Top 5 Desktop Vaporizers

Here’s our picks for the best dry herb desktop vaporizers, you may have heard of them or even own one. They allow for the best vapor quality on the market due to their unhinged power supply and normally come with a variety of accessories. If you’re into getting the most THC extraction and overall cannabis efficiency as possible, you’ll want to read on about the top 5 desktop vaporizers list we’ve compiled.

Volcano Hybrid

The king has kept its place as the best dry herb desktop vape since its release in the early 2000’s. With an intuitive app integration that is super in-depth, the hybrid heating of the Hybrid Vaporizer (Convection and conduction), will seriously be powerful enough to melt your face off with its THC extraction and vapor quality. With the app, you’ll have access to ‘workflow’ which is a serious in-depth balloon customization feature that will allow you to control heat, fan, and duration timings for minutes at a time – Talk about perfecting your sessions. As an upgrade over the Volcano Classic, the user interface has been upgraded to be controlled by a digital touch screen or by the Bluetooth app, over the older heat dial, and we can’t say enough positive things about the whole kit.

The balloon and 360-degree whip swivel are super easy to use and understand, and overall the Hybrid Volcano can be considered the end-game of dry herb vaping.

Arizer XQ2

As the upgrade to the Extreme Q, the XQ2 Vaporizer has upgraded a lot of features that make that has kept it an entry-level desktop vape, but with even more accessories and customization. The ‘cyclone’ bowl has been upgraded to a 0.5g ‘connoisseur’ bowl that seriously packs a punch. It sits lower to the heat and on a higher temperature has much better vapor quality than the original. The bowl can also be flipped upside down to the ‘flavor’ side, where the herb will sit further from the heat, and provide a better terpene profile. The shiny metal exterior was upgraded to a matte black design and a new multipurpose LED light strip on the base of the vape:

There are two modes light options; In the Spectrum Mode, the colors will change every two seconds for a very colorful experience. In dynamic mode, the unique colors will display information at a glance:

• Heating – Pulses from Yellow to Orange
• Reach Set Temperature – Blinks Green twice
• Stable Temperature – Pulses Orange continuously
• Fan Operation – Pulses Purple
• Cooling – Pulses Cyan
• Cooling with Fan – Pulses Blue

. On the remote, you’ll now also be able to pre-set up to three heating and fan modes for easy access. The upgraded balloons are also super easy to use, and now come with a 10mm male water pipe adapter which can be used with any 10mm female bong, like the 10mm universal bubbler for example.

Arizer Extreme Q

Since its initial release in 2010, and many variations and updates later, the Arizer Extreme Q remains one of the top dry herb desktop vaporizers. If you’re looking for an entry-level desktop vape that still includes a lot of session customizability, the EQ will be for you. You’ll have the option to use either a whip or fill a balloon, and also an aromatherapy bowl for when you aren’t dry herb vaping. The 0.4g glass ‘cyclone’ bowl can easily be removed or added when you’re having sessions for better herb preservation, and some users will even keep their unit on 24/7 for easy vaping access. As with the XQ2, the remote is super handy, and you’ll have a variety of fan and heat settings to use for different combinations (Ex. A balloon filled with a low temperature and low fan setting).

Plenty Vaporizer

The Plenty Vaporizer take the meaning of a whip on a desktop vaporizer to a whole new level with a winding metal cooling unit. The main difference between the popularized silicone whips and the stainless steel, is that the winding surface area on the Plenty will absorb a lot more heat in a more portable unit, making for cooler hits on higher temperatures. With a unique convection trigger based system, whipping out this 0.3g capacity bad boy at parties is sure to be a hit. Relying on convection (hot air) to vape your dry herb, you’ll be able to get a lot of THC extraction on the lower temperatures of the vape which range from 130° – 200°C / 266° – 392°F. Although it doesn’t come with a balloon or any other variation of whip, you can easily attach it to a 14mm globe whip bubbler for a lot of extra session customization and fun.

Dr. Dabber Switch

As a cup-based bowl chamber system, the Dr. Dabber Switch is compatible for both concentrates and dry herb. All users will need to do is swap the bowl, and adjust the temperature accordingly for when they are using loose flower. With a 0.3g-0.4g bowl size and a four second heat-up time with a temperature range of 300 – 800° F / 149- 427° C, all you’ll need to do is select either the flower or dab symbol on the power button and set the temperature. The built-in bubbler is a seriously cool feature you won’t normally find on a dry herb vape, and the glass will add a lot of cooling as well. Unlike the other units mentioned in this post, the Switch actually comes with an integrated 3000mAh battery, so it can more easily be brought outside or around the house at a party. The dual-use is super cool, and the only real downside would be the 2 pounds and over a foot tall awkwardness in terms of portability.
