- They are easier to keep clean and sterilize than plastic parts. Many of the proprietary cleaning solutions designed for cleaning whips and wands have been known to attack and dissolve the plastic.
- Under normal use, glass parts are far more robust and last for longer, although you should try to source high quality Pyrex or borosilicate glass accessories.
- As you would expect, glass parts can break if dropped, and they are very expensive to replace. Take good care of your glass vaporizer accessories.
- Glass is a far healthier alternative to plastic. Many of the cheap vaporizers used plastic, even in the inhalation chamber, which many people suspect may give off toxins. You should only buy vaporizers online that use glass or metal in area where intense heat may occur.
- Plastic will warp with use, reducing the efficiency of the machine and affecting the amount and quality of the vapor produced.
Of course, these points are general and you can still find glass parts that are extremely low quality or, alternatively, plastic accessories that are extremely well made. Budget is always a major concern, but try to find the vaporizers with high quality glass accessories.
