What is a dry herb vaporizer?
A dry herb vaporizer heats dried herbs just enough to release their aromas as vapour, without burning them. There is no smoke and no ash. The taste is cleaner, the smell is weaker, and your herbs go further.
Dry herb vaporizers come in two styles. Portable vaporizers are made to take with you. Most run on a battery; the Tempest 2 Slim is heated with an external heater instead. Desktop vaporizers plug into the mains and fill a balloon or deliver vapour through a tube. A portable is the easiest start for most people.
Best dry herb vaporizers: our picks
I use a dry herb vaporizer every day myself, at home and on the golf course. Running the shop, I see which models customers love, which ones come back, and which still work years later. These are the dry herb vaporizers I'd recommend to a friend.
I update these picks every 3 months.

How to choose a dry herb vaporizer
Six things decide how well a dry herb vaporizer fits you. Here is what to compare, and how our picks differ.
Heating method
- Convection: hot air through the herbs for a very clean taste, as in the Tinymight 2 and XMax V4 Pro.
- Conduction: heats the chamber wall, so you stir once mid-session, like the XMax Starry V4.
- Hybrid: both at once. The Venty and Volcano Hybrid work this way.
Temperature control
- Most flavour: around 170 to 185 °C.
- More vapour: 200 to 210 °C.
- Look for: precise control in small steps.
Heat-up time
- Under 15 seconds: ready almost straight away, good for a quick draw, like the Tinymight 2 or Frolic.
- 15 to 40 seconds: the Venty and Volcano Hybrid take about as long as it takes to grind your herbs.
- A few minutes: made for longer sessions at home, so you switch it on first, as with the Arizer XQ2.
Battery and sessions
- Long days out: a bigger battery means fewer charges; the Venty gives 10 to 14 sessions and the Arizer Solo 3 over 3 hours.
- Swappable battery: the Tinymight 2 and Frolic let you carry a spare, and a fresh cell can add years to the vaporizer.
- No charging at all: the Tempest 2 Slim is heated on an induction heater or with a torch.
Chamber size and dosing capsules
- One person: a small chamber is plenty.
- Longer sessions or sharing: a larger chamber.
- Dosing capsules: fill them in advance, which keeps things tidy on the go.
Cleaning and care
Glass and stainless steel parts are quick to clean. A vaporizer that comes apart easily keeps tasting fresh for months.
The Frolic: a 120 W hybrid heater, ready in 5 seconds.
Five habits that get more from a dry herb vaporizer
- Grind medium-fine: so the herbs vaporise evenly.
- Fill loosely: never pack the chamber tight.
- Wait for the ready signal: then draw slowly and steadily.
- Stop when the herbs are brown: and little vapour is left.
- Brush the chamber after each session: isopropyl alcohol on the mouthpiece about once a week.
