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.

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 its 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’s a few ways to maximize your battery’s lifespan and gaurantee 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.
