Finding the best dry herb vape temperature for weed is very important. To a beginner, temperature settings may seem trivial; however, savvy vapers know better.
The reality is that vaping weed at specific temperatures not only changes the smoking experience, but alters the high as well. Considering how picky we are about our weed preferences, it's important for us to understand the best vape temperature for our needs.
Let's see what vaping is about and why temperature is important.

What is Vaping?
To understand the best dry herb vape temperature for weed, we need to see how it ties into the whole vaping process. We focus in this article on vaping dry herbs as opposed to THC infused vape e-liquids.
How Does Vaping Work?
Vaping is the best way to inhale weed - specifically because no weed gets inhaled. With combustion, we generate tons of hydrocarbons, chemicals and particles from the dry herb. Vaping takes those extras out of the equation, providing a direct bridge between ourselves and the THC.
The cannabinoids, terpenes and other compounds in the herb boil at a much lower temperature than combustion. Vapes take advantage of this. Instead of a flame, they use a heat element to generate a temperature high enough to boil the compounds.
Once boiled, these chemicals vaporize into an inhalable aerosol.
All this leaves behind is a chamber of browned weed. Since we inhale vaporized material rather than burnt plant matter, it offers a cleaner, smoother and - most importantly - safer experience.

What are the Benefits of Vaping?
Aside from discovering the best vape temperature for our strains and saving our lungs a lot of trouble, there are other great reasons to vape.
Vaping Uses Less Weed
Joints, bongs and pipes take a decent amount to completely fill, while cannabis edibles require a truckload of herb. Vaping is the golden ticket. Out of all the previous options, vapes use the least amount of dry herb.
Vaping is More Efficient
Anyone who's vaped knows that vaping makes you higher, faster, with less herb. This is because we get more THC in a single hit from a vape. When lit on fire, many of the cannabinoids and terpenes just evaporate, never to be inhaled.
This translates to lost potency when smoking. But since vapes only heat up enough to boil - but not evaporate - the compounds, we get every milligram the small bowl can muster.
Vaping is More Discreet
One of the biggest problems with weed is the smell it leaves behind. It can be a real pain to those around you and a dead giveaway about what you're doing.
While vapes do leave behind a mild scent, it's extremely short-lived. This lets people medicate almost anywhere without raising any alarms.
Vaping is More Convenient
Using weed always requires some tools. Lighters, rolling papers, pipes and bongs take more effort or are too cumbersome (you can't exactly light up a bong in public) to go out in public. Joint and pipe smokers might be able to take their weed outside, but not without letting the smell put a target on their backs.
Vapes require no extra tools - just the device and some dry herb. Many are tiny and easy to hid in purses or pockets, while most handheld models are small enough to hide effectively.

Other Cannabinoids, their Benefits and the Best Dry Herb Vape Temperature
THC isn't the only cannabinoid relevant to vaping. The impact of some additional ones dictates what you feel is the best vape temperature. Cannabidiol (CBD) Cannabigerol (CBG), cannabichromene (CBC), Cannabinol (CBN) and tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV) all have different recreational and medical effects.
Although these substances occur in low concentrations (typically around 1% for most strains), they can make a substantial difference.
CBD
CBD is arguably the second most commonly-known cannabinoid, next to THC. Its lack of intoxicating effects, coupled with a myriad of health benefits, took consumers and patients by storm.
Most notably, research found promise for CBD as an effective treatment for severe epilepsy, resulting in the introduction of Epidolex. Produced in the UK, this is the first CBD pharmaceutical drug.
Aside from anti-convulsant properties, CBD is known to inhibit the growth of tumors, reduce anxiety, improve sleep, treat pain and help with gastrointestinal issues - to name a few.
CBD's boiling point is 180˚C (356˚F).
CBG
CBG is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid. Even in its low concentration, it shows tremendous benefits. Some of these include treatment for glaucoma, inflammation, neurological degenerative diseases, cancer inhibition, and appetite stimulation.
CBG's boiling point is 52˚C (126˚F), giving it the lowest boiling point of all the four cannabinoids on our list. In fact, this compound will even vaporize long before THC or CBD.
CBC
Another underrated cannabinoid, CBC is also non-intoxicating. Although research into this is rather light, CBC shows promise in a lot of ways. From what we know so far, CBC may be an effective cancer-fighter, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, neuroprotectant, neurostimulant, and antidepressant. It's even effective at combating acne.
CBC has a boiling point of 220˚C (428˚F) - the highest on our list. Only high-temperature devices will be able to harness this compound.
CBN
Unlike CBG and CBC, CBN has intoxicating effects, just like THC; however, the intoxication is quite weak compared to the potency of THC. It does, however, promote mental sedation. As a result, it provides a relaxing experience for recreational users and helps with conditions like stress, insomnia, anxiety, and PTSD.
The boiling point of CBN is 185˚C (365˚F).
THCV
THCV is molecularly similar to THC, causing it to also induce intoxication; however, its other benefits radically differ from THC.
One notable difference is that THCV is an appetite suppressant, while THC tends to stimulate hunger. Medical users who suffer from nausea or appetite loss need to be careful not to use strains high in THCV (above 0.3%).
THCV also helps regulate blood sugar, calm anxiety, promote bone growth and mitigate Alzheimer's symptoms.
THCV's boiling point is the same as CBC's, at 220˚C (428˚F).

The Best Dry Herb Vape Temperature for CBD
Due to its popularity, let's take moment to examine vaping CBD in more detail. As we've seen, CBD has some essential therapeutic benefits. More importantly, we now have documented cases of patients showing dramatic improvement with certain conditions after using CBD.
If you use cannabis for CBD's therapeutic purposes, then it's important to take note of this study fromBMC Pharmacology and Toxicology. The study examined the impact of temperature difference on CBD vaporization.
They vaporized separate batches of CBD at 210oC (410oF) and 230oC (446oF). After repeating the experiment several times, they found that CBD yield was higher at 230oC.
The experiment also showed that simply adding a higher amount of CBD did nothing to improve yield, as it simply saturated the area and coagulated as resin in the vaporizer's balloon. This shows that temperature matters much more than dosage.
What we can learn is that, although CBD's boiling point is much lower, patients relying on CBD should set their vapes to 230oC (446oF) for maximum benefit.

Terpenes
A lot of smokers feel that terpenes determine the dry herb's flavour. While this is certainly true, it's also just the tip of the iceberg. Terpenes play a key role in the therapeutic and recreational effects of cannabis.
Terpenes are oily compounds found throughout the plant kingdom. Like cannabinoids, each terpene has a specific boiling point that vapers need to keep in mind.
B-Caryophyllene
B-caryophyllene is known to give dry herb a spicy flavor akin to black pepper. It's also highly beneficial against inflammation, depression, pain, anxiety, and cancer.
Caryophyllene's boiling point is 199oC (390oF).
Alpha-Pinene
Alpha-pinene provides a powerful flavor reminiscent of pine trees. Its benefits include fighting things like inflammation and asthma while supporting memory and increasing alertness.
Pinene boils at 155oC (311oF)
Myrcene
Myrcene gives certain plants a strong scent, such as with mangoes, basil or lemongrass; however, people particularly like it for its anti-cancer, sedative, analgesic, antibiotic and anti-inflammatory effects.
Myrcene vaporizes at 166oC (330.8oF).
Terpineol
Terpineol gives off a pine-like, floral, herbal aroma. It's also effective at causing sedation. At the same time, terpineol helps fight germs and cancer, while functioning as an antioxidant.
Terpineol evaporates at 217oC (422.6oF).
Limonene
Limonene is most commonly found in citrus fruits, giving them their "citrusy" taste and smell. It also happens to helpful as an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-cancer and metabolism booster.
Limonine vaporizes at 177oC (350.6oF).
Linalool
Linalool has a distinct lavender aroma with a hint of spice. This terpene is particularly effective against epilepsy. Additionally, it fights bacteria, anxiety, and depression.
Linalool boils at 198oC (388.4oF).
Terpinolene
Terpinolene's flavor is a mix of floral, citrus and pine. Its therapeutic benefits include fighting cancer, bacteria, and fungus, in addition to sedative and antioxidant properties.
Terpinolene vaporizes at 184oC (363.2oF).
Nerolidol
Nerolidol's aromas are fruity and floral. It specializes in fighting microorganisms, such as fungus, parasites, and bacteria.
Nerolidol's boiling point is 122oC (251.6oF)
Ocimene
Ocimene has a rather complex aroma - wood-like and herbal, yet sweet. It has powerful applications against infections, fighting viruses, bacteria, and fungi as an antiseptic. Ocimene is also sought out for its decongestant properties.
Ocimene reaches a boiling state at 100oC (212oF)
Guaiol
Guaiol has a pine aroma similar to pinene. Research suggests that this compound can be harnessed as an anti-inflammatory and antiseptic.
Guaiol boils at the extremely low temperature of 92oC (197.6oF)

What is the Best Dry Herb Vape Temperature?
This question is difficult to answer - mainly because the answer itself depends on individual needs. A temperature that one user enjoys can be too intense for another.
With this in mind, the question shouldn't be "what is the best vape temperature?" Rather, the real issue is "what is the best vape temperature for me?"
As we saw earlier, there are several cannabinoids at play that we don't know as much about. Each requires a certain minimum temperature to vaporize. Adjusting a vape's heat accordingly allows you to include or exclude certain compounds.
Below, we'll examine the temperature ranges for dry herb vaping, along with their recreational and therapeutic benefits.
[/av_textblock]
[av_textblock size='' font_color='' color='' av-medium-font-size='' av-small-font-size='' av-mini-font-size='' av_uid='av-jnbaartw' admin_preview_bg='']
Low
157˚C (315˚F) to 180˚C (356˚F)
Ideal for a mild high that leaves users feeling productive and alert, but euphoric and relaxed.
This is essentially the bare minimum. Users who want the benefits of THC need a minimum of 157˚C (315˚F). By 180˚C (356˚F), CBD evaporates.
As a result, the high will consist of THC alone; or THC and CBD. CBG will also be present, considering we are long past its boiling point.
Ultimately, this low range is best for flavor and mild mental intoxication. Bodily effects or "couchlock" won't be an issue, so most people will still be able to function.

Moderate
180˚C (356˚F) - 219˚C (426˚F)
Best for moderate intoxication, increased sensations, mood-enhancement and relaxation without complete functional impairment.
At this point, there are some noticeable differences. First, the vapor will feel hotter and harsher. Second, flavor will still be good, but not the same quality as lower settings.
Most importantly, however, the addition of CBN will slightly increase the high, while causing physical sedation. This medium range is a good balance of cerebral effects and body high. It's still possible to get through the day after vaping at this temperature, but expect to feel at least slightly slowed down.

High
220˚C (428˚F) and Above
For strong intoxication, euphoria, sleep and relaxation
At this point, every relevant cannabinoid gets involved, bringing a slew of recreational experiences and therapeutic benefits. The most noticeable immediate difference is flavor and temperature. Taste will be comparatively muted and the vapor is quite harsh.
However, CBC and the intoxicating THCV boil, resulting in the most potent, sedating high a strain can offer. At this point, users become incapacitated by the high, making normal function very difficult.

At What Temperature Will All of the Weed be Fully Vaped?
As we've seen, cannabinoids and terpenes boil at different temperatures. If your vape isn't set to the appropriate heat level, some of these compounds will remain inert. Put simply, there's only one way to efficiently use up all of the weed in your chamber and get enough "bang for your buck".
The only way to obtain every possible drop of vapor is to ensure that all of the cannabinoids and terpenes vaporize. Achieving this requires you to vape at a temperature of 230oC (428oF). This just surpasses the boiling points of every compound while keeping the temperature safely below combustion levels.

Choosing the Right Strain vs. Choosing the Right Temperature
It's probably clear by now that vaping isn't for the faint of heart. A perfect, customized experience requires in-depth knowledge about compounds and boiling points.
But frankly, there's an easier way to find the right balance. While vaping at different temperatures will affect the strength and nuances of your high, the biggest driver in this regard is strain.
Every strain exhibits its own unique behaviors - even if they're minor. Some hit hard, even at low temperatures, while other require a lot of heat for a satisfying high. Others take effect quickly, but some are delayed ("creeper weed").
Then of course we have the uplifting/sedating effects of different strains. While boiling certain terpenes and cannabinoids may add specific effects, the overall nature of the dry herb is what dictates your experience. This is where the whole "indica/sativa" categorization comes from (although it's actually not scientifically valid).
In the end, if you vape a strain that's known to be primarily sedating or uplifting, then you'll experience those effects accordingly. Temperature will have minimal impact.
The only instance in which temperature should really matter is if individuals use cannabis for treating a specific medical condition. In this case, choosing a strain with the right terpenes and cannabinoid levels is important, but so is vaporizing it at the correct temperature to harness these compounds.
