Variety is the spice of life. There’s nothing better than having all of your fickle whims catered to, in fact, it just might be the ultimate guilty pleasure. You don’t like what you’re watching? There are thousands of other movies online. You don’t like what you’re drinking? There are shelves and shelves of alternatives in the supermarket.
Is it too much to ask for the same level of choice when it comes to your vape experience?
Dry herb vaporizers are often built from the ground up to offer an alternative to the more traditional combustion-based methods. Overall, they offer a smoother, healthier, and less harsh way to consume your herb. Though, what happens when you want to mix things up? Thankfully the unique electronic heating systems of dry herb vaporizers can, with a little ingenuity, be used to vaporize concentrates too. This allows users to enjoy a vastly different vaping experience which is more intense than dry herb.
Volcano - $479.00
Storz & Bickel have defined what quality in the dry herb industry means. This monumental success is all down to their flagship vaporizer, The Volcano.

Ghost MV1 - $225.00
The Ghost MV1 is disrupting the portable vape scene with its unique design, it’s quality construction, and fantastic vapor quality. This vaporizer was clearly built with the works of vape veterans Storz & Bickel in mind, this is extremely apparent in its hybrid heating system. Neither convection or conduction, the heating system combines the best of both worlds to create dense, and potent vapor. The system even goes beyond what Storz & Bickel can achieve thanks to its innovative on-demand heating.
Everyone knows that convection heating provides the best quality vapor but conduction is the quickest to reach vaping temperatures. The Ghost, be it through ingenuity or black magic, have managed to create a vape that heats up as quickly as conduction but provides convection quality. This speed of use ensures that it is ready whenever you need it to be and also that your battery will only be drained when you’re actually enjoying a vape experience.
The Ghost also allows you to enjoy concentrates. However, unlike the Volcano, you won’t be restricted to oils alone. This device comes packaged with both a concentrate pad for oils and a specialized crucible that will allow you to enjoy waxy concentrates too!

Many contemporary vaporizers make you mess about with different grind consistencies and different packing densities. The CFX, however, can produce consistent and potent vapor regardless of what you put into it! The CFX features an impressively large chamber that lets you pack it to the brim for longer sessions, but if you only want a short session, then you can only throw a little herb into the chamber.

Plenty Vaporizer - $249.00
The Plenty is an unusual vaporizer. It sits somewhere between the portable and desktop vaporizer ends of the spectrum.

These interesting design decisions aside, The Plenty is still a Storz & Bickel Vape, and that means it is built with incredible vapor quality in mind. It features a distinctive metal coil airpath that offers incredible cooling that is virtually unparalleled. This superior cooling really comes into its own when it comes to vaping concentrates.

Mighty - $349.00
The hybrid heating systems of Storz & Bickel vaporizers make them excellent dual-use vaporizers. It should be no surprise that this list is dominated by them. The Mighty is The Crafty’s big brother. It looks very similar but there are a few notable differences. Firstly, it has a much larger control system and features a screen similar to that of the Volcano. Secondly, it is much larger than The Crafty. This is mainly due to the fact that The Mighty has a much more powerful battery, making it ideal for those who enjoy their vape experiences far from the closest power outlet. Much like The Crafty, The Mighty becomes a dual-use vape when it is used in combination with a concentrate insert. The Storz & Bickel hybrid heating system ensures a great concentrate or dry herb vape experience.
Firefly 2+ - $249.95
The Firefly 2+ is an evolution of the uber-popular Firefly 2 portable vaporizer.
