My vaporizer produces little or no vapor. Is that normal?

Vaporizers produce vapor, not smoke. This means the clouds are much thinner than with combustion methods. That's by design, not a defect. More on the difference between smoke and vapor: https://www.zamnesia.com/content/338-the-difference-between-smoke-and-vapor

A few things that affect vapor production:

  • Temperature: higher temperatures produce more visible vapor. Start around 190-210 degrees C for most herbs.
  • Grind: a fine, even grind gives better results than coarse material.
  • Pack: fill the chamber firmly but not too tight. Air needs to flow through.
  • Draw speed: slow and steady draws work better than fast pulls.
