A vaporizer is a device that functions by heating the flowers or oils to a specific temperature causing them to release an odorless vapor that is then inhaled directly. Studies have shown that vaporizers are a healthier alternative to smoking as the devices are designed to produce an inhalable vapor that preserves the active ingredients of cannabis without destroying the material which could lead to intake of harmful substances.
