Best Portable Dry Herb Vaporizers Overall
I have every portable dry herb vape available to me. These are the four portable dry herb vapes that I use the most. Overall, these vapes have the best vapor and user experience. These are the four best portable dry herb vaporizers currently available. These four vapes are rated higher than all of the other vapes I’ve tested. They’re high-quality vapes with great warranties and great reputations.
If I leave the house and carry a vaporizer, it will be the Tinymight 2 or the Venty.
I carry the Venty when I want to casually vape a bowl, or multiple bowls, on the go. I’ll take ground weed in a plastic doob tube to load fresh bowls as needed. It’s perfect for a day of errands. I can vape bowls casually, basically anywhere. The Venty unloads quickly, easily, anywhere, and quickly loads a fresh bowl. The Venty heats up fast, and the session lasts 3-10 minutes, depending on vape temps and inhalation intensity. I’ll carry the Venty with enough weed for 6-8 bowls, and it will get me through the whole day. I love the Venty because it has massive airflow, and I can use it while doing other things. It’s a simple vape with a luxurious, fluffy vapor.
The Venty was the #1 Best Portable Vaporizer of 2024.
I carry the Tinymight 2 when I have less time to vape, and the priority is getting high quickly or even stealthily. The Tinymight 2 can be used as a session or on-demand vape. It shines in On-Demand Mode with a ~10-second heat-up. I can turn on the Tinymight 2 in my pocket and activate it when I’m ready to vape. The Tinymight 2 is one of the most potent portable vaporizers available, and it gets me high very quickly. The TM2 can fully vape a bowl in 2 hits at higher temperature settings.
I carry the Tafee Bowle in the car with its grinder and pots. If you can get past the cup and manage to carry the Bowle, it’s the best vaporizer on this whole page.

Venty | 9.6 | Best Vapor/Flavor Best Pocket Carry Best Battery Life Best Overall | Session | ||
Tinymight 2 | 9.5 | Hardest Hitting Best Vapor/Flavor Best On-Demand Replaceable Batt. Best Pocket Carry Best for Bongs Best Stealth Vapes Best Overall | On-Demand / Session | ||

When I vape at home with a portable vape, it will be with the Solo 3, the Tafee Bowl 2, or the Venty. The Solo 3 and Bowle 2 are portable but not pocket-friendly enough to leave the house.
I use the Solo 3 at home when I’m looking for a full stoney effect. I’m usually on the couch when this vape comes out. It’s perfect for quick, powerful, on-demand usage where I can get high quickly. The Solo 3 also works in session mode and can be easily shared with others. It’s a versatile vape, but I like it in on-demand mode, where it fully vapes the bowl in just a few hits.
The Solo 3 tied the Venty last year for the #1 position on the Best Portable Vaporizers of 2024. It remains tied for the #1 position this year.
I use the Tafee Bowle 2 at home to escape my desk. The Bowle 2 with the Potter+ makes the perfect around-the-house vape. The Potter+ grinds nugs directly into the Bowle’s ceramic Pots and stores them until you’re ready to vape. I LOVE how the grinder is a loading mechanism and storage vessel. I don’t use the cup part of the Bowle at all. I carry the Tafee Bowle 2 around cupless, with the metal Potter stacked on the vape. The series 2 Bowle can fully vaporize its load in one or two big hits. This potent vape has enough battery power to vape 25 bowls per charge!
It’s expensive at $450, but it’s the most advanced dry herb vaporizer on the market. It heats up nearly instantly and has a massive battery life. The Tafee Bowle 2 also puts out the nicest vapor of any device on this page!
Choosing is a matter of how and where you like to vape your weed. They’re the four kings of portable dry herb vapor.
Best Hard-Hitting Portable Vapes
Nobody likes weak vapor. Weak vapor is scratchy and induces coughing. Potent vapor feels more satisfying and it’s more effective, too. Most people are looking for a powerful vape that will impress their friends and leave everyone stoned. These heavy-hitting portable vapes extract quickly and produce thick, potent vapor with massive flavor. These vapes can finish their bowl in as little as two hits. The days of sucking on a vape for 10 minutes are over.
Heavy smokers looking to supplement their smoke or convert to vaping will be happy with the vapor from these vapes. These are punchy vapes that hit back.

🔥 A few of the hardest-hitting portables are torch-powered. The Stunner and Tempest are pocket-sized ball vapes and can deliver extremely potent one-hit extractions. They don’t quite compare to the full-sized desktop ball vape experience, but they can be portable!
The Tinymight 2 is the most potent battery-powered portable on the list. It doesn’t hit quite as hard as the torch-powered portable ball vapes, but it’s easier to use and 100% portable. The Tinymight 2 packs a terpene-rich vapor punch that stings my tongue and brings tears to my eyes. The Tinymight is at the top of several best vape lists. It’s a beefcake of a vape and one of the best dry herb vaporizers you can get.
Tafee Bowle 2 and the Arizer Solo 3 are heavy-hitting vapes with fast extraction. However, they’re not as pocket-friendly and portable as the Tinymight 2. Choose the Tinymight 2 or PotV Lobo if you need a pocket-friendly portable. The Lobo is the softest of these six but still surprisingly punchy.
The Solo 3 offers the most effortless maintenance and some of the tastiest and most genuine vapor flavors. It’s a significant upgrade over any previous Arizer vaporizer. It uses more conduction and radiant heat than the Tafee Bowle, Tinymight, and Angus Enhanced, giving it a stonier effect. The Solo 3 is also better for Hash and TWAXing than the other 6.
Tafee Bowle 2 gets the most use around the house. Its vapor performance is incredible, even with micro-sized doses. The Potter and crucible system makes the Tafee Bowle 2 portable but not very pocket-friendly.
Davinci IQ 3 isn’t quite like the other heavy-hitting portable vapes. The IQ3 is a conduction heater with a big bowl. Conduction vapes have a stonier high than convection vaporizers. The IQ3’s big bowl (.7g) makes this vape very punchy. Its vapor starts out terpy and bright, and it finishes with a robust roast. Click here to go to my Davinci IQ3 Review.
Angus Enhanced is technically a ball vape, and it cranks out massive vapor, but it doesn’t extract as quickly as other ball vapes. This vape uses a small halogen lightbulb and a few dozen tiny ruby balls to create pure convection power. It uses two removable batteries. It’s pocket-carryable but not designed to be used on the go. The Angus doesn’t hit quite as hard as the others, but it has better flavor than most!
The Stunner is my favorite torch-powered portable vape. It slaps like a desktop ball vape, but these torch-powered vapes require special attention. They’re not nearly as easy to use as the battery-powered vapes, but they hit harder.

Best Bang for Your Buck Portable Vapes (Best Value)
Let’s step out of the new car payment zone and into the used car payment zone. These vapes are still really great without breaking the bank. These aren’t the cheapest dry herb vaporizers, but they’re more affordable than the top-of-the-line vapes without compromising on features or vapor performance. There’s also the cheapest dry herb vaporizer section with vapes as low as $40.

#1. The Solo 3 is the most expensive vape in this section at $276, but it’s also the only vape that made both the best overall and best value list. Arizer Solo 3 is one of the best portable dry herb vaporizers available. It’s a versatile and agile vaporizer with two glass stems and two water pipe adapters. This vape has a massive battery with about 3 hours of run time. It heats up in 15 seconds and is powerful enough to extract a bowl in just a few hits. Solo 3 is much more potent than previous Arizer portable vapes like the Solo 2 and Air.
#2. The PotV Lobo is only $159. This vape offers a lot of performance and features for its price. The Lobo is exceptionally pocket-friendly, and it cranks out some potent vapor! Planet of the Vapes designed this vape to satisfy smokers, and the Lobo can kick! The included cooling glass mouthpiece does a good job of taming the vapor. Planet of the Vapes also offers a great selection of glass mouthpieces and accessories for the Lobo.
#3. The Angus Enhanced is $220 and performs like a $350 vape. This vape uses a halogen lightbulb and a layer of ruby balls as a convection heater. The Angus Enhanced is technically a portable ball vape! Its vapor is thick and wonderful. This vape delivers flavor and potency without any special technique. It’s not quite as portable and requires a bit more work, but the Angus Enhanced will outperform most portable vapes in this section.
#4. Healthy Rips Rogue 2 is $139 and is the perfect pocket vape. It’s basically the same vaporizer as the Lobo, even though it’s not. They’re very similar and made in the same factory, though ;) The Rogue 2 doesn’t have a removable battery but has a much more durable unibody design. Healthy Rips offers affordable glass accessories for the Rogue 2, including micro bubblers and water pipe adapters.
#5. Arizer Argo is only $120, and it has a removable battery and an all-glass vapor path. This little vape is tiny and crazy fun to carry. It’s a session vape that takes about 8-12 minutes to vape a bowl fully. The vapor is delicious, especially during the first few minutes of the sesh. The ArGo is a plastic and metal vape with a glass stem as its mouthpiece and bowl. This vape was well over 200 dollars when it first came out. The $120 price tag makes the ArGo a great deal.
#6. Airvape Legacy Pro is a feature-rich vape that’s only $189. This vape has excellent vapor and an exceptional set of features. It has both on-demand and session modes with a fast 15-second heat-up time. The Legacy Pro has a removable battery, a gold-plated bowl, a glass vapor path, and wireless charging!
Special mention to the Dynavap Vapcap vaporizer lineup here. The Dynavap vaporizers will last forever and they’re fueled by butane instead of batteries. The B and M7 vaporizers by Dynavap offer an exceptional value for their price. (Code VAPEZONE to save 10% at Dynavap)
Best Vapor: Portable Vapes for Flavor Chasers
Flavor is a subjective avenue. I like vapor that is strong and substantial. I want to see massive clouds and taste the terps. I want the vapor to feel satisfying on my exhale, and I want it to burn if I blow it out through my nose. These vapes deliver the best vapor based on potency and flavor.

#1. Tafee Bowle 2 – This vape wins the category of Best Vapor. The vapor from the Bowle 2 is a perfect balance of extraction power and flavor. The Tafee Bowle 2 delivers consistent performance every time. I’ve had it for months, and it still wows me every time I hit it. This vape has a more open draw than most, and the vaporizer adjusts the heater to the user’s draw speed to maintain consistent performance.
#2. Solo 3 – This vape has an all-glass vapor path and bowl for the purest flavors. It uses both conduction and convection to create vapor. This combination of heat produces the fastest extraction and the most flavor. The Arizer Solo 3 can extract quickly in 2 or 3 big hits or be used in session mode. Both modes are incredibly flavorful and enjoyable. The draw restriction on the Solo 3 is my least favorite thing about it.
#3. Tinymight 2 – The Tinymight 2 is one of the most potent and flavorful portable vapes. The vapor is punchy and delicious. This vape produces vapor so terpy that it hurts the tongue and throat – an effect known as “terp tongue”. This effect is often followed by “Terp Tears.” The Tinymight 2 can be used with a variety of stem setups. The default stem has a bit of draw restriction.
#4. Angus Enhanced – This halogen-powered portable ball vape uses pure rubies in its heater. This convection power unleashes a new level of extraction and flavor. The Angus Enhanced has a relatively open draw, similar to the Tafee Bowle 2. Its vapor is more terpy and cloudy with less spine. Once this vape is warmed up, it chucks clouds! The Angus is half the price of the Tinymight and only $60 more than the Lobo. This vape offers an incredible performance and value to price ratio at only $219.
#5. Storz & Bickel Venty – This is still my most used portable vape. The Venty has fantastic vapor that’s fluffy and full. The Venty has the widest airflow. It has less draw restriction than the other portable dry herb vapes. Vapor from the Venty isn’t quite as potent as the first four and even the next 2, but it’s more comfortable than any vape on this page, and it rocks me.
#6. PotV Lobo – The Lobo has good vapor with a balanced blend of power and flavor. The glass vapor path keeps the terpenes fresh and clean, and this vape has quite a bit of power! The Vapor from the Lobo isn’t as fluffy, smooth, or luxurious as the upper-class vapes, but the price is significantly lower, and the vapor isn’t that far off.
#7. Healthy Rips Rogue – The Rogue and Lobo are very similar vapes with very similar vapor. The vapor is full and flavorful. These vapes have higher vape temps than the Venty and will vape the bowl fully in 4 or 5 big hits. The Rogue and the Lobo make it hard to justify the cost of a Venty.
Best On-Demand Portable Vaporizers
On-demand vaporizers heat up quickly and typically only vaporize the loaded herbs while taking a hit. Unlike “session vapes’ that heat up for 3-10 minutes and keep the herb cooking the whole time, these on-demand vaporizers only cook the oven during vaporization.
On-demand vaporizers are typically full convection, but hybrid and full conduction on-demand vaporizers exist. Traditionally, convection is preferred because it separates the heat from the weed to preserve taste and THC in between tokes.
Vape | Vapor Potency | Vapor Comfort | Portability | Heat up time | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Tinymight 2 | 9.8 | 9.3 | 9.5 | ~10 sec | |
Tafee Bowle 2 | 9.7 | 9.8 | 8.3** | < 2 sec from cold | |
Arizer Solo 3 | 9.8 | 9.4 | 8.4 | 10-15 sec | $276 @ Arizer code TROYTIME20 |
Airvape Legacy P | 9.5 | 9.4 | 9.5 | 15 sec | |
PotV V3 Pro | 8.9 | 8.9 | 9.5 | ~12 sec |
#1. Best On-Demand Vape: Tinymight 2 – This vape is an all-around champion, and on-demand vapor is Tinymight’s specialty. This vape heats up in about 10 seconds, and it’s full convection, so it doesn’t heat the herb until you inhale through the device. This vape is perfect for pocket carry and stealth use. Plus, it’s simple and easy to share. It has some of the most potent and most flavorful vapor available. It’s also great on a bong!
#2. Tafee Bowle (series 2) – The Bowle 2 is the quickest vape to heat and use. It heats up in less than 3 seconds and cranks out some of the best vapor possible. It can fully vape its oven in one or two big hits and has a low draw restriction. This is my favorite on-demand vape, but it’s not pocket-friendly.
#3. Solo 3 – Arizer reimagined the dry herb vaping experience with the Solo 3. Its On-Demand mode uses both conduction and convection. This isn’t a pocket-friendly vape, and its on-demand mode isn’t designed to be stealthy. The vape is challenging to turn on and activate, but the vapor performance is incredible. In on-demand mode, the Solo 3 heats up for 2 or 3 very intense and flavorful hits. It’ll fully vape the normal-sized bowl at higher temps in just a couple of big hits. I love this experience and the effects. The Solo 3 is more stoney than the other on-demand vapes because of the added conduction and radiant heat. The Solo 3 will combust if packed incorrectly.
#4. Airvape Legacy Pro – the ALP has great vapor in on-demand or session mode. Its on-demand mode heats up in about 15 seconds and has excellent vapor. It’s pocket-friendly and can be used quickly. This vape loses points for being challenging to maintain, but its flavor and performance are perfect. Airvape packed all the features onto the Legacy Pro.
#5. PotV V3 Pro – This dry herb vape pen style vaporizer is full convection and surprisingly powerful. It heats up in about 12 seconds and can put out some nice vapor. This vape requires some small techniques to maximize its performance, but it’s easy to master. This vape gets 10-12 bowls per charge too! I have to vape three bowls in a row with this one to get high because the bowl is smaller than other vapes.
Best Battery Life Dry Herb Vaporizers
Modern vaporizers have drastically improved efficiency and power management over older vapes. Today’s best battery-powered portables can vape 10 or more bowls per charge. These vapes can keep high-tolerance stoners medicated all day without recharging.
#1. Tafee Bowle – $450. The Bowle is an instant-heating, on-demand vaporizer with delicious vapor and a humongous battery. This vape will power through 25+ bowls on a single charge! It will last several days!
#2. Storz & Bickel Venty – $359. The Venty has massive battery power and the most open airflow out of any portable herb vape. The Venty will vape 12 bowls on a single charge. It will last all night!
#3. Arizer Solo 3 – $276. The Solo 2 has matched the Venty bowl for bowl in side-by-side tests. Arizer claims that it will last 3 hours in session mode! This vape has a massive battery and can last me several days without charging.
#4. PotV Lobo – $159. The Lobo can vape a respectable 8 to 10 bowls per charge. Plus, it has a removable battery, too!
#5. Arizer Solo 2 – $119. The Solo 2 was a top contender years ago because of its big battery and great vapor. The Solo 2 can vape about 10-12 bowls per charge.
#6. PotV Xmax V3 Pro – $109. The Planet of the Vapes version has 40% more battery power than the standard Xmax version. The PotV V3 Pro can vape about 10 bowls on a single charge. This vape also has a removable battery.

Best Pocket-Friendly Portable Vapes
Portable vapes aren’t always pocket-friendly. These dry herb vapes are small enough to carry in a front pocket or a purse.
Vaporizer | Size (H x W x D) | Weight | Vape Rank | Price | Review |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Venty | 6.2″ x 1.8″ x 1.4″ | 252g | 9.6 | ||
TinyMight 2 | 3.5″ x 2.5″ x 1.5″ | 220g | 9.5 | ||
Rogue 2 | 3.6″ x 2.3″ x 1.2″ | 190g | 9.3 | ||
PotV Lobo | 3.5″ x 2.2″ x 1.2″ | 160g | 9.3 | ||
Mighty+ | 5.5″ x 3.2″ x 1.2″ | 242g | 9.4 | ||
PotV V3 Pro | 6.7″ x 1″ x 1″ | 105g | 8.9 |
#1 Storz & Bickel Venty Vaporizer – This is my most used and most carried portable dry herb vape. I carry this vape in my front pocket, and there is still room for a 2nd Venty, car keys, etc. It’s a big vape, but it’s manageable. This vape has enough battery power to last 12 bowls, and it’s incredibly easy to use on the go.
#2 Tinymight 2 – The TM 2 fits perfectly in a pocket. I like to carry the Tinymight with the titanium stem, so I don’t have to worry about glass breaking in my pocket. Plus, this vape looks cool with the metal stem! The Tinymight is small enough to put my hand around it while still inside my pocket. I like to turn it on and activate it before pulling it out, making it stealthy.
#3 Healthy Rips Rogue 2 – The Rogue 2 feels incredible in my pocket. Its smooth, glossy finish slips in and out of my pants pocket easily, and this device is also small enough to operate in my pocket.
#4 PotV Lobo – The Lobo carries almost as nicely as the Rogue. It’s not quite as comfortable because its edges aren’t as rounded, but it’s only noticeable when wearing skinny jeans.
#5 Storz & Bickel Mighty+ – The Mighty has been one of the best portable dry herb vaporizers since 2014. This page used to be primarily Mighty content. It’s still a fantastic vape that carries very well and is still one of the most popular portable vapes on the market today. It has nicer vapor and a nicer vaping experience than many other vapes.
Best Butane Torch Powered Vapes🔥
Dry herb vapes with built-in butane tanks and internal heaters are a thing of the past. Modern butane vapes use a small torch to provide heating power, carrying the torch separately. These battery-free vapes require special attention and ritual but can deliver incredible extraction power and flavor.
Direct inhale butane vapes like the Sticky Brick are no longer recommended due to the risk of inhaling butane or worse.
Vaporizer | Rank | Vapor Potency | Vapor Comfort | Portability | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Stunner🔥 | 9.2 | 9.9 | 9.3 | 7.5 | |
HyperDyn🔥 | 9.1 | 9.7 | 9.2 | 8 | |
Anvil🔥 | 9.1 | 9.8 | 9 | 8 | $229 |
Tempest🔥 | 9.1 | 9.8 | 9.7 | 7.5 | N/A |
Dynavap🔥 | 9 | 9.3 | 9 | 8.5 | |
Convector🔥 | 9 | 9.3 | 9.3 | 8.5 | $75-$99 |
Vapman Click 🔥 | 9 | 9 | 9 | 8.5 |
#1. The Stunner 🔥 – This is my favorite butane-powered portable vape, but it’s not designed for usage on the go. The Stunner is a torch-powered ball vape. It’s vapor is thick, fast, and full of flavor. This vaporizer is unregulated and full-manual. You heat it with a torch, and there is a learning curve. This vape stays hot and is hard to handle for over a minute after use.
#2. Dynavap HyperDyn 🔥 – The HyperDyn is slightly more portable than the Stunner and Tempest because the hot tip and cap are Titanium, and cool down faster than the others. The HyperDyn cools down quickly and can be reloaded or put away after 30 seconds. The HyperDyn has an audible *CLICK* sound to signal when it’s ready to vape. It’s built on the tried and trusted Vapcap foundation but with an XL bowl and a thicker cap.
#3. Vestratto Anvil🔥 – This was the original Heavy Hitting Hot Metal Stick vape. The Anvil uses complicated copper engineering to solve simple problems in beautiful ways. The Anvil smacks hard and has wonderful vapor. This vape clicks when it’s ready to vape. Its vapor is a unique blend of convection and radiant heat. The effects are a bit more stony and sedative.
#4. MadHeaters Tempest🔥 – The Tempest is another ball-filled vape, like the Stunner. The Tempest has a visual heat indicator and an audible *click* to signal a perfectly heated vape. The Tempest with the Madheaters cooling stem is an impressive device with a lot of capability. The cooling stem makes the vapor more comfortable than the Stunner, but the Stunner hits harder and faster.
#5. Dynavap Vapcap🔥 – Dynavap created the blueprint for this generation of butane vapes, aside from the balls. The original flame-powered battery-free vaporizer still wins my heart and my recommendation. The Dynavap Vapcap vaporizers are more portable than the more powerful #1, #2, and #3. The Dynavap is a great budget vape for beginners. It’s easy to learn and fun to master. With the proper technique, the Dynavap can crank out fantastic vapor.
Dynavap has a few different models of the Vapcap vaporizer. Click Here to go to my Dynavap Buying Guide
#6. Camouflet Convector🔥- The Convector is the same size and shape as the Dynavap, or a cigarette if that’s more familiar. This little vape is heated for 5-8 seconds with a small torch. It needs to be re-heated for every hit, unlike the others. This is a micro-dosing vape with good vapor. The stem has a few different ceramic diffuser options to choose from. I like the basic hollow condenser best. The Convector is available in Titanium and Stainless. Both perform similarly.
All six torch-powered vaporizers can also be heated with induction heaters for a flame-free experience.
#7. Inhale Vapman Click 🔥 – The recently released Vapman Click has a bigger bowl than the original vape. This updated Vapman also features a mechanical temperature alert system. The metal disc built into the bottom of the vape will make an audible *click* sound to let you know it’s ready to vape. The Vapman is heated with a small torch for about 15 seconds. Each heat will be enough for a few hits.
Best Cheap Dry Herb Vaporizers ($40-$150)
These are the cheapest portable vapes, but they are still good. I’ve tested over 100 different cheap weed vapes, and most of them were trash. These are the 10 best portable dry herb vapes under $150 (ish).
#1. PotV Lobo – $159 but goes on sale for $139 about 6 times yearly. The Lobo is one of the best portable vaporizers. It’s a champion in multiple Best Of categories on this page. The Lobo is an astounding value for its price. It’s a very easy-to-use dry herb vaporizer with strong, flavorful vapor, a removable battery, and an all-glass vapor path. It’s also available in colors!
#2. Healthy Rips Rogue 2 – $139. The Rogue 2 is basically the Lobo without the removable battery. It’s technically a different heater and a completely different body, but the interface and vapor are practically the same. I love the way the Rogue feels in hand and pocket. It’s heavier than the Lobo and feels more substantial.
#3. Dynavap B 🔥 – $39 – this is the cheapest vape on the page and will last a lifetime. It’s made out of high-temperature food-grade silicone and stainless steel. The Dynavap B is heated with a small pocket torch or an induction heater. The cap clicks when it’s ready to vape, and the B is designed for single-heat-up extractions – which means you heat it once and then vape the whole bowl. The full Stainless Steel Dynavap M7 is $75
#4. Arizer Solo 2 – $135. A few years ago, the Arizer Solo 2 was tied with the Mighty+ as the #1 best portable vape. Now, it’s still making friends as one of the best budget vapes. The Solo 2 is a superb value. It vapes 10+ bowls per charge and has excellent vapor with an all-glass vapor path. The Solo 2 also comes with multiple glass stems and a glass water pipe adapter.
#5. Arizer Argo – $109. This vape is the size of a deck of cards. The Arizer Argo is a session vape with a removable battery and an all-glass vapor path. This is a neat little vape with an extendable body that conceals and protects the mouthpiece.
#6. PotV One – $79. The PotV One is a simple, effective vape with a stainless steel convection heater and titanium bowl. This vape has a glass vapor path and a titanium bowl. The One is similar to the Rogue 2 and the Lobo but is smaller and weaker in battery life and vapor performance.
#7. Arizer Air SE – $89. This vape has been a popular choice since 2014, when it first came out. The SE is an updated version of the classic Arizer Air vaporizer. Conduction-heavy hybrid heating with a removable battery and an all-glass vapor path make this vape a great value. Arizer portable vaporizers are some of the absolute easiest to clean and maintain.
#8. PotV Xmax V3 Pro – $109. The PotV version of the V3 Pro packs a ton of value and a surprising amount of power! This pen-shaped herb vape has an on-demand mode and a session mode. This little dry herb vape pen is entirely convection and requires a bit of inhalation.
#9. Xmax V3 Nano – $49. The V3 Nano is a good option for very light smokers or someone completely new to cannabis. It’s a tiny vape that works well for its size. It uses a mix of conduction and convection heating for better vapor extraction and charges via USB-C. This would also make a great throw-away vape for concerts or vacations. It’s tiny and easy to hide, too!
#10. Starry V4 – $99. The Starry uses pure conduction, while almost every other vape on this page uses varying combinations of convection and conduction. This vape does not heat the intake air and has a tighter draw restriction than most other portables. Conduction vapes like the Starry the Pax Mini and Pax Plus tend to have more sedative effects than convection. The Starry has a black zirconia mouthpiece, a ceramic oven, and a replaceable 18650 battery. This vape is a session vape and a sipper instead of a ripper.

Best Portable Vapes for a Bong
Bongs and bubblers are classic cannabis culture. Vaping through a water bong makes the vapor cooler and adds moisture, allowing you to take bigger hits with less throat irritation. Any vape can be adapted to a bong with a few basic materials, but sometimes it’s just not worth putting a crappy vape on a bubbler. The best vapes for use on a bong will have high power and good airflow. None of these portables compare to the relentless power of a desktop ball vape. See my Ball Vape Page for the real heavy hitters.

Dynavap 🔥 | 9 | 9.3 | Native for B | 3-5 | $39 and up |
#1 Tinymight 2 – $349. The TM2 is a powerhouse of a vape. The Tinymight 2 Water Pipe Adapter is an additional $22 and will provide a direct 18mm or 14mm male connector to your bong. This vape is potent. It will have no problem milking up a bong. The draw restriction on the Tinymight is more open using the WPA than the standard stems with cooling units.
#2 Arizer Solo 3 – $274. The Solo 3 comes with TWO glass water pipe adapters and two glass stems. The other Arizer portable vapes aren’t strong enough to make this list, but the newest Solo 3 has much more power than previous generations. I like using the Solo 3 in On-Demand mode when vaping through a bubbler. This vape has more draw restriction than I prefer with a bong, but the vapor is worth it. The Solo 3 will pump out thick vapor with loads of terpenes and flavor. This vape also comes with two 14mm water pipe adapters free in the box!
#3 Angus Enhanced – $219. I could see the Angus Enhanced moving up this list in the future. This vape uses a halogen lightbulb and a layer of ruby balls to create massive convection heating. The result is an open airflow and incredible vapor. The Angus Enhanced can be customized for more aggressive heating, too! This vape also has replaceable batteries, so you can have extra batteries charged and ready to go at all times. The Angus Enhanced also comes with a glass water pipe adapter that fits 18mm and 14mm female glass joints.
#4 Stunner 🔥- $140. The Stunner is a torch-powered monster. This is a micro-sized ball vape, like the Angus Enhanced, but the Stunner uses a torch to heat the metal tip filled with balls. This vape is a little harder to use, but it’s worth it – especially on a bong! This one is available in stainless steel or titanium. I like the stainless steel better, but it stays hotter and longer. The Stunner’s carbon fiber stem fits 14mm glass natively. If you plan to use the Stunner exclusively on a bong, skip the stem and buy the vape with the water pipe adapter for $115.
#5 PotV Lobo – $159. The Lobo is small and powerful, with a removable battery. It’s strong enough to use on a bong, but it’s several steps below the other vapes on this list in terms of potency and performance. Planet of the Vapes sells the Lobo Water Pipe Adapter for $8.
#6 HR Rogue 2 – $139. The Rogue 2 is just like the Lobo in terms of performance but without the removable battery. Healthy Rips also sells the water pipe adapter for $8.
#7 Dynavap 🔥 – The Silicone and Steel Dynavap B is only $39. It’s a torch-powered vape with a tiny bowl (.08g-.12g). The cap clicks to let you know when to stop heating and start vaping. The Dynavap vaporizer is a bit of a unicycle. It takes some practice to get the proper technique. Watch my Dynavap 101 Video to learn more.
Best Conduction Vapes for a Stoney & Sedative High
Cannabis users who vape exclusively or vape daily often shy away from pure conduction. These vapes don’t preheat the intake air at all. The oven is packed tightly, and the airflow is tighter. Vapor is typically sipped from these vapes in mouthfuls and inhaled with fresh air, often called the mouth-to-lung technique. The effects and high from pure conduction are more sedative and stony. Battery-powered conduction vaporizers are almost always session vapes, which heat up and continue vaping for 8-12 minutes.

#1. Davinci IQ3 – $299. This vape has a giant bowl. It’s the classic Davinci IQ design and interface with a larger battery and bowl. The IQ3 oven holds upwards of .7g and works best when packed full and moderately tight. This vape is not for microdosers; bowl reducers are available for the IQ3.
Use code TEAM420VZ to save 15% off IQC and 10% off IQ3 at Davinci!
#2. Arizer Solo 3 – $274. The Solo 3 is a unique vape. It’s not full conduction, but its effects are in tune with the conduction high. The Solo 3 uses conduction, convection, and radiant heat to create powerful vapor. This vape has better vapor than most other conduction vapes because of its glass vapor path and additional convection heating.
#3. Pax Mini / Plus – $125. The Pax Mini is simple and small. It has a smaller bowl than the older Pax vapes, making it better! The smaller bowl cooks the entire bowl more evenly as it vapes, meaning more terps and less of that burnt popcorn flavor that conduction vapes are known for. The Pax Mini has just two modes – off and on. It works with ground weed or even whole nuggets crammed into the bowl. The $200 Pax Plus has a 2X larger bowl and a variety of customizable vape temperatures and modes. The Pax Plus also includes a half-pack bowl,, making it perform like the Mini.
Pax Vapes are super simple. They’re fun to carry and great for sharing. And they’re tiny.
#4. Davinci IQC – $199. Davinci makes a nice little conduction vape. Its vapor is cooler and smoother than the Pax due to the zirconia cooling chamber in the Davinci IQ. This vape looks sexy and feels great. It’s all metal with a removable battery. This vape has a silicone mouthpiece that can be upgraded to zirconia for a nicer experience.
#5. Xmax Starry V4 – $99. The Starry was the hundred-dollar Pax Killer back when the Pax was 300 bucks, but now the Pax is only $125, and the Starry goes back to being just a cheap, good, conduction vape with a removable battery and full temperature control with digital display. The Starry has a black ceramic zirconia mouthpiece, just like the high-end Davinci!
#6. Vestratto Anvil 🔥 – $229. The Anvil is torch-powered, not batteries. It hits harder than all the vapes in the conduction vapes list, and that’s because it’s not conduction at all. The Anvil uses convection and radiant heat to achieve deep extraction. The Anvil has a quicker vaping experience. It takes 30 seconds to heat up, and then vape it for a few powerful hits.
#7. Dynavap Vapcap / HyperDyn 🔥 – $39-$229. The Dynavap vaporizers aren’t full conduction, but the effects are in the same category. These vapes can deliver very sedative effects when vaping at higher temperatures.
#8. Vapman Click 🔥 – $97. The Vapman is almost all conduction with a little hybrid convection mixed in. The Vapman Click is a fun little vape to use. The new version clicks when its hot enough to vape. The original required a lot more attention.
All Portable Vape Rankings & Results
These are the champions of the 2025 Best Portable Dry Herb Vaporizers, ranked and rated by 420vapezone. I included 45 popular portable vaporizers and scored them across nine consistent ranking factors. The best dry herb vaporizers and their rankings are listed from best to worst.
#1. Storz & Bickel Venty – 9.6/10
Venty is my #1 most-carried portable vaporizer. If I’m leaving the house and want to vape multiple bowls on the go, this is the vape I carry.
The Venty has more airflow than any portable dry herb vape, producing massive fluffy vapor clouds with unrivaled comfort.
This is the most luxurious portable dry herb vape available. It’s the Cadilac of weed vapes—a bagless Volcano in your pocket. The Venty can vape 12 bowls per charge and produces extraordinary vapor.
The Venty vape experience is remarkable, and this vape will be the vape that other vape makers will try to copy over the next ten years. See my full Venty Review

This vape can be used as an On-Demand vape or a session vape.
The $276 (after coupon) Solo 3 includes two glass stems and two glass water pipe adapters. Users can vape directly or through a bong.
I’ve rated the Solo 3 a 9.6, giving it the highest rating of any other portable vaporizer and the highest rated on this list. Tied with the Venty
The Solo 3’s biggest flaw is its portability. It’s challenging to carry on the go as a portable vaporizer, but this vape shines as an ‘around-the-house portable’.

#3 Tafee Bowle 2 – 9.5/10
This is the most technologically advanced vaporizer on this page.
The Tafee Bowle (Series 2) is a unique vaporizer that can double as a cup.
The Tafee Bowle 2 is one of this page’s most powerful portable vaporizers and has the absolute fastest heat-up. This vape heats up in less than 3 seconds!
This isn’t very pocket-friendly, but it’s surprisingly portable with the stubby stem.
The Bowle uses little ceramic ‘pots.’ To see its performance, check out my Tafee Bowle 2 review.

#4 TinyMight 2 – 9.5/10
The TinyMight 2 is a micro-sized powerhouse of a dry herb vape.
The TinyMight 2 is a full-convection vaporizer with both On-Demand and Session Mode.
Depending on temperatures and draw style, this vaporizer heats up in about 10 seconds and can fully extract its bowl in 2 to 5 hits.
The TinyMight 2 has a removable 18650 battery and a built-in stir stick. It comes with a glass stem, a titanium stem, and a stainless steel ‘cooling unit’ that sits in the stem and holds the bowl screen.
This vape is smaller and more pocket-friendly than most, and it has massive vaping power.

#5. Lobo by PotV – 9.4/10
PotV Lobo – Planet of the Vapes put a lot of work into this little vape! The Lobo has more power than most vapes in this size and price range. At only $159, the Lobo is a high-performance convection vaporizer with a removable battery and a glass cooling mouthpiece.
The Lobo is affordable enough to be budget-friendly and powerful enough to serve as a daily driver. The Lobo is great on a bong and Planet of the Vapes has a massive selection of cool glass options.

#6. Angus Enhanced by YLL – 9.4/10
This vape feels like a toy but vapes weed like something out of a James Bond movie. The vapor from this vape is very good, and it has two removable batteries. I could see this vape moving UP the list. A lightbulb and a layer of ruby balls power the Angus Enhanced. It’s a pocket-friendly portable ball vape!

#7. Mighty+ by Storz & Bickel – 9.4/10
Mighty+ Vaporizer—The Mighty+ ($399) is my most used and most recommended portable dry herb vape. It’s been on my list of the best portable vapes since I started reviewing them in 2015. This was my #1 vape until the Venty replaced it.
The Mighty is easy to use and fun to share. The vapor is full, fluffy, and delicious, and the Mighty is easy to load, unload, and reload. The Mighty doesn’t have a replaceable battery. It has 2 internal 18650 batteries and will vape 8+ bowls per charge. Read more about the Mighty Plus in my Mighty vape review.

#8. Rogue 2 by Healthy Rips – 9.3 / 10
The 2025 Rogue 2 brings high-performance vapor with a budget-friendly price tag.
The Rogue 2 will outperform both the Mighty+ and Crafty+. It has a higher max vape temperature, and it extracts more quickly and produces more potent vapor.
This little vape brings a lot of high-end features and high-end performance without the high-end price tag.

See my Rogue 2 Review to learn more or Click Here to buy for $139.
#9. Stunner by Vapor Solutions – 9.2 / 10
This vape surprises me every time I use it. The Stunner is completely unregulated. There is no mechanical or software-based temperature monitoring. The Stunner is one of this page’s hardest-hitting and tastiest dry herb vaporizers. It’s not the easiest to use, but it’s also not that difficult.
The Stunner is one of the few portable ball vapes that performs like a desktop ball vape. It has open airflow and immediately potent vapor. This vape is probably not the best option for beginners, but this is the best vapor for converting a regular smoker to vaping.
The Stunner is heated manually with a blow torch until the flame changes color. It’s a primal experience with a very rewarding high.

#10. Crafty+ by Storz & Bickel – 9 / 10
I wasn’t a fan of the Crafty until they updated the Crafty+ ($279) version to a better battery. I’d still rather carry the Mighty+ and have a few extra bowls worth of power and easy temp control, but the Crafty+ offers the same great vapor in a smaller-sized vape. Crafty+ packs the same perfect vapor as the Mighty+ but in a smaller, less-featured package.
You can click here to pick up the Crafty+ for $279 directly from Storz & Bickel. I also recommend POTV ($223), they are a Storz & Bickel authorized retailer.
#11. Argo by Arizer – 9.3 / 10
The Arizer Argo packs a massive value in a tiny package. This micro-sized dry herb vape is the size of a deck of playing cards and features an all-glass vapor path and a removable 18650 battery.

See my Arizer Argo review to learn more about this vape.
I foresee the Stunner moving up in rankings as more refinements are made. This vape cranks out magnificent vapor with intense effects.
#12. Davinci IQ3 – 9.2/10
The IQ3 is a luxurious, heavy-duty vaporizer with a full metal body and a massive bowl. Its oven is full conduction and holds up to .7g.
The IQ3 is made as an alternative to smoking joints and blunts. Its vaping experience is perfect for those looking to supplement their smoke with a heavy dose of THC and terpenes. The IQ3 uses a 21700 battery (replaceable), and it has an app to customize your vaping experience.

This is a great new edition to the Dynavap family. The Dynavap community have been wanting a larger bowl for years. This is one of the better butane-powered vapes out there. Buy one or see my review.
#14. Solo 2 Max by Arizer – 9.1 / 10
#15. Air Max by Arizer – 9.1 / 10
Classic arizer portable performance with a bigger battery. The Air MAX is a great beginner vape. See my Arizer Air Max Review
#16. Solo 2 by Arizer – 9.1 / 10
The Solo 2 can vape 12+ bowls per charge and it’s charged via USB-C so you can even add a battery pack.
The Solo 2 used to cost $300 and it was competitive with the Mighty. Now that it’s $1 it’s hard to ignore! The all-glass vapor path gives the Arizer Solo 2 an upper hand in the flavor department and the super large internal battery powers through about 13 bowls per charge.
You can click here to pick up the Arizer Solo 2 directly from Arizer for $135 using code TROYTIME20. I also recommend POTV which has it for $135.
#17. Tempest by MadHeaters – 9.1 / 10
#18. M7 by Dynavap – 9 / 10
#19. Anvil by Vestratto – 9.1 / 10
#20. Dynavap B Vaporizer – 9.09 / 10
Dynavap B – By far, the best bang-for-your-buck vaporizer is the Dynavap. The new Dynavap B is a budget-friendly $49. The M is an all-stainless-steel vape that will last a lifetime. Or pick up the BB3 glass stemmed vapcap for an affordable all-glass vape that fits 14mm bongs natively.
If torch-powered portables aren’t for you and the Dynavap Induction Heaters aren’t your thing, there are still several cheap portables I recommend.

XMAX V3 Pro (POTV)
XMAX V3 Pro – Upgrading in style, features, and performance – but still on a budget – the Xmax V3 Pro checks a lot of boxes at only $109. The PotV XMAX V3 Pro also features a replaceable battery system but a much bigger battery than the standard Xmax V3 Pro..

Pax Plus
Pax Plus / Pax Mini – The Pax vaporizers are extremely popular for their small size and easy interface. First-time vaporizer owners will appreciate the simple bowl and sippable robust vapor. The new Pax Plus and Pax Mini are the more pocket-friendly options in the category and offer excellent battery life for their size.
Look for my Pax Plus / Pax Mini reviews soon. The Pax Plus retails for $250 and you can click here to pick it up directly from Pax Labs.
The Pax Mini is basically the same vaporizer minus a few features and overall the much better buy at $150. You can click here to see the Pax Mini directly at Pax Labs.
Hi Troy, I have alot of vapes on this page but was looking for a strong condution, stoney, battery powered vape. I was looking at starry vs cfx+ vs Pax3. What are your comparisons?
Thanks and see on the streams.
In reading all of your reviews, I am not sure which one would provide a milder hit, as I am sensitive to smoke. I am also looking for one that is easy to use and easy to keep clean. Thank you.
Run it thru a bubbler filled with cold water (I keep mine stored in the fridge drawer).
What is the best vape?
I definitely prefer the airvape legacy pro for portables
Best all around are:
Venty- most refined and elegant experience- think of it as a Bentley or Mazareti
Tiny Might- Hammer time… think of this as a BIG 4 WD truck– goes from highway to off road for that BIG experience
Solo III- More like the big truck experience
Everything delivers a much smoother experience when done thru some type of a cooling or bubbler/H20 device for sure.
Some of your choice will be predicated upon the accessories available for the vaporizer. These 3 listed above have some pretty genius accessories and ALL are able to be used with capsules (vaporizer specific) which makes the whole experience cleaner, quicker, and less of a hassle.
Listing the Stunner tops among potency in its field is on mark. Grabbed one from Vg. For us, the effect is similar to the coiled/wireless. Thank you for the review.
Hell yeah, Stunner is a beast of a dry herb vaporizer, plus it’s portable!
It is hard to tell the best,I think the best is the suitable for you.
TM2 in A tier and Solo 3 at the top top of your list just makes me curious if you got to try the upgraded “Purple
Heart” edition?
I thought it was just a limited color like what Puffco does, but found out they cranked up the heater too! also, has the new stems with balls and a glass mouth-piece.
Do you think you’ll do an update on the Tiny? Was curious with all the Solo 3 hype.
I need to update my TM2 content this year. I didn’t go in on the Purple Heart though. It looks gorgeous!
Tinymight 2 doesn’t do much for me in my reach test, but I love it for what that vape can do. It’s just a lot of bills to still be a bit tinker-toy-ish.
Tiny Might 2 Purple Heart is beautiful and quite the upgraded vaporizer! Love the big experience in such a little package!! AND the glass elevates it for sure. Love this color and is a perfect addition to my other 2- Venty & Solo III. These 3 are the perfect assortment for sure.
The M7 is listed as both #18 and #23 in the “All Portable Vape Rankings & Results” list.
It’s THAT GOOD!
Hah, j/k. Thank you for point that out. Updating now
Lol. Awesome lists. I like the butane section a lot as I’m a hug fan . Great work, as always Troy. Thanks
Thank you so much!
