Vaporizers

Vaporizers are personal devices that heat materials at temperatures just below the point of the combustion, extracting the flavors, aromas, and effects of herbs and waxes with much less smoke. The result is vapor, which is purer tasting and easier to hit than smoke. The best vapor production comes from larger units--called desktop vaporizers--which are more powerful than portable vaporizers thanks to their plug-in power source. That said, portable vaporizers are growing more advanced, with convection heating systems that heat dry herb with hot air rather than hot surfaces, delivering combustion-free vapor.

Portable vaporizers are more discreet than ever, boasting precise temperature control, enhanced battery life and the latest in advanced heating technology. Vaping on-the-go has never been easier, or more convenient. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the unparalleled power and functionality of desktop vaporizers also continue to improve with dual-functionality and more powerful heating systems.

Is Using A Vaporizer A Better Alternative? 

Many find vaping to be a better alternative to smoking for a number of reasons--convenience, discretion, and vapor quality to name a few. You can enjoy dry herb, concentrates, or oils with more stealthiness, and in a faster, hassle-free manner.

These devices give you much more control over factors such as density, flavor, aroma, airflow, and more. Featuring precision temperature control that allows you to zero in on an exact temp that's ideal for your dry herb strain, these convenient devices give you unprecedented control over how you consume herb and other materials. Whether you enjoy small, flavorful hits, moderate tokes, or long, mild draws, vaporizers give you complete command over your sessions.

The discreet nature of these devices also sets them apart from smoking methods. Whereas smoke hangs in the air, staining white curtains and blowing your cover, these clouds dissipate in seconds and do not leave lingering odors. You can enjoy dry herb in public without drawing attention to your session or upsetting people as cigarettes do. Portable units are pocket-friendly and therefore stealthy, making them a better companion for vaping on-the-go.

Which Vaporizer is Right for You?

Vaporizers come in a few different types, each designed for a specific lifestyle. Whether you're a homebody, commuter, dry herb enthusiast, or occasional user, there are thousands of units to choose from that match your preferences. There are three main types: portable, pen, and desktop. These types break down into subcategories based on the material they are compatible with, whether it be dry herb, concentrates, liquid, or all three.

Portable Vaporizer

Portable vapes are handheld, battery-powered units that enable on-the-go consumption of dry herb, wax, or eliquid. Usually compact, portable devices won't burden your pocket, and will generally hide in your hand during use. But despite the stealthy size of these units, they often feature powerful heating systems that deliver clean, smooth, and flavorful vapor. You get excellent draws and discretion with a portable unit.

Most dry herb vaporizers will be in the "portable" section of our site. In order to adequately vaporize dry herb, a device needs more space than a vape pen provides. The larger chambers of dry herb vaporizers allows for an efficient vaporization process and allows for longer sessions than a vape pen. If you're looking specifically for a dry herb vaporizer, check out our blog of the Best Portable Dry Herb Vaporizers. Portable dry herb vapes are fantastic for those who enjoy camping trips or festivals, as they're large enough to accommodate enough material for a full day of vaping in a group, and they have a little more durability than vape pens. 

Portable vaporizers are generally pocket-friendly. You can carry them around wherever you go, take a hit with the unit concealed in your hand, then pocket it and go about your day. Like vape pens, portable units are usually charged via USB, ensuring that you can power up from anywhere with a USB outlet or AC outlet (using a wall adapter).

A portable dry herb vape is an efficient way to enjoy dry herb and allows for the full exploration of your material. As modern vaporizers got more technologically advanced herbal vapes became able to vaporize concentrates as well thanks to inserts and modified heating systems.  

Today the portable vaporizer is one of the most popular devices in the industry, accommodating the commuter lifestyle, producing great tasting hits, and providing the most convenient experience possible.

Vaporizer Pen

This type is one of the most discreet vaporizers in the world. Slim, pen-shaped, and lightweight, these units allow you to take stealthy sips from just about anywhere. Generally speaking, this device is designed for waxy oil or liquid concentrates, though some herb pens exist. Usually ranging from $10 to $200, these units are designed for on-the-fly use, making them the ideal choice for commuters.

This device is geared for quick, easy, and stealthy hits. Most pens are about five inches long and very thin. Some units are as thin as a #2 pencil. This means you can easily hide the device in your hand during use. Likewise, the unit will not burden your pocket.

A major advantage of using a vaporizer pen is ease-of-use. Rather than toggle temperatures to the degree, most of these units feature preset temperatures so you simply click the control button to change temperature. Once your temperature is chosen, the average pen takes only a few seconds to heat up. Simple controls and rapid heating ensures you can take quick hits on-the-go when you have an opportunity, making this vape a very discreet choice.

Desktop Vaporizer

Portable units are exceptional for on-the-go use, but their small size leaves less room for advanced heating systems, and their wireless power sources limit the degree to which they can efficiently vaporize materials. Desktop vaporizers, on the other hand, are plugged into wall outlets, giving them much more power than smaller devices. Desktop units are also larger, leaving more room for the heating system. These devices deliver the smoothest, cleanest, best-tasting hits possible.

This vaporizer type features three ways to inhale: Whip-style, balloon-bag, or steamrolling. Whip-style units deliver hits through a rubber tube. Balloon-bags are high-grade plastic bags that fill up with clouds, making them easy to share. And steamrolling involves taking hits through a water bubbler attachment that moisturizes and further purifies vapor. Some desktop units are limited to one inhalation method, while others feature multiple ways to take a hit.

Desktop vaporizers often feature a forced-air system, which pushes vapor through the air path to help the user take a hit. These units feature high powered fans, which in some models can be shut off to create more draw resistance, or modulated to adjust the speed of the fan. It's ideal for those who want the purest draws possible, whether you're a medicinal or recreational user.
