Benefits of microdosing
Microdosing is a refined approach to consuming herbs that emphasizes control and subtlety over intensity. This practice involves very small quantities of herbs—sometimes as little as 0.05 grams—to achieve a gentle enhancement of mood, alleviation of pain, or reduction in anxiety without the cognitive or physical impairment of higher doses.
Best practices for microdosing
1. Measure your dose
Accuracy is crucial in microdosing. A microdose can range anywhere from 0.05 grams down to even less, but different tolerances require different amounts for a successful microdose. If you’re not sure, start off small until you find your sweet spot.
2. Load the Oven
The amount you load depends on your vaporizer's oven size. For smaller ovens, a thin, even layer that covers the bottom is enough. For larger ovens, pack the oven full to the brim and give it a soft tamp. This will ensure a full, even cook that you can take your time with and come back to later when you're ready for more.
3. Set an appropriate temperature
Begin with a low to moderate temperature setting—around 380°F (193°C) is a good place to start. If you don’t have precise temperature control, set your vape to the low or medium/middle setting.
4. Take a sip
When it’s ready to hit, take a short, soft sip of about two seconds and exhale. If you don’t see any visible vapor, give it another draw or two, or until you see a small exhale.
5. See how you feel
After your hit or two, wait a few minutes to assess how you feel. Microdosing effects can be subtle. It can range anywhere from barely noticeable to a mild enhancement of mood or relief from discomfort. If you’re not satisfied, go in for more!
Best vaporizers for microdosing FAQs
Q: How do I start microdosing with dry herbs?
A: Begin with some high-quality herbs that suit your needs, whether it's for mood enhancement, pain relief, or anxiety reduction. Measure your dose carefully. We suggest a small amount of around 0.05 grams for beginners and light users. Start with a low temperature and take a gentle draw to see how you feel and adjust as necessary.
Q: How do I select the right material and dosage?
A: The best material for microdosing depends on your personal goals. Look for herbs with terpenes that match your desired effects, like limonene for mood-boosting or eucalyptol for pain relief. For dosage, begin with the smallest effective amount— around 0.05 grams for beginners and light users—and adjust based on your experience and tolerance.

Q: How can I maintain my vaporizer for precise dosing?
A: Deep clean your vaporizer on a consistent basis for the best results. Generally, this involves disassembling the removable parts of your vaporizer and cleaning them with a cleaning agent. Ensure the oven chamber is clean and free of residue to ensure an accurate dose every time.

Q: What should I do if I'm not achieving the desired effects?
A: Everyone’s tolerance is different. If this is your first time, and you’re not reaching your desired effects, slowly bump up the dose and gauge how you feel. You can do this with either a larger dose or an additional hit or two from your session. Take your time and assess how you feel before jumping to higher doses.
