Desktop Vaporizers

At the top of the pile for tabletop vaporizers is the epic Volcano by Storz & Bickel out of Germany. The Volcano is the one of the first desktops to grace the market. It is essentially an industrial grade unit, which offers the very best quality vaping experience due to the heat source being totally separate from the vapor itself. The Volcano is a pure convection unit, in that hot air passes over the herb and fills a bag with the extracts of the active compounds in cannabis which offer medicinal effects.

Pros: Desktop vaporizers offer the very highest quality vapor and are built to last and are economical.

Cons: Desktop vaporizers can only be used when in a fixed location with an electricity source.

Some are built with plastic parts, while others have pure glass vapor paths for maximum flavor. Some portable vaporizers are bulky and not ideal if you are going for stealth. And yet others are tiny, palm-sized devices which can be used virtually anywhere. Factors like battery life, build quality and temperature range should all be taken into account, before you purchase your first vaporizer.

Pros: Can be used on the go due to portability and size. Many portable vapes can reach high temperatures.

Cons: Limited to only dry herb material, without the option of using oils at a later date.

An oil vaporizer is as simple as pressing a button and inhaling with no other preparation or technique involved. As long as you are an avid concentrate enthusiast, an oil vaporizer could be the perfect choice for you.

Pros: Simple to use, highly convenient and almost smell-free.
