$200 - $300

Desktop and Portable Vaporizers under $300

This price range is home to higher end portable vaporizers and mid-priced desktop vapes. Generally speaking, a vaporizer’s price matches its quality. Expect some of the best portable vapes, as well as a few desktop vaporizers that are exceptional albeit not the cream of the crop. This is the ideal price bracket for desktop enthusiasts who crave control over their vapor production but aren’t ready to break the bank with a Volcano or Herbalizer quite yet.

Find a Portable Vaporizer

Portable vaporizers at this level are feature-rich, durable, and smartly design for discretion. They feature advanced heating systems that vaporize dry herb more thoroughly than cheap vaporizers. Most portable vaporizers are ideal for vaping on-the-go. Take for example, the compact and ergonomic Vapir Prima, which can be concealed in your palm and lasts about 5 bowls on a full charge.

Other portable vapes focus on performance over discretion. The SideKick by 7th Flooris large for a portable vaporizer, but that bigger build leaves more space for an advanced heating system and an innovative spiral-shaped vapor path that’s removable so you chill it in the fridge.

Most of the best portable vaporizers exist in the $200 to $300 range. By “best,” we mean the most adherent to the three pillars of vaporization: Performance, convenience, and build quality.

Affordable Desktop Vaporizers

Desktop vaporizers can get pretty expensive. But relatively affordable desktop vapes are available. The Herbal Aire H3 boasts triple functionality (whip-style, balloon-bag, and direct inhalation through a straw) and a true convection heating system that delivers vapor free of the harmful by-products of combustion. For aficionados of pure vapor, the Vapir Rise features a forced-air HEPA filtration system that purifies air as it’s pulled into the vaporizer, and precision temperature that pinpoints specific temperatures for unlocking terpenes and cannabinoids.

Desktop vaporizers are meant for home use, with plug-in power sources giving them strength to achieve incredibly pure and flavorful vapor.
