Dry Herb + Dabs

There are 5 different types of weed vapes.  The basic dab pen or vape pen from the dispensary is great with the right vape battery, but nothing compares to a true flower or concentrate vaporizer.  I really dedicate my time and energy to Dry Herb Vaporizers and Heavy Hitting Desktop Vapes.

The Ball Vape Revolution is upon us and new heavy-hitting vaporizers have changed the way we smoke! These desktop vaporizers have an open airflow and produce thick smoke-like vapor. These hard-hitting vapes hit as hard or harder than dabbing!

Most are looking for portable vaporizers because cannabis is illegal and they need something that can be hidden away.

I’ve put together a guide to the best portable vaporizers as well as summarized my favorites and the most popular options below.

Pax vaporizers are trendy and popular. The Pax 2 and Pax 3 have sold tens of thousands of vapes since their launch in 2012.

These simple conduction vapes are super small and compact, fitting in the palm of your hand.

The Pax 2 and 3 are great for beginners or casual cannabis users, but daily smokers find themselves upgrading fast.

See my Pax Buying Guide if you’re interested in a Pax vaporizer or check out my list of Pax Alternatives.

The Pax 2 is on my best budget vape list, but neither the Pax 2 or 3 are in my top 10 best portable vapes.

The Puffco Peak has nearly become synonymous with e-rigs and portable dab devices. While there are several similar devices worth comparing, the Peak and Peak Pro reign supreme in the e-rig category.

In 2022 Puffco released a modular atomizer and dry pipe – the Puffco Proxy.

Micro dab rigs similar to the Puffco Peak: Focus Carta, Core 2, iSpire Daab. There are a few more weak imitators that I’m not going to mention here.

There are a lot of fakes and frauds on the internet these days. I’ve put together a trusted list of the best online vape stores HERE.

Dabs & Dabbing /E-nails & E-rigs

E-nails are great for dabbing at home without the hassle of torches and fragile quartz bangers.

Cheap e-nails are pretty common and even found on Amazon, but there are worthy reasons to spend more for a quality setup.

I’m still working on a full buying guide. Testing e-nails requires a lot of concentrates and concentration.

My favorite E-nails are the MiniNail and the T-Bucket, and the T-bucket production is currently on pause.

MiniNail makes a few different nails. I really like the Hybrid Deep Dish with SiC. They recently launched an XL version with a massive 30mm wide dish.

If Torch Dabs are more your thing, you are in good company. Terp Slurpers are my favorite way to dab and I dab all day, everyday.

Magic Butter Machine

Whether you call it “weed butter” or “magic butter” – canna butter has never been easier.  My wife prefers edibles over smoking or vaping cannabis, and as a grower, I have a lot of trim to use for making infused food at home.

I’m a big fan of both the Magical Butter Machine and the Ardent FX. The Ardent gets used a bit more because it decarbs and infuses while the Magic Butter Machine only infuses.

ABV Guide

– Already Been Vaped, the dumbest acronym around. Also known as AVB, Already Vaped Bud, equally silly. This is what your weed turns into after it’s been vaped. ABV still has THC and cannabinoids in it and you can get high by eating it or extracting that THC.
