Dry herb vaporizers or flower vapes are different from vape pens. They directly vape the herbs, instead of extracts and concentrates from the plant, and bring you as close as possible to the source - your herbs! We test a lot of herb vapes at Planet of the Vapes, to bring you the very best the industry has to offer. The flower vapes we have for sale will introduce you to incredible herbal flavors, without the smoke!
What is a dry herb vaporizer?
Unlike herb burns that turn your flow into smoke, dry herb vaporizers use hot air, with either conduction heating (PAX 2 or PAX 3 vaporizer) or convection heating (Firefly 2+ vaporizer), to boil off the goodies and produce vapor. You load vaporizers with loose leaf material like a pipe, so you’re in control of what you vaporize. It’s like smoking without the smoke. Herbal vaporizers come in many different shapes and sizes, but they all consist of three main, high-quality components: the heating element/chamber, the vapor path/mouthpiece, and the battery. They differ from concentrate pens, which only vaporize dry concentrates, but still provide a convenient and portable method for consuming dry herbs.
Desktop dry herb vaporizers
It started with desktop vaporizers that plug into a wall, come with a vast temperature range, and have unlimited power. With all that juice, and plenty of room to operate, desktops are the way to go for serious vaporists that don’t want to stress battery life, and people who mostly vaporize at home. Some desktop vaporizers let you take hits with a whip, like a hookah. Others blow up bags. Some, like the Extreme Q and Volcano Hybrid, do both! All of them have bigger bowls for larger doses than their portable counterparts, superior airflow, and flexible heat settings. The Plenty vaporizer has a handle, so you can pass it around the couch for a relaxing vaping experience.
Portable dry herb vaporizers
What’s better than a desktop vape? How about a portable dry herb vaporizer that fits in your pocket! Although they aren’t as powerful or potent, portable vapes are liberating with their convenient portability and rugged heating systems. Instead of smoking, we can take our vapor with us anywhere, whether it’s to our friends house or on the open trail.
The portable vaporizer landscape has a lot of choices to sift through, as manufacturers tweak feature sets and power sources to meet different budgets and different styles of herb vaping. Price points range from $50 to $500, and offer features like digital preset or precision temperature control, removable/rechargeable batteries, smartphone app functionality, special heating profiles, and a whole lot more. Spend some time deciding which features are most important to you for how you vape. If you feel lost in it all, start with something sensible, like the POTV ONE. It's discreet, affordable, and potent enough to keep you satisfied for a long time.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How does a dry herb vaporizer pen work?
Dry herb vape pens heat up your herbs to a specific temperature that is hot enough to produce visible vapor, but cool enough to avoid combustion. They are different from dry concentrate vapes that utilize an atomizer. Load the heating chamber with ground herbs (we recommend a medium to medium-fine grinder), select a temperature setting, and enjoy!
Are dry herb vapes good?
Compared to smoking, dry herb vaporizers are cleaner, more efficient, and provide a more effective vaping experience. The vapor quality is less harmful than smoke, but much more potent, and doesn’t pollute your room or clothes with a lasting stench. We may be a little biased, but compared to more traditional methods of consumption, vaporization is the way to go. For example, convection vaporizers minimize direct contact with your herbs, and therefore are the go to option to unlock the vast spectrum of herbal flavors your herbs have to offer.
