It is important to use a base substance when mixing a variety of plants for vaporization. The base (or carrier) substance needn't be an active ingredient in the blend. Quite often, the amount of active substances in an herbal preparation is substantially less than the amount of material needed to fill the vaporization chamber.
Users will enjoy a more efficient inhalation experience if the chamber is filled; the base substances create the necessary bulk. Carriers also help perform other functions. Eucalyptus, for instance, which is one of our personal favorites, can often be used to open the breathing passageways to allow the other active elements in your blend or formula to be more easily absorbed.
The carrier should be as moist or fresh as possible. Always grind the herbs and carriers that you plan to vaporize: this is crucial for the vaporization process. Hot air must pass through your herbs, and finely ground herbs will vaporize more evenly. Here are some carrier substances we recommend and the purposes for which they are best suited:
EucalyptusExcellent carrier because it opens the breathing passageways. Allows easier breathing and deeper penetration of your inhaled mixture. |
MintNice flavor as well as an excellent carrier; it opens the breathing passageways and allows your mixture to penetrate and to be breathed easily. Sage Stronger carrier. Excellent for smoking cessation blends. |
|
Wild LettuceLighter carrier. Excellent for smoking cessation blends. Chamomile: Great smooth flavor. Excellent for calming effects. |
Ground GuaranaCoffee or Raw Ground Chocolate, Excellent aroma. Has an invigorating stimulant effect. |
