Vaporizers have become the ubiquitous gadget for the modern-day cannabis enthusiast. What is vaporization? Simply, it is a method of activating raw plant matter without combustion. In other words, get high without fire. You inhale vapor, not smoke.

For most cannabis enthusiasts – especially beginners – vaporizers allow for a milder, easier-to-control high compared to smoking. Added bonus: No smoke!

Vaporizers have been around for decades, but the trend has take off in the last decade or so. As the benefits of vaporization have become known, the variety of devices has been increasing.

Which vaporizer fits into your lifestyle? Do you want to vape on the go or in the comfort of your home? Do you want to buy flower (herb) or concentrate (oil)? Let's review the options:

Portable Or stationary?

It seems you can't walk down the street these days without seeing someone using the ubiquitous vape pen. These handy, low-cost devices are ideal for the on-the-go commuter or those wanting a few puffs throughout the day. Vape pens contain a concentrated oil that heats up just enough to create a thin, wispy vapor.

If you prefer using dried herb (flower), consider vaping devices such as the Firefly 2 or the Pax a try. These units are not as easy to use as the vape pens, and the price may shock those on a tight budget. But for some enthusiasts, there is nothing better than vaping herb rather than oil.

If you plan on vaping primarily at home, consider buying a pricier stationary unit. Brands such as the Volcano, VapeXhale Cloud EVO and the Herblizer are great plug-in vaporizers for home use, but are not portable enough for on-the-go vaping.

I plopped down the money for an Herbalizer several years ago in the hope that Florida would get their medical act together then. 3 years in and it's still in the box waiting for my meds. Looks like it's going to be a few more months to go.

Here's to happy vaping in my dreams!

Currently use a pax 2, I like it but I feel it could be a lot better. Does anyone have experience with a top shelf portable unit for just concentrates?
 
Have to say I'm loving my firefly 2 and the fact there is no ashtray taste nor can you smell anything out of the ordinary.
