Top 11 Vaporizers With Longest Battery Life

Purchasing a dry herb vaporizer is a healthful decision. There is no denying the fact that vaporizing your dry herbs is much better for your respiratory system, and for medical patients, vaporizing can provide more healing benefits than smoking. Now you just need to make sure that the vape you purchase is good for your wallet, as well. Battery life plays a huge part in the longevity and value of any dry herb portable vaporizer you decide to buy, so we made a list of the units with the best battery life, along with some potential drawbacks of each. Most “best of lists” go to ten, but we always try to take things a step further for our readers – so we went to 11. Read on to find out more.

Mighty+ vaporizer

Pros

The Mighty+ vaporizer truly lives up to its name, as it is thick and durable. Some vape users love this about the Mighty, as it will stand the test of time, and a bigger unit usually means a bigger battery. The battery on this device is impressive, lasting around 90 minutes of continuous use. The Mighty is easy to charge, and you can vape while it charges – although while charging, most of the electrical power is devoted to the heating element at that time.

Top-notch vaporizer manufacturers Storz and Bickel live up to the German engineering prestige with their product the Mighty. Like its siblings the Crafty and the Plenty, the Mighty uses a combination of convection and conduction heating to give you thick clouds of high-quality vapor and a solid taste. This unit uses an LED display and up and down temperature buttons for a simple and straightforward vaping experience.

Cons

The Mighty uses a proprietary battery that is built into the device, which means replacing it can be expensive and tricky if you ever experience any issues. Some vape lovers prefer a unit that is sleeker and more compact, but it all depends on your preferences.

Even though the Mighty is a large unit itself, the bowl to pack your dry herbs isn’t all that big, especially in comparison to other vapes. You can pack anywhere between 0.1 and 0.2 grams of dry herb. The warranty on the Mighty leaves a bit to be desired at only 2 years.

Arizer Solo 2

Pros

The Solo 2 from Arizer features customizable temperatures that you can adjust at increments of either 1 or ten degrees, choosing a temp between 50 degrees Celsius and 220 degrees Celsius. This pinpoint temperature control is a rarity when it comes to portable vaporizers. The LED display is large, bright and easy to understand. The manufacturing quality of this unit is high, and the vape path is wide and features a glass stem.

The Solo 2 charges up quickly and lasts for hours. You’ll be charged up and ready to go out of the box in an hour and a half. The Solo 2 lasts most vape users about 80 minutes of continuous use, which makes the Solo’s battery quality one of the best. Just like the Mighty, you can use the device while it is charging. This unit comes with strong battery and uses a proprietary battery that won’t be able to swap.

Cons

Just like the Mighty, the Solo 2 also uses a propriety battery that can be expensive and hard to replace. The Solo 2 is also fairly thick and bulky, which might be a turn off to some vape users. The Solo 2 has a heat up time that is slower than most of its competitors, as it takes this unit more than a minute and a half to reaching its hottest temperature of 428 degrees Fahrenheit.

Pax Plus

Pros

The Pax Plus offers a long-lasting battery and probably heats up faster than any other portable vaporizer. About 5 seconds and you’ll be able to take a rip; 10 seconds and you’re at the max heat. This Pax +’s battery lasts for 90 minutes of continuous vaping. This unit also has decent vapor quality. Every Pax Plus comes with a 10-year warranty, which is huge.

Cons

The Pax Plus takes a little while to charge up, anywhere between 2 to 3 hours. The vapor path is all stainless steel and the heating is conduction, so the flavor and smoothness is lower than that of other models. The Pax Plus is high maintenance and also more expensive than other units on this list, and you’re mainly paying for the convenience of the fast heat up time and the sleek design.

Arizer Air Max

Pros

The Arizer Air Max features an upgraded 5000mAh battery that is swappable. For comparison, the Air 2 uses only a 3400. With this battery, you’ll be able to get as much as 2 hours and 15 minutes of battery life, and then be able to get pass through charging with the USB-C cable, or simply swap out the battery to keep the party going.

Cons

The only real downside to the Air Max is that its fairly large, especially when you have a glass stem loaded into the chamber.

XMAX V3 Pro

Pros

The XMAX V3 Pro is one of the most versatile portable vaporizers on the market, as it vapes dry herbs in 3 different modes and a concentrate mode. The vapor quality, smoothness and flavor on this unit is a bit higher than average with this unit that uses pure convection heating. The battery life lasts around 50 minutes, which is solid. Because you can vape both waxes and concentrates, its value is a higher than other dry herb portable vaporizers on this list. The V3 also comes with quite a bit of accessories and a swappable battery feature.

Cons

The XMAX V3 Pro is fairly priced than other portable units, mostly because you can also use it to vape concentrates and that it comes with a ton of accessories. Some vape users have experienced the mouthpiece falling inside of the unit. While the many customization options are attractive to experience vaporizers, it can be a bit too much for newbies, and therefore off-putting.

Davinci IQC

Pros

Vaporizer enthusiasts loved the Ascent, the unit that DaVinci Vaporizer put out before the DaVinci IQC Vaporizer. So many of those people were eagerly awaiting the release of the next unit from DaVinci, named after the famous renaissance artist.

What sets this portable vaporizer apart from the pack is its vast customization and Smart Path setting. While vaporizing your dry herbs in the Smart Path mode, your IQ device will “sense” what your temperature should be, and gradually increase until it gets there. This feature is great for both the vape enthusiast who just wants to set it and forget it and also great for newbies who really don’t know what they are doing, and just want to start vaping. The simple LED lights on the device look cool and let you know when the IQ is working.

The vapor quality on this device is excellent, one of the best in its class when it comes to units that use conduction heating. The IQ vape is also really easy to pack your dry herbs into, and can also be used with glass adapters. While the battery on this device won’t blow you away, it holds its own against the competition. The IQ takes about three hours to fully charge and lasts for 70-80 minutes of continuous vaping use. The battery is also replaceable. This device comes with a great 10-year warranty, which helps add value to the expensive price tag.

Cons

The price tag of the DaVinci IQC portable vaporizer is pretty expensive, especially in comparison to other models in its class. There is a ball on the door of this unit that could potentially get lost, especially during those long, feel-good vape sessions. Even though the sleek, ergonomic design looks awesome and feels very comfortable in the palm of your hand, the shape of this unit is a bit odd compared to other vapes, and it can get caked on with residue and be hard to clean. You might spend more time getting into all of the nooks and crannies in order to properly clean your DaVinci IQC.

Arizer Air SE

Pros

The Arizer Air SE is a smaller version of its widely popular older sibling, the Arizer Solo. The flavor quality of your dry herbs is exceptional with this unit, one of the best. You will get every nuanced flavor and terpene profile with the Air 2. The battery on this vape is removable and can be easily replaced. One button operation makes vaping with this model as easy as it gets. You can also vape while this unit is charging. The heating element comes with a lifetime warranty, which is second to none, and the whole device itself comes with a 3-year warranty – which is solid.

Cons

Even though it isn’t terrible for what it is, the battery on the Arizer Air SE doesn’t measure up to many of the rest of the portable vaporizers on this list. The unit takes between 2-3 hours to fully charge, and only lasts about 50 minutes of total vape time. These battery life times aren’t the worst, but they certainly are not the best, either.

The price tag is higher than some of the other vapes on this list, and the vapor from the Air SE is a bit hotter and harsher than you’d expect, given the price tag. The glass stem on this unit is delicate, and it’s not hard to accidentally break. The glass stem also needs to be cleaned a bit too often for many vape lovers.

AirVape Legacy Pro

Pros

If you can’t tell by now, we love swappable batteries on our portable dry herb vaporizers. With pure convection heating, ergonomic design, and a swappable 18650 batteries, there is a whole lot to love about the AirVape Legacy Pro. With the included wax mesh pad, and concentrate mode which will shoot the temperature up to 464F / 240C and help you get good dab vapor. As for the battery, you’ll get close to an hour of battery life before needing a swap.

Cons

Since the outside body of the vape is covered in protective metal shell, this will be prone to being worn down over time and you especially won’t want to get any of your cleaning alcohol on to it. Also, the design is a but bulky and heavy, so it’s won’t be the best suited to fit into most pockets.

Dr. Dabber Switch

Pros

The Dr. Dabber Switch is desktop vaporizer that makes our list because of its high performance. The price tag on this unit is decent as well, considering it uses high quality induction cup heating and has a decent battery. When you want to either vape concentrates or dry herb, all you’ll need to do is swap out the specialized induction cups that will be better suited for what you want to vape. The temperature control is precise, the bubble is awesome, and the 3000mAh battery is powerful enough to make this a great vape for parties.

Cons

The vapor quality is not nearly as good as the Volcano, but you get what you pay for. The 2-year warranty on this unit is pretty weak, especially in comparison to other vapes on the market. Because of the versatility of this unit, it has to come with a lot of parts that can be confusing for newer users. If you know what you’re doing with it, you’re fine, but all those little moving pieces can be overwhelming if you don’t.

Arizer XQ2

Pros

The Arizer XQ2 from Arizer is reasonably priced and is one of the most versatile desktop vaporizers you can buy. You can vape with a bag aka a balloon, a whip or even a water pipe. Just like other desktop units, this one plugs into a standard wall outlet. Unlike other desktop vaporizers on this list, the XQ2 works quietly while the fan is on. It even comes with an upgraded remote control over the original model. The convection heating element comes with a lifetime warranty, which is the best in the game. Desktop vapes are a great alternative to vape dry herbs for anyone that is concerned about battery life, or for medicinal users in general.

Cons

The XQ2 takes a bit longer to vape than other desktop models, and can take up to two and a half minutes for your vape balloon to fill up entirely. The balloons have no built-in valves, which means they will leak if you aren’t careful. The manual controls can also be confusing for less experienced users. The glass parts that make up this desktop vaporizer do get hot while using, and you’ll need to wait for them to cool down before packing another bowl.

Zeus Arc S Hub

Pros

The Zeus Arc S Hub vaporizer delivers top-notch vapor quality in a very versatile kit that is simply better than most of its competition. You’ll be able to load up to 15 Zeus ArcPod Dosing Capsules into their designated holding trays, as well as everything else in the kit including a spot for you to de-bowl and store your AVB. As the Zeus Arc S vaporizer doesn’t come with the patented metal pick tool, and is only viable with dosing capsules, it’s also very affordable for the vapor quality and ninety minutes of battery life.

Cons

One of the main downsides of the S Hub is the Micro-USB charging. The charge time is around two hours, and Micro-USB is a bit outdated these days. For the dosing capsules, the paper lids will only have a three use limit before you’ll need to buy more, and the Xtruder grinder isn’t as good as simply just scooping dry herb into the pods.

Conclusion

It’s important to note that a solid option would be to get a car charger and power up your vape while you’re driving or before you need to use it, which cuts down on the time you’ll need to wait for charging. We definitely recommend getting yourself a vape case, especially if you buy a unit and extra batteries and chargers along with it. A case keeps all of these things in one place.
