“I bought a cannabis flower dry herb vaporizer. What temperature should my vaporizer be set on to achieve my desired effect?”
The best way to find the heat setting that works best for you is to experiment. Please keep in mind that two flower vaporizers set to the same temperature can sometimes produce a different type of vapor.
Additionally, each strain contains different levels of terpenes and cannabinoids, which contribute to their smell, taste, and effects. These organic compounds volatilize at various temperatures and will alter your experience.
Temperature Setting | Effects | Pros | Cons |
---|---|---|---|
325-350*F
Please remember: THC has a boiling point of 315*F; you do not want to go much lower than 325*F. |
|
| N/A |
350-400*F
At this setting, vapor is thicker and warmer; more access to cannabinoids; richer flavor. |
| Noticeably stronger psychoactive effects from THC. | Can experience minor side effects due to stronger psychoactive effects from THC. |
400-430*F
This setting is best suited for night-time sessions | Intense effects, strong euphoria, lethargy, “couch-lock”. |
| Terpenes will be depleted fast. Hotter vapor may cause coughing. Less flavorful. |

Cannabinoids and terpenes in cannabis have different boiling points. Each organic compound has its own unique function- so you can check the profile of your strain and decide the perfect temperature for exactly what you’re trying to achieve.
Cannabinoid | Boiling Point |
---|---|
CBG | 126*F |
