In the history of split personalities we have icons such as Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, Gollum & Smeagol, and even Bruce Banner & the Hulk - despite their differences all of these characters work to appease their dueling selves by reaching a perfect equilibrium.

Now what if we were to tell you that this same existential battle carries over to the world of vaping, via the choice between either dry herbs or concentrates! While similar, each of these materials offers a very different experience that both have their own respective legion of fans.

In step Dual Use Vaporizers to give you the option to allow you to enjoy the best of both materials, without having to ever choose between them!

That’s why Got Vape is going full on Dr. Dry Herb & Mr. Concentrate to give you a definitive guide on the blended world of Dual Use Vaporizers! Keep reading below for a briefer on how these vapes work and what options are available for your sessions right now.

What Are Dual Use Vaporizers?

Dual Use Vaporizers are battery powered devices that allow you to vaporize both dry herb and concentrate materials. As opposed to most vaporizers that focus on one thing, these Dual Use Devices take it upon themselves to go the extra mile.

With one singular device, you are able to enjoy all of the concentrate and dry herb clouds that you can handle. No having to dig through your bag to find your dry herb vape after ripping dabs, with a dual use vaporizer you’ll already have it in your hands.

This makes for far smoother session experiences and gives you the flexibility to roll up to a session with a device that can handle all the goodies your friends bring along. Never say “oh I wish I brought my rig” again when someone rolls up with some fire wax, instead just bring a dual use vaporizer and get the party started!

How Do Dual Use Vaporizers Work?

While we often lump the two materials together, dry herb and concentrate couldn’t be further apart when it comes to their physical properties and optimal vaporization conditions.

Where dry herbs are well dry and able to be manipulated with your hands, concentrates are far stickier to the point that they require specialized tools to be properly enjoyed. Not only that, but concentrates require far higher temperatures for vaporization than dry herbs do - thus why dry herb vapes can’t handle wax and vice versa.

This is where Dual Use Vaporizers come in with their bag of tricks to solve this age old conundrum. The most common solution employed by the likes of the PAX Plus, Sutra Mini, and Exxus Vape Mini Plus - is to have a special container / insert that is dropped into the dry herb oven to instantly convert it to a dab capable machine.

Other vaporizers like the Wulf Mods Flex even go so far as to include two separate chambers each dedicated to the corresponding material. On top of that, the Flex even has dedicated temperature ranges set for each of the materials to provide a fine tuned experience no matter what’s in the oven.

Do Dual Use Vaporizers Let You Use Concentrate and Dry Herbs At The Same Time?

Unfortunately the answer to this question is no. The reality is that dry herbs and concentrates don’t play well together when vaporized thanks to their different temperature needs.

Even Dual Use Vaporizers with all the flexibility are not intended to be used with both at the same time. Instead, you can switch between the two options to experience the mixed effects of vaping both at the same time.

Packing both dry herbs and concentrate in a dual use vaporizer can lead to issues that not only destroy your materials, but even your device itself. That’s why we recommend you never mix the two and always stick to the prescribed methods of each vaporizer.

How To Clean A Dual Use Vaporizer

To keep your clouds smooth and flavorful, we recommend that you take the time to properly clean your Dual Use Vaporizer after using it. As always, make sure to completely power down your device and fully disassemble it to properly go about cleaning.

For Dry Herbs this is going to entail taking the time to scoop out your already vaped materials and brush out any excess before another pack.

Concentrates require a bit more effort, as to deal with these ultra sticky materials you will need to make use of a q-tip or swab lightly dampened with isopropyl alcohol to gently rub the oil container free of any leftovers. Should you encounter any hard to remove clumps in your dry herb container, try out the old isopropyl swab technique we detailed above to work away at the build up.

No matter what material you are cleaning out, always make sure to leave ample time for your device to completely dry before attempting to use it again.
