Essential Oils: vaporizing essential oils like Lavender or Rosemary Extract can offer great benefits to you. There is a lot of literature out there discussing the benefits of inhaling or sniffing the aroma of medicinal herbs in a process called aromatherapy. A vaporizer that functions with essential oils - like Vapir Rise - means that the vaporizer can contain the oil and expose it to heat. This process forms incredibly potent vapor clouds that can be inhaled without irritation. Each essential oil has a different boiling point, so refer to the list below to determine your ideal temperature.
Vapir recommends starting the vaporizer around 320*F and sampling your chosen essential oil. Since each essential oil contains a variety of different terpenes (which are the fragrance molecules listed below) - you can experience a different flavor and effect from one temperature to the next!
