Vapes need a finer, even grind than joints. A sharp four-piece grinder does it.

Tips before you start
- Start around 180 °C (356 °F) for flavor, then step up a few degrees per session.
- Don’t pack the chamber too tight on a convection device: air has to move.
- Save the already-vaped bud. It still has uses.
