Using a marijuana vaporizer is a great way to safely enjoy the thc effects of the cannabis plant. The only downside to using a vaporizer is that the heat of the vapor can send a person into a wild coughing fit. Think along the lines of a 3 foot bong cough attack. When you come out of it you will be as high as you have ever been in your life, but it's not exactly a fun way to get there. A good way to avoid this problem is to use a vaporizer wand and whip. The wand is a glass piece on the end of a hose that you fill with weed and apply to the vaporizer. The whip is a long hose attached to the wand that is hit much like a hookah. This small amount of extra time and space allows the vapor to cool before entering your lungs. So you can take large hits without annihilating your lungs and throat. A vaporizer wand is an invaluable accessory for any vaporizing setup. 

Glass is an ideal material for smoking or vaporizing marijuana. Its properties allow it to remain cool while smoking and provide crystal clear hits. The same is true when it comes to vaporizing marijuana. Using a glass vaporizing wand adds dramatically to the enjoyment of inhaling vapor. These are relatively cheap accessories that often include a stylish glass mouthpiece. There are two basic types of vaporizer wand, ground and un-ground. This has to do with the finish on the end of the wand and effects how the accessory can be used. 

The ground vaporizer wand has a finished surface that gives the glass a matte appearance. This type of wand can be used hands free as the friction from the finished surface allows it to stick to the vaporizer. When the vapor is ready you just have to pick up the whip and take a smooth vapor hit. The un-ground vaporizer wand gives the user a more hands on approach. The smooth finish of this wand will not stick to the vaporizer so it must be pressed on by hand. The benefits of this method are that you are able to spin the wand over the vaporizer to evenly heat all of the marijuana. Using the ground wand will require you to constantly stir and refresh the bowl. But the hands free method allows you to add additional vaporizer accessories, such as a water attachment. Both vaporizer styles have their pros and cons and it really just comes down to what kind of vaporizer set up you have. 

A great place to find vaporizer wands online is vapornation.com. They sell a variety of artistically designed glass wands. There are plain clear glass wands and more detailed colored glass wands and mouthpieces. On this site you can also purchase replacement pieces for the wand, whip, or the mouthpiece. For the most pleasurable vaporizing experience you should always use a high quality glass wand attached to a glass mouthpiece.
