Vaporizers

Types of vaporizers – selection guide

Vaporizers differ from each other in terms of heating method, mobility and purpose. Understanding these differences will help you choose the device that is perfectly suited to your lifestyle and expectations.

Portable Vaporizers

Portable vaporizers run on built-in rechargeable batteries and fit in a pocket or small bag. Their main advantage is mobility – you can use them anywhere without access to an outlet. Models such as the Storz & Bickel Mighty+ and X-Max V3 Pro offer a runtime of up to 90 minutes on a single charge and heat up in just 20-60 seconds. Portable vaporizers will work well both at home and when traveling.

Desktop Vaporizers

Desktop vaporizers are designed for home use and require constant power from an outlet. In return, they offer more heating power, more precise temperature control and the possibility of longer sessions. The flagship Storz & Bickel Volcano Hybrid allows inhalation through a balloon or hose, providing versatility not available in portable models. Stationary devices are an ideal choice for people who value the highest quality of steam and comfort of use at home.

Medical Vaporizers

Medical vaporizers are devices registered as medical devices, with CE certificates in accordance with Directive 93/42/EEC. They are intended for patients who use medical marijuana under the supervision of a doctor. They guarantee the highest standards of safety and precision of dosage.

Convection, conduction and hybrid vaporizers

The division according to the heating method directly affects the quality of the vapor and taste. Conduction vaporizers heat the herb by direct contact with a hot surface – they heat up quickly, but require thorough grinding of the herb. Convection vaporizers use the flow of hot air for even heating and cleaner flavor. Hybrid vaporizers combine both technologies to offer fast heating and excellent vapor quality – an example is the Storz & Bickel Mighty+ with its patented Hybrid Heating system.

How to choose a vaporizer? Key criteria

Choosing the right vaporizer depends on several factors. Whether you're looking for your first vaporizer to start with or an advanced premium device – below you will find the most important criteria to consider before buying.

Temperature control and heating range

The temperature of the vaporization is crucial for the effects of inhalation. The range of 160-180°C promotes the release of terpenes responsible for the aroma. In the range of 180–200°C , optimal extraction of cannabinoids (CBD, THC) occurs. Temperatures of 200-220°C provide more intense action, but the steam becomes warmer. Choose devices with precise temperature control in the range of at least 1°C – this will allow you to adjust the session to the type of flower and the expected effects.

Battery capacity and runtime

For users who value mobility, battery capacity is an important parameter. High-end portable vaporizers offer 2500-3500 mAh batteries, which translates into 60-120 minutes of operation. More and more models support USB-C charging, which significantly reduces the time of replenishment. Some devices, such as the X-Max V3 Pro, have a replaceable 18650 battery, which eliminates the need to wait for charging.

Build quality and materials

The materials from which the heating chamber and the steam path are made directly affect the purity of taste and safety of use. The best vaporizers use medical ceramics, surgical steel, or borosilicate glass. Avoid appliances with plastic components in the heating area. Certified vaporizers have HERO passed compliance tests with EMC, RoHS and REACH standards, which confirms the absence of harmful substances.

Easy to use and clean

For beginners, intuitive operation is important – one button, an easy-to-read display and fast heating. Regular cleaning of the vaporizer prolongs its lifespan and ensures the purity of the vapor. In our store you will find dedicated accessories for cleaning vaporizers – toothbrushes, isopropyl alcohol and replaceable strainers.

Useful accessories for vaping

Proper preparation of the herb and the right accessories can significantly improve the quality of inhalation. Herb grinders ensure that the material is ground evenly, which translates into more efficient extraction. Vacuum containers keep the dried herbs fresh for up to several weeks. Precision balances allow you to measure accurate doses. Adapters, bubblers and mini bongs, on the other hand, lower the temperature of the steam and provide additional water filtration, increasing the comfort of longer sessions.
