Temperature when vaping: Effect, aroma and your perfect guide for vaporizers & e-rigs
The right temperature when vaping determines much more than just the vapor density: it influences the aroma , the effect – and ensures a tailor-made experience.
But be careful:
Temperature controls which active ingredients are released – but the variety determines how they work!
Whether you feel a mentally active high or deep physical relaxation depends on your genetics : Sativa -dominant strains tend to have an energetic effect, while Indica -dominant varieties have a calming and body-focused effect.
🌿 Temperature and aroma: fine control for connoisseurs
Many aromatic components – the terpenes – are extremely sensitive to heat:
- Low temperatures (160–180°C) preserve the finest terpene profiles: fruity, floral or lemony notes.
- Medium temperatures (180–200°C) bring out earthy, spicy flavors more strongly.
- High temperatures (200–220°C) can produce heavy, harsh tones – perfect for maximum drug release, but at the expense of the delicate aroma.
🚀 Temperature and effect: How much heat for which feeling?
The rule here is: temperature determines which cannabinoids and terpenes evaporate – but the type of effect depends on your strain !
| Temperature range | Main effect (depending on the variety) | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| 160–180°C | Light, clear effects | Especially terpenes and first cannabinoids active → ideal for creative energy or gentle relaxation |
| 180–200°C | Balanced, deeper effect | More THC is released, initial physical relaxation sets in |
| 200–220°C | Strong, comprehensive effect | Complete extraction → Sativas remain invigorating, Indicas have a physically intense effect |
- With sativa strains, you are more likely to feel mental clarity or euphoria, even at high temperatures.
- With Indica strains, the high heat turns much more clearly into physical heaviness and sedation.
