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.
