The focus here is primarily on cannabis. So first a short overview of how THC behaves at different temperatures. After that, a list of other herbs.
| Temperature range | Effect & properties | Recommended for... |
|---|---|---|
| 160-175 °C | Light vapour, maximum flavour, gentle effect | Daytime, focus, light relaxation |
| 175-190 °C | Good balance between flavour & effect | All-rounder, more intense effect |
| 190-210 °C | Strong vapour, more powerful effect, less flavour | Evening use, deep relaxation |
| 210-230 °C | Very dense vapour, maximum extraction | Maximum effect, sedation |
