There are two kinds of vaporizers ruling the lush and abundant pastures of the vaporizing world- conduction and convection. Conduction was the method which blazed a trail across the vaporizing landscape for decades. A pioneer of a method which set the standard for vaporizing excellence.
But with advent of convection technology we have a new type of heating method which is taking the vaporizer world by storm. Convection is rapidly becoming the essential way for vaping enthusiasts to vape their precious herbs.
Convection technology seems to have lit a fire that wont be put out for many a generation. But like everything in life there's a fine line between success and disaster and both methods have their own pros and cons. Depending on the circumstances both conduction and convection can lead to combustion, and other problems, and in this blog I will attempt to educate you minions on what's what.
Conduction Vaporization
Conduction is the method which the vast majority of vape pens use. What happens in this method is that your herbs are situated directly on top of a heating element or coil and when this element comes into contact with your materials they're vaporized.
One of the negatives when it comes to this method is that you can only vape the materials directly on top of the coil. Another negative about his method is that your herbs can be heated unevenly and this may lead to a very inconsistent vaping experience.
This method can also be very prone to combustion issues and this most certainly will be something that you'll want to avoid. There is nothing worse than wasted herb, and so, you'll want to avoid combustion like the plague.

Convection
Convection is the type of technology that is incorporated into most desktops and portables. There are two types of convection vaporizers- fan assisted, and inhalation vortex. Fan assisted convection is where hot air blows into your herbs and this results in a delicious vapor travelling down a mouthpiece.
Both methods are very consistent and should produce some very consistent and mouth-watering draws. Many people feel that convection is the superior method, and in my opinion it is, as the vapes that you'll receive will have that little bit of extra magic.

Overall
Both conduction and convection technologies have their moments and both can offer users some truly marvelous vaping moments. Conduction was the method which led the way for a many a year- flying the flag for the vaping fraternity throughout the globe. But then came convection which took the vaping industry to the next level.
No longer had users to contend with nasty combustion issues on a regular basis- this has become like a thing of the past. And whilst convection is the superior method combustion has its moments too. The moment when everything really changed was when both methods were combined into one. Whoever came up with this fantastic idea we salute you!
Whilst conduction on its own can lead to certain issues, the fact that many vapes are now utilizing both conduction and convection is a
