Best 3-in-1 Vaporizers

If you’re looking for a vaporizer that can handle all three forms of material, then this list is the right one for you! Naturally, you’re going to be quite limited in your available options since very few devices can handle all materials. However, many weed vapes can handle concentrates quite well, so if you’re not dead-set on compatibility with oils, you have many more options available.

These vapes are designed to be used with oil/e-liquids, wax-type concentrates, and dry ground herbs. Not many 3-in-1 weed vapes exist on the market, so here’s your best resource for finding what’s out there. With the exception to the custom/DIY option, we’ll admit and say we prefer dedicated devices instead from a performance standpoint.

Dr. Dabber Switch

The Dr. Dabber Switch is a unique E-Rig because of its unique induction cups that you’ll be able to use in a variety of different ways. They all have a titanium base but have different inserts that can provide you with different functions. Out of the box, you’ll have a dry herb ceramic cup and a concentrate cup that will allow you to vaporize flowers and dabs quite well. Depending on what you want to vape, all you’ll have to do is change out the cup you want to use. With a wide abundance of Switch cups available, you’ll be able to vape oils, flowers, or dabs extremely well. Plus, with 25 pre-set heating temperatures, you’ll be able to fine-tune your session exactly how you want them.

Boundless Tera

The next best option for a true 3-in-1 herb vape is the Boundless Tera Hybrid. With a concentrate mode, you can shoot the temperature up to 500F / 260C in combination with the included concentrate cup to get the most out of your dabs or thick oil. 

The best advantage of the Boundless Tera Hybrid is the removable 18350 batteries. For probably obvious reasons, we prefer a removable battery and the removable cells of this unit are a great option. Elsewise, the performance for all materials is pretty similar between the two devices, so it’s hard to say which is the best 3-in-1 weed vape. 

XMAX V3 Pro

Definitely the smallest and simplest option among the available devices, the V3 Pro by XMAX uses dosing capsules to help you vaporize whatever you want cleanly and effectively. By this, I mean the sold separately XMAX Dry Herb Dosing Capsules, or the one included XMAX V3 Pro Wax Cup. With the mesh design of the wax cup, users can place a rice-sized grain of concentrate, or a small amount of oil and then place it within the chamber for a normal session just like you would normally do with the flower. 

While the entire setup and system has a great user experience and is simple to use, the performance is quite lackluster compared to others because the heating system is convection-based, so concentrates will need a little extra time to heat up. We’d only recommend the XMAX for dabs if you only occasionally use the other various materials. Elsewise, the performance seriously lags behind wax vaporizers for every type of material and we’d really recommend the other units.

Focus V Carta 2 

Featuring a large 14mm 3D heated ceramic atomizer, the Carta 2 has plenty of room to vaporize flowers, wax, and oils. Tightening or loosening the atomizer will alternate between flower and oil mode, which will change the temperature controls to better vaporizer ground flowers or dabs. With the sold-separately Carta 2 Dry Herb Atomizer with better airflow will also help bring up the vapor quality of your flower. While the Carta 2 might have been initially made for concentrates, it also does a fine job with flowers and has earned a spot on our best 3-in-1 vapes list. 

AirVape Legacy Pro 

The AirVape Legacy Pro is the newest vaporizer on this list and is also perhaps the best portable dry herb vaporizer on the market currently. With the included mesh pad, you’ll be able to place a few drops of wax or viscous oils and crank up the temperature into concentrate mode for a very effective session. Also featuring an ‘on-demand’ heating mode, you can also choose to activate the heating whenever you are holding the power button which will allow you to be more efficient with how you want your concentrates. 

For its powerful heating capabilities and free-flowing air, the ALP has earned a spot on this list. 

Mighty+ Vaporizer 

The Mighty Plus is a great option for medicinal users as it is one of the only certified devices on the market. With a hybrid heating system thanks to the hot airflow and ceramic-lined conduction oven, you’ll be able to alternate between flowers, dabs, or oils depending on if you want to use the Mighty Dosing Capsules or the Mighty Liquid Pad. While the oven doesn’t get quite hot enough to do very viscous oils, it’s a decent option if you don’t mind paying the premium price tag. Especially with flowers, you can’t go wrong with the Mighty+. 

Carta OG 

As a cheaper alternative to the Carta 2, the Carta OG is the first version of the E-Rig that uses a titanium bucket as its heating source for concentrates. However, you can choose to upgrade to 3-in-1 functionality by purchasing the Focus V Carta Dry Herb Atomizer which features a ceramic bucket. With this upgrade, you’ll have a unique E-Rig that can vaporize anything you want for around $100 less than the Carta 2. While it uses 4 pre-set temperatures instead of precision temperature control, the vapor quality will still be enough to keep most connoisseurs happy. 

A DIY/Custom setup

Requiring a learning curve and the most expensive option around, a custom setup is by far the best way to get top-notch performance with each material choice.  If you’re already familiar with nicotine vapes/e-cigs, this won’t be too different than what you already know.

What you’re going to need is a 510-threaded battery, like a Joyetech eVic or Wismec Sinuous P80. These will allow you to thread on the appropriate atomizers for each type of material. With a dedicated atomizer for each material, you can guarantee the best performance. Choosing a battery/mod which uses a removable 18650 battery and firmware updates is highly recommended.

An example of a 510-threaded wax atomizer would be something like the Saionara atomizer, DC Gen 3 wax atomizer, or Hercules atomizer. These have strong customization options with the atomizer and can provide a real dab-like experience. These can range from $50-$100.

Examples of 510-threaded herb atomizers are the RBT Splinter, MistVape Imp, DC Gen 2, and ModPodLabs Stamped. These can range from $30-$200 and can even match the performance of some seriously high-end devices which cost twice as much.

510-threaded oil cartridges of all types can be used as well. Standard carts like the CCell TH2 and PCKT SPRK will fit with no problem and offer great performance. Just ensure you adjust your output power to not accidentally blow the atomizer out!

So while you may have to lug around a few different atomizers, this is by far the best way to get the absolute best performance. No jack-of-all-trades device will be able to keep up with the performance of this modular and custom setup; however, they will be significantly easier to use. Overall, you can expect to spend up to $300 for an entire custom setup, including mod, atomizers, and batteries.

Summary

Honestly, we’d recommend a dedicated device for each type, or at least a wax/herb vape and an oil vaporizer separately. The cost will likely come out to be very similar and you’ll enjoy much better performance and vapor quality across the board. An exception to this would be a DIY 510-threaded weed vape setup.

There are plenty of good-budget herb vapes available at a great price, and both good wax and oil vapes can be found for easily under $40 each. We’d opt for this route if you’re budget-conscious.  Check out our vaporizer buyers guide to help you understand how dry herb vapes work and which is right for you.
