In the spirit of Lil Jon, today at Sutra Vape we are getting low… temperature! With so much attention given to the hottest of vaping, we wanted to flip the script and give some special attention to the opposite end of the spectrum - low temperature vaping.
That’s why today at Sutra Vape we’re yelling from the windows to the walls, spreading the good word on what low temperature vaping can offer your sessions. Keep reading below to see all the ways that letting off the gas and chilling out can benefit your clouds.
What Are The Benefits Of Low Temperatures?
No matter if you are enjoying some dry herbs, concentrates, or cartridges - the basic principles regarding low temperature vapor are going to be the exact same.
When you use these lower settings you can expect to receive smoother clouds, more flavor, use less materials, save your battery, and even help out friends who are new to vaping. Keep reading below for a breakdown on each of these points, clueing you into all the benefits that exist with these lower spectrum clouds.

Smoother Clouds
Kicking off the wide world of low temperatures, we have the fact that when you stick to the lowest voltage settings, you are going to get far smoother clouds.
Thanks to less heat being applied to your oils, the resulting vapor is cooler and less harsh - giving you puffs that go down easily with barely any coughing. This will allow you to puff more vapor, all without the fear of accidentally over doing it.
For a casual hit on the go, you really can’t do any better and will notice you can rip your oils and immediately get going. This is great for times when you’d like to keep a low profile and don’t want to catch a case of the coughs before doing something important.
This can be absolutely perfect for those first hits of the day, when you are still waking up with a cup of coffee and need a little cloud boost to get the gears in motion. This is where the lower temperatures step in to give you the smooth, AM friendly rip that won’t have the whole house up when you start coughing.
More Flavorful Vapor
Not only will you notice your clouds smoother, but you will also notice a vast improvement in the amount of flavor within your vapor. With less heat being applied to your materials, the natural tastes within them are better preserved than at high temperatures - giving you access to the full spectrum of goodness within.
Lower temperatures ensure your materials are evenly heated, without any parts getting over done that can lead to flavors being tainted. This slow and steady approach gives you complete control to experience your materials in their most pure forms.
At Sutra, whenever we’ve got some new dry herbs or a fresh cartridge, we always crank things down to the lowest possible voltages to get an initial read on quality. These settings allow us to experience the truest possible flavors, to get the best possible impression on our new pick ups.
This way whether you’ve got something new or just want to really savor some flavors, you know that the low temperature settings are there to provide.

Conserve Your Materials
All the while you are getting these boosted flavors, you will simultaneously be using less of your materials within each puff. As less heat is applied to your cartridges, dry herbs, and concentrates - the materials within them are consumed at far lower rates.
Should you be trying to stretch how far your materials last, cranking down the heat setting is an incredibly potent method to keep you puffing longer. With the smoother and more flavorful vapor, you can really savor the experience to slow down how many puffs you're taking.
All of this ultimately will give you more bang for your buck, saving you money down the line and helping you get the maximum amount of value from your investments.
Save Your Battery
It’s not just cartridges that will be getting preserved, when you stick with low temperatures you are increasing the amount of battery life you get. As you aren’t using as much power per cloud, your battery won’t be getting drained as quickly.
If you're out for a big day, this can be a handy method to stretch the amount of puffs you're able to enjoy without having to stop for a charge. Effectively extending the life span of your battery and allowing you to keep the clouds rolling without any interruptions.
Should you notice that your battery is lower, then you can always crank down the temperatures to stretch how much session time you have left. This is a handy way to keep your clouds rolling and ensure you're never stuck in need of a puff when out.
Helps First Time Vaping
Finally, low temperatures are the perfect introductory level for your friends and allow you to lower the barriers of entry regarding your sessions.
We all know what it's like to take a red hot puff and get completely laid out for a moment just processing it, but when it’s your first time seshing this can completely turn you off to vaping entirely.
To avoid all of this, when you're with a friend who’d like to dabble just crank down the settings all the way and give them the smoother vapor, boosted flavors, and easier overall experience that they will actually be able to enjoy.
This way you are giving them clouds at their level, boosting their enjoyment and guaranteeing that things aren’t overwhelming to the point of souring the whole experience. It’s always better to be safe than sorry, especially when it comes to vaping with friends new to clouds.
Get Low
Now that we’ve given you the low down on low temperature vaping, it’s time for you to crank things down a few notches and experience all the joys of cooler clouds!
From the increased smoothness, to the boosted flavors - there is so much for you to enjoy about low voltage clouds in your sessions going forward.
