Conduction Heating System
The Flowermate Slick vaporizer uses a conduction-based heating system with a long and narrow chamber that will fit around 0.4 grams of finely ground cannabis. The chamber is high quality, as it’s made from black ceramic which is super nice for a budget vaporizer. On the outside of the mouthpiece, there are four air intake holes which will also work to add some convection THC extraction the longer your session goes on. The result is AVB (already vaped bud) that will always have a nice and brown hue which indicates that your bud has been well cooked.
Flowermate Slick Vapor Quality
The vapor quality on this unit is excellent, as most rips that you take will be super flavorful and smooth – The glass mouthpiece and the high quality black ceramic chamber definitely help in that regard. As far as vapor production, it’s a bit below average, but for the price tag and what this device is meant for, we were satisfied with our sessions with it, and our customers seem to agree. The pods that are included are great for using waxy concentrates or if you’re ready for a new session with a different strain. If you’re someone that’s trying to quit smoking weed by transitioning to a vaporizer, then the Slick will be perfect for you. It’s optimized for short and frequent sips that are very comparable to hitting from a pre-roll or cigar.
How to use the Flowermate Slick?
Like most vapes, be sure to turn your Flowermate Slick on to the highest temperature when you first take it out of the box in order to burn off any residue that might be leftover from the manufacturing process. It’s a good idea to do that at least three times before you load up your material for your first session. There are three preset temperatures on the Flowermate Slick vape, and they are color coordinated. The blue light temperature is 196 Celsius, the green light temperature is 205 Celsius, and the red light temperature is 215 Celsius. Most users seem to think that the sweet spot is the green light temperature at 205.
Let’s take a look at what a sample session looks like:
- To use the Flowermate Slick vaporizer, first take off the lid and mouthpiece and pack your herbs.
- Then, press the button five times to turn the device on.
- It will vibrate and the light will turn solid when it’s ready to go.
- Press the button 3 times to toggle between the 3 preset temperatures.
- The auto shutoff feature will turn off the Slick after five minutes if you haven’t turned it off before then
Using Dabs
With the included wax dosing capsule, you can use the pick tool from the kit to load a small amount of concentrate into the pod. The design is threaded and there is some cotton at the bottom to make sure that nothing leaks into the chamber. Using the highest heat setting of red, you’ll be able to get surprisingly good vapor quality if you utilize long and slow inhales. Make sure that you pick up extra dosing capsules if you plan on using the Slick for a lot of dabs!
Flowermate Slick Battery Life
The Flowermate Slick vaporizer has an 18650, 2500-mAh-lithium ion battery which you’ll get about an hour of continuous out of. It’s a nice feature that the battery is removable compared to other budget units because it means that you can easily buy a new one to swap out while your other one is charging for a basically never-ending party. If you’re looking for a device with a longer battery life, consider upgrading to the Arizer Air Max.
Flowermate Slick Build Quality
The Flowermate Slick vape has a carbon fiber finish, which we thought looked really stylish. The unit is definitely built to last as long as you take good care of it. The lid for the Flowermate Slick mouthpiece is a nice touch as well. The lights around the button add to the overall aesthetics of the device, and the haptic feedback is stronger than most other vaporizers, which could be a nice feature for medicinal users. The Slick definitely lives up to its name!
Portability and Discreetness
Portability and discreetness is one area that is a bit lacking for the Flowermate Slick vape. It’s over six inches tall and weighs four grams. It’s not really that heavy, but the carbon fiber metal finish does add a bit of weight to it. It’s no desktop vaporizer size, but there are definitely smaller and more discreet vaporizers on the market today, if that’s what you’re going for. One good thing about carrying the Flowermate Slick is that the magnetic metal lid protects the glass mouthpiece in case you accidentally drop it. Personally, I’ve dropped our sample units about ten times while I was high and there isn’t a single scratch on the device. If you do manage to break the glass mouthpiece, though, a replacement will only cost around 10 dollars.
How to Clean the Flowermate Slick?
Maintaining your Flowermate Slick vape and keeping it clean is easy. The brush that’s included easily gets rid of any material leftover from your previous session. Every once in a while, use some vape cleaning sticks, which are soaked in alcohol, on the mouthpiece. Alcohol wipes also work really well to keep your Flowermate Slick vaporizer nice and clean if you’re going to be using it a lot on the go.
Flowermate Slick Pros
- Durable and Slick design
- Swappable 18650 battery
- Magnetic cap to protect glass mouthpiece
- Perfect for transitioning from smoking pre-rolled joints
Flowermate Slick Cons
- Limited temperature range
- Not the most portable
- Will need chamber stirs for best results
Final thoughts
If you’re new to vaporizing, the Flowermate Slick vape is a good choice for beginners because it’s affordable, easy to use, and offers consistently solid vapor quality. The included pods for concentrates and dry herb also add a lot of value to the overall kit. Most newbies have no trouble unboxing it, firing it up to remove any manufacturing residue and then getting right into their first session. If you liked a lot of the features of the Slick, but are looking for something just a bit different, the XMAX V3 Pro is a great alternative.

Flowermate Slick F.A.Q
Q: What are the included dosing capsules for?

A: You can use the cap to protect the glass on the mouthpiece. When you’re using the vaporizer, you can use it on the magnetic bottom of the vape, and even store some weed in it if you’d like.
Q: What kind of battery should I use for spares?
A: Look for anything with the specs of: 3.7v and 20 amps
Works pretty good as a first weed vape, I like the removable battery and I use it a lot with my girlfriend at the movies and stuff. I think for a cheap weed vape it’s a good device for sure. Idk how it compares to others but overall I’m pretty happy with it.
I have four other dry herb vaporizers and found this one to be a nice balance between price and quality. While there are other budget dry herb vapes out there, I’d definitely say that this one for just a little more money is a nice improvement.
The body is nice and comfortable to hold, the removable 18650 battery is extremely convenient, and overall I’m pretty satisfied with it. The vapor quality is alright however it’ll definitely do the trick for the majority of circumstances.
Decent weed vape for groups sessions since the removable battery is nice but it does get hot after my n my friends use it so much. Gets us pretty high but for a group of 4 ppl we fill like 3 or 4 bowls. Its cool n the removable battery works w my vape battery so its perfect.
Pros: Removable 18650 battery, nice form factor, comfortable to use, sleek, glass mouthpiece, easy to use
Cons: Vapor is a bit hot, clouds aren’t the biggest.
I really enjoy this vaporizer I only have one other desktop vape the Arizer extreme q. I think this is a really good portable unit and the removable battery is the best thing on it. I bought a couple of replacement batteries for it and I never run out of juice on the way out.
Its lit for sure bought it in store rly nice guy helped me figure out how to use it. Wanted a good weed vape for me n my gf and he recommended this one. Definitely a rly good vape top notch for sure hits nice. Me n my girl just smoke in the movies n its perfect bcuz no one finds out a thing its perfect.
I’m a medical cannabis user and have chosen this is my first device. My doctor prescribed my cannabis but I would rather not smoke and so he said a vaporizer or ‘edible cannabis’ is the best pick. The kind service agent provided me with this device as a recommendation. Duly, I couldn’t be happier at his recommendation.
Alongside that he recommended a couple of spare batteries to accompany it. What a perfect recommendation as I can vaporizer all throughout the day without worrying about running out of battery life. For those wondering, the battery I got recommended was the LG HG2 battery, which fits perfectly in the Flowermate Slick.
Cleaning this unit has been quite simple as I use isopropyl alcohol for a lot of my other hobbies and always have some on hand. The things you learn in 40 years of tinkering! Anyways, it is a good product and I would certainly recommend it to others, especially if you’re on a budget.
Good vape but how do I clean the flowermate slick? I tried to let it soak in water but that didn’t do anything really lol. I even tried scrubbing w soap and that did a lil but not all the way clean yet thanks
As per the recommendation on Reddit when looking for a budget dry herb vaporizer, I picked up the Flowermate Slick. I think it’s a solid first unit though I have no other frame of reference to compare it to. I really enjoy the removable 18650 battery and I bought a second one to always have ready for when I need it.
