To use the Budsy, fill with 420 ml of water and light up with any non-torch lighter.
DynaVap’s line of Thermal Extraction Devices (TEDs) is definitely different from the usual vaporizer – especially since you need to add a torch to the mix. There might be a slight learning curve here but once you get the hang of it, the DynaVap M is great for microdosing and delivers good quality vapor that’s heavy on flavor. It definitely feels a lot like an ode to the good old’ joint and it’s definitely recommended if you’re still transitioning from that to vaping.
The AirVape Legacy truly wins in the design department with advanced features such as wireless charging and on-demand functionality. This all-in-one premium vape works pretty well with both dry herb and concentrate. However, the many moving parts mean that caring for it might require extra attention.

I was impressed by the Linx Gaia because I don’t often see this kind of style, vapor quality, and build quality at this price range. In fact, the Gaia is the first vaporizer with a Quartz heating oven and features a hybrid heating method, which results in a more refined and flavorful vapor. Other notable features are a 2200mAh battery, glass mouthpiece, and precise temperature control for different vaping profiles. All in all, this is a decent dry herb vape and still a viable vape in 2021.
