What Are Vaporizer Screens?

A largely essential factor in the process of herbal vaporization is the vaporizer screen. When it comes to vapor quality, screens have a significant effect. So, you can imagine why it’s important for a vaper to have a complete understanding of vaporizer screens.

Vape Pen Screens

Do you feel like your vape pan simply isn’t living up to its real potential? You could be well served by using a vaporizer pen glass screen. Mesh metal screens and filters, or 9 mm to 7 mm diameter vaporizer glass screens can be used to reduce unwanted debris and combustion on your beloved vape pen.

According to experienced vapers, when you’re talking about vape pens, glass filters and screens are the preferred method of utilizing your pen with less combustion. The perfect barrier between your herbs and the hot coils is provided by a real glass screen (no crazy materials or plastics). Your herbs will require less heat with which to “burn”. That is, after all, why you are using a vaporizer. For a true vaping experience! Remember, you’re not smoking – you’re vaping.

Your average 7 mm diameter glass screen is the perfect thickness – 1 mm. It’s going to give you a more authentic vaping experience by increasing vapor and decreasing combustion and burning. To reduce combustion, it suspends material above the heating coils. It also discourages debris and gunk build-up, thereby protecting those delicate heating coils. There are also larger screens at 9 mm.

Screens for Stationary Vaporizing Units

When you’re not on the go, you may choose to enjoy the benefits of a desktop vaporizer or stationary vaporizer. Many people that don’t feel like they’re getting the satisfaction they were looking for from portables and handheld units find it with a desktop vaporizer. You may hear them referred to as home vaporizers, tabletop vaporizers, table vaporizers, etc. They’re more expensive, yes ($700 down to $100 or so), but they are also more powerful, and they are bigger. Bigger is better, right? Do a little research and you will likely discover that, as long as you stick with a high-quality vape, the price tag will be well worth what you get.

Most tabletop units come with replacement screens as accessories. If you are unhappy with the quality of the vape you are receiving from your desktop unit, try screens made from various materials. Again, glass is the preferred screen among experienced vapers.

Purchasing Replacement Screens

Considering that you can get a 10 pack of stainless steel vaporizer screens for right around $5.00, there’s really no need to clean screens. Simply change it out if you feel it’s used up, clogged, or too dirty. Glass screens, on the other hand, are pricier but should last longer. Look around online and you might find a five pack for approximately $7.99 or more; but prices and the number of screens in a pack vary. Watch out, however, to make sure that your glass screens are made of real glass. Glass screens that have other materials in them are cheaper, yes. But there is more to it than that, as discussed above. You may also hear glass screens referred to as ceramic screens. Glass can, after all, be referred to as a type of ceramic.

Because your glass screens clearly cost more than those disposable stainless steel screens, you may choose to clean your glass screens when they get dirty and clogged.
