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.
We often emphasize quality, taste, and efficiency with our dry herb vaporizers, but what about just raw cloud production? It's not only fun to exhale large clouds of vapor, but it can also help users gauge how much they've consumed.
Visible clouds are also a good way to gauge how well your vaporizer is performing. If your exhales are thin and wispy, it could be a sign that your vape is underprofming and could use a few tweaks.
Regardless, these vaporizers excel at straight cloud production. Our choices here maintain the overall quality that we look for in a session, but do so with a cloudy finish every time. If you want the biggest vape clouds, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s get into it with the best vapes for cloud chasers.
Best vapes for clouds: How we test
It’s pretty simple. We run each vaporizer through a session and, since we’re focused on clouds here, we set the temperature high. At least 390°F/198°C and above (or it’s highest preset temperature) for the best results. Are exhales greeted with a billowing cloud of vapor, or are they thin and wispy? Does it die down after a hit or is it consistent throughout the session? Bonus points if it keeps up with a full inhale.
With that being said, every vape on this list passed with flying colors and cloudy exhales.
