Vaporizer Glossary

A feature allowing users to control how freely air flows through the vaporizer

The heating element in a concentrate vaporizer that vaporizes wax or oil on contact with a heated coil or ceramic surface

Already Vaped Bud — cannabis that has been vaporized and can be repurposed in edibles

A detachable bag that fills with vapor from a desktop vaporizer, allowing portable consumption

Heating method using hot air passed through cannabis, producing clean and flavorful vapor

Heating method where cannabis contacts a heated surface directly, offering faster heat-up times

A component between the oven and mouthpiece that cools vapor before inhalation

A lid placed over a dab nail or atomizer to restrict airflow, lowering the effective vaporization temperature for smoother, more flavorful hits

A dabbing technique where concentrate is loaded into a cool nail before heating, preserving terpenes and producing smoother vapor at lower temperatures

Active compounds in cannabis including THC and CBD that produce therapeutic and psychoactive effects

A small metal container pre-loaded with cannabis that drops into the oven for mess-free loading

The effort required to inhale through a vaporizer, ranging from restricted to free-flowing

The heated surface on a dab rig where concentrates are placed to vaporize, available in quartz, titanium, or ceramic

The process of vaporizing cannabis concentrates by applying them to a heated surface and inhaling the resulting vapor through a rig

An electric dab rig that uses battery-powered heating instead of a torch, offering precise temperature control and portability for concentrate vaporization

Combines convection and conduction heating for balanced vapor quality and efficiency

A heating method that uses electromagnetic fields to heat a metal element without direct contact, offering rapid heat-up and no coil degradation

A cannabis concentrate made from flash-frozen plant material that preserves the full terpene profile for maximum flavor

A vaporizer that heats cannabis only while inhaling, allowing single hits between breaks

The ability to use a vaporizer while it charges, so you never have to wait for battery

A bucket-shaped quartz nail used for dabbing that provides pure flavor and even heat distribution for concentrates

A vaporizer designed for continuous use over several minutes, heating cannabis throughout the session

Small balls of quartz, ruby, or ceramic placed inside a banger that spin during inhalation to distribute heat and maximize concentrate vaporization

Aromatic compounds in cannabis responsible for flavor and aroma, best preserved at lower temperatures

A flexible tube connected to a desktop vaporizer for direct-draw vapor delivery
