Vaping cannabis has become a popular alternative to smoking. It offers an alternative way to consume cannabis without the harmful effects of smoking. However, for a beginner, the world of vaping can seem overwhelming. Here is a guide to help beginners get started with vaping cannabis.
What is Vaping?
Vaping is the process of inhaling vapour through an electronic device known as a vaporizer. Vaporizers heat the cannabis to a temperature that is high enough to release the cannabinoids and terpenes but not high enough to burn the plant material.
Why Vape Cannabis?
Vaping cannabis is considered a healthier alternative to smoking. Smoking cannabis produces harmful toxins and carcinogens that can damage the lungs. Vaping, on the other hand, produces vapour that is cleaner and safer to inhale.
Vaping also offers a more discreet way to consume cannabis. The vapour produced by vaping is less pungent than smoke, making it less likely to attract attention.
Types of Vaporizers
There are two main types of vaporizers: desktop and portable. Desktop vaporizers are larger and are designed for home use. Portable vaporizers are smaller and can be carried around for on-the-go use. We recommend trying the TOQi device – check it out in-store.
Desktop vaporizers are generally more expensive but offer better vapour quality and more precise temperature control. Portable vaporizers are more affordable and offer more convenience but may not produce the same quality of vapour as desktop vaporizers.
Types of Cannabis Concentrates
Cannabis concentrates are products that are made by extracting the cannabinoids and terpenes from the cannabis plant. These concentrates are then used to vape. Here are some of the most common types of cannabis concentrates:
- Wax – a sticky, waxy substance that is high in THC
- Shatter – a brittle, glass-like substance that is also high in THC
- Oil – a liquid concentrate that is easier to vape than wax or shatter
- Cartridges – pre-filled oil cartridges that can be attached to a vaporizer

Tips for Beginners

You can always take more later, but you can’t undo an overly potent dose.
2. Make Sure You Have the Right Temperature Setting
Different materials require different temperature settings to vaporize properly.
3. Check the Battery Life Before Each Session
If the battery is running low, you may not be able to get the full effects of your material.

Residue can accumulate and affect the taste and potency of your material.
5. Store Your Material in an Airtight Container
This will help keep it fresh and potent.
6. Be Mindful of the Effects
Don’t drive or operate heavy machinery while under the influence of your vaporizer.
