Frolic Vape Testing: On Demand vs Session Mode – Which is Better?

The Frolic is one of the most powerful portable dry herb vaporizers of 2026.

In this test I demonstrate the Frolic using On Demand and Session Mode.

Watch the full demonstration, in order, with minimal cuts.

How I Tested

I started with a freshly cleaned and charged Frolic, and I recharged the battery between each test.

I used a precision scale to measure the weight of each bowl. I calibrated the scale each time. I chose the lightest weed scoop I have to minimize the percentage of error while taring the scoop.

Each hit was ~10 seconds. I used an on-screen stopwatch and a consistent inhale speed. I used the video to measure and confirm each hit length.

Session vs On Demand

The Frolic performed extremely well in both modes, but Session Mode demonstrated slightly further extraction - in both speed and weight loss. On Demand mode favored early hit flavor and intensity.

I lean towards On Demand mode because it caters to this vaporizer's usage style. I hit it hard, it hits me hard, and then I set it down for a few minutes while I recover.

I use session mode when I'm vaping while doing something else. I use On Demand mode when I want a quick, intense high.

Observations on Temperature

Vape temperature played very little role in the results here! I definitely noticed different effects later in the sesh, but I'm not sure if it was the result of higher vape temperatures or simply sedation from a longer session. This test took several hours to complete.

Overall though, higher temps early in the process give more intense hits and quicker extraction, but lower temperatures still extract quickly and thoroughly. More testing could be done in this zone.

More about the Frolic

I made this video and test to help the community understand how this vaporizer performs.

See my Frolic Review to learn more about why this vape is one of my highest recommended vaporizers.

I've also compared the Frolic vs Tinymight and built out a full Best Portable Vapes of 2026 that compares the Frolic to the rest of the vaporizers.

What's Next?

I'm interested in exploring more about the Frolic's extraction power.

I'd like to test different grind consistencies in the Frolic - Fine vs Coarse.

I'm also going to zoom in on the first hit extraction power like I did in my Universal Baller Efficiency Test. That test changed the way I vape, maybe there's more to learn about the Frolic.

Let me know in the comments!

Troy

I've been medicating with vaporizers, legally, since 2012. I started reviewing dry herb vaporizers and other cannabis products in 2015.

I fell in love with creating content around vapes and cannabis vaporization. I'm passionate about the topic and the community. I love bringing people together and I love helping them understand the ins and outs of vaping weed.

    Good write up!

    I’d be interested in a similar test using a glass piece and the DTO adapter.

    What works better there, session or demand?

    I prefer demand, a friends prefers session.
