Types of Vapes
Portable Vaporizers
- Incredibly compact, some as thin as a pencil
- Made for dry herb, concentrates or 510 cartridges, depending on the model
- Great vaporizer option for those frequently on the go
Portable vapes are compact and easy to carry around, making them ideal for on-the-go vaping. These vapes are battery-powered and typically have a small chamber for loading the vaping material. Portable vapes are discreet and perfect for those who want to vape outside of their homes. Generally designed for dry herb use, some units do vaporize concentrates, just not as efficiently as a vape pen does.
eNails & eRigs
- Often include variable temperature options
- Powered by rechargeable batteries or plugged directly into an outlet
- Some models offer a smartphone app for additional control
Some of the newer vape technology on the market, eNails (electric dabbing nails) & eRigs (electronic dab rigs) are made for efficiently dabbing wax without requiring a torch lighter to heat the nail before applying your concentrate. Being battery powered, electronic dab rigs are easily portable and can produce massive clouds with just a little dab of wax. Erigs are a great option for users who prefer concentrates over dry herbs.
Desktop Vaporizers
- Biggest vaporizer build with the largest material capacity
- Directly plugs into a power outlet for largest output of any vaporizer type
- Available in forced air (balloon bag) or direct draw (whip style)
Desktop or tabletop vaporizers are larger, stationary devices for those who only intend to use their vape at home. Powered by direct plug-in to a wall outlet, these vaporizers are generally the most powerful on the market and high-end units feature full temperature control to the specific degree. Being able to precisely dial in the temp means highly efficient vaporization no matter the consistency of your herbal material. Common models include forced air (balloon bag) or direct draw (whip style) vaporizers.
Types of Vaporizer Temperature Control
Control over the temperature of your vaporizer is crucial for producing the most efficient vaporization. As the dry herb heats, there is a temp range where the active ingredients begin to release. When the temperature increases, a larger variety of these compounds are delivered through the vapor. Now, if the heat rises too far, this can lead to combustion of the dry herb, defeating the purpose of using a vaporizer.
Many early vape designs featured a fixed temperature with no way to adjust it. As vaporizer technology quickly advanced, the use of preset or precise temp control became the popular options for most devices. This ability to regulate temperature has allowed for more efficient vaporization.
Preset
Portable vaporizers with preset temperatures generally use a single button control, making them a good option for beginners. They tend to offer three or four temp levels that are optimized for the most common vapor profiles. These usually range from the mid-300 degrees to somewhere in the low 400s, providing a variety of effects. The lower tiered temps provide more flavor and higher options produce larger clouds of vapor. If you’re looking for straightforward, a preset temperature vaporizer will likely be your best option.
Precise
A portable vaporizer with precise temperature control allows you to select your temp down to the specific degree. This functionality can be important to those seeking particular effects from their dry herb as various levels of heat bring out different effects and flavors. These models often feature a digital LED display so you can quickly see your set temp and the current degree in real time. You can easily explore a variety of cloud thicknesses, flavor profiles, amount of herb packed in the chamber, and more. If you really want to customize your vaporizing experience, a vape with precision temp control is what you’re looking for.
