Do you enjoy the finer things in life? Do the small details of every session matter to you? Then yes, an expensive dry herb vaporizer might be worth your hard earned cash. Expensive vaporizers like the Venty, Tinymight 2, and Tafee Bowle hit those high price tags, but offer features and performance you can’t find anywhere else.
Like a luxury car, these vaporizers hone in on the experience with better materials, better output, and better features. Vaporizers, regardless of the price, do the same thing, but these high-end units take the time and effort to produce results that propel them to the front of the pack.
Let’s dive into some of our most expensive vaporizers to understand what makes them stand out from the rest and what those extra dollars will get you.
The best airflow in a portable vaporizer: Venty (c$606)
The Venty vaporizer took Storz & Bickel's outstanding performance and supercharged it with the most open airflow you'll find in a portable vaporizer. They even measured it: 20 liters/minute at its maximum.
Why does this matter? Most vaporizers and a lot of heavy hitters are held back by limited airflow. A lot of them are solid, but fall short for heavy consumers. So S&B built the Venty to do two things: 1) let you take massive hits with almost no restriction, and 2) deliver great flavors and dense clouds to match.
Airflow is also fully adjustable. Spin the air dial and tighten it up for slower, more casual sips or set it somewhere in between. It’s a great vape for groups that have a variety of different hit styles. Just pass it around and adjust it on the fly.
To tie everything together, the Venty sports an efficient hybrid heater, a large 0.3g oven, and guarantees around 12 sessions per charge.

The most consistent portable vape: Mighty+ (c$539)
The Mighty+ has long been the portable gold standard for consistent, portable vapor. Whether you’re looking for a soft and mellow experience or a strong rush, it delivers with minimal technique. Just pack the oven full, turn it on and set the temp, and enjoy. It’s that simple.
It’s not the prettiest vaporizer, but it shows up in all the ways that matter. A roomy 0.3g oven gives you enough play for a strong solo session or a friendly group vape, and its dual 18650 batteries deliver around 11 sessions per charge.
c$539 is a big ask, but for many, it’s been their one-and-only.

Hardest-hitting portable: Tinymight 2 (c$467.95)
The Tinymight 2 is the hardest-hitting portable vaporizer you can buy, and a perfect example of what you get when you spend more. At c$467, a full convection powerhouse delivers thick, heavy clouds in as little as 10 seconds. Its airflow is a little tight, but rip it as hard as you want and it’ll deliver without a hiccup.
The Tinymight 2 also gives you full control with both on-demand and session modes. Take a quick hit and set it down with zero waste, or settle into a longer session when you’re in no rush. Other vapes offer both, but none do it as well as the Tinymight 2.
With a quick heat-up time, an adjustable oven, and a swappable battery for all-day use, the Tinymight 2 is well worth the high price.

The best desktop vaporizer: Volcano Hybrid (c$944)
The Volcano Hybrid's price is a hard one to swallow, but very few argue it once they've used it. The Volcano name has earned a rock-solid reputation for performance, safety, and longevity. It’s built to last and carries the highest safety ratings in the industry.
Each session runs off a massive half-gram oven and Storz & Bickel’s patented hybrid heating system that delivers world-class sessions through your choice of a bag of vapor or hookah-style whip.
The Volcano Hybrid is also one of the most durable vaporizers money can buy. With a rugged shell, medical grade components, and zero fragile parts, the Volcano Hybrid is designed to elevate you safely and efficiently for years and years to come.
