Best Temp To Vape Weed - NEBULA

All of these cannabinoids, terpenoids and flavonoids found in the Cannabis plant have different boiling points. At certain temperatures, certain compounds will be boiling primarily and the chemical structure of your vapor will differ according to the compounds that are boiling primarily at that particular temperature.

This leads us to the next point:

Aside from the strain, you’re vaping (which honestly has the biggest impact), the chemical structure of your vapor, which is (in part) formed by your temperature, will decide the pharmacological effects, potency and taste of your vapor.

So once you’ve found your perfect strain, when determining the best temperature to vape your perfect strain at, you first have to ask yourself what your goal is: What do you want to achieve while vaping your herb?

To give some examples:

• You could be a medical user who’s mainly looking for the physical and painkilling (analgesic) effects of cannabis;
• You could be a recreational user whose goal is to go for mainly the euphoriant effects.

Depending on the effects you’re looking for, you will benefit most from the presence and/or absence of certain cannabis compounds. And you can control the presence and/or absence of these compounds with specific temperatures and temperature ranges.

Generally speaking:

• Higher temperatures (above 200°C) provide a higher ratio of the type of cannabinoids that have an effect on your body (CBD, CBN, CBC);
• While lower temperatures provide a higher ratio of the type of cannabinoids that have an effect on your mind and consciousness (THC).

Here’s a simple guideline:

• 320°F(160°C) – 356°F(180°C): Very light mostly mental medication and best for flavour (great if you still have a lot to do that day);
• 356°F(180°C) – 392°F(200°C): Great flavour with good medication level, bodily effects will be more apparent;
• 392°F(200°C) and up: Best if you don’t have anything else to do that day, very strong level of medication, heavy bodily effects.

320°F(160°C) – 356°F(180°C)

In this temperature range, you will have a higher ratio of the type of cannabinoids that have an effect on your mind and consciousness (THC mostly). This doesn’t mean that the ‘physical’ cannabinoids and terpenoids like CBD, CBN, Linalool, and α-terpineol aren’t present at all, but it does mean that THC will be the dominant cannabinoid in your vapor. THC is the psychoactive cannabinoids in marijuana and primarily responsible for the ‘high’.

Also, the speed of extraction within this temperature range, won’t be as high as in the higher temperature ranges, meaning your vapor will pack less punch. You will get a light mostly mental medication, which is great if you still have a lot to do that day. It’s also the best temperature-range for flavour preservation and the best temperature-range to really taste your herb without any harshness.

356°F(180°C) – 392°F(200°C)

In this temperature range, you will have a balanced ratio of the type of cannabinoids that have an effect on your mind and body. The ‘physical’ cannabinoids and terpenoids like CBD, CBN, Linalool, and α-terpineol will start to be more present in your vapor. But remember that to get high amounts of CBD, it’s important you vape a high-CBD strain. If you vape a regular high-THC strain, chances are you won’t be getting very significant amounts of CBD no matter what temperature you vape at.

In general, you will get a stronger mental medication because the speed of THC-extraction will be higher than in the lower temperatures, which can be too much if you still have a lot to do that day. The bodily effects will also be more apparent: you might get a bit of a lethargic feeling (depending on your strain and how well your marijuana is cured). The flavor stays well in this temperature range.

392°F(200°C) – 446°F(230°C)

In this temperature range, you will have a higher ratio of the type of cannabinoids and terpenoids that have an effect on your body (CBD, CBN, CBC, Linalool, and α-terpineol). Your medication will have a strong physical aspect to it, which is great if you don’t have anything to do that day. But your mental medication can also be more intense here because the speed of THC-extraction will be very high in this temperature range. Your vapor will pack a real punch. Depending on your vaporizer and vaping-setup, the flavor might deteriorate in this temp-range: it can get harsh.

Important note: Please do realize that when you vape above 392°F(200°C) you risk inhaling benzene and other toxic by-products. Less than with smoking, but still something to consider.
