Qu’est-ce qu’un vaporisateur pour concentrés ?

G Pen Hyer concentrate vaporizer

A concentrate vaporizer is a device made to heat concentrates, the thick oils and extracts made from plant material, until they turn into vapor. Concentrates need more heat than dry herbs, so these vaporizers use heating chambers built for higher temperatures, usually made of ceramic or quartz.

Comment fonctionnent les vaporisateurs pour concentrés?

Most concentrate vaporizers are built from the same basic parts:

  • Batterie: a rechargeable battery powers the device. Most G Pen devices charge by USB-C.
  • Heating chamber: a ceramic or quartz chamber, sometimes with a coil, heats the concentrate until it turns into vapor without burning.
  • Temperature control: many devices have preset heat settings or a temperature you can set yourself. Lower settings bring out more flavor, higher settings give more vapor.
  • Embout: the vapor travels through the mouthpiece as you draw.

Types of Concentrate Vaporizers

Vaporizer pens

Vaporizer pens are small, battery powered devices that fit in a pocket. You put a small amount of concentrate in the chamber, press the button and draw through the mouthpiece. They are simple to use and need no extra equipment. The G Pen Micro II is a good example, with a ceramic chamber and three heat settings.

Electronic rigs and water piece attachments

Larger electronic devices heat a quartz chamber to a set temperature and pass the vapor through water, which makes the draw smoother. The G Pen Hyer et la G Pen Roam have their own water chamber, and the G Pen Connect attaches to a water piece you already own. None of them needs a lighter or an open flame.

Comment utiliser un vaporisateur pour concentrés

Using a vaporizer pen

  1. Charge the battery fully before you use the device for the first time.
  2. Load a small amount of concentrate into the chamber with the loading tool. A little goes a long way, and overfilling can clog the chamber.
  3. Choose a heat setting. Start low; you can always turn it up.
  4. Heat and draw: press the button and draw slowly through the mouthpiece.
  5. Clean it regularly: once the device has cooled down, wipe the chamber and mouthpiece.

  1. Add water to the marked level, or attach the device to your water piece with the right adapter.
  2. Set the temperature. Your manual lists the settings: lower settings give more flavor, higher settings give more vapor.
  3. Chargez le concentré into the heated chamber with the loading tool, or use a heated tool such as the G Pen Melt hot knife.
  4. Draw slowly through the mouthpiece.
  5. Clean it after use: when everything has cooled down, clean the chamber with a cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol, and change the water regularly.

General tips

  • Start low and small: a low heat setting and a small load give the best flavor and leave the least residue.
  • Keep it clean: residue affects flavor and performance, so clean the chamber and mouthpiece often.
  • Store it safely: keep the device and your concentrates away from heat, direct sunlight and children.
  • Look after the battery: use a USB-C cable and charger in good condition, and don’t leave the device charging unattended.

Avantages d'utiliser un vaporisateur pour concentrés

1. No open flame

Electronic heating replaces a lighter or torch, so there is no open flame to handle.

2. Better flavor

Heating below the point of combustion keeps more of the natural aroma and flavor of the concentrate.

3. Portable and convenient

Pens and portable rigs are small, rechargeable and easy to take with you.

4. Control over temperature

Preset or adjustable heat settings let you choose between more flavor and more vapor.

5. Less waste

Even heating means you use only what you load, with less left behind in the chamber.

Acheter un vaporisateur pour concentrés

When you choose a concentrate vaporizer, think about how and where you will use it. A pen like the Micro II is the easiest to carry. A device with a water chamber gives a smoother draw and more control, but it is bigger. Also look at the chamber material (ceramic for flavor, quartz for fast heat-up), battery life and charging, how easy it is to clean, and whether spare parts are available. Every device you buy from us comes with the Garantie légale de 2 ans.
