Why are so many people making the switch from smoking cannabis to vaping it?
Cannabis use and the way people enjoy cannabis has come a long way in a short period of time, but for many people, unaware of the advances in technology, there’s a whole new world of cannabis consumption available to them, vaping.
Recently, we sat down with Patrick Bitting, the founder and CEO of Ritual Colorado, to talk about Ritual Colorado and its mission to change the way people view cannabis, as well as the products and methods people use to enjoy it.
Combustion Versus Vaporization
For thousands of years, people have been using cannabis predominantly in one way, smoking it.
Up until twenty years ago, this method hadn’t evolved much. People typically enjoyed using cannabis products by smoking them rolled up in a joint, smoking in a water pipe or bong, or a plain pipe. However, all of these methods result in the same thing, combustion, and smoke.
With the advent of vaporization, a new method to consume cannabis arrived.
“We want to show people that there are other ways to consume cannabis, in a cleaner way which only consumes the cannabinoids while avoiding carcinogens that occur as a result of combustion through the smoking process.”
Vaporization, unlike smoking, involves heating the cannabis to the optimal point where the cannabinoids such as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) are released but keeping the temperature low enough not to cause the plant material itself to burn.
Some of the reasons why dry herb vaping is better than smoking include:
- An Overall Better Smoking Experience – Utilizing heat instead of combustion to extract cannabinoids from cannabis delivers a smoother and more flavorful experience compared to smoking.
- It’s Less Harmful to Your Lungs Compared to Smoking – A recent study found that vaping dry herbs such as cannabis had a reduced health risk compared to smoking them. However, it’s important to note that there is always a health risk when inhaling any compounds into your lungs.
- Less Odor – If you’ve ever smoked in a house or vehicle and then returned later, the smell of burning cannabis can linger for an extremely long time. Not only that, but it also lingers for long periods in your clothes, on your skin, and in your hair. Vaping eliminates the majority of odor associated with smoking cannabis and provides you with a much more discreet option to enjoy your favorite cannabis products.
- Saves You Money – Although a premium dry herb vaporizer is a substantial financial investment, you’ll be surprised at how quickly it pays for itself. Vaping dry herbs requires using less dry herb material than smoking while also delivering better results. You’ll spend less money buying cannabis while enjoying a better smoking experience at the same time.

Vaping – The Future of Cannabis Consumption
If you’ve ever used cannabis or walked into a typical cannabis store, you’re already pretty familiar with the basic stereotype of a cannabis user, along with the way most smoke shops are designed. They’re great if you’re already familiar with cannabis, but they can be pretty intimidating for new cannabis users who are just getting started in the world of cannabis.
Ritual Colorado didn’t want to be just another smoke shop.
“Here at Ritual Colorado, we wanted to focus on design, quality, functionality, and clean consumption. We’re trying to bring a more advanced product to consumers, a cleaner alternative to smoking, that not only delivers a better experience but also something that they’re proud to own and display and which fits into a modern design aesthetic.”
The team at Ritual Colorado is focused not only on selling cannabis accessories but also on educating consumers about the potential benefits of switching from smoking cannabis to vaping. So, if you’ve been curious about trying a dry herb vaporizer for yourself or just looking for a little guidance on the best model to suit your needs, you should drop in and have a chat or contact the experts at Ritual Colorado.
