A vape is a portable device that heats liquid particles to create vapor for inhalation. It is also known as an electronic cigarette or e-cig and comes in various designs like cig-a-likes, vape pens, pod mods, box mods, and mech mods. Additionally, there are desktop vaporizers like the Volcano Vaporizer or Arizer Extreme Q. Vape devices that can have fixed temperatures or variable voltage for added versatility, offering enhanced functionality, performance, and flavor.

Vaping cannabis involves using a vaporizer to heat cannabis flower or concentrate to a temperature that releases active compounds into an inhalable vapor. Vaping is often considered a less harmful alternative to smoking as it produces fewer tar and carcinogenic byproducts. The vapor can deliver different effects than smoking, as it is usually more potent and has a quicker onset. However, its effects may also be more short-lived as the body absorbs vapor faster.

Despite its perceived benefits, vaping, like any cannabis consumption method, may still carry potential health risks and side effects. Caution and moderation are essential when using cannabis in any form, and it’s advisable to consult a medical professional if any concerns arise.
