You’ve decided to move to vaporisation, but faced with the jungle of available models, you’re completely lost? Fair enough: there are over 200 different vaporizers on the market, with prices ranging from €40 to €700, different heating technologies, and technical jargon that sounds like another language when you’re new.
This exhaustive guide turns confusion into clarity. After testing more than 50 different vaporizers and helping thousands of customers choose, we’ve identified the 7 truly decisive criteria to get your first purchase right.
Whether your budget is €80 or €300, whether you’re always on the go or mostly at home, a beginner or a budding connoisseur, you’ll find everything here to choose THE vaporizer that suits you.
The 3 main vaporizer families: find your category
Before talking brands or prices, it’s essential to understand that there are three radically different types of vaporizers, each meeting specific needs.
1. Portable vaporizers: freedom and discretion
Features:
– Smartphone-sized or smaller
– Powered by rechargeable battery
– Battery life: 5 to 15 sessions
– Heat-up time: 20 seconds to 2 minutes
– Price: €60 to €350
Pros:
✅ Total mobility (pocket, bag)
✅ Discreet, often e-cigarette-like
✅ Perfect for outdoors
✅ No need for a power socket
✅ Huge model choice
Cons:
❌ Smaller ovens (0.2–0.5 g)
❌ Limited battery life (needs monitoring)
❌ More frequent cleaning
❌ Vapour quality can be below desktops
Ideal profile:
You’re often on the move, you vape outside, you want discretion, and you consume small amounts 1–3 times per day.
2. Desktop vaporizers: power and premium quality
Features:
– Mains powered (no battery)
– Bulky (about the size of a router)
– Maximum heating power
– Large ovens (0.5–2 g)
– Price: €150 to €600
Pros:
✅ Outstanding vapour quality
✅ Unlimited power (no battery limits)
✅ Perfect for group sessions
✅ Legendary durability (10–15 years)
✅ Maximum cannabinoid extraction
Cons:
❌ Not portable
❌ Requires a wall socket
❌ Bulky hardware
❌ Higher entry price
❌ Sometimes longer heat-up (3–5 minutes)
Ideal profile:
You mostly vape at home, want the best possible quality, host sessions with friends, and are happy to invest for the long term.
3. Vape pens: accessible entry-level
Features:
– Ultra-compact pen form factor
– Simplified conduction technology
– Often fixed temperature or 2–3 steps
– Price: €40 to €120
Pros:
✅ Very affordable
✅ Ultra-compact and discreet
✅ Simple to use
✅ Great to test vaping
Cons:
❌ Basic vapour quality
❌ Incomplete extraction
❌ Limited durability (1–2 years)
❌ Minimal control (fixed temp)
❌ Sometimes mediocre materials
Ideal profile:
You’re just starting and want to try without investing much, you vape occasionally, or need an ultra-discreet backup device.
Our tip:
Avoid pens if you can spend €100–€150. The quality jump to a mid-range portable is substantial. Pens are fine to test, but you may be disappointed and end up upgrading quickly.
The 7 essential criteria to choose the right vaporizer
Now you know the families, let’s dive into the technical details that really matter.
Criterion 1: Heating technology (THE decisive factor)
This is the single most important factor — it defines your experience quality.
🔥 Conduction (contact heating)
Principle: Your herbs touch a heated surface (think frying pan).
Pros:
– Fast heat-up (20–40 s)
– More affordable
– Mechanical simplicity
Cons:
– Uneven heating (risk of partial combustion)
– Requires stirring mid-session
– Less pure flavour
– Waste if you don’t finish the oven in one go
Examples of conduction devices:
– Entry-level ranges (PAX, G Pen, XMAX)
💨 Convection (hot-air heating)
Principle: Hot air flows through the herbs without direct contact (like a fan oven).
Pros:
– Even, uniform heating
– Optimal cannabinoid extraction
– Preserved flavour (terpenes intact)
– No partial combustion
– On-demand possible (sip-style sessions)
Cons:
– Longer heat-up (45–90 s)
– Higher price
– Greater battery consumption
Examples of convection devices:
– Firefly 2+, Healthy Rips, Arizer Solo
⚡ Hybrid (conduction + convection)
Principle: Combines both technologies to maximise strengths.
The best compromise: faster heat-up + excellent extraction + great flavour.
Examples of hybrid devices:
– Storz & Bickel Mighty/Crafty, DynaVap (with external heat), some Arizer models
Our recommendation:
Choose convection or hybrid whenever budget allows (from €120). The upgrade in quality is dramatic. Pure conduction should only be considered for very tight budgets (under €80).
Criterion 2: Oven (materials and size)
Best materials to prioritise (best → acceptable):
1. Borosilicate glass ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
– Perfectly neutral flavour
– Chemically inert
– Easy to clean
– Fragile (but replaceable)
2. Medical-grade ceramic ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
– Excellent flavour
– Robust
– Even heating
– Durable
3. Medical-grade stainless steel (316L) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
– Very durable
– Non-toxic
– Slight metallic note possible
– Easy to clean
4. Titanium ⭐⭐⭐⭐
– Ultra-strong
– Lightweight
– Neutral flavour
– Expensive
5. Anodised aluminium ⭐⭐⭐
– Fine when medical-grade
– Light
– Acceptable taste
– Cheaper
❌ AVOID COMPLETELY:
– Plastics (even “heat-resistant”)
– Non-anodised aluminium
– Uncertified materials
– Mystery alloys
Oven size:
Small (0.1–0.2 g): ideal for quick solo sessions
Medium (0.2–0.4 g): versatile, suits most users
Large (0.5 g +): long or group sessions
Our tip:
Choose a medium oven. Large ovens force you to overpack when you only want a couple of pulls; small ones need constant refilling.
Criterion 3: Temperature control (precision vs simplicity)
Fixed temperature ❌
– No control
– Limited to 1–2 presets
– Avoid unless the budget is very tight
Stepped control (3–5 levels) ⭐⭐⭐
– Enough to start
– Easy to use
– Lets you personalise the experience
– Affordable
Precise degree-by-degree control ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
– Total personalisation
– Temperature experimentation
– Optimal extraction for your needs
– Found on mid/high-end models
Smartphone app control ⭐⭐⭐⭐
– Maximum precision
– Custom temp profiles
– Usage tracking
– A “nice-to-have” for some, essential for others
Key temperatures to have:
– 170°C: maximum flavour, lighter effects
– 185°C: universal sweet spot
– 200°C: full extraction, stronger effects
– 210°C: dense vapour, maximal effects
Our recommendation:
At least 4 temp steps or precise control from 160°C to 220°C. That’s the current standard for a good vaporizer.
Criterion 4: Battery life (portables only)
How to assess real-world battery:
5–7 sessions ⭐⭐
– Requires daily charging
– Frustrating for heavy use
– Acceptable for occasional use
8–12 sessions ⭐⭐⭐⭐
– Current standard
– Recharge every 2–3 days
– Comfortable for most users
13–20 sessions ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
– Excellent battery life
– Ideal for travel
– Rarer and often heavier devices
20+ sessions ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
– Exceptional autonomy
– Replaceable cells (18650)
– Examples: Arizer Air, Solo
What impacts battery life:
– Temperature used (higher = more drain)
– Session length
– Heat-up time
– Battery age/health
Replaceable vs built-in batteries:
Built-in battery:
– More compact
– No handling
– Limited lifespan (2–3 years, 300–500 cycles)
– Device often replaced when battery fades
Replaceable battery (e.g., 18650):
– Unlimited runtime (spares)
– Maximum device longevity
– Slightly bulkier
– Requires buying spare cells/charger
Our recommendation:
Aim for at least 8 sessions per charge. Below that, you’ll be charging constantly. If possible, pick replaceable batteries for a long-term investment.
Criterion 5: Heat-up time (patience vs speed)
Under 20 seconds ⚡⚡⚡
– Instant (e.g., DynaVap with torch)
– Fast conduction portables
– Great for on-demand
20–45 seconds ⚡⚡
– Current conduction standard
– Fine for most users
45–90 seconds ⚡
– Quality convection standard
– Patience rewarded with better vapour
– Normal for top devices
2–5 minutes 🐌
– Desktop units
– Preheat required
– The trade-off for peak performance
Our tip:
Heat-up time is overrated as a buying criterion. An extra 30 seconds won’t change your life — especially if vapour quality is better. Don’t sacrifice quality to save 20 seconds.
Criterion 6: Ease of maintenance (crucial for longevity)
Check these BEFORE buying:
✅ Removable oven: fixed ovens are a pain to clean
✅ Accessible screens/filters: they clog first
✅ Detachable vapour path: essential for deep cleans
✅ Spare parts available: O-rings, screens, mouthpieces
✅ Isopropyl-compatible: the most effective cleaning method
Realistic cleaning schedule:
Light clean: every 3–5 sessions
– Empty & brush the oven (2 min)
– Cotton swab the vapour path
Medium clean: every 2 weeks
– Partial teardown (10 min)
– Soak removable parts in isopropyl
– Brush thoroughly
Full clean: monthly
– Full teardown (20 min)
– Longer soak (30 min)
– Replace O-rings if needed
Easiest to clean:
– Arizer (detachable glass stems)
– Storz & Bickel (modular top units)
– Healthy Rips (removable ceramic oven)
Most annoying:
– Cheap pens (glued parts)
– Twisty internal paths
– Fixed ovens with poor access
Our tip:
A vaporizer that’s easy to clean lasts twice as long as a complex one. Don’t underestimate this. A neglected device can lose 50% performance in weeks.
Criterion 7: Real budget (purchase price + hidden costs)
Don’t look at purchase price alone. Calculate total cost of ownership.
Budget €50–€100: Entry level
What you get:
– Pen or conduction portable
– Basic but acceptable materials
– Fixed temp or 3 steps
– Lower battery life (5–7 sessions)
– Lifespan: 12–18 months
Extra costs:
– Replacement after 1–2 years: €60–€80
– Spare batteries: €20
– Cleaning supplies: €15/year
3-year total: €180–€250
Examples: XMAX V3 Pro, G Pen Dash, Flowermate
Budget €100–€200: Mid-range (sweet spot)
What you get:
– Hybrid or convection portable
– Quality materials (ceramic, glass)
– Precise temp control
– Good battery (8–12 sessions)
– Lifespan: 3–5 years
Extra costs:
– Accessories: €30
– Cleaning: €20/year
– Spares: €40 over 3 years
3-year total: €250–€300
THIS IS THE RANGE WE RECOMMEND TO 90% OF BEGINNERS.
Budget €200–€350: High-end
What you get:
– Advanced hybrid tech
– Premium materials (titanium, borosilicate)
– Smartphone app
– Excellent battery (12–20 sessions)
– Extended warranty
– Lifespan: 5–10 years
Extra costs:
– Premium accessories: €50
– Cleaning: €25/year
– Spares: €60 over 5 years
5-year total: €450–€550
Examples: Storz & Bickel Crafty+, Mighty+, Firefly 2+
Budget €350+: Top-tier excellence
What you get:
– Premium desktops
– Guaranteed maximum extraction
– Lifetime warranty (some models)
– Legendary durability (10–15 years)
– Unmatched vapour quality
10-year total: €500–€800
Examples: Storz & Bickel Volcano, VapBong, Herborizer
Cost/performance analysis:
Over 3 years:
– Entry (€60) = €83/year = Poor value
– Mid (€150) = €83/year = BEST VALUE
– High (€280) = €93/year = Excellent investment
Budget conclusion:
Spending €150–€180 on a solid mid-range portable is the smartest choice for 90% of users. You break even in 3 months thanks to CBD savings (see savings guide).
Fatal mistakes to avoid
After seeing hundreds of disappointed buyers, these mistakes keep coming back.
❌ Mistake #1: Buying the absolute cheapest
The trap:
“I’ll just test with a €40 model; if I like it I’ll upgrade.”
Reality:
Low-end devices give a poor first impression and don’t reflect vaping’s potential. You might:
– Hate the experience and quit
– Buy a better model two months later
– Spend €120 total instead of €150 upfront
The fix:
Save 1–2 months more and go mid-range. Or buy used (see below).
❌ Mistake #2: Choosing by looks
The trap:
“This one looks futuristic, I want it!”
Reality:
Marketing loves pretty shells. But pretty + poor tech = poor vaporizer.
The fix:
Performance first, design second. The good ones are usually well designed anyway.
❌ Mistake #3: Ignoring negative reviews
The trap:
“500 five-stars and 10 one-stars — I’ll ignore the negatives.”
Reality:
Low-star reviews reveal hidden flaws (fragility, overheating, terrible after-sales).
The fix:
Read 2–3 star reviews (often the most objective) and look for patterns: if multiple people mention the same issue, that’s a red flag.
❌ Mistake #4: Buying from non-specialist sites
The trap:
Amazon/AliExpress/marketplaces for a “bargain.”
Reality:
– High counterfeit risk
– No valid manufacturer warranty
– Non-existent after-sales
– Dubious materials (fake certificates)
The fix:
Buy only from specialist CBD/vape retailers with a French SIRET or reputable EU business ID, official warranties, and responsive support.
❌ Mistake #5: Neglecting warranty and after-sales
The trap:
“I’ll never need the warranty.”
Reality:
Vaporizers are complex electronics. Failures happen (batteries, sensors, buttons).
The fix:
Check BEFORE buying:
– Warranty duration (min 1 year, ideally 2–3)
– Return terms (who pays shipping?)
– Repair turnaround
– Retailer support reviews
Second-hand vaporizers: smart or risky?
The used market can be interesting — with big caveats.
Good use-cases:
✅ Robust high-end models
– Storz & Bickel (Mighty, Crafty, Volcano)
– Arizer (Solo, Air)
– Devices with replaceable batteries
✅ Meaningful savings (40–60%)
A Mighty+ at €350 new can be €180–€200 second-hand in excellent condition.
✅ Trustworthy seller
– Original invoice
– Transferable warranty
– Detailed photos
– Maintenance history
Risky cases:
❌ Low/mid-range devices
Saving €20–€30 isn’t worth the risk.
❌ Used built-in battery
A cell with 500 cycles is near end-of-life.
❌ No remaining warranty
A failure = total loss.
❌ Shady seller
– No invoice
– Blurry photos
– Too-good-to-be-true price
– Won’t demo the device working
Safe second-hand protocol:
1. Verify authenticity: serial + photo → contact manufacturer
2. Demand a demo: see it heating and producing vapour
3. Inspect carefully: oven, path, battery, buttons
4. Negotiate for wear: scratches/usage = price down
5. Secure payment: PayPal (buyer protection) or in person
6. Deep clean before first use
Our verdict:
Second-hand is worth it ONLY for recent premium models (under 2 years) with transferable warranty. Otherwise buy new with full cover.
Must-have accessories vs pointless gadgets
Genuinely useful accessories (buy these):
1. Quality grinder (€15–€35) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
ESSENTIAL. Even grind = optimal extraction. A poor grinder ruins flavour and airflow.
Key features:
– 4-piece (with kief catcher)
– Diamond/steel teeth
– Strong magnet
– Easy to clean
2. Cleaning kit (€10–€20) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
– Mixed-size brushes
– Long cotton swabs
– Pipe cleaners
– 90%+ isopropyl alcohol
3. Dosing capsules (€15–€25 per pack) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Let you:
– Pre-load multiple doses

– Swap strains quickly
– Travel easily
4. Spare mouthpieces (€5–€15) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hygiene + replacements when worn.
5. Spare batteries (€20–€40) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
For replaceable-cell models. Unlimited autonomy.
6. Carry case (€15–€30) ⭐⭐⭐
Shock protection, discretion, organisation.
Dispensable gadgets (skip these):
❌ Water pipe adapter (WPA) — unless you already use a bong
❌ Bubbler add-ons — minor gains, high maintenance
❌ Silicone sleeves — cosmetic at best
❌ Skins and stickers — zero utility
❌ Desk stands — your vape stands fine
Recommended accessory budget:
– Minimum: Grinder + cleaning = €30
– Ideal: + Capsules + mouthpieces + case = €80
– Complete: + Spare battery = €120

Ultimate FAQ: everything you ask before buying
Can I use a vaporizer for more than CBD?
Yes — most will handle:
– All CBD hemp varieties
– Aromatic herbs (camomile, mint, lavender, thyme)
– Medical cannabis (with a valid prescription)
How long does a vaporizer last?
– Entry level: 12–24 months
– Mid-range: 3–5 years
– High-end: 5–10 years
– Desktops: 10–20 years
With regular maintenance. Without it, halve those figures.
Can I use concentrates (hash, wax)?
Some devices allow it with dedicated accessories (pads/capsules). Check compatibility first.
Does a vaporizer smell?
Far less than smoke (≈90% less). Vapour smell:
– Disappears in 5–10 minutes
– Doesn’t cling to fabrics
– Reminds some of toasted popcorn/fresh herbs
Can I vape in my room/flat?
Yes. Unlike smoke, vapour doesn’t linger. Crack a window for 10 minutes and it’s imperceptible.
Do vaporizers break?
They can, like any electronics:
– Common issues: battery, buttons, temperature sensors
– Solution: manufacturer warranty (1–3 years depending on model)
– Prevention: regular cleaning, avoid drops
Should I grind very fine?
No — medium “pipe tobacco” grind is ideal. Too fine = clogs. Too coarse = poor extraction.
Annual maintenance cost?
– Isopropyl alcohol: €10/year
– Brushes/tools: €5/year (long-lasting)
– Spare parts (O-rings/screens): €10–€20/year
Total: €25–€35/year max.
Can I share a vaporizer?
Yes — but:
– Use individual mouthpieces (hygiene)
– Quick clean between users
– Some models have session modes ideal for sharing
What does the warranty usually cover?
Generally:
✅ Manufacturing defects
✅ Electronic failures
✅ Battery issues (year 1)
❌ Accidental damage (drops)
❌ Poor maintenance
❌ Normal wear
Red flags: when NOT to buy a vaporizer
Some signs should make you run.
🚨 Critical red flags:
❌ Suspiciously low price: a “Mighty+” for €150 new = counterfeit
❌ No verified reviews: brand-new site, zero feedback
❌ Unspecified materials: “high-quality metal oven” = avoid
❌ No certifications: no CE/RoHS mention
❌ Unsecured site: no HTTPS, no legal details
❌ No valid business ID: trouble with warranty/returns
❌ Stolen photos: pixelated images from other sites
❌ Absurd promises: “cures everything”, “100% savings”
🟡 Yellow flags to double-check:
⚠️ Unknown brand: look for independent reviews
⚠️ Very short warranty (3–6 months): low quality
⚠️ High return costs: €30+ to return a defect
⚠️ Very long delivery: 3–4 weeks = dubious dropshipping
⚠️ No phone number: contact form only
⚠️ Vague descriptions: no precise specs
