Can you vape catnip? The short answer is yes — and it might surprise you with its relaxing effects. Catnip has been used in Asian and European traditional medicine for centuries, and vaping it at the right temperature produces mild relaxation, light euphoria, and even a subtle mood boost. In this guide, we cover 4 things you need to know before you vape catnip in a dry herb vaporizer.
Can You Vape Catnip Safely?
Yes, you can vape catnip safely in any dry herb vaporizer. Catnip (Nepeta cataria) is a member of the mint family and has a long history of human use as an herbal tea and natural remedy. When vaporized instead of smoked, you avoid combustion byproducts while still releasing the active compounds — primarily nepetalactone — that produce its calming effects.
That said, the effects of vaping catnip are much milder than cannabis. It will not get you high in the traditional sense. Think of it as a gentle herbal relaxant rather than a psychoactive substance.
Best Temperature to Vape Catnip
The ideal vape temperature for catnip is 150°C (302°F). This is lower than most cannabis vaping temperatures, which typically range from 180-210°C. At 302°F, the active compounds in catnip vaporize without burning the plant material.
Any dry herb vaporizer with precise temperature control works well. In the video, we used the Storz & Bickel Mighty+ because of its wide temperature range and consistent heating. If your vaporizer only has preset temperatures, choose the lowest setting available.
