Grind Guide for Vaporizers
Fine Grind: Best for conduction vaporizers where the herbs touch the heating element directly. More surface area means better heat transfer.
Medium Grind: Ideal for hybrid vaporizers that combine heating methods. This consistency balances good airflow with efficient heating.
Coarse Grind: Perfect for convection vaporizers where hot air passes through the material. The fluffy consistency allows optimal airflow.
Remember that consistent grinding is more important than exact fineness. Hand-torn herbs heat unevenly and waste material, while a proper grinder ensures uniform particle size for better vapor quality and efficiency.
