Hey there, guys. It's Max, here, from Australian Vaporizers, and today I'm going to be briefly
outlining a few points that could help you choose a portable vaporizer.
My first point to bring up, and it's probably my most important point really, is you need to be discerning
about whether you actually need a portable vaporizer. For starters, if you're going to
be using it every single day, and you're really going to be smashing the thing, I would definitely
suggest at least having a look at some of our home units. Some of our plug-in desktop
vapes. They tend to be a lot easier to use. They tend to be a bit more reliable as well.
They also offer better cooling capacity as well, so the vapor's going to be a little
bit more pleasant on your lungs.
Those are a couple of the reasons why you would potentially go for a home unit instead
of a portable vape, but if you need to be using this thing on the go most of the time,
if you need it be discrete, if you need it to heat up quickly, and if you're not going
to be using it terribly frequently then there are a lot of good options on the market. It's
just a matter of going through them, and it can be quite overwhelming sometimes because
there are so many options these days.
Generally speaking, there are few factors that you should be considering when you're
purchasing a portable. The first of which is vapor production. This is very important,
and obviously a high end unit like the MIGHTY by Storz and Bickel is going to produce a lot more
vapor for the amount of material you put in there then, say, a Magic Flight Launch Box,
which is a budget line vaporizer.
The next factor you should be looking at is east of maintenance. I cannot begin to describe
how important this one is. Simply put, if your unit is easy to clean it's going to last
a lot longer for you. Generally speaking, the smaller units like the original Pax are
going to be pretty tricky to maintain, whereas the larger like the Arizer Solo are going
to be a lot easier.
That brings me to the next factor, which is size. Honestly, I would recommend going for
as big of a unit as you can stand. Typically the smaller units are a little bit less reliable.
They have less battery life, and they have less cooling capacity as well, so they're
going to be harsher on your lungs.
Now, the next factor you should be looking at is battery life. Obviously this is fairly
important for most people. As I just mentioned it relates fairly directly to the size of
the unit. Generally speaking, the bigger units have better battery life, and the smaller,
more pocket friendly units will have less battery life. Just to give a couple of examples,
we've got the Magic Flight Launch Box here, which is a pocket friendly portable. This
one's going to give you around 1 to 3 uses per battery, per charge, and that's being
fairly generous. Whereas the bigger portables, like the Arizer Solo are going to give you
more like 4 to 6 sessions per charge, so that's around 60 minutes of continuous use.
Now, the next factor is durability. This may or may not be important to you depending on
your own situation. Generally speaking, the units that are smaller, lighter, and contain
less glass in their construction are going to be more durable. The Magic Flight Launch
Box with an acrylic stem is going to be the most durable vape that you can buy, but you're
going to trade off a little bit of vapor quality and battery life. The Vapium Summit is another
one. The Pax 2, the Crafty Vaporizer, all of these units are going to be a lot more
durable than, say, a DaVinci Ascent, which has glass in its construction.
My next point is temperature control. I'm going to try to keep this one as brief as
possible. Essentially, if you're somebody who wants to be monitoring the temperature
of your vaporizer really precisely, there are some units available that will let you
do so via an LCD screen. You can actually select in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. These
are going to be really accurate, whereas we have some units that have preset temperatures.
like the Arizer Solo, which just has a temperature scale from 1 to 7. There are units like the
Magic Flight Launch Box, the Firefly, or the Whisper, which is a butane powered vaporizer,
which don't really have any set methods of temperature control. These ones are just a
fixed temperature, and just be wary of that.
Just before I wrap things up, I just wanted to mention a few of my favourite portables.
Just 1 or 2 from each price range. That's starting with the budget option, which is
the Vapormax V5 Pro. Now, I just feel like this unit's got really good temperature control,
taste, and ease of maintenance, especially for the price. If you need to be using this
thing, say, more than 2 days a week, I would definitely recommend going up to the mid-range
options. My picks for the mid-range are the Arizer Solo and the Arizer Air. These 2 are
going to be much more reliable in the long run, especially with daily usage, and they're
going to give you better battery life, vapor production, and ease of maintenance. Finally
we have the MIGHTY vaporizer. This one is going to have the most precise temperature
control out of pretty much anything in the portable range. It's got great vapor production, great
ease of maintenance, and great battery life too. It's a really well-balanced unit. You
do pay for it, but in my opinion it's worth it.
The moral of the story here is, you get what you pay for. With portables more than anything.
If you follow these general guidelines that we've outlined today, and do your research,
you'll end up finding a unit that's right for you. Not just going for the best unit
on the market, but something that you're going to get the best use out of personally.
That's it for our portable buyers guide. I hope you guys have enjoyed it. Stay tuned
