How to maintain your vaporizer
To preserve the performance of your herbal vaporizer and guarantee a consistently optimal experience, regular maintenance is essential. After each use, empty the chamber, remove any residue with suitable accessories and allow the unit to cool before storing. Keeping it in a dry environment also helps to protect its internal components and prolong its life.
Each portable vaporizer or salon model has its own specific features. It is therefore advisable to consult the manufacturer's instructions. Some devices require more frequent cleaning, while others incorporate materials such as glass, ceramic or stainless steel, requiring adapted maintenance methods.
Careful maintenance not only ensures cleaner, more pleasant steam, but also maximum vaporizer life.

Questions about herbal vaporizers?
What is a dry herb vaporizer?
An herbal vaporizer is a device designed to heat dry herbs to a controlled temperature in order to release their active compounds in vapor form. The principle is based on precise heating – by conduction, convection or a combination of the two – which extracts the aromas and active ingredients without reaching the point of combustion. This approach produces a cleaner, more controlled vapor, faithful to the aromatic profile of the material used.
What's a portable vaporizer?
A portable vaporizer is a compact device designed for use on the move. It is battery-powered and features a reduced heating chamber, optimized for rapid temperature rise. Portable models emphasize mobility, ergonomics and ease of use, while offering different types of heating (conduction, convection or hybrid) depending on the manufacturer’s design.
What is a salon vaporizer?
A salon vaporizer is a larger device designed for home use. Mains-powered, they generally feature a larger chamber, a more powerful heating system and very precise temperature control. These models are designed for long sessions, stable extraction and more generous steam production, often via balloon or hose depending on the system.
What is the difference between conduction and convection?
Conduction and convection are the two main heating technologies used in herbal vaporizers.
-
Conduction: plant material is heated by direct contact with a hot wall. This process ensures rapid temperature rise and immediate extraction. On the other hand, heating may be less uniform if the material is not well distributed in the chamber. Conduction vaporizers are often more compact and easier to use.
-
Convection: hot air circulates through the chamber, passing through the herbs to extract their active compounds. Heating is more even, more gradual and generally more faithful to the aromatic profile. Convection vaporizers are often appreciated for the quality of their vapor and their thermal precision.
In short: conduction favors speed and compactness, while convection favors more uniform extraction and a more accomplished aromatic rendering.
Why are some herbal vaporizers more expensive?
The price of an herbal vaporizer varies mainly according to its design and the technologies incorporated. Several elements directly influence cost:
-
Materials used: borosilicate glass, stainless steel, heat-resistant alloys or high-end engineering plastics.
-
Heating technology: conduction, convection or more complex hybrid systems.
-
Precise thermal control: simple analog setting or advanced digital management with sensors.
-
Manufacturing quality and durability: component solidity, circuit reliability, wear resistance.
-
Ergonomics and design: compactness, optimized airflow, ease of maintenance, user interface.
Top-of-the-range models often feature more stable heating, better temperature management, premium materials and superior longevity. Conversely, very basic vaporizers focus on a lower price, a simpler experience and a generally shorter lifespan.
When should you change the herb in a dry herb vaporizer?
The ideal moment to replace the material in an herbal vaporizer depends above all on the temperature used and the behavior of the chamber during the session. In practice, the material is usually refilled when it has lost its aromatic and thermal appeal.
When the aromas become faint, the vapor becomes discreet and the material takes on a uniform brown color, this indicates that the volatile compounds have been fully extracted. At this point, the chamber has delivered all it can, and it’s time to replace the herbs to maintain efficient extraction.
