What’s Your Vaping Budget?
$50-$100
If your budget is $50 to $100 for a vaporizer, you actually have more options than you probably think. Check out our “Best Portable Vaporizers” page to see a list of quality, portable vaporizers that are right inside your price range.
If your budget is $50 to $100 and you enjoy vaping oil, wax or liquid concentrate, than you have even more options. Be sure to check out our “7 Best Vaporizer Pens” page to find even more options within your price range. Some of these vaporizer pens do work with dry herb, but if you prefer vaporizing dry herb than we recommend looking at the “Best Portable Vaporizers” page, you’ll be more likely to find something better on that list.
$100-$200
$100 to $200 is a bit of a conundrum because many of the high-end portable vaporizers are in the $200-$250 range. So if you raise your budget just a bit it could really be worth the extra money. However, if you’re stuck at under $200, than we’d recommend looking at the “Best Portable Vaporizers” page, particularly at the MigVapor Matrix Vaporizer ($150) and the V2Pro Series 7 Vaporizer ($169).
However, if you want to push up to the top of your budget, there are some other really good options. The DaVinci Vaporizer ($199.99) is one of the top portable vapes on the market for under $200. You could also even go for a desktop vape, such as the Da Buddha Vaporizer ($190) or the Silver Surfer Vaporizer (which is a little more than our top limit — $208.99).
$200-$300
In the $200-$300 range, your options really open up when it comes to portable vaporizers. If this is your budget, you can go for any of our “Top 10 Portable Vaporizers” and pretty much every one of our “Top 8 Desktop Vaporizers” besides the Herbalizer, Volcano, Aromed Vaporizer, and the Herbal Air Elite Vaporizer.
It really depends on your personal preference. If you want to be able to take your vape on the go, than we would recommend our #1 ranked portable vaporizer in this price range, the Arizer Solo ($223.99) or the FireFly ($269.95). The Firefly is the more portable of the 2 but the Arizer Solo is very fun to use and extremely efficient.
If you don’t mind keeping your vape at home most of the time, a high-end desktop vaporizer could be right up your alley. We would recommend the Arizer Extreme Q ($239), Vapir Rise ($249.99) or the Silver Surfer ($269.99). They are all whip style vaporizers but each have their own unique qualities.
$300+
If you have over 300 dollars to spend, than you may as well just splurge on the Volcano. You can get the Classic Volcano for $479 or the new Digital Volcano for $579. You could also look into the highly touted Herbalizer, which is currently going for $599. Sure, the Herbalizer is $299 more than $300, but if you’re going to spend that much on one of the best vaporizers on the market, you should just spend a bit more and get THE best vaporizer on the market.

Want something for your dry herbs?
If you’re looking for a descreet vape to vaporize your dry herbs — go and check out the VaporFi Orbit vaporizer. It’s on sale now for only $99. It’s small, powerful, and made specifically for dry herbs.
What Form of Medical Marijuana Will You Be Using?
Vaporizers have changed a lot since the development of concentrates in wax and oil form. Now that THC comes in concentrated form, vaporizers don’t have to be as big and bulky to do their job. Vaporizer pens have come on to the scene in force and are pretty much the go-to vaporizer for any type of concentrate. But the classic dry herb vapor technology has improved as well. You can now get a premium dry herb vaporizer for around $200, and instead of it being a bulky, whip-style vaporizer, it’s small enough that you can put it in your pocket and carry it around with you.
Because things have changed so much, we really have to look at what type of product you’ll be putting in your vaporizer most of the time.
Wax Concentrate
If you prefer wax concentrate to dry herb, than you have it pretty easy. You can get a quality wax vaporizer for much cheaper than you can find a quality dry herb vaporizer. We would recommend any of our “Top Wax Vaporizer Pens”. They are cheaper than the portable or desktop vaporizers, as well as smaller and more discreet. Our top recommendation out of that list is, of course, the vape pen ranked in the #1 spot: the Matrix Ceramic Vape Pen. It’s only $149.99, has tons of rave reviews, loyal customers, and with its wax chamber, the Matrix handles wax amazingly.
Oil Concentrate
As electronic cigarettes have exploded onto the scene and changed the world of cigarettes and smoking, they’ve also affected the world of medical marijuana. Now cannabis patients can use the same technology found in e-cigarettes to vaporize their medicine in liquid form. By replacing nicotine-laced e-liquid with THC-laced oil, you can now use e-cigarette technology to discreetly and potently access your medicine. Many people who are out and about a lot prefer the THC oil vaporizers, so if that describes you, we recommend you check out our “Best Oil Vaporizer Pens” page to see which one suits you best.
Dry Herb
Dry Herb is still the most popular form of vaporization. Simply vaporizing the original product is much easier than buying it and then getting it into wax or liquid form, or paying more to somebody to do it for you. Plus, vaporizing dry herbs just tastes better! Because there is such a wide range of dry herb vaporizers, it mostly comes down to your budget. Look at the above budget section again to get an idea of what you can afford. You may also want to take a look at our “Top Portable Vaporizers” page to see a full list of the best herbal vapes on the market.
Where Will You Be Doing Most of Your Vaping?
The final aspect of choosing the right vaporizer we will be looking at is location. Location, location, location. Where do you spend most of your days? And what does that say about what type of vaporizer is best for you? Let’s take a look.
Spend Most of Your Day at Home
Whether you work from home, are a stay-at-home mom or you’re just simply unemployed, the fact remains that you spend a lot of time at home. You are lucky because you can actually get a quality desktop vaporizer for a lower price than you can get the same quality portable vaporizer. We would recommend the Da Buddha Vaporizer ($189) or the Arizer V Tower ($149.99). If your budget isn’t quite as high as $150, than maybe something like the Atmos Liv ($89) or the Magic Flight Launch Box ($119) could also do the trick.
Spend Most of Your Days in Public
Whether because you are an extrovert who loves being around people or because you hate being at home, some people just spend a lot of time around other people. Whether hanging out in the downtown area of your city or at the local park, if this is your situation than you need something that is fairly discreet. We would first recommend that you take a look at our “Smallest of the Small Vaporizers” page, to see just how small and sneaky you can really get it. The Magic Flight Launch Box ($119) and the Indica ($199) are particularly small but effective. If none of those suit your fancy and you have a mid to high budget, than you may want to look at the Pax Vaporizer ($249.95) or FireFly Vaporizer ($269.95). If those are more than you’re looking to spend, you may want to go for a vape pen such as the Vapor Fi Orbit ($99.99) if you like dry herbs or the Omicron ($97.99) if you like wax.
Spend a Lot of Time at Friend’s Houses
If you are often hanging out with friends at different houses and plan to be sharing your vape, than a portable vaporizer is definitely best for you. A vape pen is too inconsistent and doesn’t hold enough for even the entire circle to get a puff. The desktop vaporizers are a bit too bulky to pack up and move all the time. If you have a larger budget, than we definitely recommend the Arizer Solo ($239.99) or the Vapir NO2 ($149.99). If you have a budget below $100, than a desktop option might actually be best. A smaller, whip-style vaporizer like the Easy Vape 5 ($89.99) is perfect for a shareable vaporizer on a smaller budget.
