Vaporizer Basics:
Vaporisation is the technique of evaporating certain contents of herbs and oils without burning them. Vaporisers are devices suitable for health, wellness or pleasure applications. The herb or oil is heated up to the exact temperature at which the desired component evaporates. It's the most advantageous way of consumption for many materials and agents for nothing has to be burned to set the elements free, thus by-products are minimized. The by-product of any combustion are often harmful to health hence vaporisation is a safe way to only consume what you need or desire.
As implied the vapor or steam is inhaled, either directly with a hose or mouth-piece for example or indirectly by gathering the vapor in a balloon and afterwards inhaling from the balloon. For domestic use the method with balloon is perfect for nothing gets wasted and the vapor can cool off. For mobile use often the direct inhalation is the more convenient solution.
Some vaporizers are fixed to a certain temperature and thus only suitable for certain herbs and agents. A common temperature in vaporizers ist for example 180°C. The more elaborate and versatile vaporisers offer heat regulation for use with a wide variety of herbs. Common is a temperature range of about 100 to 300°C. By slowly heating up the herbs or oil used it is possible to first vaporize and get rid of all components with a lower boiling point and then, with reaching the temperature needed for the respective component, inhaling.
If you take a look at your herbs after vaporisation you can easily check if you did it all right. The end-product should not have been burnt and should look quite like before only of course shrunk and dehydrated and maybe faded or changed in color for most of the water contained before has escaped.

Vaporisers and Cannabis
Marijuana or hashish are a often mentioned base material for vaporizing. THC is the targeted component. Especially users of medical cannabis often prefer using vaporizers instead of burning the herbs in a waterpipe or rolling joints. First it's much more easy for people inexperienced in rolling joints and second, as mentioned before, vaporizing is much more safe for the health than burning it. In some countries cannabis is prescribed as a means of fighting loss of appetite and weariness, often in context with cancer and special medical treatments like chemo therapy - understandably most of the people concerned don't want to risk further threats to their health by burning up and smoking potentially harmful by-products: Vaporizing marijuana is therefore a neat alternative to consuming THC set free by incineration and is more agreeable than pills because by vaporisation you can dose the consumption much better according to actual, current and individual needs.
