Dry herb vaporizers are devices that heat the flower from medical cannabis or other herbs to a precise temperature. This allows the release of the active compounds found in their oils via a vapour that can be inhaled. 

By avoiding combustion it is thought that isolating only the active compounds you need for inhalation will drastically reduce health implications. 

This precise control not only avoids combustion, but also allows you to target specific terpenes, or dial in the amount of vapour produced at a time to suit your comfort levels. 

Dry heb vapes come in all shapes and sizes, but here we are going to jump in to the best portable dry herb vaporizers for medical cannabis patients here in the UK. 

The Mighty/ Mighty +

In my opinion, the Mighty dry herb vaporizer is shoulder to shoulder with the best portable devices on the market currently. However, to be honest you can save money and go for the Crafty for an even more portable choice, or spend up and go for the Venty and level it up slightly. I chose the Mighty here due to the balance of cost, premium functionality and battery life when considering this vs the crafty/ venty. 

So let's jump into why. I have been using one for two years now alongside other devices. It’s created by a company known for producing quality, well engineered and long lasting vaping products, and it’s been praised by experts in the industry for years. 

I have only recently upgraded away from this as my daily, and thats because it had finally kicked the bucket after years of daily use as a medical patient,  

The Mighty is a top-notch device that’s capable of producing extremely pure and flavourful vapour and has a medical device option (Can be prescribed to save VAT for medical patients!). It also comes with a few other great customisations due to its popularity, like glass mouthpieces, or whips to pass the vapour through a bubbler, mesh pads to use with concentrates and dosing capsules for ease of use when out and about.

The Mighty features an LCD display, precise temperature control (40-210°C), and a generous herb chamber. It heats up in just 90 seconds and offers a battery life of 60-90 minutes.

The device is compatible with herbs, wax, and concentrates, making it a versatile option for various vaping preferences especially with the ever expanding medical cannabis options.

One of the standout features of the Mighty is its cooling unit, which can be easily disassembled for thorough cleaning. The device also boasts an automatic shut-off feature that conserves battery life and ensures maximum safety.

The only real downside to the Mighty is the price, but it’s still an excellent choice for anyone looking for the best dry herb vaporizer on the market as you have the peace of mind of owning a rock solid piece of kit. Other constructive criticism of the unit is that by design it has plenty of places for small bits of flower to get trapped when filling. This means that it can be a smelly boy when stored, which isn’t always ideal when you’re carrying it in a bag with other items!

Thankfully there are plenty of carry cases that can resolve this issue, including a waterproof pelican case that I recently grabbed that fits snuggly! Lastly, it’s quite a big device, it’s not like these tiny disposable vapes you can get these days. It takes a lot of power to consistently heat something at 210C for a few minutes at a time, and as such it takes big batteries! So the Mighty is a chunky boy, but that added battery life compared to it’s smaller counter part the Crafty, is a worthwhile compromise in my eyes, with roughly 5-6 doses between charges after a year of use. 

The Arizer Air II is our best budget buy that fits into the portable dry herb vape bracket. Though it’s not quite as popular as the Mighty, it is significantly cheaper and just as easy to use. The Air II is a durable vaporizer that’s been praised by experts in the industry and users alike and with good reason. Their reviews across multiple platforms sing the same praises and for the size and familiar style of this vape, you really can't go wrong out and about.  

It’s been said to produce excellent vapor at a great value, and it’s definitely a solid pick for anyone needing a device for on the go. Not that it matters so much being a legal patient, but many of our customers bring up how strange some devices look, so the fact this looks like a common nicotine vape helps with discression when medicating out and about. The Arizer Air II comes with a durable, easy-to-use design that makes it ideal for beginners or anyone who wants an affordable and effective dry herb vaporizer. From my personal experience it certainly stacks up to the Mighty in terms of vapour production and flavour when used right, and is way easier to fit in your pocket/ bag. So a strong contender for a portable dry herb vape!

I can't vouch personally for longevity of durability, but haven't heard any notable complaints. So would give that a confident thumbs up, as usually when a device is known for issues we'll hear about it!

*Continued below!* 

The PAX 3 is a small, unique device which can easily fit in a small case or even your pocket. Better yet, it looks beautiful and discrete. Although we are looking at portable devices here, do remember that Dry Herb Vaporizers require alot of power. So you will be compromising on battery life slightly with smaller devices.

With it's unique form function, it doesn't draw attention to itself as a vaporizer at all. It looks almost likea small power bank for your phone and yet delivers great tasting smooth vapour time after time.  

With an easy to load chamber and a magnetic clip on mouth piece, there is no fiddly unscrewing to deal with. So for those of us with fine motor control issues it's an accessible option too!  

Although it doesn't produce the most vapour compared to larger devices, this is a happy compromise for the size and convenience of using your medication on the go. I have borrowed one of these whilst waiting for a repair on a Venty and I wasnt disappointed.  

Personally I don't think you can go too far wrong with a PAX, and although there are better products on the market, for this price it's a great piece of kit from a reputable brand. 

So you already know we're a fan of other well known premium options here, and opted to vouch for the Mighty above rather than the Venty which is even more expensive again and we stand by the fact these are fantastic options. 

However, there is one device we haven't mentioned yet that stands toe to toe with these. The Tinymight 2. 

This thing packs a punch both in terms of vapour, throat hit and build quality with a beautiful Finnish construction.

So what's all the fuss about and why is this our top premium pick for portable dry herb vapes? 

Table top dry herb vaporizers have the advantage of faster heat up, no waiting for charging, and generally better vapour production. However, not all vapes are made the same. 

When it comes to reputable build quality matched by a focus on safety with medical options available, the Volcano by Storz and Bickel is hard to beat. 

With various models available, a new Volcano can be picked up between £300 - £500 depending on model, location and whether you manage to grab a 420/ black friday sale. 

So what makes this the top recommendation for desktop? Let's jump in! 

Put simply, at around £300 you expect an outstanding device and as soon as you hold this in your hand, it will make sense. 

Coming from other high end devices, it was still notable in comparison from hold alone but that isn't where it shines brightest in comparison. 

What makes this a different animal and ultimately one of the best on the go portable dry herb vape options is... On demand vapour.. 

No waiting times, simply ready to go when you are delivering strong effective hits time after time. 

So for those needing a quick dose on the go, or struggling to swap over to dry herb vaping, this is an ideal solution offering a really close experience when it comes to throat feel.

Though I cant speak from the perspective of an owner, I have heard from dozens and dozens of happy daily users who swear by this device and have done for a while. With this being cheaper than a Venty it is very hard to pass up.

Beyond the remote there are a tonne of reasons to take this setup seriously. Sure you have to accept a little more plastic than the Volcano, and ultimately it isn't as iconic, but when it comes to effective use of your medication, looks don't really come into it right? 

This desktop setup is small considering what it can do, and is easy to maintain. Using the whip allows you to take things at your own pace and dial in the temp as you go, or you can use the bag system for an even more portable experience. 

Beyond this the possibilities are endless as you can customise it with bubblers, prep it for concentrate use and more. One thing is for sure, you get a hell of a lot for your money with this setup and this is a major reason why it's become so popular.
