The DaVinci ARTIQ offers a high-quality vaping experience. It’s versatile, compatible with most 510 cartridges, and stands out with its ultra-cooling technology that reduces vapor heat by 90%. The fully concealed cartridge chamber ensures the longevity of oils and provides a discreet usage. The device offers four variable heat modes, unique haptic feedback for perfect draw measurements, and a robust 760 mAh battery that lasts for approximately 500 draws.

The Yocan Black Phaser Arc is a comfortable, ergonomic eRig for wax/dab, retailing at $100. It operates as a dab straw, dipping the coil into the extract container. It features a trigger activation button, RGB lights, and an OLED screen. Despite not being the cheapest, it stands out for its quality and intuitive design, making it a top choice among similar devices.

The Ooze Verge is the biggest surprise of the year. It performs exceptionally well for a sub $150 vape. It uses three heating systems- convection, conduction, and infrared to heat up the herb in the oven evenly and create a very efficient extraction. It has a .5gr Ceramic oven which is replaceable, and precise temp control. The battery life is on the shorter side, but still, this is easily one of the best dry herb vapes of this year at this price level.

The Volcano Hybrid proves the viability of desktop vaporizers by providing the vapor quality and customization features that portable vapes cannot match. It allows you to program your own heating profile so that you can choose how you want to vape. The Hybrid also comes with a balloon and a whip for even more customization. Those options give the Volcano Hybrid an impressive level of versatility.
