Ceram-X is a Dab pen with a unique design created for O2Vape. It is shorter and wider than what we’ve used to and fits discreetly in the palm-of-your-hand. It uses a ceramic coil that produces smooth and tasty hits, but the vapor may be too soft for some users. Its simplicity may be an advantage for users looking for a basic pen, and a drawback for vapers who like to customize their experience.
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 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.
The DynaVap 2020 ‘M’ is an analog vaporizer that uses a butane lighter to heat it up. It’s like a metal joint only more convenient since you can reuse it indefinitely. It features an adjustable bowl that can hold herbs from 0.1g to 0.5g, and chiral air-ports to control the airflow. The DynaVap 2020 ‘M’ might seem primitive at first, but use it just once and you’ll discover that it’s one of the more forward-thinking vaporizers around, and it delivered big on performance and vapor quality.
Utillian is known to make high-quality budget vaporizers, and the 620 is no different.

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.
Bloom Farms only use natural flavors and extracts in their CBD carts. There are currently four available flavors (Natural, Sequoia Mint, Stone Fruit & Blackberry) that have at least 60% cannabinoids which is enough to sustain your everyday needs. They also have tinctures that have higher CBD content and specifically made for heavy CBD users. Overall, Bloom Farms Carts & Tinctures are appealing for both beginners and experienced users.
The Vane is a simple and small vaporizer that’s suitable for discreet vaping. It has precise temp control and the vapor it produces is good but the flavor is nowhere near to high-end vapes. If you’re looking for an entry-level vape, the Vane is one of the few options to start vaping herbs. However, if you’re an experienced user that is looking for a vaporizer with greater longevity and better vapor production, the Vane is not for you.

It’s also extremely easy to use, and has a battery that can last for weeks at a time. The Phenopen is easily one of the best CBD delivery systems I ever tested.
The SLX was already the best grinder around, and the V2.5 (Released early 2020) makes it even better. It retains all the positives of the original while improving the build quality. It has a smooth grinding action that does not require any effort, it grinds the herbs to a perfectly fluffy consistency, and it never needs to be cleaned. So, regardless of which kind of vaporizer you have, the SLX will be the perfect companion for it.
The DaVinci IQ 2 is a high-end vaporizer that produces tasty vapor in a convenient, portable package. It uses zirconium elements that keep the vapor cool even though the device itself can run hot. It also comes with a nice array of accessories that allow you to choose how you want to vape. If you want a high quality portable weed vaporizer, then the DaVinci IQ 2 is one of the best options available.
The Atomic-9 is an affordable small dry herb vaporizer that offers cool features such as a built-in shovel, magnetic mouthpiece, cooling chamber, and runs on a hybrid heating system.

The Dr Dabber cartridge has four flavors you can choose: Regular, Citrus, Fresh, & Robust. Each cartridge has an adjustable airflow to set your draw resistance to your likings and has a glass mouth tip that keeps the flavor pure. The battery, on the other hand, has preset temperatures and sesh mode which beginners may find useful. Overall, the cartridges and the batteries are nicely designed products which makes the combo package an appealing choice for beginners.
Utillian 2 is an affordable and straightforward wax pen. It has a straw-like glass mouth tip that keeps the vapor cool, especially in lower settings. The Dual Quartz coil works great for small amounts and produces mild and soft vapors that are suitable for first-time users. However, caution is needed since the mouth tip is gentle and can easily break. The 2 is a good “first vape” but keep in mind that you’d probably grow out of it quickly and look for something more advanced.
At The Vape Guide, our goal is to have our visitors be the most well-informed and up-to-date vapers—or soon to be vapers—anywhere. We do that by giving you detailed breakdowns of the different kinds of vaporizers, tips, tricks, and advice that vapers will find useful, and by providing the most in-depth vaporizer reviews on the internet.
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.
