Can you use wicks in a dry herb vaporizer?
Dry herb vaporizers don’t use wicks, since there is no liquid to absorb. But the coil (also known as the heating element) can degrade over time. Most manufacturers sell complete heating chambers for replacement. You can replace your heating chamber whenever you notice that the vapor quality and production is declining. But since dry herbs don’t come into direct contact with the heating element, the chamber is most likely going to last much longer than an e-juice coil. Vaping the reefer is definitely a little bit easier (at least maintenance-wise) when compared to the effort you have to go through when vaping e-liquid with a tank or RDA.

For me, the risk of something going wrong -- even with the best of plans and intentions -- isn't worth it. If I want a coil that's cleaner than just a dry burn, I just build a new coil. Wire is cheap. Hospital bills are not.
