Similar to cars, vaporizers will get you where you need to go. Some though, will get you there quicker and more comfortably and efficiently than others.
A vaporizer is no different and you want one that can vape your flower and/or concentrates evenly and consistently through a myriad of unique temperatures so you can get the most flavorsome and potent vapor possible.
Simply put, the general rule is the more you spend, the greater the vaping experience you can expect to have with regards to flavor, freshness and performance.
Vaping is a long-term investment that will save you time and money compared to smoking where literally half your herb is wasted and goes up in smoke.
Desktop Vaporizers
The most expensive vaporizer available to buy (bar diamond-encrusted ones) is the Volcano Digital from legendary German giants Storz & Bickel at $599
A super-powerful desktop vaporizer, the Volcano Digital is capable of vaping both dry herbs and concentrates to an incredible array of temperatures ranging from 104°F all the way to 446°F, all at the touch of a button.
A digital display and intuitive interface allows anyone to use this powerhouse of a machine but if you are put out off by the price you could always go for the less expensive yet equally impressive Volcano Classic.
Value
The original Volcano offers the same powerful potent flavorsome hits only at a lower price simply because it has an analog display rather than a digital one and has slightly fewer temperatures to choose from than the digital.
Dabbing
For those of you who enjoy dabbing may we suggest the fantastic Puffco Peak which has 4 unique temperature settings to vape your concentrates into highly potent cool vapor.
With an incredibly fast 20 second heat-up-time, the Puffco Peak blows traditional dab rigs out of the water and at a very reasonable price of $350
Desktop vapes are incredibly powerful, but bulky. If you are interested in something more portable but want the same power and performance than take a look at the Mighty from Storz & Bickel.
Portable & Powerful
The most powerful, portable, dual-use vaporizer on the market boasts an insatiable amount of temperatures ranging from 104 to 410, allowing you to activate each and every terpene and phytocannabinoid from the flower in increments of a single degree!
The Mighty boasts a huge battery that will keep you going all day long but the Mighty is not discreet. Not unlike his little brother The Crafty which is identical to the Mighty only with a smaller battery making it much more discreet.
Small but powerful
The Crafty offers the same smooth, cool, tasty draws as the Mighty due to its unique cooling path and mainly convection-style heating system.
Incredible performance & value
If you don't care about discretion and you just want to get the best portable vaporizer that will offer the most untainted, freshest, coolest and most delicious vapor available anywhere, then you must get a Ghost MV1.
Imagine everything the brilliant Mighty offers, but even cooler vape, and an even cooler price at only $295!
Arguably the best value portable vaporizer on the market simply due to its phenomenal performance that vape veterans are raving about.
The only negative is that it has a similar size like the Mighty at around 5 inches tall and so is not ideal for those needing absolute discretion.
Best of both worlds
But maybe you simply don't care about size and discretion, maybe you're looking for something powerful to vape within the privacy of your own home. If so, you should look at the Plenty. A desktop that thinks its a portable.
The Plenty is another piece of engineering genius from Storz and Bickel, it features precise temperature control between 266°F and 392°F for the ultimate in taste and vapor density.
The Plenty comes in at a very reasonable $250 and considering it can vape dry herb and concentrates and deliver cool flavor, it is well worth it.
Flavorville
If you are looking for a portable and discreet vaporizer that will provide smooth, delicious, cool vapor then go for the Firefly 2 which is world-renowned for its quality of flavor. Terpenes have never tasted so good!
Ultimate discretion
In terms of something that is ultra-compact for the ultimate in discretion, you most certainly will want to look at the luxurious PAX 3.
A dual-use portable vaporizer, the PAX 3 will fit discreetly into your hand, yet is powered by a 3500mAh battery that provides incredibly tasty vapor within an incredibly fast 15 seconds!
The PAX 3 comes with an intuitive app that allows you to turn the device on and choose any temperature from 360°F to 420°F without anyone knowing.
Conclusion
You could buy a cheap vaporizer like the Black Mamba for example and it will do the job for you by vaping your herb.
But if you enjoy herb and you think you will be consuming it for some time to come, then it makes perfect sense to invest in yourself by investing in a quality vaporizer.
Not only will it save you money in the long run; you will finally be able to taste the flavors that the herb can offer, all thanks to vaporization.
