Vaporizer
Any device which instead of combusting cannabis oils, vaporizes the oils.
Vegetative stage
The cannabis plant’s growth phase before flowers set. Outdoor growers are dependant on long days (over 12 hours of sunlight) for the vegetative growth phase. This is due to the plant’s photoperiod.

However, most growers use 2-5 weeks of vegetative growth before switching to flower.
