So to all of the newcomers out there, let Wulf wish you all a warm welcome to dry herb vapor and without further adieu follow along as we guide you through the basics of buying your first ever dry herb vape.

Are Dry Herb Vapes Good For Beginners?

The good news is that dry herb vapes are absolutely perfect for beginners. By offering you smoother vapor with way less harshness, easy access that does all the heavy lifting for you, and precision temperature control, dry herb vaporizers are one of the best choices for first timers.

As opposed to traditional combustion options, dry herb vapes allow you to simply pack up and enjoy! With your battery taking care of heating your materials, letting you sit back and focus more on enjoying your vapor.

This way you don’t get annoyed in the process and can instead dip your toes into the waters of dry herbs in a more comfortable and newbie friendly manner.

Dry herb vapes also allow for more gradual session enjoyment, letting you more casually puff away instead of the direct and intense experience of concentrate vapes. So if you're split between the two, we recommend dry herb vapes when starting out.

This way when it comes time to buy your first dry herb vape, you’ll be able to click add to cart with confidence and enjoy a far better inaugural experience.

How Does a Dry Herb Vape Work?

They work by heating your dry herbs to the point of vaporization, all without ever coming close to combustion. By drawing from your mouthpiece you cause air to pass through and allow for those ultra satisfying clouds to be ripped with ease.

The Wulf Faze works just like this in order to deliver you strong clean flavors, all with the light smoothness of vapor making for the best possible beginner experience.

Are Dry Herb Vaporizers Better Than Smoking?

Yes, dry herb vaporizers offer a much cleaner experience when compared to smoking. This makes vapes a strong alternative that delivers the same experience, all with far better flavor and smoothness included.

What Temperature Is Good For Beginning?

We recommend starting with the lowest settings on your dry herb vaporizer when beginning, as this will give the smoothest and least harsh clouds. As an added bonus, the cooler settings boost your flavor production so you’ll be able to really taste your flower to its fullest.

Higher temperatures cause your dry herb vapor to be harsher, but also far more potent. So if you ever want to really step things up after you’ve gotten comfortable with your vape, try dialing up the heat for stronger clouds.

What Grind Works Best for Dry Herb Vaporizers?

In order to properly pack your dry herb vape, you’ll have to first grind your herbs to a medium consistency that allows for proper airflow, all without coming close to the point of being powdery fine. This allows for better clouds and ensures you're getting 100% from your vape.

How Much Should I Spend On My First Dry Herb Vaporizer?

When purchasing your first dry herb vaporizer, we recommend spending less than $100 dollars to ensure you don’t over spend. This provides you with enough of a budget range to make a quality decision and hook yourself up with beginner friendly picks like the Wulf Faze.

Are Portable Dry Herb Vaporizers Worth It?

Yes, portable vaporizers are absolutely worth it for beginners and are the best choice to make starting out easy. These compact batteries allow you to take the vapor action on the move, making for a simpler and more flexible level of enjoyment.

This way whether you want to rip your new dry herb vape at the top of a mountain after a hike, while lounging on the beach, or just at your friends place, you’ll be able to do just that with your portable dry herb vape. Simply place it in your pocket and you’re ready to go!
