Vaporization Temperature???

What is the best temperature for vaporizing marijuana? A simple google search gave me temperatures ranging between 200F to 450F. Surely there must be a specific tempurature...or at least a narrower range.

 

the lowest temp you can get a mist of the THC and moisture with. If the weed looks burnt, thats because it is, and you're vapping too hot. Sorry, I can't help more. I've got an old school vap, and I just know to turn it to the 4 oclock position. LOL

 

What kind of vaporizer do you have?

NORML suggests this:
The vaporizer produced THC at a temperature of 185° C. (365° F.) while completely eliminating three measured toxins - benzene, a known carcinogen, plus toluene and naphthalene. Carbon monoxide and smoke tars were both qualitatively reduced by the vaporizer, but additional testing is needed to quantify the extent of the decrease.

I think this is the Volcano vaporizer, they're talking about. Here's a link to the original study: http://www.torontohemp.com/mapsnorml.htm

 

180-200° C

Im usin my vap right now and i set it to about 170F if you go higher it burns the bad shit

 

I dont understand all of these people talkin high numbers that burn the shit to a brown crisp

 

By adjusting the temperature on your vaporizer, you can literally change the effects your weed has on you.

When I got my first vap I found this site and it helped me with the basics. Now having a few years experience I thought I would share some things I found out.

First of all, the max temp (446F) can be used on the Volcano digital model. Before anyone slams me, please read the complete post. I have a limited supply as I grow my own so that plays a major role in how I use my vap. When crops are in and supply is up, I use a lower temp (350Fish). Tastes better. Better buzz. I also save everything: all clippings, stems and vaporized material. As supply dwindles I revamp vap'd material at a higher temp as well as grinding clippings, etc. Usually second vap is close to 400F. More harsh and more work but you get a buzz. When all else fails, I'll revamp yet again at max temp (446F). Even harsher but hey a buzz is a buzz. Then I do it again at max temp. So far I am up to 5th vamp. Can you tell my crop is slow this year? Probs with grow closet. Anyway some hints that help:

Always grind. I have two grinders: the cheap plastic one which does good at breaking material down into really small bits and a Diamond grinder. When supply is up I only use the Diamond-makes slightly bigger pieces and catches the keef. As I revamp I use the plastic one.

Play with how much to put in the bowl. I usually go 3/4 but sometime need to go more or less.

Clean all the parts and SAVE THE SCRAPPING!!!! If you let it build up while you vap at a lower temp you can get some really potent scrapping ideal for one hitter.

Be patient. First batch the vap comes quick but the more you vap the material the longer it takes to produce.

So to answer the question "what is the best temperature to vaporize? My answer is from low 300's to the max, depending on your supply. Hopefully you have so much that you never have to get above 400. But if not I hope this helps.

Save yourself....no one else will.
