Are dry herb vaporizers portable?

Are you looking for something discreet and tiny? If so, our best stealthy dry herb vapes list will sort you out!

Stealthy and small vapes usually come at the cost of performance and battery life. Understandably, they need to pack in smaller heaters, batteries, and other compromises to deliver a discreet package.

While they’ll get you to where you need to go – larger vapes almost always pack more punch for the penny spent. For that, check out the below section.

Best weed vapes to quit smoking with?

It’s likely that you’re already a cannabis consumer. Transitioning from smoking to vaping weed can be a challenge as the experience and hit type is different. If you’re someone with a high tolerance or love that familiar ritual, check out the best herb vapes to stop smoking with blog – it’ll get into all the top devices to scratch that itch. One of the most popular vapes to quit smoking with is the DynaVap M Plus.

On the other hand, perhaps you just want an absolutely huge hitter. I’m guilty of this and the best heavy hitting herb vapes list is where you’ll want to go. These often have big chambers, a huge amount of power, or extract a bowl quickly. Be careful, some of these hit hard.

Something with a big bowl, big battery, and powerful heater is what you’ll be looking for. A great low-cost heavy hitter with a big bowl is the G Pen Elite 2.

Best dry herb vape battery life

Let’s face it – batteries are annoying. When it comes to cannabis, nothing is more frustrating than firing up a session when out and about only for it to cut out before the chamber is heated up.

The Arizer Air MAX is one of the absolute best vapes with a big battery. Boasting a three-hour battery life, it’ll go on seemingly endlessly and charge rapidly alongside being dead simple to use.

The Mighty+ once again gets a mention in this how-to guide for its large battery. No explanation needed – it’s a beast!

Alternatively, look at the vapes with swappable batteries USB-C charging if you always want to be topped up quickly.

Dry Herb Vaporizer buying guide conclusion

Don’t buy nice and you’ll buy twice. A dry herb vaporizer is an investment and can seriously make a huge impact on your life. While there are many good budget dry herb vapes out there, we’d really recommend saving up and getting the best one you can – it’ll pay dividends in the long run.

This is twice as true if you’re already a smoker or heavy hitter – you likely won’t be satisfied by a low-end device. We cannot stress enough how choosing correctly the first time is so important.
