Features and Performance Criteria to Consider Before Buying
On our product pages, be sure to check out the specifications tab to review information like these!
Heating Methods
Heating methods vary for portable vaporizers depending on how they heat the material to produce vapor. There are
three main types of heating methods: conduction, Convection
Vaporizers, and hybrid. You'll find this information in the specifications tab of our product pages. You can
learn more about this spec in our Conduction
vs. Convection Vapes blog post.
Conduction heating: This method involves direct contact between the material and the heating element, such as a metal
or ceramic chamber. The oven heats up and tends to produce more vapor with short draws but air flow is restricted
and they are much smaller in size.
Convection heating: This method involves hot air passing over the material, such as in a glass or metal tube. The hot
air heats up the material and causes it to vaporize. They'll normally have better flavor and smoother hits, but
requires longer draws and the vaporizer will be larger in size.
Hybrid heating: This method involves a combination of conduction and convection heating, such as in a dual-chamber or
a fan-assisted system. They'll be more powerful and often have a premium price tag.
Temperature Range Control
Different portable vaporizers have different ways of regulating the temperature depending on their design, including
precise control or pre-set temperatures.
Pre-set temperature control is simpler and easier to use, as the user only needs to press a button to cycle through
the available settings which can be a good feature for beginners or users that stick to one temperature.
Precise temperature control is more complex and advanced, as the user needs to use a dial, a display, or an app to
set the temperature. This can be a good feature for those that like to tweak settings or connoisseurs, though.
Extraction Efficiency
Extraction will vary between portable vaporizers - Some will have stronger heating elements that can cook your weed
much better than weaker ovens. Some will have a higher temperature range which extracts more of your dry herb
efficiently.
Airflow
Airflow is an essential factor that affects the quality and quantity of vapor produced by portable vaporizers.
Airflow refers to the amount of air that flows through the device from the bottom up. As mentioned, convection and
hybrid vapes will have better airflow compared to conduction style ovens.
Customizable Accessories
Portable vaporizer accessories are additional items that can enhance your vaping experience, like bong adapters that
will let you pair the vape with a bubbler or bong!
Other accessories might include herb containers, grinders, carrying bags, cleaning kits, and more.
Battery Life and Swappable Battery Options
Battery life and swappable battery options are important factors to consider when choosing a portable dry herb
vaporizer. Battery life refers to how long a vaporizer can operate on a single charge, while swappable battery
options refer to whether the vaporizer allows the user to replace the battery with a spare one when it runs out of
power.
Heavy users might want to consider a battery life or more than an hour and a swappable battery option, whereas for
beginners, battery life isn't a very important spec.
Materials Used
The materials used in the portable vape like glass or medical plastic can affect the experience.
For example, ceramic and glass are inert materials that do not react with the herbs or concentrates, and produce more
flavorful and potent vapor.
In terms of durability as well, a metal body might be more durable when compared to a plastic casing!
Types of portable vaporizers
There are different types of portable vaporizers, depending on the material they can vape and their heating method.
Some portable vaporizers can vape wax, which is a concentrated form of cannabis that has a sticky and waxy texture.
These 2-in-1 vapes typically include a wax cup or liquid mesh pad for their chamber to help keep them clean.

FAQs
How many hits can I get from a portable vaporizer vs. smoking?
You'll be able to get fifteen big hits from an average handheld weed vape, or 20-30 hits if you're taking
smaller inhales on a lower temperature setting.
What is the best vaping temperature?
An average temperature of 210 Degrees C (410 degrees F) is ideal so that both CBD and THC heat
simultaneously. This helps users get the maximum effect from the release of most cannabinoids.You can also do something called temp-stepping, which means slowly raising your temperature to make sure you extract
all of the different terpenes effectively!
Do dry herb portable vaporizers make you smell?
Vaping produces a faint, less noticeable odor and dissipates faster than smoke. Vaping also does not leave a
smell on your clothes or in your room as much as smoking.
Are handheld vaporizers safe?
The lower heat that portable vaporizers use will produce fewer carcinogens than smoking.
Some vaporizers like the Mighty+ are even medicinally certified and offer UL electric verification to prove they are
safe.
What do the best portable vaporizers offer?
Some features you can expect from the best portable vaporizers include a high-quality heating system,
precise temperature control, a user interface screen, and generally better manufacturing materials. One example of
this would be the AirVape
Legacy Pro.
Is it feasible to cut costs by using dry herb vaporizers?
Portable vaporizers are a great way to save money as they are more efficient in extracting cannabinoids and
terpenes from the plant material, while smoking burns most of them away.
