Heat guns vaporizers are extremely flexible and useful devices. Many heat guns can be paired with accessories for use with standard glass water pipes or bag systems.
Heat guns can be used for vaporization of herbal compounds and oils as long as they can be heated to precise temperatures and hold those temperatures. That is the essence of vaporization, pair it with some accessories for the smoking method you would like to use and you are all set.
Vaporization relies on very precise temperatures, the more accurate and stable the heat source the better the vapor produced, so make sure that any heat gun you use is suited for vaporization.
Heat Gun Bong Vaporizer or Bag Vape?
Heat Gun Bong Vaporizer
With the addition of a special bowl to accommodate the heat gun most bong can be converted into vaporizers. These bowls generally have much larger openings than standard water pipe bowls. Herbal matter is placed in the bowl and then the heat gun is applied when it reaches the applied temperature.
These designs can also be used with water or ice for additional filtration if desired though many users find no need to further cool vapor. Some users find this method somewhat clumsy because the heat gun needs to be held steady flush on the bowl for effective vaporization.
Heat Gun Bag Vaporizer
Stand up heat guns can often be used to fill vapor bags with the help of special valve systems. These systems hold the advantage of being easier and more convenient to operate than bong systems. Bags are easy to fill and then vapor ca be consumed leisurely or readily shared. Bag systems do however prevent ice filtration and valve systems can be expensive.
Just about any heat gun should do. It is important that it be clean and functioning properly. Many industrial strength heat guns while capable of vaporizing herbs could be unsuitable because of their current condition. Purchase a new heat gun or ensure any equipment you use is thoroughly cleaned to make sure that any vapor produced is as clean and pure as possible. Remember,tIt is vital that any equipment you use for herbal vaporization is very accurate, more so than is probably need for most industrial uses.

The Herbalaire is a scientific grade convection vaporizer, it is very effective at producing efficient bag hits and is one of the most reliable units available.
The Herbalaire is a tower unit that uses passive convection to heat herbs. It can be used with a kit for whip hits directly from the unit but is more effective when used with a bag system. The Herbalaire is able to produce clean bag hits while vaporizing a minimum amount of plant matter. It does not have any digital controls or fan so is one of the more manual units on the market. However, the simplicity of its design contributes to its reliability. There are reports of Herbalaire’s lasting long past the 2 year warranty each one is sold with when properly maintained.
The Herbalaire is one of the older models of vaporizer still very popular among its enthusiasts. Its staying power is because the unit is extremely durable and well crafted and easy to keep running for a long time. The other advantage of the Herbalaire is that for what it does, efficient clean bag hits, it does very well. Some of the newer vaporizers undoubtedly have more features including digital controls and readouts, powerful fans, or fast heat up times.
While the Herbalaire does not match up in those areas as a durable efficient bag vaporizer it is more than adequate. A big part of the reason that it is so reliable is precisely because it is lacking many of the advanced features of alternative makes. Digital controls, fans, and any other moving part or gadget provides another opportunity for something to break along with convenience. Even though the Herbalaire is controlled with an analog dial it is still one of the easier vaporizers to use. Its notable efficiency is due to a special heating mechanism the Herbalaire is built with that maximizes the active herbal compounds in the the chamber.
Depending on your specific needs and preferences in a vaporizer the Herbalaire may not be for you. But if you want an extremely reliable unit for use with bags and want to make the most out of your herb the Herbalaire may be for you.
