Georgia now sells flower — but the law says you vaporize it, not smoke it. Good news: a vaporizer brings out the terpenes you came for. Turn the dial, or just scroll — the page heats up as you go.

Conduction
Flower touches a hot chamber, like a skillet. Heats up fast and is great for quick puffs, but stir halfway through for an even session.
Convection
Hot air flows through the flower, like an oven. Even, flavorful and efficient — usually costs more.
Hybrid
A mix of both. Most modern portables work this way.
Grind it medium
Coffee-grind texture. Too fine clogs the screen, too chunky heats unevenly.
Terpy: Nice and easy!
