We are constantly looking for new and exciting products to add to our list of top choices. This page will continue to update and evolve as we discover and test more vaporizers.
Battery performance can make or break your vaping experience if you’re not using a desktop vaporizer. It can affect your heat-up time, number of sessions, and the length of those sessions.
Each vape on this list has been tested for both its battery capacity and performance and is guaranteed to deliver enough power for most users out there. Let’s jump into it and take a look at the best portable dry herb vaporizers for excellent battery life.
Vaporizers with the Longest Battery Life: How we test
One of the first things we test when we receive a new portable dry herb vaporizer is its battery life. This plays a huge role in the overall vaping experience so it’s important to get all the details. To get the most consistent results, we keep it at a set mid to high range temperature to mimic a traditional vaporizing session, and then we use it like we normally would and run enough sessions through it until the battery hits zero. We count how many sessions we get and how long it takes to heat up to see exactly when and how the battery affects the session throughout.
A quick summary

Custom session settings, a pure glass vapor path and glass stem, and comfortable airflow from its stainless steel heating chamber reinforce Arizer’s signature quality with the Air Max.

Tafee Bowle Series 2: 15 sessions per charge
The Tafee Bowle Series 2 entered the scene and became a best-in-class performer with its revamped 5000mAh battery that guarantees at least 15 sessions per charge. This is serious performance for a portable vape and is easily the strongest battery of any convection vaporizer. Convection vapes can be a bit finicky, so your mileage will vary. You could get more or less. And to extend the battery’s lifespan, Tafee built in smart charge limits to keep the battery from hitting full or empty.
Not only does the Tafee Bowle last long, but it also serves up drinks and world-class vaping performance! The Bowle Series 2 delivers some of the strongest, most flavorful convection vapor on the market and comes with a detachable 300 mL cup to enjoy with some refreshing water, your morning tea, or evening libation. It’s expensive, though, so be ready to drop some big bucks.
| Pros 👍 | Cons 👎 |
| 12 sessions per charge |
Top-shelf price tag |
| World class convection vapor |
Cup limits portability |
| Exceptional flavor |

Venty: 12 sessions per charge
The Venty dry herb vaporizer from Storz & Bickel enters with a very respectable showing of 12 sessions per charge. On top of that, controls are simple, heat up is fast at 20 seconds, and vapor is cool yet strong and potent. Charge anywhere with universal USB-C charging and a 45-minute charge time with the Supercharger.
Choose an exact temperature with precise temperature control and then adjust the airflow to your liking. Close the airflow down for soft, relaxing draws, or open it up for the biggest hits. The Venty comes with a hefty price tag, but you get the best battery performance out of the Storz & Bickel portable lineup.
| Pros 👍 | Cons 👎 |
| 12 sessions per charge | Price. It’s expensive! |
| Effortless hits with adjustable airflow | Size. It’s big! |
| Easy to use |
XMAX V3 Pro: 12 sessions per charge
The XMAX V3 Pro packs serious battery performance into a slim, budget-friendly package. Its removable 18650 battery powers up to 12 full bowls per charge in Session mode, and around 10 in On-demand mode. That’s top-tier efficiency in a true convection vape, and it goes toe-to-toe with units twice the price. On-demand mode draws more power, but gives you precise control over every hit. USB-C charging keeps things convenient, and swappable batteries mean you’ll never get caught without juice.
Battery life alone makes the V3 Pro a standout, but it doesn’t stop there. You also get strong, flavorful convection vapor and the flexibility to switch between full sessions and quick hits. Its small footprint fits anywhere, and the included accessory attachment opens the door to glass pieces for an even smoother experience. At just $109, the XMAX V3 Pro delivers big performance in a compact, no-nonsense package.
| Pros 👍 | Cons 👎 |
| 12 session per charge & replaceable battery | Not ideal for short sippers |
| Sessions & On-demand modes | Small bowl won't satisfy large appetites |
| Tasty convection vapor |

Honorable mentions
Battery capacity is an afterthought with our lineup of torch-powered portable vaporizers. Pick up one of these vapes, top off your torch lighter with butane, and blow clouds from dawn to dusk.
DynaVap vaporizers
DynaVap’s lineup of discreet, torch-powered portable vaporizers is practically indestructible, produces thick, quality vapor, and are some of the smallest vaporizers we carry. Plus, they never have to be charged!
The bowl is small and great for microdosing, but the results are massive from such a small size, with true, on-demand vapor quality in seconds. Heat the tip, wait for the click, and enjoy one-hitter style sessions anywhere at any time.
| Pros 👍 | Cons 👎 |
| No batteries to charge | Open flame |
| Ultra pocketable | Slight learning curve |
| Thick clouds of vapor |

Camouflet Convector vaporizers
The Camouflet Convector and Convector XL are torch-powered vaporizers that take the same approach as the DynaVaps, but with full convection heating and no 'click'. Fill the oven, heat the end with a torch lighter for about 15 seconds or less, and enjoy dense, flavorful vapor with zero electronics.
| Pros 👍 | Cons 👎 |
| No batteries to charge | Open flame |
| Full convection heating | No indicator that tells you it's ready to vape |
| XL option for larger rips |
Vapman Click & Lotus
The Vapman Click and Lotus vaporizers are handcrafted vaporizers that also ditch the batteries for the power of fire. The Vapman Click works similarly to the DynaVap vaporizers, where you heat it and wait for the audible ‘click’ to start vaping. It’s small, hits hard, and needs no plugs or chargers.
The Lotus is the full-convection brother that utilizes a 14mm bowl to connect to a glass pipe or a compatible 14mm glass bubbler. Pack it, heat the top for three seconds, and then start your draw as you continue to heat. Feel it out from there and dial in your perfect hit!
| Pros 👍 | Cons 👎 |
| No batteries to charge | Open flame |
| Some of the biggest hits from a vape | Slight learning curve |
| Huge bowl |

Best vapes for battery life: FAQs
Q: What is the best vape battery?
A: If your vape device has replaceable batteries, you can upgrade the power anytime you want. The best vape battery is the one that suits your specific needs and comes with great battery life. If you need a battery to power your higher temperature sessions with a fast heat-up time, look for one with higher amps. If you vape at lower temperatures and want a longer-lasting battery, get a battery with a higher mAh rating.
Check out our full lineup of batteries and chargers.
Q: How do I fix my vape battery not charging?
A: If your battery won’t charge, it might be time for a replacement, or you may have a faulty charger. Swap in another external battery to make sure your charger works properly. If you bought your battery or charger from us, reach out to us at hello@planetofthevapes.com, and we’ll help you out.
Q: Will any 18650 battery work with my vape?
A: All 18650 batteries that we carry will work with our 18650-powered vaporizer. Any of them will work, but as we mentioned before, what’s important is the amperage and mAh rating. Grab one that suits you and your specific needs. If you’re unsure, reach out to us and we’ll point you in the right direction.
There are only a few dry herb portable vaporizers that require button-top 18650 batteries. They are rare, and you most likely don’t have one. All of the batteries on Planet of the Vapes are flat-top batteries.
Q: How long can a vape battery last?
A: A vape battery should last between 6 and 12 months depending on your usage. Batteries are pretty consistent in their overall life across the board but there’s always that one exception. If your battery starts to dwindle in performance before this timeframe, it may be time for a replacement.
Q: Can you use rechargeable vapes forever?
A: Vaping devices only last as long as their battery. Nothing lasts forever, but you can take a few steps to get the most out of your vape battery.
Q: How can I make my vape battery last longer?
A: Here are a few ways to maximize your battery’s lifespan and guarantee longer battery life:
- Keep your battery/vape in a cool, dry place when it’s not in use to prevent any degradation.
- If you have a session vape, turn it off when you’re not using it.
- Don’t keep your battery/vape on the charger all the time. This can do more damage than good.
- Fully charge your separate batteries before you store them away. If not, charging it to full after a while puts a lot of stress on it.
