Vaporizing Effects by Temperature
Vaporizing Effects by Temperature
One benefit of vaporizing is temperature-controlled effects. Different active components are released at different temperatures. Vaporists with devices that can control the temperature can therefore control the effect by knowing which components are released at each temperature.
So goes the theory. In practice, no vaporizer measures the temperature right at the vaporizing material; however, the assumption is that devices with digital displays are applying corrections so that the readout does approximate the actual vaporizing temperature. For those who own such a vaporizer, the table below can help get you exactly where you want to be.
The table was originally collated by FuckCombustion.com member tdavie and was posted in a thread titled Vaporization temperature dependent selection of effects. Tom posted it with the following caveat:
- Don't kill me if it is inaccurate. Don't praise me if it works; merely pass it along if you think it is of any value and forget it if you think it's garbage.

- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 [1] Anti-inflammatory refers to the property of a substance or treatment that reduces inflammation. Anti-inflammatory drugs make up about half of analgesics, remedying pain by reducing inflammation as opposed to opioids which affect the central nervous system. Read the full article at Wikipedia.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 [2] A euphoriant (or euphorigenic) is a type of psychoactive drug which tends to induce feelings of euphoria, the effects of which may include relaxation, anxiolysis, stress relief, mood lift, pleasure, and a rush although these effects are not necessary for a drug to be a euphoriant.

- ↑ 3.0 3.1 3.2 [3] An analgesic (also known as a painkiller) is any member of the group of drugs used to relieve pain (achieve analgesia).Read the full article at Wikipedia.
- ↑ 4.0 4.1 [4] An antiemetic is a drug that is effective against vomiting and nausea. Antiemetics are typically used to treat motion sickness and the side effects of opioid analgesics, general anaesthetics and chemotherapy directed against cancer. Read the full article at Wikipedia.
- ↑ 5.0 5.1 5.2 5.3 [5] An anxiolytic (also antipanic or antianxiety agent) is a drug used for the treatment of symptoms of anxiety. Anxiolytics have been shown to be useful in the treatment of anxiety disorders. Read the full article at Wikipedia.
- ↑ 6.0 6.1 [6] An antipsychotic (or neuroleptic) is a tranquilizing psychiatric medication primarily used to manage psychosis (including delusions or hallucinations, as well as disordered thought), particularly in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Read the full article at Wikipedia.
- ↑ [7] A bronchodilator is a substance that dilates the bronchi and bronchioles, decreasing airway resistance and thereby facilitating airflow. Read the full article at Wikipedia.
- ↑ 8.0 8.1 [8] An antidepressant is a psychiatric medication used to alleviate mood disorders, such as major depression and dysthymia and anxiety disorders such as social anxiety disorder. Read the full article at Wikipedia.
- ↑ 9.0 9.1 9.2 9.3 9.4 [9] A sedative (variant names, tranquilizer or tranq) is a substance that induces sedation by reducing irritability or excitement. Read the full article at Wikipedia, but caution: this article is poorly done.
