I have used several ball vapes by now and I am getting more and more excited for the future of devices. I thought making the ball vapes cordless was a huge step up for the game overall, but there are still improvements that can be made. Vapvana has released some pretty solid options for stoners out there looking for huge clouds of clean vapor. The first device I used from them was the Screwball and I was pretty impressed with the performance. They have only gotten better since then. The Vapvana Ace was one of the most impressive kits I've seen, and now they are getting even cleaner with The Natural. The Natural Kit Vapvana A cordless ball vape provides one of the most versatile smoke sessions you can get. The heater responsible for the Ball Vape head can also heat a quartz banger. This means you can get some incredible flower vape AND concentrate vapor hits from the same heater. The Natural Kit takes it a step further and gives you an all quartz and sapphire hammer which is some of the cleanest ball vape hits you can get. From my personal experience, The Natural has the best flavor I've experience when using a ball vape. I assumed before using the device the clouds weren't going to be impressive but I was mostly wrong. The first pull on this when dialed in correctly gives you a massive punch of vapor and it's exactly the type of hit I'm looking for when I rip a flower vape. The kit also comes with just about everything you need to get high except for the piece and the weed. My biggest issue with this, which is to be expected, is quartz loses heat faster than metal. Also the quartz takes longer to heat up than a metal one. These are to be expected when using quartz over metal but it is worth noting. I can still get some pretty amazing hits out of this, but it's not exactly ideal when you have a few friends over. You really have to wait a bit for The Natural to heat back up. However, for the solo stoner this thing is amazing!

It was only a matter of time before Focus V dropped a new E-Rig and the Carta Sport is here. I was initially impressed at the price of the device as I feel too many companies are trying to stay closer to the PS5 money range. However, at $235 this is a pretty solid option for many consumers. Probably one of the bigger things that is "different" about this device is the CARTA CONNECT removeable silicone airpaths. While I will say this may help some people keep their device cleaner, it appears to encourage people to let reclaim build up which is a little gross in my opinion. Most people's cleaning issues can be solved with regular cleaning. Focus V Carta Sport Review The device is sleek and I would say it's their best looking device yet. No ugly screen and a nice black and green design makes this device stand out a bit from other E-Rigs. Dropping the device to 1 button was a solid choice, however I am not a fan of the placement of the button. They made this e-rig compatible with the rest of the Carta glass so you won't be left with useless tops. The device comes with a water resistant carrying cases as well as a few other accessories to get you started. Many people will like the fact they can use their Focus V Glass and Atomizers with this device. The carb cap seems to be a nice step up from previous iterations. My biggest issue with this device is how they market the performance. A lot of their marketing says things like "up to 50 dabs" or "40+ hits" which in practice is not true at all. I was very eager to put their claims to the test and was immediately disappointed when I realized the approximate hits was based on settings much lower than their default. Kind of whack overall but something you see people doing a lot with battery powered devices. I will say the hits on this device are solid overall and you will get a decent amount of hits. While it's not the 40-50 they claim, I was getting around 30 hits on my preferred settings which were a little lower than the default. If I get a discount code or referral link in the future, I will try to add it to this post.

I was excited to hear about a Ball Vape that was much cheaper than some of the other options I am familiar with. Crossing Technology who makes the Core 2 E-Rig, one of my favorite low cost devices has also made a Ball Vape. Their ball vape, which released several months ago has quickly become one of the best low cost options for stoner devices. They include just about everything you need for some of the best flower vapor hits. You can also use the coil heater to heat up a quartz banger just like other cordless ball vapes. You can get the Wireless One-Hit Wonder for around $299. Save 10% w/ code "Cewpins" at VGOODIEZ ! Wireless One-Hit Wonder Review Crossing Technology released the Wireless One-Hit Wonder near the end of 2024 and it has quickly become one of my most favorite low cost devices to recommend. This is a great tool for any stoner to have because you can use it for amazing flower vape hits as well as heat your quartz banger perfectly. There are not too many devices in that price range with near the capabilities. The Ball Vape head also offers some options for how you take your hit. You can place the heated vape head inside of the bowl for injection style hits, or flip it over to fit around the top of the bowl for a diffuser style experience. This is very nice for customizing your hits for the best results. I like to use the diffusion option to more evenly vape the bowl, especially when I put a hash topper on it. Right now, the kit comes with everything you need except the quartz banger. However, it is possible that they will include it in the future. If you're not looking to spend more money to get the Ace Ball Vape Kit , then the Wireless One Hit Wonder might be the best option for you!

There is a large variety of flower vaporizers available, so it can be hard to narrow down your options when choosing one. I've tested out a number of devices and for this I will be comparing 5 of the most popular Dry Herb Vaporizers. If you're searching for the biggest clouds possible, you might want to consider a desktop ball vape. However if you need your clouds on the go, this list is perfect for you! POTV XMAX V3 Pro This is the cheapest option on the list and would make a great introductory vaporizer for most stoners. The device costs around $109 and can be purchased in around 5 color options. There are a large number of mouthpiece accessories available through Planet of the Vapes. You can get extended glass mouth pieces, bubblers, and waterpipe adapters. This herb vaporizer offers a simple interface with an easy to configure session mode. There is an 18650 battery that is replaceable if you want to extend your session without charging. The bowl size on this is limited and it probably holds the least amount of flower compared to the other devices on this list. I really like that with a bubbler I can take a phat rip and clear the whole bowl in one pull. Price: $109 RIP TEST VIDEO: POTV XMAX V3 Pro Sesh!! POTV Lobo I made some content not too long ago calling the POTV Lobo one of the best low cost options for dry herb vapes and this is still true today. The device costs around $159 and has a similar interface to the POTV Xmax V3 Pro. You can get this device in a few different colors, and POTV offers a 100-day risk free trial with this device. This is another Planet of the Vapes device, so a lot of their glass adapters and mouthpieces are universal and can be used for your Lobo. You can also replace the battery on this device to extend your session but it will do a decent amount of hits depending on how long you run the device. With the water pipe attachment, I can clear the bowl in 1-2 pulls and I get some pretty decent clouds. It offers a similar session mode to the XMAX V3, but the bowl on the Lobo is bigger and gives more vapor overall. Price: $159 RIP TEST VIDEO: POTV Lobo Sesh!!! Arizer Solo III v2 Next on the list is a device I've used off and on for a while. I had the v1 when it released and have since tested a couple versions of the V2. It comes in a couple different colors and offers an On-Demand and a Session mode so you can sesh how you want. The device comes with a few different mouth pieces and waterpipe adapters. While this device does not have a replaceable battery like some other DHVs, the battery life on this is quite impressive. I have the most success with the Session Mode and I think the interface on this makes it pretty cool. This device might have been my favorite on the list if I didn't accidentally combust with it so many times. I feel like when I go for the big clouds on this, I'm running the risk of lighting my herb on fire instead of vaporizing it. To keep it safe, I usually run 20 degrees or more under the max. This one almost made top of the list, but I've used 3 different Arizer Solo III units and they have all combusted on me too easily. Price: $275 RIP TEST VIDEO: Arizer Solo III V2 Sesh!!! TinyMight 2 This device might be one of my favorite DHVs that I've used. It's made in Finland which is refreshing to see after getting most of my devices from China. The design offers a sleek wood and metal design with a glass mouthpiece. You can adjust the bowl size pretty easily and the device comes with 2 different glass stems. This convection vape gives you the option for a session mode as well as an on-demand mode. I was getting some of the biggest clouds I've ever got off a portable vape with this device. The Session mode does a great job and you can even get a more intense "Beast Mode" when using the on-demand option. My biggest gripe with this device is all of the little O-Rings and little parts. However, this device was refreshing to use and has given me hope for the future of portable flower vaporizers. Price: $349 RIP TEST VIDEO: TinyMight 2 Sesh!!! Storz & Bickel Venty So the Venty is the most expensive device on this list and it is also one of the most expensive portable dry herb vaporizers. Storz & Bickel makes the Volcano which is one of the most iconic Herb Vaporizers available. The Venty is their latest and possibly greatest in portable options. There aren't any color options and you cannot replace the battery. However, POTV makes a replacement top that allows you to add all of their POTV glass mouthpieces and adapters. This is great because I am not the biggest fan of the plastic mouthpiece and body. This device only offers a session mode and the bowl holds more flower than any others on this list. You can't really clear the whole bowl in one hit but you can take a few good sized hits off the large bowl. The max temperature on this device is the lowest out of all the devices on this list. As a result, you get some of the lightest AVB after vaping your bowl. I wish I could get a little more heat from the device but I have never come close to combusting so that's a big positive. Price: $449 RIP TEST VIDEO: Storz & Bickel Venty Sesh!!!

There are so many battery options out there for your 510 carts. But if you really look into it, you will see most of them are about the same. A few temperature settings, maybe a fun shape or color, but nothing much to offer. Well since I've sort of commit to doing an annual cart event, I want to make sure I'm aware of the better options when it comes to using carts. I actually heard about the Zone OPTO right after Cart Week in 2024 and have been eager to see if it's any good. Well I did some recent testing to prepare for this years event, and I gotta say I'm impressed. Code "Cewpins" to save 15% on the Zone OPTO . Zone OPTO Review For the most part it seems the battery game is a bit stale. Most of the new stuff I see looks like it is meant for kids trying to hide their pen problem from their parents. The Zone OPTO actually has some features that interest me as far as a battery goes. This battery counts the hits that you've done and also has a counter for how many hits are remaining. While it is a calculation, it can be very helpful to see where you're at on your battery and if you need a charge. I like this feature so much that I feel my E-Rigs should offer it. Knowing where you're at with your battery life can be very helpful with devices, especially when you get more information than just battery percent. The OPTO offers a Flavor, Zone, and Vapor mode which provide different voltages for different flavor and vapor results. You can also get more accurate low temperature hits using the Preheat function which runs a preheating cycle of around 6-12 seconds depending on your batteries starting temperature. It took me a little while to realize the plastic case was for covering your cart on the top. It's a way to protect your cart from falls and keep your pocket lint out of the mouth-hole.

Cordless Ball vapes are definitely something every stoner should consider having. The versatility of being able to do flower vapor hits and concentrate hits is unmatched by other devices. Making ball vapes cordless really does make them better. I had worries that I was going to have issues maintaining proper heat when switching from corded to cordless flower vapes. However, I think the heat loss over time actually provides a better overall hit. It can impact your ability to to several hits in a row because you have to wait for it to heat back up. However, you can still achieve some of the biggest flower vapor hits compared to other devices. You can actually do your dabs off a quartz banger instead of a disposable atomizer which is ultimately better. The Ace Heater can be used to easily heat up the Ace flower head or a Quartz banger. Save 10% with code "Cewpins" at Vapvana . Vapvana Ace Review I have used a few different cordless ball vapes and at the time of writing this, the Vapvana Ace is my favorite hit. For a similar price to others, you get almost all of the tools and accessories you need for flower and concentrate. Other kits leave a bit to be desired, and all the little costs can add up. So I really appreciate the team at Vapvana to make sure to include some of the necessities. For flower, the kit comes with a flower head, a passthrough bowl, a flower scoop, and a brush which is really helpful for keeping things clean. You also get an auto-spinner quartz banger with a marble cap. I really appreciate the wooden dugout dock they provide which gives you plenty of storage for all of your accessories. They really thought of everything when putting this kit together. There are other devices I have recommended in the past where I always had to give people a list of additional things to get. This kit has everything but the flower and concentrates. Well, you are going to need a glass piece too but you probably guessed that by now. If you're looking to get the best of both vapor worlds, flower and concentrate, this might be a great option for you. This device will outperform most E-Rigs and Flower Vapes you can get for a similar price and it does both very well. Something like a Puffco Peak Pro is a little bit cheaper, but you can't use flower with it and you will have to replace your atomizer.

In this article I'm going to be talking about the 4 latest devices from Puffco and hopefully help some stoner out there decide what they want. I get asked a lot about these different devices on my Twitch stream and I have quite a bit of experience with all of them. I'm not going to include information on the Puffco Plus as that is the most outdated device they sell and I don't think many people are considering it. I will say you can get most of these devices from BoomHeadShop and save 10% with code "Cewpins." Puffco Pivot The Puffco Pivot is the newest device and is also the lowest cost item on the list. It features a 3D chamber like the other Puffco Devices and offers even more portability than other options. Out of the box there is no glass and this device really excels on the go. I will say all of Puffco Devices are pretty portable, but the Pivot takes it to the next level. It comes in a couple different colors and the replacement atomizers are a bit cheaper than the other devices. They also offer an atomizer that can be used to attach the Pivot to a glass rig if you want. I was mostly impressed with the size of hit I was able to get out of this little devices. This is a great device for anyone looking to get into concentrates as well as someone looking for a great portable option. We might even see more people switch from carts to real dabs with devices like this. You can use code "Cewpins" to save 10% on the Puffco Pivot at BoomHeadShop ! New Peak Puffco recently updated their first E-Rig that came out in 2018 with the New Peak. It was a huge upgrade from the original Peak and features a lot of their new technology. This device has a 3D chamber and a joystick cap which helps you get the most out of your concentrate. It features a very sleek design and also comes in a few different color options. The glass for the Peak and Peak Pro have the same size fitting so you can use any Peak glass on any Peak device. While you can't add a 3DXL chamber like the Peak Pro, the size of hit you can get from this device is still impressive. I think one of the more impressive things is the amount of hits you can do on a single charge. This doesn't have the ability to connect to the app like the Pro, and also doesn't have RGB lights. If you don't need all the bells and whistles that come with the Peak Pro, this might be a great option for you. It's the second cheapest device on the list and also the second most recent release. The New Peak is $220 and you can save 10% with code "Cewpins" at BoomHeadShop . Proxy The Puffco Proxy is one of the more unique electronic concentrate devices. Combining the classic pipe design with an electronic concentrate vaporizer makes for a fun sesh. There's something special about grabbing a pipe and taking some rips. This is definitely ideal for storytelling around the fire as well as taking some rips and solving some mysteries. I was very thrilled with the Proxy when it came out and it has provided many great smoke sessions. When they released the Proxy, Puffco highly encouraged glass blowers to make pieces for the Proxy. This has resulted in some of the coolest E-Rig glass I have ever seen. I do have to say this is the oldest device on the list as all of the other ones have had a later release or update since the Proxy came out. It's also more expensive than the previous 2 devices on this list at $269. I do believe Puffco will be releasing an updated version of the Proxy in the future. While I can't be sure, I am hoping for something in late 2025. With that said, I think this device is great but it may be best to wait for an upgrade. Code "Cewpins" to save 10% off the Puffco Proxy at BoomHeadShop. Puffco Peak Pro At the time of writing this article, the Puffco Peak Pro is the best of the best E-Rig on the market. I have tested very many devices, which a lot of them are just knockoffs of this. This hits harder than any of the other devices on the list and has the best battery. You can also enjoy more customization than the other devices using the Puffco App. This will allow you to fine tune your temperature, dab times, and RGB colors on display while you take a rip. The Peak Pro comes with a 3DXL chamber now so you don't have to worry about any upgrades out of the box. The default glass isn't my favorite but it does work well with the device. They offer this in a few different colors, but make sure you're looking at the updated version or the V2 Peak Pro. Some headshops still have the older ones floating around. The Peak Pro is great for people that are doing a lot of concentrate hits and it also is great for a session with a few people. This is by far the most expensive Puffco device at a whopping $420. Code "Cewpins" for 10% off the Puffco Peak Pro at BoomHeadShop . Overall I would say all of these devices are great. The Peak Pro is the best device on the list but it is also the most expensive. You can get some great hits out of the New Peak so it can be a great option for someone looking for a well-rounded E-Rig without all the Pro features. The Pivot is a great entry level device for anyone looking to experiment with concentrates without having to use a blowtorch. Either way, whatever you decide, come get LIT with me on Twitch !

The BOMB E-Rig has been getting update after update and this is the best version of the BOMB yet. Over time they have improved the batter, improved the glass, and even improved the atomizer. The BOMB already had one of the largest chambers for an E-Rig but it is now even bigger and better. The most recent update has got me excited to dab even more than usual. With the addition of a fidget spinner cap, I can barely put my BOMB Erig down. The BOMB Skyloud is $200 and you can get 10% off w/ code "Cewpins" at BOMBOfficial . BOMB eRig Skyloud Portable Dab Device I've already made some content around the BOMB E-Rig but I felt it necessary to talk about the updates. This version of the BOMB is the best yet. The battery life is improved from the original version. The glass that comes with the device is the best yet providing some nice bubbles with the UFO percolator. I've even noticed some seasonal glass drops from BOMB including some Halloween, Christmas, and now Valentine's day glass. The chamber or atomizer is probably the most notable upgrade. It's even larger than before and now has a built in fidget spinner cap. At first I was skeptical of the cap but after a good amount of testing, I think the cap is really nice. The chamber size was already pretty large but it is even larger with the Skyloud. The colors offered for the BOMB E-Rig are also nice. It gives you a break from the typical all black or all white E-Rig. I think with the new upgrades and price at $220, the BOMB is still one of the better options for a low cost E-Rig. I'm excited to see what else they can do with this device in the future.

There are some names in the E-Rig game that have been around for a while. I can recall one of the very first E-Rigs I ever used which was made by Dr Dabber. They have released several different devices including brand and celebrity collaborations. They are one of the few brands that aren't just trying to copy Puffco in their designs which is a bit refreshing. When I heard they were releasing an update for one of their most popular E-Rigs, I got excited. While I wasn't super impressed with the original Dr Dabber Switch, I had high hopes for the Switch 2 when I heard they were releasing a new version after 6 years. Code "Cewpins" for 10% off the Dr Dabber Switch 2 . Dr. Dabber Switch 2 Review There are so many devices out there that are just some cheap knock-off of the Puffco Peak, but not the Switch 2. Improving the design of their original device, the Switch 2 is one of the few E-Rigs that uses Induction Heating. That's right, no atomizers. You're doing your dabs right out of a quartz dish, or sapphire if you spring for the upgrade. As long as you maintain your dish, you won't have to replace it every 3-6 months like some E-Rig atomizers. This rig is much larger than most electronic dab rigs and as a result, it's not quite as portable. This is more of a cordless, at home option for taking concentrate hits. You won't need a torch for this rig and you will be able to dial in the temperature of your hit to your liking. I'm not the biggest fan of the carb cap, but it attaches with a magnet so there is a chance for an updated option. The phone app is a bit clunky but that is kind of the norm for E Rig apps. This E-Rig offers a light show like some others do, but it makes it kind of hard to see. Also it appears as though your light settings are only visible between hits and not during. One of the biggest things this device brings to the table is different heating options. Most E-Rigs heat your chamber to a set temperature, keep it there for the set time, and then cool off. You can do that with the Switch 2, but also you can set it to slowly increase the temperature during a hit or decrease to mimic a quartz banger cooling off. These heating profiles seem cool and I can see other brands doing something similar in the future. I think this device has a lot of room for improvement which is still possible with updates through the app as well as another carb cap option.

It's been a pretty big year for Puffco who has introduced some interesting new devices. I was excited to hear about the Pivot releasing as Puffco's newest pen device. The Puffco Plus was wildly popular and helped introduce a lot of people to dabbing concentrates. The new addition of the Pivot gives on-the-go dabbers something to be excited about. I've tested out 2 different devices and also the water pipe attachment and overall I am very impressed by the performance. You can get some pretty solid hits from the device and the price won't break the bank. I think the Puffco Pivot's $130 price point is going to be very appealing for anyone looking to get into concentrates. You can use code "Cewpins" to save 10% on the Puffco Pivot at BoomHeadShop ! Puffco Pivot Review I've used a lot of different portable concentrate devices and I've got to say the Pivot is one of my new favorites. I've got a lot of devices that have water attachments, do great hits, and are decently portable. However, the portability of the Pivot is some of the best hits you can on the go without trying to hide a cone shaped bulge in your pants. The battery won't provide as many hits as the New Peak or the Peak Pro but you will still be able to get nice and high and share with your friends. It charges up pretty quick and even has the capability of connecting to your phone to charge. For people who only have experience with concentrates via carts, this provide a great stepping stone to get you onto real dabs. Carts are portable and convenient, but so is the Pivot and it actually does some great hits. Sure you can get rosin carts, but they have to do extra processing of your concentrates to get them into the carts. With the Pivot, you can dab that top shelf rosin on the go without any sacrifice in concentrate quality. All in all this device is great for beginners as well as the more savvy consumer looking for more portable options. Puffco is proving themselves as the premier concentrate device company with 4 solid Electric Dab Rigs. The Pivot is the cheapest and more portable Puffco device you can get.

In my journey of testing out a lot of cannabis devices I often come across something that's so different, I have to give it a try. When I saw that there was a Flower Vaporizer that was also a water cup, I got a weird amount of excitement. As the guy who tells people to "Sip before you Rip" as a means to help take better hits, the Tafee Bowle seemed right up my alley. Now I must admit that I thought this device was purely a gimmick and wasn't going to impress me. After many sessions with the device and seeing what it is capable of, I have to say it's actually one of my favorite devices and has earned a spot on my desk. Now this device isn't cheap and might not be a good choice for someone's first flower vaporizer. However if you've got some extra money to throw around for flower devices, this one is definitely worth a look. The Tafée Bowle Series II can be purchased for around $449 and you can save $20 with code "Cewpins" on the Bowle and the Silver Label Collection . Tafée Bowle Series II Flower Vaporizer Review When I first began using this device all I could think about is who needs a water cup flower vape for close to $500? You can find Twitch Clips of my saying this device is only for people with VAS or "Vape Acquisition Syndrome." But the more I used the device, the more I became impressed with the actual performance of the flower vape. Water Cup Gimmick aside, this thing does some pretty great rips. It also heats up and is ready to create vapor a lot quicker than most of my flower vaporizers. I can get vapor to produce in a matter of seconds where some other devices need around 30 seconds or so to get similar results. The water cup is acrylic and it seems most people would assume it is glass. I believe a glass cup would make this device much heavier and less enjoyable to use. I mostly use the cup for water which helps me always have some water to sip before, during, and after my rips should I need. But every now and then I will pour some cider or another alcoholic beverage and have the One-Handed CrossFade ready. The more I use this device, the more I like it. They also make this one of the easier devices to repack. You can get a grinder that fills 4 bowls at a time and they are really easy to reload. They are made from ceramic and do not hold much heat even seconds after a rip. So as a result, I am able to rapid fire repack bowls and vape a ton of flower. You will find me using this device a lot on Fridays when I try to use less glass due to alcohol consumption. It's easy to keep several bowls packed for this device so I like to take it outside to my patio and I can bring the grinder with 8 bowls ready to go. While I don't think this should be somebody's first flower vape they consider, I do think there are a lot of stoners out there who are always looking for new toys to play with. I have to say, this is one of the most fun toys I've got to play with all year. I'm honestly excited for to see more unique devices that cover additional wants or needs. Okay so your flower vape does nice rips.....how much Mountain Dew does it hold!?!!

The original concept of the Volcano Vaporizers has been around since the 90s and has had many improvements and innovations over the years. It's actually wild you could do Volcano bag rips before you could play the Original Xbox. The Volcano is also one of the most iconic stoner devices and has been featured in many movies throughout the years. I've known about the Volcano as long as I've been smoking and it seems like every stoner has at least one person in their smoke circle who owns one. The Volcano Hybrid is one of the most expensive devices on the market around $700. The Volcano Hybrid Vaporizer You can get the Volcano in a couple different versions and a couple different color options. The Volcano Classic is a cheaper options but doesn't have all of the features and capabilities of the Volcano Hybrid. Also there are silver and onyx color options for bother version of the device. I think this device really shines when you use the bags compared to the hose. While the hose does give some decent hits, the bag hits are just too good. You can really get a lot of vapor out of this thing and one full bowl pack can give me 2 solid bags of vapor, sometimes a 3rd if I'm using lower temperatures. However, I like to try to get 2 bags of the thickest vapor I can and stop there. Some people claim they are getting 4-5 bags but that's not the case for me. Either way this device has been getting a lot of use out of me on my Twitch streams. It makes for a great addition to my desktop and provides a different type of hit compared to me mostly hitting out of glass pieces. Where this thing really shines is on Friday when I get crossfaded. I don't have to worry about breaking any of my glass when I do a little bit of drinking. I can just shelve all of the glass and take cano bag rips. The bags seem to get a lot of use out of them before you need to replace them. I would say the costs could be similar but most likely a bit more than what you'd spend regularly cleaning a glass piece. However I would say you should clean your glass everyday, and the bags can go weeks before you need to replace. If you're looking for a device that is going to do most of the work and is pretty easy to maintain, the Volcano might be the right choice for you. If you really wanna use glass pieces and like to be more involved with the hit, it might not be your best bet.
