It all started with pulling on the vape before the vape was up to temp and the flavors were great. We noticed this especially after thoroughly cleaning the vape. Thinking about this, vaping is distilling and different compounds distill out at different temps so it makes sense. We decided to step climb the vape temp first for flavor and then for more effects. Results were good. We had for a long time just set the vape to 390'.
Doing some reading there is evidence to support these findings. The thing is that no one talks about step climbing the temps to enjoy different profiles. The other thing I noticed has to be that there is no discussion in these articles about particularly resinous flowers and how to get the best from them. I guess if they haven't figured out steps then the rest is unreachable. Down the road, it seems reasonable that vapes adopt this and allow you to make different profiles in auto step temperature control
.
Here's the crux of one article.
Higher temperatures (above 200°C) provide a higher ratio of the type of cannabinoids that have an effect on your body (CBD, CBN, CBC);
While lower temperatures provide a higher ratio of the type of cannabinoids that have an effect on your mind and consciousness (THC).
Here's a simple guideline:
320°F(160°C) – 356°F(180°C): Very light mostly mental medication and best for flavor (great if you still have a lot to do that day);
356°F(180°C) – 392°F(200°C): Great flavor with good medication level, bodily effects will be more apparent;
392°F(200°C) and up: Best if you don’t have anything else to do that day, very strong level of medication, heavy bodily effects.
320°F(160°C) – 356°F(180°C)
In this temperature range, you will have a higher ratio of the type of cannabinoids that have an effect on your mind and consciousness (THC mostly). This doesn't mean that the ‘physical' cannabinoids and terpenoids like CBD, CBN, Linalool, and α-terpineol aren't present at all, but it does mean that THC will be the dominant cannabinoid in your vapor. THC is the psychoactive cannabinoids in marijuana and primarily responsible for the ‘high'.
Also, the speed of extraction within this temperature range, won't be as high as in the higher temperature ranges, meaning your vapor will pack less punch.
You will get a light mostly mental medication, which is great if you still have a lot to that day. It's also the best temperature-range for flavor preservation and the best temperature-range to really taste your herb without any harshness.
356°F(180°C) – 392°F(200°C)
In this temperature range, you will have a balanced ratio of the type of cannabinoids that have an effect on your mind and body. The ‘physical' cannabinoids and terpenoids like CBD, CBN, Linalool, and α-terpineol will start to be more present in your vapor. But remember that to get high amounts of CBD, it's important you vape a high-CBD strain. If you vape a regular high-THC strain, chances are you won't be getting very significant amounts of CBD no matter what temperature you vape at.
In general, you will get a stronger mental medication because the speed of THC-extraction will be higher than in the lower temperatures, which can be too much if you still have a lot to do that day.
The bodily effects will also be more apparent: you might get a bit of a lethargic feeling (depending on your strain and how well your marijuana is cured). The flavor stays well in this temperature-range.
392°F(200°C) – 446°F(230°C)
In this temperature range, you will have a higher ratio of the type of cannabinoids and terpenoids that have an effect on your body (CBD, CBN, CBC, Linalool, and α-terpineol).
Your medication will have a strong physical aspect to it, which is great if you don't have anything to do that day. But your mental medication can also be more intense here because the speed of THC-extraction will be very high in this temperature range. Your vapor will pack a real punch.
Depending on your vaporizer and vaping-setup, the flavor might deteriorate in this temp-range: it can get harsh.
Important note: Please do realize that when you vape above 392°F(200°C) you risk inhaling benzene and other toxic by-products. Less than with smoking, but still something to consider.
Here are some of the articles.
