Hash (or hashish) is the oldest cannabis concentrate out there, with a history stretching back a thousand years. Traditionally, to consume hash, you would smoke it, or ingest it. But what about vaping hash?

Like most concentrates, you can totally vaporize hash. In fact, it's better than smoking hash. You'll get more effects from the same amount of hash, without the negative health effects of smoke.

There are a few things to keep in mind if you're going to vape hash. Not all vaporizers are able to vape concentrates, so you need to make sure you have the right kind of vape first.

Is there a vaporizer for hash?

You need to vape hash at higher temperatures than vaporizing cannabis flower. There are concentrate vapes designed for vaping hash and other extracts, but most can’t vape dry herb. And most dry herb vaporizers can hit a high enough temperature, but aren’t made for use with concentrates.

The main problem with vaping hash in a dry herb vape is cleaning the vaporizer afterwards. Hash turns into a sticky liquid substance when vaporized, and it's tough to get a dry herb chamber clean.

You also don’t want any liquids coming into contact with delicate vape parts, which can happen if the melted hash spills out of the chamber.

In this article, we'll help you figure out your best options with your vape, and tell you everything you need to know about vaping hash. We'll also look at the best concentrate vapes for hash.

How to Vaporize Hash

Hashish is a lot denser than regular cannabis flower. It's also stronger in terms of cannabinoids like THC, usually around 40-60% THC. The look and feel of hash depends on how it was produced, and how much plant material is still left in it.

Usually hash is a solid block, but it can also be soft or brittle to the touch. Hash is usually brown (light or dark brown), but it can sometimes be other colors.

How to vaporize hash correctly will depend on what kind of vape you have. If you have a device designed for concentrates, you can just break off a piece of hash and put it directly into the chamber.

 

What temp should I vape hash?

Use a temperature of 200ºC (390ºC) or slightly higher, otherwise you won’t get the full effects of the hash. After a couple of sessions, you'll discover which settings work best with your particular vaporizer.

Break the hash up as much as you can to create more surface area to make it easier to heat it all and get the strongest effects. Spread the hash evenly throughout the bowl, and don’t overfill the chamber.

Can I put hash in a dry herb vaporizer?

If you’ve got a dry herb vape, you need to think twice before vaping hash in it. After vaping hash, it becomes a liquid, and can gum up important parts in your vaporizer. So be careful when vaping hash in a vaporizer that isn't made for it.

With most dry herb vapes, you can sandwich the hash in the middle of a bowl ground cannabis flower. This will keep mess to a minimum while still letting you vape hash. It’s mixed with weed and isn't a pure hash hit, but you'll still enjoy a nice vapor combination.

That said, the sandwich method isn't great for getting maximum effects out of both your herb and your hash. Airflow will be blocked, and not all parts of your herb and hash will be properly heated. So you end up wasting some of your supply.

What is the Best Vape for Hash?

Some dry herb vaporizers have accessories available that allow them to vaporize hash and other concentrates. These usually take the form of a liquid pad that you insert inside the herb chamber. Then you can safely vape hashish without the risk of gumming up your device.

In theory, this lets you enjoy the best of both worlds. You get to enjoy dry herb sessions on the regular, and switch to consuming hash or other cannabis concentrates whenever you want.

In practice, the inserts aren't ideal. You have to be careful handling them because they get hot. Loading and cleaning them is a challenge, especially if you're on the go. Concentrate inserts are handy in a pinch, but if you use them regularly, it’s just frustrating.

Also, most dry herb vapes don't come with inserts or liquid pads included. They're usually only available as a separate accessory, or as part of deluxe kit options.

Vaping hash and dry herb together

The Furna vape has a new solution: multiple ovens. Furna has specialized ovens for both dry herb and concentrates, and you can switch instantly between the two.

You can pre-pack ovens in advance, and easily keep track of which is which using the multicolored mouthpieces. The vaporizer also displays a custom symbol when you load in each oven.

In addition to dry herb and concentrate, Furna also has 510 oil ovens that let you screw in a 510 oil cartridge. So you get all the options in a single vaporizer, and can take portable vaping to the next level. Check out the Furna vape and see what you think for yourself.
