Desktop Vaporizers Vs. Portable Vaporizers

When it comes to vaporizers, it’s important to take a look at the type of lifestyle you live and what you want to get out of them. Go to a lot of concerts? Live your life on the road? You might want to pick up a portable vaporizer that’s as ready for anything as you are. Prefer the Netflix life? Spend your days at home discovering the finer qualities of vinyl records? A desktop vaporizer might be more your speed, letting you chill in one spot with a constant stream of vapor without the requirement of hitting a bong repeatedly.

Still trying to decide? Let’s break it down a little bit more:

Desktop Vaporizers

Desktop vaporizers are the immobilized tank of the vaporizing world. They are great for when you got a couple friends coming over and you want to bring out something you won’t need to load over and over again and pass around that you’re worried about might break. Desktop vaporizers might not be able move from the center of the table, but you won’t want to go anywhere anyways! You’ll be passing around the tubes and balloon bags for hours with your desktop vaporizer’s large bowl capacity and sensitive temperature controls without a worry in the world.

Perks

  • Great for big circles
  • Will hit you hard
  • Large bud capacity
  • Can fill balloon bags
  • Can support multiple users at one time (Depending on model)

Drawbacks

  • Great for big circles
  • Attached To Wall
  • Takes Time To Heat Up
  • Takes Time To Fill Bags
  • More expensive than handhelds ($150+USD)

Personal/Handheld Vaporizers

Handheld vaporizers have changed the game for toking on the go. Gone are the days of trying to sneak around a pipe or a joint to light up, strut down the street with pride knowing that you’re not burning anything, that you’re not producing nearly as much smoke/vapor as to be concerned, and you’re not permeating any alarming smells!

Perks

  • Mobile
  • Discrete
  • Easy to use
  • Very customizeable
  • Wide price range ($20USD-$200+)
  • Small capacity
  • No bags or tubes for massive hits
  • Needs to be recharged
  • Battery may not live through entire smoke session
  • Not efficient for groups/sharing
