The Linx Hypnos Zero is the flagship vaporizer of Linx Vapor, a company known for producing quality, healthy vaporizers. It’s a sleek, portable, futuristic looking concentrate vaporizer but does it do the job? Lets dive in!

Design

The Linx Hypnos Zero is a self loading concentrate vaporizer constructed from medical grade stainless steel. It boasts a Borosilicate glass mouthpiece, adding to the flavor by removing plastics or metals from the equation. One of the high points of the Linx Hypnos Zero is the sheer portability and discretion it affords with its tiny size. Measuring in at just 107mm tall, the Linx Hypnos Zero is easy to conceal, literally fitting in the palm of your hand. The device its self feels like a quality unit, it doesn’t feel plastic or chintzy in any way. The durability of the Linx Hypnos Zero is apparent, it’s a well built vaporizer with incredible attention to detail. The machining on the threads is tight and buttery smooth, the Zero feels more like a medical device than it does a run of the mill vaporizer.

One downside of the Linx Hypnos Zero is the mouthpiece. Now don’t get me wrong, I love the use of Borosilicate glass over plastic or metal, but it needs a mouthpiece cap. I am worried that if I accidentally drop this unit, the mouthpiece will shatter. I am thinking the people over at Linx felt the same way, that’s why they put an extra mouthpiece in the case. That’s good thinking but I would much rather have a magnetic mouthpiece cap. All things considered, Linx Vapor did very good job with the design of the Zero.

Taste

The taste coming off the Linx Hypnos Zero is spectacular! The Zero uses a ceramic plate atomizer instead of a coiled atomizer. This ceramic plate allows for low temperature vaporization, around 300°-400°F. This means you get a very flavorful hit with light wispy vapor. As I touched on before, the glass mouthpiece adds to the tasting experience in a big way. A plastic or metal mouthpiece tends to add a bit of an unnatural flavor to my Cannabis concentrate. Glass is definitely the way to go, no impurities and easier to clean, yet another reason why the Linx Hypnos Zero is one of the best tasting vaporizers I’ve every tried.

Vapor Production

The vapor produced from the Linx Hypnos Zero is light to medium, not as thick and white as other vape pens but that’s exactly what they’re going for. If you are looking to make some huge clouds, then you may want to skip this pen. The Linx Hypnos Zero was developed with the Terpene Connoisseur in mind.

Vapor Production Score: 15/20

Functionality

The functionality of the Linx Hypnos Zero is nice and simple. 5 clicks to turn the unit off and on. Click 3 times to choose between the four temp settings: Blue=Low, Green=Medium-Low, Yellow=Medium-High, and Red=High. I find that these temperature setting are set just right, the lower levels allow me to savor the flavor. If you really want to taste those amazing terpenes locked inside your Cannabis, this is the way to go. The higher levels provide stronger hits without the burning taste that’s typical of most other vaporizers.  One huge advantage of the Zero is the clean up. Cleaning the Zero is surprisingly simple. Since the components are constructed from medical grade stainless steel and use no paints, you can simply pop them into some iso alcohol and let them soak for an hour or so. After soaking simply wipe away excess with a cotton swab. That’s really all there is too it. No need for bells an whistles, the Zero does on thing and does it well.

Functionality Score: 18/20

Health Consciousness

For health consciousness, the Linx Hypnos Zero performs like a champ! I was blown away by the attention to detail put into this device to ensure it was the healthiest on the market. From the glass mouthpiece, to the all ceramic atomizer, to the toxin free vapor path and finally the medical grade stainless steel shell, the Linx Hypnos Zero ranks very high on the list of healthy vaporizers.

Health Consciousness Score: 20/20

Overall Score: 90

The Linx Hypnos Zero is a wonderful little vaporizer for the Terpene Connoisseur. Don’t expect big clouds with this one because it’s a flavor monster! The heat settings are calibrated for optimal flavor and the ceramic plate atomizer heats the concentrate consonantly. The Zero claims to be one of the healthiest vaporizers available and I believe it. The medical grade stainless steel body and glass mouthpiece make this an excellent unit and the price tag is not too shabby either. Coming in at just $79.99 its one of the least expensive vaporizers in its class. Thanks for reading and be on the look out for more vape reviews.

Making the jump to getting a vaporizer can be difficult and full of unfamiliarity, doubts and of course, upfront cost. Whether it’s to help you quit cigarettes or if you’re looking for another way to consume weed, vaporizers definitely have an edge over smoking.

Here are 5 health benefits of vaporizers, and why you should choose them over smoking:

5. Less Chemicals

Smoking exposes you to many toxic chemicals – cigarette smoke has over 4,000 chemicals, whereas ejuice only has nicotine,  flavoring, propylene glycol, and glycerin (none of which were shown to be toxic).

Vaporizers don’t expose you to the same carcinogenic compounds (caused by burning matter) that smoking does, which also holds true when vaporizing marijuana.

4. Easier on Your Lungs

A 2010 study done on a group of marijuana smokers showed that they made significant improvements on their respiratory health when they switched over to vaping. The results suggest that vaporizers can be a less harmful technique for marijuana consumption.

3. No Secondhand Smoke

Smoking can be dangerous to you and those around you. Secondhand smoke can raise the risk of others getting lung cancers by up to 30%. The secondhand smoke is also terrible for kids, and can cause respiratory infections and asthma. Would you really want to be responsible for something like that?

2. Hearing loss??

I was surprised to hear this one, but apparently smoking can damage your hearing. A study done on 3,000 participants found that smokers are 70% more susceptible to hearing damage. Doctors speculate that this can happen when the cochlea is depleted of oxygen, which is caused by high nicotine and carbon monoxide levels.

1. Less Puffs, Better High

When vaping marijuana, vaping allows your body to absorb cannabinoids faster, which means less puffs and a break for your lungs. Vaping will get you just as high as a joint would and uses less weed (which means you’d save money!)

Vape tricks make for some really great videos. They do take a lot of talent and practice, but most of the techniques aren’t that hard to understand. Check out these tutorials and see if you can recreate these tricks in 5 minutes or less!

5. Smoke Rings / O’s

Smoke “O’s” are usually the first trick people try to learn. It works naturally in most environments since you don’t need any special props like a table (like tornado tricks).

This is a good first trick to learn because it teaches control of airflow and also helps activate certain muscles in a way that normally aren’t used this way. If you can develop strong airflow control, you can pretty much master any other trick on this list!

The secret: To blow O’s, you’ll need to form your mouth into an O shape, exhale consistently and lightly ‘cough’ out your O’s.

4. Ghosting aka Mushroom Cloud

This trick lets the smoke leak out of your mouth in a round-ish cloud formation for a brief second before it gets sucked back in. With good control over airflow, you can slowly let the smoke leak out of your throat. See the video above too see how Jake practices this move.

The secret: Don’t push the vapor out too much or too fast –  let it slowly fall out of your mouth in a sphere and inhale back with your mouth.

3. Jellyfish

The secret:  You’ll need to know how to blow O’s and ghost for this one. Blow an O and slowly push it with your hand, then ghost a spherical cloud into the O.

2. Tornado

Personally this is one of my favorite tricks to do because it looks so cool and it’s not that difficult to recreate. There are a few things to look out for when performing this trick, mainly ambient air flow. You want to be away from the ventilation of the room and you also want to make sure that if you have spectators, that they aren’t moving around too quickly.

The slight rush of air can totally ruin this one, so it’s good to practice in a large space where there isn’t any wind blowing!

The secret:  Exhale your clouds slowly onto a tabletop.  Sweep your hand across the table as if you were wiping it, then quickly flip your hand over and ‘lift’ up the vapor.

1. French Inhale /Bane Inhale

The secret:  Push the vapor out with your tongue and throat. You’ll have to push it through your teeth to make the vapor strands, then tilt your head back so that vapor strands go up into your nose.
