How To Pack A Dry Herb Vaporizer?

April 11, 2023

Rolling a blunt or packing a pipe is very different to packing a dry herb vaporizer. The process is a little bit more technical and requires some more care. Loading a concentrate vaporizer is also different from loading a dry herb vape. Enjoying a good smoke sesh starts with grinding your herbs and loading your chamber up perfectly. Here are the best ways to grind your cannabis and pack it perfectly into your dry herb vape to get the best results out of your vaping experience.

How To Get The Best Hits Out Of Your Dry Herb Vape

There are two main contributing factors when it comes to getting the best hits from your dry herb vape. These include how tightly you pack your herb into your device’s heating chamber and how finely you grind your herb. Serious dry herb vapers will tell you that properly packing your herb is just as important as the quality of your herbs.

Grind Your Herbs Properly

It is important to remember that it takes both practice and patience to learn how to grind and pack your herbs to get the most out of your experience. You will have to figure out the best way to grind your herbs so that it suits your vaping style and your vaporizer’s heating method.

Usually, you will get the best performance from your dry herb vape when you grind your herbs as finely as possible. When using a 4-piece grinder, you can pack your favourite herb in the lid and hold the grinder upside down as you grind. This mimics the action of a standard 2-piece grinder, which naturally makes your herbs finer.

Another tip is to dry out your herbs a little before going to grind it. This will make your herb break down into smaller bits. However, the best herb consistency for your specific device is usually found through trial and error. Generally, the finer your herb is, the bigger the surface area for your heating element, and the better your herb will vaporise.

However, some vaporizers may burn your finely ground flower when the chamber starts to heat up. Finer particles can also get through to the mouthpiece and into your mouth, which is definitely not what you want. With this type of vape, you should still use a grinder, but be sure to leave some more texture to your ground flower.

Pack Your Herbs Properly

The most common issue users have with their dry herb vapes is the result of over- or under-packing the vape. Packing in a lumpy herb mix can result in air pockets, which produces less vapour since more oxygen flows through the device than herb vapour.

Make sure that you cover the entirety of your device’s screen area with herbs. This will increase the surface area and ensure that every particle of air you inhale has come in direct contact with your herbs.

Most dry herb vapes work best when your herb chamber is packed full and fairly tight. If you pack the material in loosely, your herbs will not be heated thoroughly or evenly and will burn out much faster without you getting to feel the full effects.

This will also result in a harsh taste and sub-par vapour production. Once again, grinding is important, as packing your chamber tightly with coarse herbs will restrict the device’s airflow. Think of it like this: when rolling a blunt, you want it nice and firm without restricting airflow. With a dry herb vape, you want your herbs to stay firmly in place without you touching it.

How Full Should I Pack My Chamber?

While most vapes work best when you fill them up to the brim, some vapes work better when you fill them up to about 70% or 80% from the top. Since each vape is different, this process involves some trial and error.

A good way to determine what will work best for your dry herb vape is by checking out reviews from people who own a similar product. Knowing what type of vaporizer you have and how it works best will help you to get the best performance out of it without wasting your herbs in the process of trial and error.
