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 Yocan Flame is a feature-packed vaporizer, with several inclusions in its kit at a very affordable price. While it is primarily a wax vaporizer and the nectar collector feature is secondary – this is one of the few devices on the market that serve this dual purpose. It’s a great device to have if you want something that has water filtration – without breaking the bank.
The Yocan Torch and Torch XL are two very reliable devices that are available at a good price. While it functions solely as an eNail, it doesn’t compromise on features, vapor quality, and performance. Between the two, the Torch XL is more vapor density oriented, while the Torch is best for users who are looking for a first eNail.
The Apollo is a well-made, sturdy wax vaporizer/ eNail hybrid that is the best of both worlds. The included glass bubbler is uniquely designed although not the most discreet. The device features smart heating technology, several pre-set heat modes, and Linx’s signature quartz atomizer, this device allows you to really taste and experience your material – without wasting it.
The Session features a smart design that makes it an all-in-one extract vaporizer. It is a Hybrid vape that can be used as an eNail with existing Rigs or as a “standalone” Wax Vape. The vapor quality is good, but it is probably not the main reason to buy this vape. The main reason will be its dual-function, specifically its ability to replace an old school nail and torch setup with an all-electric eNail that can work with any traditional dab rigs.
The Boost EVO is one of the first next-gen eRig that was released for 2021. All of the components were magnetically connected, making it easy to assemble or clean the device than most standard eRigs. It features an angled mouthpiece, which makes it comfortable to inhale the vapor. It also features a fast-heating quartz bowl with an integrated sensor that prevents the atomizer from overheating. All in all, this is a simple yet powerful dab rig that could be the crowd’s favorite as other Dr. Dabber’s premium vapes.
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. The Legacy is a vape that certainly delivers, while also being somewhat of eye-candy.
The Crystal 2 is a high-end, durable Dab Pen. The “Coilless” quartz bowl and the glass mouthpiece produce flavorful vapor that remains pure and tasty throughout the entire session. It also has adjustable airflow and a large (1200mAh) battery that outlasts “thinner” pens. The Crystal is simple enough for beginners and powerful enough for advanced users, making it the best wax pen of 2021.
If you are still using an old school rig and torch, ditch it. The Peak Pro is the latest reason to do so. At $400, the Peak Pro one of the more expensive eRigs out there, but it is also one of the best. The real-time temp control keeps a precise temp at the bowl, a game-changer in terms of efficiency and vapor quality. The Pro can be used as a point-and-shoot device by a total beginner, but it’s also powerful and smart enough to satisfy experienced users.
The Breezy is a sleek oil vape that’s compatible with any 510-threaded CBD/THC carts. It has a fast heat time and features 4 voltage settings to customize your vaping profile. It has two magnetic adapters that allow the device to hold either 0.5g or 1g oil carts. Overall, the Breezy is a decent conceal-type oil vape that provides great value for its price.
The Weezy is an entry-level vaporizer that has a simple and intuitive design. It has three preset temperatures and features a 15 seconds sesh mode so that you won’t need to hold down the power button as you vape. It also features a button on its side that pops out the ceramic atomizer for easier loading and cleaning. Finally, it has a 700 mAh battery that could last a couple of days of casual vaping. All in all, this is an appealing choice for beginners or vapers who are looking for a back-up or travel vape.
The Deezy by Kind Pen is an entry-level vape that performs well and produces good quality vapor for its price. It features a glass mouthpiece, decent bowl capacity, and precise temp control in a simple and pocket-friendly package. It’s not as strong as mid-tier vapes but it works fine for beginners who are looking for an inexpensive way to start vaping.
Dr. Dabber Stella is a sleek-looking vape that produces stellar vapor flavor. It features a Temperature Coefficient Resistance which prevents the wax from getting burned. Also, the ‘floating coil’ design helped with dispersing the heat properly. For a $100 vape, this is suitable for both newcomers and experienced vapers who prefer vapor flavor above anything else.
Yocan Vane has a 380 mAh battery with Dual Quartz Coil and features a pre-heat function. It’s a sleek and straightforward vape that produces vapor that’s suitable for beginners. It may be an appealing choice, especially for those who have a low budget or as a ‘travel vape’. But, if you are looking for a primary wax pen, I suggest you invest a little more $ and go for a longer-lasting, better quality vape.
The Dive Mini features a dual functionality which means that aside from using it as a normal vape pen, you can use the concentrate straw to dab directly onto your wax. It also comes with an additional mouthpiece with a water bubbler which works great on both modes since it makes the vapor less harsh and bearable for first-timers. It produces above-average vapor and flavor but not comparable to high-end vapes. Even so, for a $45 vape, this is a suitable choice for beginners and intermediate users.
The Utillian 722 offers excellent value with high performance to price ratio. It uses convection heating and an isolated airpath to achieve pure and flavorful vapor. With a simple one-button interface, the 722 is recommended for beginners looking for a value-driven vape that does not compromise vapor quality.
The Dash is a small and stealthy vape that offers features typically seen only in more expensive vapes such as- helix insert that cools down the vapor, Aluminum shell, glass-lined oven, and a simple one-button interface. The Dash is appealing to beginners looking for a quick entry into the world of vaping dry herbs.
Source is known to make products for advanced users that know exactly what they want from a vape, and the Versa is no different. It has a powerful battery, precise temp control, and XL coils that can hold a large amount of extract. It has a familiar eRig shape, yet it is more versatile from most. But is it better? We’ll let you know once we get our review unit and test it.
The Vive is a dual functionality vape, compatible with wax or oil carts. It’s a sleek and discreet device, with a magnetic cover and three temp levels. Source has been quiet for the last couple of years with no new releases. Is this their comeback? We’ll let you know as soon as we get our review unit.
The Yocan X has a 500 mAh battery and features a Dual Quartz Coil like most of the Yocan vaporizers I’ve tested. It has a balance of vapor quality and cloud production that is unusual for an inexpensive vaporizer. This is an appealing choice for beginners who want to try vaping concentrates. However, if you’re an experienced vaper who expects stellar vapor quality, there are some better options for you.
The G Pen Roam is a portable concentrate vaporizer that features a unique self-contained water filtration tube that results in cool & pure vapor. This is an unusual feature in any portable vaporizer but is especially interesting in a wax vape. A lot of thought and creativity went into designing and engineering this vape. The Roam is a dab rig packed into a vape that can fit in your palm.
Utillian is known to make high-quality budget vaporizers, and the 620 is no different. It improves upon a familiar design and introduces an improved “Helix” convection heating element that produces tasty vapor. The Utillian is very simple to operate and is a great choice for beginners looking for a straightforward budget dry herb vaporizer.
Select CBD is a disposable CBD pen, with .5g oil, and 250mg of CBD. It comes fully charged and ready to go, an excellent solution for travel, or if you don’t want to deal with charging batteries and connecting cartridges. It delivers one to two milligrams of CBD per three-second puff, and it is draw activated, so there no buttons to press.
The Era Pro uses PaxSmart pods that automatically set the recommended temperature and dosage settings on the given flavor. It has a Pod ID feature that gives you all the necessary information (CBD/THC content, flavor profile, etc.) which can be found by using the smartphone app. The smartphone app allows users to change the temperature and dosage of how they want it to be. It has a large variety of flavors since the Era Pro is backward compatible with the older pods of Pax.

Since the vaporizer industry is constantly growing, it seems like a new vaporizer is released every week. That can make it hard for even seasoned vapers to keep up, which is why you have us. We help you to choose the right vaporizer for you by focusing on the specific aspects that are important to vapers regardless of whether they are beginners or veterans. Here is what we take into account when we rate each product:
As you can tell by the criteria listed above, our rating method is a mix of the objective and the subjective. When it comes to the subjective opinions, you can trust our team because they have been into vaping almost as long as vaporizers have been around. We have used and tested dozens of vaporizers in all available categories, so our experience is unparalleled.
After we rigorously test each device, we express our opinion in an easy to understand five point number system. That way you can get an idea of the vaporizer’s quality at a glance, but if you want a more detailed opinion, you can read the whole review.
When ranking vaporizers, we are looking for a high price/ performance ratio. Vapes can be ranked higher or lower, depending on their performance vs other vapes in the price range.
No matter which vaporizer you decide to buy, make sure that you get it from an authorized retailer. That is the best way to make sure that the vaporizer you purchase is authentic and not counterfeit. Counterfeit vapes can be dangerous so you want to take all possible precautions to avoid them. All of the retailers listed on our site are authorized so you can be sure that their inventory is always legit.
