The right vaporizer comes down to what you're vaping: a dry-herb vape heats ground herb with no combustion, while a concentrate (wax) pen vaporizes extracts at higher temperatures. Below you'll find portable, desktop and pen-style vaporizers for both, shipping fast from the US.

How to choose a vaporizer
Four questions point you to the right device:
Material
Dry herb vapes ground botanicals. Concentrate pens handle wax and extracts. Some do both.
Heating
Conduction heats fast and is simple; convection heats more evenly for better flavor. Hybrids aim for both.
Portability
Pocket pens and portables for on the go; desktop units for the smoothest, most powerful sessions at home.
Temperature
Preset devices are grab-and-go; variable-temp lets you dial in flavor versus vapor density.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a dry herb vaporizer and a wax pen?
A dry herb vaporizer heats ground botanical material with hot air and no flame; a wax pen vaporizes concentrated extracts on a coil or quartz atomizer at higher temperatures.
Is vaping smoother than smoking?
Generally yes — vaporizers heat material below combustion, so there's no smoke and the vapor is cooler and less harsh on the throat.
Conduction versus convection — which is better?
Convection heats more evenly and preserves flavor; conduction is simpler, cheaper and heats faster. Many newer devices use a hybrid of both.
How do I clean a vaporizer?
Brush out the chamber after sessions and wipe contacts with an isopropyl-dampened cotton swab. For wax atomizers, gently clean the coil area once cool. Avoid soaking electronics.
Portable or desktop — which should I get?
Choose portable for convenience and travel; choose desktop for the most vapor, the smoothest draw and group sessions at home.
