Best Vaporizers 2017 for Marijuana and Dry Herb
Vaporizers are a modern and healthy way to smoke. In a vaporizer, the tobacco or the herbs are not burned but heated until the active ingredients are released.
This is an entirely new development because for thousands of years people inhaled the ingredients mainly by burning tobacco or herbs. With the smoke produced by this combustion, however, the desired stimulants are not the only ones that enter into our respiratory system. Indeed, as it has been found in numerous studies in recent years, a large part of the components is harmful to our health. These include tar substances, carbon monoxide, and heavy metals. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that many users of home-made cigarettes smoke without a filter.
With a vaporizer, the herb, the oil or extract in the vaporization chamber is vaporized in a much cleaner way, and there is no combustion which produces that large part of harmful substances in the smoke.
The Pax 3 gets excellent marks for the material. Only medically safe materials have been used, and they significantly reduce the health risk compared to cheaper vaporizers. Variable temperature, fast warm-up time (15 seconds) and handy control with smartphone application contribute to the positive overall picture. One disadvantage is the conduction oven, which is often used in portable vaporizers due to space constraints.
The DaVinci IQ impresses with its good material quality and manageability. It is one of the smallest vaporizers on the market. With the handiness also comes a conduction oven. However, due to the vast temperature range and the Smartpath technology that defines a program for the temperature development during the vaporization session, this does not have a significant influence on the quality of the vapor cloud.
The Mighty Vaporizer from Storz & Bickel provides a suitable temperature range of 40°C-220°C. It uses a patented combination of convection and conduction heating. A cooling unit ensures a pleasant vapor cloud. The Mighty Vaporizer is a quality product with numerous extras and two powerful batteries. The batteries are permanently installed in the vaporizer and cannot be replaced, but the vaporizer can be used while charging.
The Firefly Vaporizer 2 is 33% smaller and 55% lighter than its predecessor, the Firefly, making it small and handy. For heating, the Firefly uses a convection oven which, together with the borosilicate glass, supplies aromatic clean vapor. Two batteries for the vaporizer are included.
The Boundless is the most significant and heaviest vaporizer in our Top 5, approximately with the size of a smartphone. With this size, a large heating chamber and short heating time is achieved by a hybrid convection/conduction furnace.
The Storm Vaporizer is a high quality material for clean vaporization. The heating chamber is a ceramic conduction oven and the vapor channel is separated from other electrical components despite the small size of the evaporator. The temperature can be increased in 5 steps from 180 °C to 220 °C.
The Vapium Summit is, according to the manufacturer, a vaporizer that you can bring with you on mountaineering or other expeditions to inhospitable areas. It works without problems for temperatures from -30°C to 80°C. During the test, it was, first of all, determined that the closure of the heating chamber with a small magnet is quite weak. This is a problem that the manufacturer also noticed, so a rubber band to improve the closure also comes with the vaporizer. Apart from that, the Summit+ is really suitable for outdoor use. Dust and splash guard is so robust that you can use this vaporizer even in the shower.
The G Pen Pro costs around 90 pounds, just like many pen vaporizers. Grenco Science has focused on compactness and efficiency of vaping experience. There are three temperature levels from 190°C to 220°C, heated by a ceramic conduction oven. A small disadvantage of the compact design is that there is no removable battery. A fully charged G Pen Pro will run for 2 hours.
The Aura provides two hours of battery life for around 70 pounds with temperatures between 40°C and 220°C and a ceramic oven. The device is relatively light because, apart from the oven, plastic was used. This choice of material results in a slightly chemical taste when the vaporizer is used for the first time. It is advisable to burn out the aura to vaporize any volatile substances.
The Gravity is a vaporizer tailored to Vape-Waxes and fascinating by its good appearance. Due to the quite high price, one could call the Gravity the iPhone among the pen evaporators. A robust quality vaporizer for users who like to pay a little more for good design.
The Volcano Digit is a tabletop vaporizer with digital temperature display that allows you to choose between temperatures from 130°C to 230°C in 9 steps. The workmanship is a good quality one according to the price. Only tasteless materials were used. Besides, there is an automatic shut-off function to save electricity, a cost-saving balloon system, and a 3-year warranty. If you have 440 pounds left, this is one of the best devices on the market.
The Aromed (350 pounds) is the underlying rock of the table vaporizers and has a somewhat old-fashioned design. It can vaporize any kind of herb without any problems and with low emissions. The clinically pure heat source produces a dust-free clean vapor cloud. A good choice for someone who puts functionality and ease of use above appearance.
De Verdamper Deluxe, from Holland, is a little bit complicated and has many glass parts that can easily break. In addition, the warming-up time of 10 minutes is a little bit longer than usual vaporizers and the herb must be present in sufficient quantity and trimmed well. For 350 pounds you will get a clean and very aromatic vapor if you are technically proficient enough to use the Deluxe.
The Volcano Classic is, like the Volcano Digit, a product made in Germany with outstanding quality. It includes the same features as the digital, without LED display and the auto power off option. The price is 100 pounds less.
The Arizer is the cheapest vaporizer in our Top 5 with a price under 200 pounds. It is easy to use and has a short heating time. With the ceramic heating element, the vaporizer can reach temperatures from 50°C to 260°C and since many glass parts are used, the vapor cloud has a very pleasant aroma.
The Magic Flight Launch Box costs around 90 pounds. The box is about the size of a matchbox and therefore it is very handy. While the vaporizer mainly consists of wood, the heating chamber is made of stainless steel and works with convection heating. The mouthpiece is made of glass. There is no temperature control; instead the temperature is determined by the power supply, by inserting and removing the battery. You need some practice to obtain an aromatic vapor.
The Boundless costs around 100 pounds and is specialized in the vaporization of oils and waxes. The battery is built-in and can be charged via a micro USB cable.
The puffco also costs around 100 pounds. It is designed to vaporize waxes and does not work with other substances. Accordingly, the temperatures are somewhat higher at 304°C -380°C. No adhesives or metal parts are used in the ceramic heating chamber for good aroma.
The Vaponic is very simple and costs about 25 pounds. It is made of laboratory glass and thus produces a clean steam that does not taste like the vaporizing material but rather like the used herb. A lighter is used for heating, so the temperature control needs some skills. An interesting detail is the design of the packaging which resembles a marker pen. So not everyone has to see that you carry a vaporizer with you.
The VaporGenie costs around 25 pounds, reminds of a pipe and is used similarly. The herb is heated with a lighter and the silicon carbide flame filter prevents the herb from burning. The service requires some skills, but with a little practice you can get an aromatic vapor cloud.
The VapCap costs around 40 pounds and is also heated with a lighter. The body of the device is made of glass, which provides a clean aroma. Like other low-price vaporizers, it has no temperature display. However, the vaporizer warns that the optimal temperature has been reached by a click sound. If the temperature has dropped too much, the VapCap also reports it with a click.
