Using a vaporizer is considered to be healthier than smoking because the herb is heated up instead of being combusted. As a result, ideally the vapor doesn't contain the harmful toxins smoke contains. Next to that, vaporizers can save you money in the long-run, as vaporizers are 30–40% more efficient than smoking. Other advantages of vaporizers are their superior flavour, discretion, and the option to control the temperature and dose.
