For years, each new PAX felt like a minor tweak on the last one. Flow and Four are actually different vapes built for different people. This guide breaks down which is right for you (and explains why)…
If you want a dry herb vape that disappears into your daily carry, this is the one to go for. It’s on the premium-end, price-wise, but it’ll run seamlessly for probably the next decade or so…
The Dr. Dabber Switch 2 is the best e-rig I’ve tested. The induction heating system combined with real-time IR tracking delivers temperature consistency that nothing else in this category matches. The 20mm insert is a genuine upgrade. Eliminating atomizer failures removes the biggest recurring frustration in e-rig ownership. And the dynamic heating modes give experienced users the kind of session control that makes fixed-temp rigs feel limited by comparison.
Not everyone wants to drop $300+ on their first e-rig. And honestly? You shouldn’t have to. Not while there are so many good options under or just over $100 available.
The smart rig is the easiest way into electric dabbing without torching your budget or your concentrate. It’s simple to use, compact, and it packs in a massive battery.
Not every e-rig is built for the outdoors. Some are glass-heavy, some have batteries that barely survive a couple of sessions, and some are too fiddly. Here’s my 4 go-to options right now
The Focus V Carta Sport is a properly good e-rig that makes daily concentrate use genuinely easier. The removable airpath alone is worth a significant portion of the price, the vapor quality punches above the mid-market average, and the battery life is legitimately strong.
The Pulsar APX eRig does one thing better than most portable rigs in its class: it keeps going. Built around a 3200mAh battery with USB-C charging, coil-less quartz, and water filtration, this is a serious setup for concentrate lovers that want extended battery performance.
The Carta 2 built a strong reputation. People trust it. And the Sport, for all its improvements, made one decision that genuinely divides opinion: ditching the onboard display. Is this a deal-breaker? Nope. Read on to find out why.
Wrong temperature. That’s the reason most dabs either taste like burnt popcorn or leave half your concentrate sitting in a puddle at the bottom of your banger. Getting your temp dialed-in is the single biggest upgrade you can make to your dabbing setup, and it costs you nothing.
Designed to bring the fight to more feature-heavy vaporizers like the AirVape Legacy Pro, the Venty comes with a BIG price tag and lots of new bells and whistles. But it’s not exactly had a smooth ride so far with recalls and myriad bugs and issues. Is it worth it? I own and have used both extensively. Here’s how I see it breaking down (for most people):
It’s the ONLY vaporizer endorsed by medical professionals, but is the Mighty+ all its cracked up to be? I’ve had one since it launched – here’s my 2 cents on why I think it is best weed vaporizer on the market right now.
The Zeus Arc GT4 is the most capable pocket-friendly vape we’ve tested this year. It successfully bridges the gap between the ultra-portability of the PAX Plus and the raw power of the Mighty+. By utilizing gold for thermal management, it manages to deliver dense, high-temp clouds without the characteristic “conduction burn” found in cheaper units. It’s expensive, but if you want the best vapor quality you can fit in your pocket, this is it.
I’ve seen too many people torch a bong bowl, slap some shatter on top of flower, and call it “dabbing.” That’s not dabbing; it’s just wasting expensive concentrate. When it comes to bongs and dab rigs, there’s a world (and an entire culture) of difference and this guide outlines everything you need to know
I’ve spent years switching between a high-end quartz banger and the latest e-rigs, and as much as I love the tech and simplicity of E-Rigs, there are differences in how they hit and, of course, the vapor quality. Here’s how it all breaks down…
Traditional dabbing has its charms but it’s messy AF, it’s inconsistent, and you’re always one slip-up away from a nasty burn. Enter the E-Rig. These devices have completely flipped the script on how we consume concentrates, making the “torch and nail” setup look like a relic from the Stone Age.
Unlike traditional setups that rely on external heat and things like a nail, an e-rig uses a rechargeable battery (or mains power) to power a heating element (usually a ceramic or quartz “atomizer”). Think of it as the “smart device” of the dabbing world. They’re more convenient, safer, and you get way more consistant results with way less effort.
