There are hundreds of dry herb vaporizers to choose from, and I have them all. I’ve been chasing the best herb vapes since I first learned about vaping weed.

I provide feedback and compare them with the best dry herb vaporizers. I don’t charge for vape reviews or placement. This list of vapes are truly the best, chosen by a medical patient who vapes weed all day long.

#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, 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. 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.

#4. Arizer Air SE is only $991, 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.

#5 Healthy Rips Fury 3 is only $119. This vape is the newest and cheapest vape of this style. The Lobo, Rogue 2, and Fury 3 are all built on the same frame, but use slightly different heaters and shell designs. The Fury 3 has good vapor, great battery, and easy maintenance. It’s perfectly pocketable and shareable, too.

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.

HR Rogue 2	9.3	9	9.3	$139	Rogue 2 Review

#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.

#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	$349 @ PotV
Tafee Bowle 2	9.7	9.8	8.3**		$450 @ PotV
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	$189
PotV V3 Pro	8.9	8.9	9.5	~12 sec	$109

#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	$359 @ PotV	Venty Review
TinyMight 2	3.5″ x 2.5″ x 1.5″	220g	9.5	$349 @ PotV	TinyMight Review
Rogue 2	3.6″ x 2.3″ x 1.2″	190g	9.3	$139	Rogue 2 Review

Mighty+	5.5″ x 3.2″ x 1.2″	242g	9.4	$320	Mighty+ Review
PotV V3 Pro	6.7″ x 1″ x 1″	105g	8.9	$109	V3 Pro Review

#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	$140
HyperDyn🔥	9.1	9.7	9.2	8	$229
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	$39-$200
Convector🔥	9	9.3	9.3	8.5	$75-$99
Vapman Click 🔥	9	9	9	8.5	$97

#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.

#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!

#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.
