Intro to Dry Herb Vaporization
For some personal history, Ritual’s founder Patrick originally tried a dry herb vaporizer while living in Texas in the mid-2010s. It was from a well-known company who continues to dominate head shop display cases. However, the device itself tasted like burnt popcorn at best and melted plastic at worst and was a poor enough experience to turn Patrick off of the industry for a decade. After experiencing some health issues, he rediscovered thermal extraction technologies and was astounded at the incredible progress made both in terms of device performance and safety.

The Insane Taroma 360!
With the introduction of the 360 Series the game has changed! How? To start the extra-long coil and new bowl designs means that your herbal material sits in the middle of the heater vs. below it. This means you're getting heat from 360 degrees during your hit leading to previously unseen efficiency of extraction from a ball vaporizer.

The Ball Vape Revolution
There was a time when the only concern I had for flavor was when I'd open up a bag for the first time and take a good long whiff...before setting the stuff ablaze, flavor be damned. The Qaroma has spoiled me and turned me into a cannabis corksniffer. There's nothing quite like savoring a new strain with what feels like a magnifying glass spotlighting every nuance of taste and highlighting different terpene flavors at different temperatures.

The Love of Dabbing
At its worst a dab can leave you coughing, wheezing, drooling, and unreasonably high. That is many people’s first dab experience, but it doesn’t have to be that way. A little bit of education and conservative dosing can lead to a pleasant concentrated experience for just about every user. The benefits of dabbing are much more evident; low residual odor, rapid uptake, and a uniquely mentally “clean” high all make dabbing a helpful consumption method for medical and recreational users alike.

How to Save Money on Weed
For me personally when I switched from 6-8 bong bowls per day to dry herb vaporization it was crazy how far my flower stretched. I did start with a Dynavap which is one of the most efficient devices available, but also had a more powerful desktop to ensure I wasn’t tempted to go back out to the garage for a bowl. The most beautiful part of the conversion process was that I never felt the need to restrict my consumption.
