieved with both a 2-part and 4-part grinder. Despite the differences in the various compartments, any grinder will have a grinding chamber that will allow you to grind your cannabis to the consistency you need. 

After getting the perfect grind, fill the vape chamber with cannabis to the top and press slightly. The loosely packed weed should be able to be loose but also firm enough to not spill when turned upside down. 

Another way to check if you have packed it too tight is to put the mouthpiece on and try to pull through. If you can’t taste the weed, then it is probably packed tight.
