Choosing the best vaporizer can at times feel like wading through an ocean. There are multiple varieties, prices, and capabilities, but unless you are a tech expert, multiple controls and functions can be overwhelming.

So why buy a weed vaporizer instead of just smoking cannabis the old-fashioned way? Vaping is likely healthier, especially for the lungs. Additionally, vapes are discreet, create less odour, and allow consumers to optimize the flavour and potency of their weed.

A portable vaporizer is an investment, and the right one can serve you for years to come. In this list, we’ve curated vapes for concentrates or dried flower, as well as devices that can do both. They are all reusable, rechargeable, and produce vapour (not smoke) via combustion-less technology.

The lithium-ion battery operates for approximately 40 hours off each two-hour charge. There are three variable voltage settings and a 15-second continuous heat option. You can refill the chamber with your extract of choice or use the battery with a 510-thread vape cartridge.
