A vaporizer (or vaporiser) is a device used to release the active ingredients of plant material, commonly cannabis, or tobacco. Vaporizing is an alternative to smoking. Using a vaporizer in the home can brings some much-needed relief. Cut your herb up to increase the surface area. Then place the herb evenly over the plate. Put the glass dome over the ceramic vaporizer. Turn the vaporizer on so that you can see the orange light at the base of the unit. Now leave the vaporizer for 3 minutes. Check back in 3 minutes time to see wether the herb has started to vaporize.

When vaporization starts you should see a fine nearly transparent cloud of vapor swirling around the glass dome. Now inhale the vapor through the tube. The herb grinder should take a 5 minutes to vaporize completely. Inhale until you can see no more vapor. Then kill used herb/ash and go again, if desired. A lot of first time vaporizer users have a tendency to vaporize too much herb because they think they did not get enough. Since the vapor is so thin it emerges that you aren’t getting enough, so its best to experiment. Use the same amount you would usually pack into a bong or pipe.
