The Best Dry Herb Vape Pens

Portable dry-herb vape pens are fast becoming one of the most popular ways to discretely and smokelessly enjoy marijuana or other cannabinoid derivatives such as CBD.

While dry herb vaporizers may look like something James Bond would use to get his smoke on, the mechanics behind portable dry herb vaporizers are less high-tech than you might imagine – And can offer users some serious advantages over traditional smoking.

What Should I Look For in a Dry-Herb Vaporizer?

Anyone looking for a vaporizer they can use on the go should take the time to look at choosing a well-crafted pen-style portable vaporizer, as they are ergonomically designed to fit conveniently in any pocket.

These portable vaporizers are also far more discrete when used, especially in public, making them ideal for hiding in plain sight and providing instant relief no matter where you are.

Besides size and portability, another thing you should look for in a dry herb vape pen is a good battery capacity and whether or not it can vaporize both dry herbs and concentrates, such as e-liquids and wax/shatter, or just herbs alone.

With unmatched heating technology, which produces a consistently reliable vapor, and a robust yet compact build, the Mighty is by far one of the best dry herb vaporizers you’re likely to find (without even mentioning the fact that it looks incredibly cool).

Airvape X

For those who value discreteness when vaping, the Airvape X may be a perfect choice.

Hailed as the thinnest dry herb vape on the market, anyone looking for a reliable way to enjoy cannabis buds concentrates or oils on the sly should seriously consider this vape pen.

However, the Airvape X is not only discrete, but also boasts an impressive battery capacity that will keep you happily puffing for prolonged periods – Again making it ideal for vapers on the go.

One unique feature of the Firefly 2+ is its variable heat function which increases the air temperature as you inhale up to the maximum limit that the user sets.

By taking on board the few areas of improvement sighted by fans of the previous Firefly vape pen, the Firefly 2+ has an increased airflow percentage of 33% by using dynamic convection technologies to produce an airy and light vapor that goes down smoothly.

Another attractive feature of the Firefly 2+ is that it only heats up when you inhale, meaning that no dry herbs or concentrates will ever be lost between inhales.

High There’s Dry-Herb Vaporizer Buying Guide

Any of our above recommendations are a solid choice if looking in the market for a new vaporizer, but here’s a few things to look for when browsing herb pens to buy:

Battery Life

When you are buying a portable dry herb vaporizer one of the most important things to keep in mind is the battery life that each vape has. These can vary massively between devices, so you should always be mindful of how long a particular device is meant to last before you settle on one.

Heating System

When your shopping for the best portable dry herb vape, you’re likely to come across two different heating systems – Conduction and Convection heating.

Conduction heating systems vaporize the dry herbs by heating the walls of the heating chamber that it is kept in, creating a vapor that may then be inhaled. Convection vaporizer systems rely on moving fluids like steam to cause the heat to transfer and create vapor.

The best vapes are those which offer hybrid convection/conduction, which means they use both heating systems.

Functionality

Often it can be tempting to go for the device which has the most flashing buttons and lights, but in reality (we’ve found, at least) when it comes to vapes, less is very often more.

The best portable dry herb vapes are the ones that are easy to operate, clean, and understand – Rather than the ones which look the most impressive or futuristic.

Portability

Size is something that you should also keep in mind when looking for your ideal dry herb vape. If you want something that can easily fit in your pocket so you can use it after work or in public, then you won’t want a large desktop-style device.

Similarly, if you are intending to purely use the vape at home then size may not be such an important factor.

Final Thoughts

As the dried herbs are decarboxylated & vaporized in a vape pen, rather than burned, you should find that the vapor goes down far smoother and is more forgiving on your throat and lungs.

While finding the ideal device for you might take some time, hopefully, this article has cleared the air on what a dry herb vaporizer is and what you should look out for when shopping around. Happy vaping!
