If you’re in the market for a dry herb vape pen, you may be feeling a little unsure where to start. So, we’re taking a look at our top picks for the best dry herb vapes of 2024 to help you choose which one will best suit you.
What is a dry herb vape?
Dry herb vaporizers are a type of vape that utilises heat-not-burn technology, and offer an alternative to smoking for dry herb materials.
Each dry herb vaporizer has a heating chamber, also known as the oven, which gently heats the materials through the walls of the chamber. As opposed to smoking, which needs combustion to create a smoke, dry herb vapes create a vapour through heating the materials without the need for burning.
Depending on the device, you may be able to set the temperature of the oven, or it may have a pre-set temperature which is designed to offer the most enjoyable and satisfying vaping experience.
All of the best portable dry herb vape options will have a built-in rechargeable battery, similar to a standard vape kit, and a simple, lightweight design that allows them to be taken out and about with you.
What are the benefits of a dry herb vape?
Not only do dry herb vaporizers offer an alternative to smoking, but they can also offer a better user experience. Because the dry herb is heated instead of burnt, they offer a more crisp and clean flavour, which lets you enjoy the nuances of the dry herb in a way smoking does not. They can also make your materials last longer, as the vapour is extracted slower than if the dry herb were to be burnt.
Another advantage to using a dry herb vaporizer is that it is often a more clean experience, as the materials are all held within the oven, which is easy to empty and clean when finished, without producing any ash or other debris.
Do dry herb vapes smell?
While dry herb vaporizers may still produce a bit of a smell, it is vastly less than that of smoking dry herb.
The vapour also does not cling to clothes and your surroundings in the way that smoke would, which means you can avoid the lingering smell. Plus, any smell that is produced is not intermingled with a smoky smell, which can make it a bit more palatable.
Best dry herb vapes for 2024
When it comes to dry herb vapes PAX are industry leaders, with a range of devices that combine the latest technology with a sleek design and user-friendly experience.
PAX Plus
The PAX Plus is the ultimate dry herb vape, especially if you are looking for something with a wide range of different functions and user modes.
The PAX Plus offers a range of pre-set ‘experience modes’ each designed for a different type of vaping experience.
The stealth mode is designed for discretion, so not only does it produce a light vapour with little cloud production, but it even lowers the lights on the device.
Efficiency mode starts off slow and low, with the temperature increasing slowly throughout vaping session. These variations in temperature help the materials to last longer, and this is a great mode for use with a full oven or if you prefer a longer vaping session.
Flavour mode, as you may have guessed, uses temperature settings to optimise the flavour of your flower. This mode produces a thick and satisfying vapour, and is perfect for those who are looking to enjoy the try flavour of their dry herb.
Finally, boost mode is for those times when you are in a rush, or for those vapers who prefer a short, powerful vaping experience. This mode utilises high temperature settings to produce a thick vapour, while still offering great flavour payoff and letting you make the most of your materials.
The PAX Plus also comes with a choice of different oven options, so you can tailor the device to best suit your needs. The standard oven lid offers a fully packed oven, holding 0.5g of dry herb. But if you prefer a shorter vaping session, or just want to use less of your dry herb, it also comes with a half-pack oven lid which allows you to use less materials while also getting a good even heat.
The Plus even comes with a concentrate insert, as the standard oven is not designed for use with concentrates. This insert allows the Plus to become a dual-use vaporizer, and offers the same great vaping experience with different types of materials.
PAX Mini
The PAX Mini is our pick for the best budget dry herb vape, allowing you to enjoy state-of-the-art PAX technology and sleek design for a lower price point.
The PAX Mini is the smallest PAX device yet, making it ideal if you are frequently on-the-go and want something ultra-portable to take with you.
It is also a great option if you are new to dry herb vaping, as you do not need to select from different modes of temperatures. The Mini has one preset temperature setting which is designed to offer optimal flavour, longevity, and a satisfying vapour every time.
The PAX Mini packs a 3000 mAh integrated battery, which can last up to two hours between charges, and is easily recharged using the magnetic charger cable. The device heats up in just 22 seconds, and you have the choice of two different mouthpieces, so you can choose the one that feels most comfortable for you.
