HoneyStick BeeKeeper Background

The BeeKeeper is a convenient, easy to use, oil vape from HoneyStick that should be great for all your favorite CBD and THC oils, whether they come in a bottle or in a pre-filled cartridge. Yep, the BeeKeeper is a 510 threaded battery that’s more convenient than most because of how small and discreet it is and because of how easy it is to use. Unfortunately, some design missteps prevent it from reaching its full potential.

The BeeKeeper is one of those batteries that fits easily in the palm of your hand and that you don’t have to fiddle around with because it only has a single voltage setting. That may reduce customization but it also speeds up session preparation. There’s more to the BeeKeeper, so keep on reading for more details about this battery.

If you’re ready to get it right now, then the BeeKeeper is available directly from Vape-Smart for $40 and you can use our exclusive HoneyStick coupon code TVG10 for an 10% discount.

Contents of its Kit

• HoneyStick BeeKeeper
• One oil tank
• Magnetic conceal adapter
• Micro-USB charging cable

How it is Designed

The BeeKeeper has a standard boxy design like so many of these batteries do. However, as I stated earlier, at just under three inches, it is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, or in whichever pocket you choose. One advantage these box style batteries have over the pen style vapes is that the cartridge slips inside of them so it is not exposed and prone to breaking like it would be on a pen style battery.

The BeeKeeper adds further convenience via its use of a magnetic adapter that attaches to the cartridge. Once it its attached, all that is necessary is to drop it into the cartridge receptacle, no screwing necessary. The BeeKeeper doesn’t stand out, but that is fine since it is clearly designed with covert vaping in mind.

How it Performs

Vapor Performance:The BeeKeeper performs well with both the included refillable oil cartridge and with the pre-filled cartridges of your choosing. However, the performance lags behind other batteries because of the solitary voltage setting of 3.9V. It is fine for most situations but a wider choice of settings would have been preferable.

You should also know that the BeeKeeper won’t work with thicker oils and that larger cartridges won’t fit. Both issues should be ironed out in the updated HoneyStick Beekeeper 2.0, which should be launching soon and we’ll be sure to update the review once it’s released.

Battery Performance: The battery is twenty watts and can last for a few sessions, However, it takes around three hours to fully charge so keep that in mind.

Background

HoneyStick (Visit Store) is the ‘jack of all trades’ in the vaporizer industry. They have a wide variety of vape pens, dry herb vapes, and 510-battery for oil carts. One of the few examples is HRB Turbo (Review) for weed vape and the Plasma GQ (Review) for the wax pen.

The HS Phantom is a versatile conceal-type vaporizer that can vape both wax and 510-threaded cartridges. It has a ‘squeeze-to-vape’ feature with four variable voltage settings, making it easy to use for first-time vapers. In this review, I’ve used Steve’s Goods CBD Extracts, which is available to ship anywhere in the US.

HoneyStick also released a ‘signature’ version of the Phantom. It has a much more durable anodized aluminum body with a refined honeycomb finish while maintaining the Phantom’s same performance and functionality. It costs around $144, and if you apply our coupon code: TVG10, you’ll save 10% and bring the cost to around $118. On the other hand, if you use the coupon code on the original Phantom (which costs $100), it will bring the price down to $82.

Design & Features

The Phantom has a sleek rectangular-shaped body and comes in a silver or black honeycomb finish. It looks classy, and when I hold it, it has a firm grip on my hand. However, the surface is not scratch-proof, so ensure that your keys and the Phantom aren’t in the same pocket to preserve its attractive look.

As for the size, it’s under three inches tall and less than an inch wide, so it can be concealed with a closed fist and fits in any pocket/purse. If you’re putting it in your pocket, keep in mind that the mouthpiece of your tank might stick out. Shorter tanks don’t stick out too far and won’t be too inconvenient, but longer tanks stick out and can potentially cause problems in the future.

There’s a peep-thru window beside the cartridge receptacle that allows you to monitor the carts’ oil level. On the other side, You can open the squeeze handle to expose the micro-USB port and the voltage settings indicator. The design is kind of awkward since you’ll need to open the handle to toggle to a specific voltage setting. It could have been better if the light indicator on top also shows the current temp setting as most vapes without an LED screen.

Magnetic Connection

The Phantom has magnetic adapters that allow it to vape wax and oil carts. For those who don’t know, this is typical for conceal-type batteries since it’s much more convenient and saves a lot of time than screwing the atomizer/pre-filled carts on the thread. As you can see, the Phantom is a 2-in-1 vaporizer:

• For Oils: The Phantom has a 10.8mm cartridge opening to fit any pre-filled carts. It has two magnetic adapters for 0.5g and 1.g oil carts, which is useful since some vapes can’t accommodate bigger oil carts. Another notable feature is the kit also comes with a refillable cart, which comes in handy if you want to test a CBD/THC oil.
• For Solid Extracts: The Phantom has a ceramic chamber with a Dual Quartz Coil, which heats up quickly and tends to produce intense and hot vapor.

How to Use

As I’ve mentioned before, the Phantom has a ‘squeeze-to-vape’ feature, making it a lot easier to use than typical 510-batteries. To use it, you need to:

1. (Recommended) Make sure to charge the Phantom before turning it on.
2. Screw the cartridge or the atomizer onto the magnetic adapter, then place it into the cartridge opening
3. Turn on the device by squeezing the vape five times.
4. To toggle through the voltage settings, open the squeeze handle and press the button three times.
5. Squeeze the vape and inhale from the mouthpiece.

Voltage Settings: The Phantom has four voltage settings: 3.4V, 3.6V, 3.8V, and 4.0V.

Preheat Function: This conditions the oil or extracts to make it easier to vape, delivering more concentrated and flavorful hits. To use this function, you need to squeeze the button twice and stop it by pressing it once.

Performance & Vapor Quality

Oil Performance: I liked how my Phantom can fit my favorite oil cart and still protect it from breaking. The preheat function and the four voltage settings helped bring out my carts’ full flavor, whether it’s THC or CBD-based oil. In my opinion, the Phantom makes an excellent battery for any 510-threaded cartridges, which is the most vital attribute of the vape.

Wax Performance: The Dual Quartz Coil does a great job at heating the wax, though I advise that you should try the lowest two temp settings since the vapor could be too harsh for beginners to handle. However, even though it efficiently vapes the wax, the vapor it produces is less flavorful than some wax pens with the same coil, such as the Utillian 2 (Review).

Overall Vapor Quality: As for the pre-filled carts, the vapor quality depends on the quality of the oil you’re using. I’ve used Jetty CBD (Review), and it gave me a satisfying experience- I felt the CBD rush through my lungs and taste the full-spectrum of flavor notes in the oil.

However, when using the atomizer for wax concentrates, I think it lacks the purity and flavor I’ve been looking for. Yes, it produces decent for beginners, but intermediate users will likely get disappointed. If you mainly vape wax concentrates, I suggest you buy a separate vape pen for your wax. In that way, you’ll be able to experience the full potential of dabbing.

Battery Performance: The Phantom would last a long time since it packs a 1000mAh battery, which is kind of surprising for its size. It uses a micro-USB charger and will take around 2 hours to fully charge. This is a decent battery for pre-filled carts and wax since they don’t consume much power, unlike using dry herb vapes.                                                                        

Bottom Line

All in all, the HoneyStick Phantom is a portable vape that can vape both oil and wax. It’s durable, user-friendly, packs a long-lasting battery, and gets the job done for a fair price. The Phantom has a variety of voltage settings, plus the preheat function which helps with producing intense and flavorful vapor. 
If you mainly vape oils and casually vape dabs, this is a suitable travel-vape for you. However, if you prefer a stealthier look and calibrated temp settings for pre-filled carts, the KP Special K (Review) is currently the top choice this year.

Kit and Accessories

• HoneyStick BeeBox Pro
• USB charging cable

Compatibility: The BeeBox Pro is compatible with THC and CBD prefilled 510 cartridges.

Design and Features

Design

The BeeBox Pro is the latest in the line of conceal style batteries that have a switchblade-type function to fold the cartridge out of the way when it’s not being used. That’s all well and good but the Pro has another trick up its sleeve that makes it stand out from the rest of the pack. It has a slot on the top that allows it to use pods as well, making it a dual use battery. This kind of functionality is rare in 510 batteries and it gives the Pro an extra level of versatility that other batteries lack

Furthermore, the Pro has variable voltage selection, which allows you to select the precise voltage depending on which function that you’re using. The Pro also has a digital display so that you can check the selected voltage and the battery life. That’s a nice feature but the screen is very small and can be hard to read at times, but it does have a puff counter, which is a nice touch and it can switch between voltage and wattage settings. The way that you use the Pro differs depending on how you’re using it as well. If you’re using 510 cartridges, then it is button-activated, but if you’re using pods, they are draw-activated. That helps to differentiate the two functions, though I doubt anyone would have minded if they were both draw activated.

Using the BeeBox Pro with 510 cartridges feels great because they stick out further than they do with the standard conceal type batteries, though some batteries, like the Yocan Uni, allow you to adjust how far you want the cartridge to extend. Unlike most conceal batteries, the Pro can use any sized cartridge, but only if it is folded out, larger cartridges can’t be folded away because they won’t fit into the cartridge slot. 

You can have a 510 cartridge and a pod in the Pro at the same time, so you can switch back and forth as you wish, which makes the Pro even more versatile. It’s constructed from aircraft aluminum, so it feels pretty solid and durable as well. The switchblade design means that the Pro is very portable-friendly as well, as is the fact that you only need to worry about carrying one vape device instead of two.

Features

Clearly the ability to vape both 510 cartridges and pods is the standout feature of the BeeBox Pro. The foldable switchblade action and variable voltage are pretty cool too.

How To Use

With 510 Cartridges

1. Press the silver button near the top of the battery to flick out the cartridge holder.
2. Screw the cartridge into the holder.
3. Press the power button five times to turn on the device.
4. Use the plus and minus buttons to adjust the voltage/wattage.
5. Once heating is complete, hold down the power button while inhaling from the mouthpiece of the cartridge.

Performance and Vapor Quality

Performance

The BeeBox Pro heats up pretty quickly regardless of whether you’re using a cartridge or a pod. That makes it a reasonably convenient device for when you want to take a quick hit of either one.

Vapor Quality

The Pro does a good job of vaping cartridges thanks to the variable voltage settings. It shouldn’t be too hard to find the setting that you like since the voltage range allows you to customize your vaping experience for flavor, cloud production, or a combination of the two. The main problem anyone might have with the Pro is that it can be a little fussy to use. 

You can’t really take a draw with the Pro anytime you want because of the need to turn it on and then adjust the voltage setting. However, the cartridge functionality is pretty much the same as it is with some of the best 510 batteries so you won’t have any problems once you do start using it.

Battery Performance

The Pro has a 600 mAh battery, which is a little more powerful than most similar devices like the KandyPens C-Box. It can go for a few days of moderate vaping with either cartridges or pods. Recharge time is one to two hours, which isn’t too bad.

HoneyStick Plasma GQ Background

The HoneyStick Plasma GQ ($179 directly from Vape-Smart, use coupon code TVG10 for an 10% discount) is the new vape pen from the HoneyStick labs. It’s their latest vape pen, but is it their greatest vape pen? It’s certainly their most interesting, and a unique entry into that category in general.

It stands out from all the Best Vape Pens because the wax never comes into contact with the coil. In fact, this vape pen has a lot more in common with some of the Best E-nails than with vape pens. So will this change the vape pen game forever? Will it change your life forever? Yes and yes. Find out why by reading the rest of my HoneyStick Plasma GQ review.

HoneyStick Plasma GQ Kit

• USB charger

Key Features of the HoneyStick Plasma GQ

• Compatible w/ wax, shatter, crumble, oil
• Extracts never touch the heating coil

• Retails for $179 directly from Vape-Smart, use coupon code TVG10 to save 10%

HoneyStick Plasma GQ Design

You can tell that this vape pen is different just by looking at it, the glass section on the top third of the unit makes it look like a big oil vaporizer instead of a vape pen at first. That’s because the Plasma doesn’t look like any vape pen you’ve ever seen, there’s no visible coil and the bowl isn’t your usual ceramic dish.

Instead, you’ve got this quartz bowl that plugs directly into the battery and you can’t even see the heating element. Once you know how it works, you realize that it’s a pretty simple, intuitive design. Loading takes seconds and the whole thing is easy to disassemble and reassemble.

It’s pretty portable too, it easily fits into any pocket or purse, though you need to be careful about keeping the mouthpiece clean since it sticks out. It’s a handsome looking device, with an elegant, understated look that will allow you to vape in peace if you don’t want any attention.

How to Use the HoneyStick Plasma GQ

1. With the device turned off, remove the glass piece and mouthpiece from the rest of the Plasma.
2. Dab your extract into the quartz bowl and then replace the glass piece & mouthpiece.
3. Press the power button 5x to turn on the device, press the power button 3x to toggle between the two preset temperatures.
4. Hold down the power button for a few seconds to start heating, continue pressing the power button while inhaling from the mouthpiece.

Performance and Vapor Quality of the HoneyStick Plasma GQ

I was expecting great flavor because of the quartz bowl and its lack of contact with the heating element, and that’s exactly what I got. This is some of the purest flavor I have ever experienced with a vape pen, it really is close to an e-nail in terms of purity.

Even with high quality quartz-titanium coils, sometimes, a little of the titanium flavor comes through. That’s not the case here since the neutral quartz material keeps the flavor pure. Those super high temperatures might have some of you worried that the flavor might be too hot and harsh since there’s no water bubbler to cool down the vapor.

No need to worry, there’s an initial blast of heat that converts your extracts into vapor super fast, then the heat cools down and allows you to vape safely. As long as you don’t start vaping during that initial heat blast, you’ll be fine. That said, I would advise newcomers to start on the lower temperature setting first.

Since the bowl is made of quartz, it’s pretty easy to clean using the included alcohol tips. Once they’re used up, you can buy your own tips and dip them in isopropyl alcohol to keep the bowl and glass piece clean. The heater lasts a long time but will eventually need replacing, you can get replacements from HoneyStick for $19.95 apiece. The battery charges in a few hours but lasts for a day full of flavorful vaping.

Design and Features

Background: The BeeBox is a 510 battery that is compatible with pre-filled CBD or THC cartridges. It’s a pretty simple device that doesn’t have any voltage or temperature settings to mess around with. Combine that with the draw activation and you have a device that is very easy to use. As you would expect from such an uncomplicated device, it comes with an uncomplicated kit, just the BeeBox and its charging cable are included. But, aside from the cartridge, that’s really all you need.

General Design: The BeeBox looks a lot like your typical oil vape mod, the main difference being the cutout where the magnetic adapter for the 510 cartridges sits. That cutout makes it easy to monitor your oil level at a glance, but without compromising the structural integrity of the BeeBox. Plus it is big enough to hold the wider pre-filled cartridges. The micro USB port is located on the base of the battery, so you have to lay it on its side while it charges up. Finally, there is a small LED at the bottom of the BeeBox that lights up when you inhale.

Portability: The BeeBox is about two inches tall, so you won’t have any problems fitting it into your pocket. The mouthpieces of the pre-filled cartridges stick out when they’re connected to the battery, so you’ll have to carry them separately. That’s not too inconvenient since you can attach the cartridges to the BeeBox really quickly.

Build Quality: The BeeBox is made from brushed aluminum, so not only is it tough, it has a nice texture too. You can drop it, toss it, or step on it without worry. As long as there isn’t a cartridge attached to it of course.

Performance

The BeeBox is a pretty simple device that is meant for quick hits of whatever CBD or THC oil you’re packing, and that’s exactly what it does, no more and no less. I tested it with Medix vape oil and it worked great. There isn’t any temperature or voltage selection here, you just connect the cartridge to the battery and inhale, simple as that. 

Personally, I appreciate that, because sometimes simple is exactly what I want. The BeeBox isn’t for every occasion, but any time I want to take a quick fuss-free hit without fiddling with any calibrations, this battery is exactly what I need. The 380 mAh capacity means that it can last all day and recharge times are fairly quick. The BeeBox isn’t for long weekend vape sessions, but as a daily driver, it’s a great choice.

HoneyStick Bee Master 510 Battery Background

The HoneyStick Bee Master 510 Battery ($27.95 directly from Vape-Smart, use our exclusive Vape-Smart Coupon Code TVG10 to save 10%) is a 510 threaded battery for your pre-filled oil and CBD cartridges. “What, another one?” is probably what you’re thinking, and yes there are a lot of these on the market right now.

So what makes this one stand out? And is it worth getting the Bee Master instead of any other batteries or oil vaporizers? Those are probably the other questions you’re asking, so, keep reading my HoneyStick Bee Master 510 Battery review to get answers to those, and any other questions you may have about this battery.

What’s in the Kit

• HoneyStick Bee Master 510 Battery
• Carrying case
• USB charger
  
  

Notable Features

• Compatible w/ 510 threaded THC oil and CBD cartridges
• Very compact and portable
• Three voltage settings: 3.6V | 3.8V | 4.0V
• Convenient carrying case is included
• Retails for $27.95 directly from Vape-Smart, coupon code TVG10 provides an 10% discount

Design of the Bee Master

The Bee Master keeps things simple with its design as it looks similar to most of the other 510 batteries out there, the main difference is the outlandish finish that really stands out, for better or for worse. Amusingly, HoneyStick calls this paint job chameleon. I’m guessing it’s meant to be ironic, because the Bee Master isn’t going to be blending into any background, unless that background is tie-dyed.

So, if you’re reliving your hippie days, then the Bee Master will indeed blend in, but it’s going to stand out against more conservative clothing. If you don’t like this garish pattern, then that’s too bad because it’s not available in any other colors, which is pretty disappointing considering that other batteries like the KandyPens 350 mAh Batteryand KandyPens C-Box both offer multiple color choices. They also have nicer finishes and feel higher quality than the Bee Master, even though they are in the same price range.

Other than that, it’s business as usual with this battery as it has the standard single button control and highly portable design that is de rigueur for pen-style 510 batteries.

How to Use It

1. Screw the 510 threaded cartridge onto the battery.
2. Press the power button 5x to turn on the battery.
3. Press the power button 3x to cycle through the voltage settings.
4. Once the setting has been reached, inhale through the mouthpiece of the cartridge.
   

The Bee Master’s Performance

The Bee Master worked well with all of the oil and CBD cartridges I tried with it, including Gold Line CBD 510 Cartridges, and it vaped all of them at a pretty high level. It brings out the full flavor of each cartridge and the variable voltage selection is great for vapers of all experience levels.

The reason is that the lowest setting is great for beginners and the highest one is better for experienced vapers. None of the settings feel too uncomfortable or harsh, but newcomers should only use the low or middle settings to get started. The 350 mAh battery lasts all day long and it doesn’t take too long to charge.

HoneyStick Elf Background

The HoneyStick Elf ($38 directly from Vape-Smart, use coupon code TVG10 for an 10% discount) is the newest, smallest, and most convenient oil vaporizer from HoneyStick. We already know that they make some of the Best Oil Vaporizers around, so what makes this one so special?

You can read the rest of my HoneyStick Elf review for all the details but I can tell you right now that it’s their easiest to use vaporizer so far. The only way vaporizers could get any simpler to use is if they somehow become completely hands-free and you are able to control them with your mind. But that’s not where we are. Yet. As for where we actually are, check out the rest of my review.

HoneyStick Elf Kit

• HoneyStick Elf
• Refillable oil tank + magnetic adaptor
• Micro-USB charging cable

Key Features of the HoneyStick Elf

• Compatible w/ THC oil and CBD oil
• Draw activated, button-free design
• Instant on-demand heating
• Magnetic adapter fits any pre-filled 510 oil cartridge
• Retails directly from Vape-Smart for $38, coupon code TVG10 provides an 10% discount
  
  

HoneyStick Elf Design

The HoneyStick Elf is just three inches tall, small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. It’s tough too, it’s made from aluminum and can withstand a drop to the floor without breaking the tank inside it, not that I suggest you do that. The design doesn’t really stand out, it looks like an ordinary box mod, but it is available in some bold colors if you want to add some pizzazz.

Pizzazz or not, this tiny oil vaporizer is great for some sneaky vaping because of its small size. It’s also really easy to use because of the magnetic connector, just drop the cartridge in the compartment and you’re done. The magnetic connector is 510 threaded so it fits most pre-filled oil cartridges. The Elf’s battery life indicator and viewing window to monitor the oil level just add to its convenient user friendliness.

How to Use the HoneyStick Elf

1. Remove the mouthpiece from the tank, fill the tank with oil then replace the mouthpiece.
2. Attach the oil cartridge to the magnetic connector.
3. Place the cartridge + connector into the empty compartment.
4. Inhale from the mouthpiece.
   

If you’re using a pre-filled oil cartridge then you start at step 2 of course.

HoneyStick Elf Performance and Vapor Quality

The vapor quality of the Elf is pretty good for such a small device, it won’t be the best oil vape you ever use but it’s quite good. You get great flavor no matter what type of oil you use, you won’t get huge clouds but that’s a good thing since the Elf is meant to be discreet.

Draw resistance is low and the on-demand heat means you can take a quick, sneaky hit whenever you want. The convenience of the Elf comes at the cost of advanced features like temperature control but it’s a small price to pay for a portable that’s ready when you are.

HoneyStick MiniMax Pro Review

The HoneyStick MiniMax Pro ($40 directly from Vape-Smart, use coupon code TVG10 for an 10% discount) is a convenient key fob vaporizer, great for consuming on the go in a discreet way that doesn’t compromise on power.

HoneyStick MiniMax Pro Design

The HoneyStick MiniMax Pro is both discreet and functional. It is 3” long, 1.5” wide, and 0.8” tall. It’s small like a key fob, easy to use, and heats up in a flash. The most interesting part of the design is that the vape cartridge remains completely concealed until the user presses a small button on the top of the unit. The cartridge then springs out like a switch blade.

The HoneyStick MiniMax Pro is designed to look just like a car key fob, and even has a key ring to make it easy to attach and carry along your keys. This covert design makes it good for vaping on the go, whether you’re out with friends, at a music festival, or traveling. The MiniMax Pro’s compact design also makes it pretty durable, and you’ll enjoy peace of mind knowing you can just toss it right in your backpack or purse.

When it comes to charging your MiniMax Pro, the embedded USB port makes it a breeze. Simply plug in the included USB cord, or use your own to charge your vape. You’ll enjoy big rips from this small and compact vape, as well as good battery life so that you’re always prepared on the go.

How to Use the HoneyStick MiniMax Pro

1. First, unbox your HoneyStick MiniMax Pro and fully charge it using the included USB cord.
2. Press the silver button on the top of the unit to activate the “switch blade” functionality, which will expose the cartridge attachment.
3. Align the cartridge attachment with the threads of your full vape cartridge, and twist clockwise to screw it in. Be sure not to screw it in too tightly or you could damage the threads and create a loose connection.
4. To activate the pre-heating mode on your HoneyStick MiniMax Pro, click the large button on the back of the unit 5X.
5. Click 3 times to toggle the voltage settings.
6. Inhale, and enjoy once your setting has been reached.

HoneyStick MiniMax Pro Performance and Vapor Quality

When it comes to convenience and affordability, the HoneyStick MiniMax Pro brings you the best of both worlds. Toggling between low, medium and high settings gives you options so you can enjoy the right hit every time. Controlling the power also allows you to maintain the battery life you need to enjoy your vape for multiple sessions between recharging. For the functionality and portability of this vape, the battery life is on par with what you’d expect.

The HoneyStick MiniMax Pro’s vapor quality is also in line with that of a budget friendly, compact vape. With a full tank of oil, the low or medium settings will give you nice, strong pulls and decent clouds. If your vape tank is getting low, try the high setting to torch that last bit of oil so you don’t waste a drop.

Kit and Accessories

• HoneyStick HRB Turbo
• Two mouthpieces
• Cleaning brush
• Micro USB charging cable

Compatibility: The HoneyStick HRB Turbo is only compatible with dry herb.

Design and Features

Design

The HRB Turbo is a cool-looking device with a slim profile and a sleek design. That would make it a perfectly pocket-friendly device if not for one problem that we’ll get to later. The Turbo has an aluminum body with rubber grips on the sides that make it easy to hold. It has a single power button on the front below which lies the three temperature indicator lights. In a nice touch, the lights have the temperature numbers labeled by each light, though the writing for them is pretty small. Overall, the Turbo is a pretty good-looking device and one of the better-looking vapes that cost under $100. 

Looks aren’t everything of course, you want your vaporizer to be functional as well and it is here where the Turbo falters. It comes with two different mouthpieces, a standard rubber one and one that has space for a glass tip, though that tip isn’t included in the kit. The problem is that either mouthpiece sits too loosely on the Turbo, which means that it is very easy for them to fall off. This is more than just a minor inconvenience because the herb chamber is located below the mouthpiece. So if the mouthpiece slips of while the Turbo is in your pocket and there is herb in the chamber, you will be left with quite a mess to clean up. That’s a shame because everything else about the Turbo’s design is pretty solid.

Features

The sleek design, simple portability, and choice of two different mouthpieces would have been the standout features if not for how loosely the latter components sit on the rest of the HRB Turbo.

How To Use

1. Remove the mouthpiece to expose the herb chamber.
2. Fill the chamber with weed and then replace the mouthpiece.
3. Press the power button five times to turn on the device.
4. Press the power button three times to select one of the preset temperatures.
5. Once the device has finished heating, inhale from the mouthpiece.

Cleaning and Maintenance

The HRB Turbo is a very low maintenance vaporizer. You just need to pop off the mouthpiece and use the included cleaning brush to wipe away any residue and you’re done.

Performance and Vapor Quality

Performance

The Turbo heats up rather quickly for a device in this price range. It stays cool to the touch too, thanks to those insulating rubber grips on the side. The mouthpiece doesn’t get too hot either even though it is situated right over the herb chamber.

Vapor Quality

The vapor produced by the Turbo is good, not the best in this price range, but far from the worst. The temperature settings are all well-chosen and you’ll get some nice vapor from any one of them, though I prefer the lowest one. Draw resistance with the default rubber mouthpiece is pretty low, but I get the feeling that it would be even lower with the other mouthpiece and a glass tip. In fact, I feel that the vaping would be better in general with that combination, but unfortunately, I wasn’t able to try it because a glass tip wasn’t included in the kit.

Battery Performance

The Turbo can last for about an hour before it needs to be recharged. When it does need to be recharged, you can expect to wait for about three and a half hours until it’s finished.
