Best Portable Vaporizer Guide 2024: Find the Best Dry Herb Vaporizer for you

While some of the decisions in our guide took some debating, this pick was as easy as using the Mighty+. There are no special techniques to learn or moving pieces to keep track of, it just works, pumping out smooth vapor that lives up to its name. It may feel a little on the large side at first, but with its amazing battery life, comfortable airflow, broad temperature range, and great sharing potential, it won’t be long until you’re finding room in your bag for the Storz & Bickel Mighty+.

The Mighty+ stands on the legacy of its predecessor, the Mighty dry herb vaporizer from Storz & Bickel. It retains all of the Mighty’s greatness, but also heats up quicker, has improved electronics, and universal USB-C charging. Now you can truly go anywhere, anytime with top-shelf vapor at your disposal!

The POTV Lobo comes out swinging with top-tier vapor at half the price, and a stamp of approval from passionate vape experts. Inhale and exhale strong, potent, and flavorful vapor, whether you’re a beginner user or a longtime vaporist. It comes loaded with fan-favorite features like a user-replaceable battery, access to our vast ecosystem of glass accessories, and more, for only $159.95.

If you want a portable dry herb vaporizer that performs at the highest level, without breaking the bank, the POTV Lobo is one of our first choices. It’s designed to perform with minimal vaping-knowhow. Just pack it, turn it on, and inhale. It’s that easy.

We couldn’t talk about the best vapes without including the powerhouse Venty vaporizer from Storz & Bickel.. It takes what Storz & Bickel is known for - reliable performance with consistency and excellence - and pushes it even further with bigger and better hits.

Controls are simple and there’s no fancy techniques to learn and master. It’s as simple as pack, power on, and hit. Its highlight feature, adjustable airflow, caters the hit to your exact liking. Close it for tighter hits that are slower and more relaxing, or open it up all the way for the biggest, baddest hits. It’s even compatible with Storz & Bickel’s web app for deeper customizations.

It’s not very pocketable, but its suite of useful features, extensive battery life, and simplistic design make up for it.

If you want the tastiest vaping experience, the Tinymight 2 vaporizer can give it to you. This dry herb vaporizer draws the purest flavors from your herbs with full convection vapor, which is the tastiest and most efficient method of vaporization. Lower temperatures provide the boldest flavors, while the higher temperatures produce a tasteful mix of aromatic flavors and dense clouds.

Not only does the vapor taste good, the Tinymight 2 also comes with a lengthy list of features, including Session & On-demand vaping modes, a removable battery, an adjustable bowl, and more. There’s not a whole lot the Tinymight 2 can’t do.

The Arizer Solo 2’s most noticeable feature -- the glass stem -- is also the most important when it comes to flavor. The heat passes into your herbs at the end of the stem, and from there on out, it stays in the glass, resulting in vapor that’s clean and flavorful. You can load up several stems ahead of time, and the Solo 2’s impressive battery is happy to keep chugging along.

Whether you sip it or rip it, the Venty vaporizer pours out delicious, potent vapor. A robust hybrid heater cooks your herbs efficiently and serves up the very best flavors of your herbal blends, no matter how you hit it.

With a wide temperature spectrum to play with, the Venty can take full advantage of low-temp vaping for the very best flavor. Adjust the airflow dial however you please and inhale rich clouds without sacrificing vapor quality or performance.

The extremely pocketable Planet of the Vapes ONE would be happy to spend the day with you. This tough little vape fits easily into your pocket, and heats up super quickly, so you won’t be waiting when you have a moment for a session. When you get home, you can use the water pipe adapter or mini bubbler to settle in for the evening.

Even on the road, the ONE happily pumps out surprising clouds of vapor, considering its size. The only part that suffers a bit is battery life, but with the potency and efficiency of the ONE, we think it will carry most light to medium users through the day without any issue. Plus, at just CAD$119 with your choice of glass attachment, it’s a great value.

The DynaVap M7 doesn’t fit what most people expect out of a vaporizer, and that’s one of the reasons we love it. Rather than settling in for a long session, you heat the end of the VapCap for a big, bold hit, any time you like.

It’s extremely pocketable, has no batteries to recharge, and there are tons of awesome upgrades and even third-party mods. Buying a VapCap opens a whole new world of fun, and the VapCap M is a great place to start.

If you like what you see, but don't want to use a torch lighter, check out one of these induction heaters. They're amazing!

The PAX Plus does it all. It fits in your hand without drawing attention, heats up fast, and packs a lot of herb - or concentrates! The PAX Plus is small enough to travel well in any pocket, bag, or purse. It only has one button, so it’s easy to turn on without looking, and vibration alerts tell you when it’s time to vape. You can sneak in a quick hit, or a full session, with its 30-second heat up time, or utilize its “Stealth Mode” which dims the lights and reduces visible vapor.

Whether you chase flavor, clouds, or anything in between, the PAX Plus will fit your style with multiple Experience Modes at your disposal. On top of all that, it comes with a 10-year warranty, for long-distance peace of mind.

When it comes to compact vaporizers, few are smaller than the Planet of the Vapes ONE. Most average sized hands should have no problem completely concealing it, and its dressed-down appearance blends in with your other belongings. But it isn’t just size that helps the ONE fly under the radar, it also heats up extremely quickly, so you can snap a few quick hits when you find the time.

The Solo II vaporizer has no equal when it comes to battery life. It’s capable of running for three hours on a single charge, without sacrificing flavor or vapor production. The glass stems help your herbs’ natural flavors shine, a luxurious touch that’s particularly nice for home use.

If you take it out with you, Arizer provides everything you need right in the box, like extra stems you can load ahead of time, caps to keep anything from falling out, and a holster to keep all your bits and pieces together. It’s not perfect, but it’s the best way to take flavor to a friend’s house, without worrying about charging up first. The Solo II comes with a 2-year warranty on workmanship and defects, an industry leading 1-year warranty on the battery, and a lifetime warranty on the heating element.

The Mighty+ falls short of the Solo II’s battery life, but really the difference comes down to the experience. Where the Solo II leans towards lighter, more flavorful vapor, the Mighty+’s hefty cooling unit allows for chunkier, thicker clouds, without them tasting or feeling harsh. The Mighty+ is one of our favorite vaporizers overall, and even though it’s still fairly large, its all-in-one design makes it easier to take with you than the Arizer Solo 2 vaporizer.

If you only have $CAD130 to spend, the Planet of the Vapes ONE is an easy pick. It was our top pick for under $CAD300 before its price drop. The POTV ONE is extremely compact, and heats up super fast, so you can bring it with you and sit down for a session wherever you might be. It’s built on an already popular vaporizer, with our special accessory attachment to settle in for home sessions.

It comes with everything you need to get up and running, and It’s also a great starting point if you’re new to vapor. For $10 more, we include your choice of extra mouthpiece for the accessory attachment, like a tiny bubbler for well-cooled hits, or a water pipe adapter for your existing glass.

For a battery-free option, consider the DynaVap M7. Instead of warming up for a long session, heat one end of the VapCap, then take a thick draw off the other. The twin air ports allow adjustable airflow to dial in your ideal hit.

It has a strong community of tinkerers and modders who swear by it, and the VapCap M is a great place to start, without spending very much.

The XMAX V3 Pro charged out of the gate with an amazing feature list for only CAD$134.95. It’s an incredible value, with features like full digital temperature control, a removable battery, and Session or On-demand vape modes. This vape is incredibly efficient with your herbs, and only cooks them while you inhale.

Not only is the V3 Pro one of our best sellers, it’s priced well below CAD$300. At $134.95, you’ll have money left over for herbs or vape accessories. That’s a good thing, because the V3 Pro excels on a bubbler with its water pipe adapter. Grab a few batteries, and the party never ends!

If it doesn’t have to be quite so compact, the Arizer Solo II has a lot to offer. The glass stems are awesome for flavor and efficiency, and Arizer sends you everything you need to get started right in the box.

It’s easy to use for personal sessions, or share with friends, and the huge battery means you won’t have to worry about charging it often.

Technically, any Sticky Brick vaporizer could qualify as a candidate for a best under $200 list, but the Runt is special. It’s the smallest of the bunch, and the lowest-priced handheld model as well, but packs the same punch. With the power of fire at its disposal, after a little practice the Runt delivers massive hits that electric portable vapes can’t match. The Runt also packs an over-sized-bowl for larger appetites. Did we mention that its elegant build-quality?

Beginning to end, the Mighty+ is the easiest vape around to use. It turns on with a single press of the clearly marked power button, has a large, easy to read LED display with precise temperature control, and the adjustment buttons are up front and bright orange. It even comes out of the box with an 80% charge, so it’s ready to go immediately.

But it isn’t just the controls and simple setup, the Mighty+ is also easy to hit. You can draw as fast or as slow as you like, and the Mighty+ will happily produce flavorful, potent vapor. It’s easy to pass around and share with friends, without having to teach them how to use it. Everyone has a good time, and no one has to teach any lessons on how to vape.

The medium-size, yet pocketable Boundless CFX boasts a big screen, clearly marked buttons, and a spacious oven for easy loading. It doesn’t need any special instructions, so you can hit it right away or hand it off to your friends for a quick session. Boundless is known for chunkier clouds, which makes it easy to see how much you’re taking in.

Storz & Bickel has plenty of practice dialing in their vapor, and it really shows. The Mighty+’s blend of conduction and convection ensures every oven gets fully roasted, with no stirring required. Whether you like to take little sips, or long draws, you’ll see impressive results and smooth vapor. Plus, with some of the best battery life of any vaporizer we sell, it’s great for a long weekend.

The Mighty+’s digital controls aren’t just convenient, they also help with efficiency. You can slowly turn up the temperature over the course of a session or oven, or turn it down if you find you want some more flavor. With plenty of battery life, and support for the Storz & Bickel dosing capsules, you can run some easy side-by-side tests and see what you prefer, while getting the most out of every bit.

Like the Mighty+, the Solo II’s efficiency comes from the balance of convection and conduction heat. The glass stems keep the herb chamber cooler between hits, reducing waste and preserving flavor.

With a small bowl and gentle heating when you’re not hitting it, the Solo 2 can be dialed in to really stretch your herbs.

The Firefly 2+ has a unique take on cooling vapor, with a wide and shallow, mirrored vapor path that expands and cools the vapor before hitting your lips, and a heating system that minimizes direct contact with your herbs. Even on the hottest mode for concentrates, every sip is smooth and tasty. Slow draws help cool the vapor even more, making this handheld convection vaporizer a shoe-in when it comes to preventing coughs.

You can also dial in the experience to exactly how you like it with the app, so all you need to do is hold the buttons for the perfect hit. If you like to tinker and try out different settings, this vaporizer lets you get under the hood and find the sweet spot for you.

The Storz & Bickel Mighty+ is one of our favorite vaporizers overall, and the cooling unit up top plays a big role. It may not look like much, but the series of fins packed inside lets you take big, hefty rips off the Mighty+ without worrying about coughing or sputtering. It’s also extremely easy to use, which makes it one of the best vapes for sharing with friends.

As its name suggests, the Tinymight 2 is a pocketable powerhouse that pumps out some of the biggest clouds we've seen from a portable vaporizer. Swap between Session and On-demand modes in a pinch and vape exactly how you please.

The Tinymight 2 heats up in under five seconds and produces thick, potent clouds with the full flavor profile of pure convection heating. With a hot-swappable 18650 battery, a built-in stir tool, simple controls, and, of course, massive cloud-ripping power, the Tinymight 2 is the clear winner for the best vaporizer for big clouds.

When it comes to clouds, there are few portable vaporizers that can compete with the Mighty+’s prowess. Even though it doesn’t have the largest heating chamber, its powerful, well tuned heater produces thick, luscious hits at any draw speed. Plus, it’s sizable cooling unit means you can hit it hard, and at high temperatures, without having to worry about coughing.

And of course, when you need it to, the Mighty+ is a great vape for passing around or taking on a long weekend. Everyone will appreciate the ease of use, and of course, its potent effects, even at lower temperatures. When you need it to, the on-board digital controls let you bump up the heat to get the party going.

The POTV Lobois our signature cloud machine and the runner-up for Biggest Clouds of 2024. It comes equipped with a highly efficient and effective hybrid heater for thick, potent, flavorful clouds. A maximum load sits around .20g of dry herbs, with a top temperature of 430°F / 221°C for the thickest hits. Push this little cloud factory to the max with our Water Pipe Adapter and your favorite tabletop bubbler for cloudiest hits with minimal harshness.

If you just want a quick hit, the Vapman vaporizer could be just the trick. This handcrafted, portable vape is powered by a butane torch lighter and can easily vaporize loads as small as 0.01 grams. It comes with one of the smallest bowls on the market and can pull vapor from virtually nothing! Just load the oven with a small amount of herbs, heat it up, and enjoy your microdose within 15 seconds. You can heat it “slow and steady” for a gentle, flavorful hit, or push it to the brink for a full, potent microdose. It’s up to you!

Another way to microdose, instead of using tiny bowls, is to use a vaporizer that lets you take a hit and come back later, without cooking the herbs between hits. The Firefly 2+ is perfect for that one-hitter style of vaporizing. With instant, on-demand heating, it lets you pack up to 0.15 grams of dry herbs, and take eight to ten hits at your own pace, even if it takes days! There are seven on-board temperature settings, with more options via the smartphone app.

Hold the buttons down, and within seconds you’ll have your perfect hit ready to go. Take as long as you want to finish the bowl, or chain your hits together for a supremely tasty session.

The E-Nano isn't portable, but it's so good with microdoses that it must be mentioned. Desktop vaporizers usually satisfy bigger appetites, but if you’re looking for the best microdosing desktop vaporizer, the E-Nano from EpicVape shines with any sized dose. The all-glass stem has an adjustable stainless steel screen that slides up and down to accommodate doses as small as 0.015 grams! You can leave this desktop vape on all day, with a quick hit always ready. The E-Nano is beautifully crafted from a choice of woods, and paired with a pure glass stem for perfect taste.

It may look sleek and gentle, but the PAX Plus vaporizer packs a serious punch with the temperature turned up, and you’d be surprised at how fast you and some friends can chew through its sizable oven.

It’s a bit more delicate with your flavors than the Boundless options, but can be picky about how you prepare it, while still being easy enough to pass around.

The Mighty+ has an above-average sized bowl, but the speed and efficiency it brings to the table will draw heavy users back. Easily pack a quarter of a gram of ground herbs, and up to a third of a gram with practice. Tear through the bowl in a couple minutes and go back for more. If you’re hungry for vapor, the Mighty+ can go and go and go.

As an added bonus, Storz & Bickel developed the best dosing capsules in the business. Pre-pack as many bowls as you want and how-swap them out while on the road.

The latestArizer Solo 3 vaporizer comes loaded with sweet features like Session and On-demand modes, and introduces Arizer's XL stems that double the herb capacity of the originals. Pack up to .4 grams of ground herbs with the straight stem or connect it to your favorite glass bubbler with the 14mm XL Frosted Glass Aroma Tube (WPA). With duel vaping modes and Arizer's signature vapor, the Solo 3 is a great option for those looking to vape large loads.

The Crafty+ and Mighty+ are two of our favorite vaporizers for their impressive vapor output with herbs, and that power can translate to concentrates too, if you turn up the heat. Both vapes include stainless steel pads to prevent anything from dripping down into the heating element, and they’re as simple to use as they are with herbs. Just a little dab on top of the pad, and off you go.

That also makes the Mighty+ and Crafty+ more shareable and more pocketable. You can load up dosing capsules with both herb and concentrates and head off to your destination knowing you and your friends are totally set, no matter the situation.

The Firefly 2+’s concentrate mode works excellently right out of the box, with the included concentrate pad that fits perfectly into the oven. Place a small amount of concentrate on the pad, set the Firefly 2+ to the highest heat setting, and enjoy tastes you’ve missed before. The gentle, convection heat preserves your concentrates the same way it does flowers, extending the herbal taste much further into your sessions. Instead of monster dab clouds, the Firefly 2+ delivers longer sessions with your concentrates, that are gentler and tastier than high temperature dab/vape pen hits, but still effective. The Firefly 2+ is a solid choice for someone who mainly vaporizers flower, and has the occasional concentrate on hand to enjoy.

Glass stems may not sound groundbreaking, but Arizer’s unique system helps preserve the herb’s natural flavor, and slowly adds conductive heat to your herbs for a full, flavorful session. The latest Solo 3 sees the addition of the XL version of the glass stem and water pipe adapter that holds twice as much as the originals. Pair that with one of the longest-running batteries on the market and you’ve got yourself a fantastic at-home companion.

The Mighty+ comes packed with dual 18650 batteries that pump out 60 to 90 minutes of session time. Controls are simple, vapor is consistent, and the addition of our Mighty+ Glass Adapter continues the fun and excitement with countless ways to enjoy this legendary vape. It's a little large for pockets and small purses, but it serves well as an at-home driver and fits well in the hands so you can pass around a group of friends and keep the parties rolling.

If you want to pair a vaporizer with your favorite glass bubbler at home, the POTV Lobo is the perfect choice. The Lobo is designed to keep up with all of your vaping needs, from slow, easy-going sips, to fast, cloud-driven sessions. Hook it up to a bubbler for thicker, more potent hits that are easier on the throat and cloudier than ever. The Lobo is easy to pass around a group of friends - simple controls and no special techniques required. And when you need, skip the charge times altogether with a quick and easy swap of the battery. For less than $200, it's hard to beat!

Storz & Bickel is currently the only certified medical device manufacturer we carry, but unfortunately, we don’t carry the medical models. These special versions of the Mighty+ and Volcano Hybrid vaporizer go through extra steps to ensure they meet certain standards, and aren’t available for general purchase. The closest we have is the normal consumer version of the Mighty+, which is an almost identical device without the same level of certification.
