A hash vape is a device that vaporizes cannabis extracts with the use of temperature controlled vaporization. This is a great way to experience the full effects of cannabis without burning the plant material and causing harmful byproducts like carcinogens, tar, smoke, and carbon monoxide. This type of vaporizer has gained popularity as many doctors now support the use of marijuana for pain relief and other ailments.
Using a hash vape is possible, but it does require a few extra precautions to ensure that the process runs smoothly. Not all vaporizers are suitable for vaping hash, and those that are should be handled with care to minimise the risk of melted hash running into and clogging other delicate parts of the vaporizer.
Vaping Hash: A Comprehensive Guide to Enjoying Concentrated Cannabis
To make a hash vape, first find the highest quality hash you can. Since hash is made from melted down cannabis resin, it contains a lot of sticky, tangled residue that can easily gum up the works if not properly cleaned. To help protect your vaporizer, most users recommend covering any components exposed to the melted hash with degummed hemp fibre. This won’t combust and will not affect the flavour of your vapor, and it will also protect the sensitive parts of your vaporizer from any contamination that may occur during the melting and cooling process.
Some users have reported that adding hemp fibre or cotton can negatively impact the flavour of their vapor, so it is important to test this before going all in. For a less messy option, you can try the not-so-ideal trick of “sandwiching” your hash between some ground up weed. The sweet spot seems to be around 0.1 gram, which will allow you to get about 8-10 draws before risking clogging your vaporizer.
