Choosing the Right Device: A Guide for Your Comfort and Needs

Choosing the right device can be intimidating, but we are here to help ease any concerns. If you are sensitive to heat or face any lung-related issues like asthma, you’ll want to steer clear of conduction vapes like the PAX, Starry, or DynaVap. 

This is because the herbs have to contact the heater directly. A conduction device tends to emit warmer vapor but can provide very heavy body effects. Stirring your herbs will help get a nice and even extraction.

A convective device is best for smoother vapor, as fine-tuning a convective device can help provide an experience that is best suited for users, which is more forgiving on the lungs and throat, especially at lower temps. These devices work best by using hot air over the surface area of your herbs. Similar to conduction devices, stirring is essential to get a nice and even extraction.

Lastly, we have hybrid devices that are the best of both worlds. These devices tend to offer and highlight both features that conductive and convective devices use, and they offer nice and even extractions without stirring. These devices also tend to have a learning curve that is simple to overcome and are great for novice users.
