Best small dry herb vaporizer?

[TomH]

I’m sure someone here has some experience in this area, I’m looking for a dry herb vape for my daughter for her birthday this year.

I’d like to get her something with good performance and easy to use (change temp settings etc.) And not a bear to clean.

I have a PAX2 which I really like, but it’s no longer made.

Ideas? Recommendations? Also, anything I should avoid?

Thank you!

Yep that's the one.
There are better ball vapes out there, but Mini Nail is one of the few that gets their packaging and presentation right.

The best ball vape currently is the VapVana Screwball and VapVana Ace.
The Mini Nail is a good option though.

I’ve had the Lobo for a long while now. We use it for three people about 6+ times each day, more on weekends and holidays.

I bought 12 capsules for travel and cycle through 3-4 each day. Keeps the oven so much cleaner.

390* is our usual setting. But that’s because my wife has to see smoke or she doesn’t think she’s getting high. This last month I’ve been going to 370* for extra flavour but bump to 410* by the end for big hits and lots of smoke. (Wife likes it just at 410* and doesn’t care about taste. )

Two tricks I picked up….
1. After each session dab the screen on a paper towel to keep clean and extend life between cleanings.View attachment 88724View attachment 88725

The second easy tip is to run hot tap water through the glass straw once you see rosin buildup. If the screen is bad it’s coming from the straw. Just remove the straw first.

We mostly use the longer straw seen above. Second best is the big bubbler Gordido.

Any questions feel free to ask.

I bought my daughter the POTV Lobo last year, she loves it. I keep trying to figure out how to talk her out of it! It seems much better than the PAX2 I’m using, but no complaints, what I have works.

If I need to buy a replacement, it’ll likely be the Lobo!

Well you guys have me feeling good about my 4/20 score!

I'm taking another dive into dry herb vapes and went with the Lobo starter pack from POV and added 4 more capsules + the Gordito bubbler

You're right Zen..a carrying case and capsule caddy will be very ez to make on a 3D printer. I'll have some STL downloads within days after I get my kit

I think you’ll be happy. I like 370 for taste but wifey needs to see smoke so we bump it up to 400 for her.

One thing I’ve noticed that probably won’t affect you is that the usb charger might not work properly below 18*-20*. If it’s warmed up in my pocket a few minutes, so it’s no longer cold to the touch, it’s fine.

If you remove the top “lid” after a session touch it to a good paper towel. Hold it pressed against the screen a minute. This sucks the resin back out so you don’t have to do a big cleaning too often. That HB is a juicy one.

I would recommend the longer glass bubble straw as well. It’s now my/our favourite accessory. I got clear so I can see when it’s dirty faster. I clean it fast by holding it with big tweezers under the sinks hot water a few minutes. Works faster than ISO and no second wash needed. We have a dollar store sink screen I put in just in case.

Gordido is great, once you find the right water level. It’s a bit big to leave on all the time but I’ve left it on fir a few weekends. Otherwise I switch back to the longer bubble straw.

The original black glass straw is okay but gets hot fast. More for personal use. Sharing with three people it’s gotten uncomfortable a few times. IMO the longer straw should come with it and ditch the short one.

Make sure you use the capsules for weed. Sooo much better than my last vape. Cleans up much easier/faster. Doesn’t muck up the oven or let resin leak into the guts.

I use a metal tool I have to clean out the capsules quick and nice. It’s like a mini double end paddle. Flat on both ends but squared on one and pointed on the other. Rarely use the pointed end. Square end does the lid and inside the capsule and sides.



Depending on how sticky the weed we run 4 capsules a month then switch to a clean set works for us. I have 13 capsules so three rotations.

I put the black straw in the capsule holder in case it’s needed.


We bought a proper 18650 charger too. But I use the USB one most of the time and rotate between four batteries every month or two.

Any questions feel free to ask.

Edit: Look here for printer ideas. Search for POTV for a few things but other search strings get you things like the multi capsule filling station.

I ordered the blue and here is everything that will come in the starter pack.
Looks like I'll get both long and short mouthpieces + I ordered the gordito which I'll use most often.
The keychain capsule caddy will come in very handy since this will be an on-the-go piece.
It's coming with a battery but I also have two others since they're the same battery that Davinci uses in their vapes.
It also comes with a free $15 gift card to POTV and the Tightvac Canister for capsules not shown in this pic.




The capsule style was what sold it for me the most then reviews and pricing. Considered the Angus Enhanced but opted for Lobo.

I'll clean the capsules in my sonic bath which is why I wanted that feature. If they keep the vape clean then I keep the capsules like new with the bath I should like it a ton staying clean and not being a PITA to clean it.

I'm going with a portable dry herb vape mostly because I have a unique opportunity to use freeze dried herb in it.
I keep an open door policy on new ideas when it comes to everything growing and especially partaking.
So now freeze drying is on my radar mostly for extractions but I've also been reading good things about vaping freeze dried flower so I wanna try that.

My daughter loves her lobo.
Had it since last july.

Next time I buy a vape device, it’ll be the same or what ever replaces it.

I use these ISO wipes on the oven when it’s still warm. Fold them a few times then use my tool to stir it around, sort of scraping the sides cushioned.

It’s stainless so will go a gold colour anyway. We use the vape a lot and I rarely get any build up. Capsules need more cleaning with real sticky weed but doesn’t take long or I toss in ISO.

Yup, I clean capsules in ISO soak, then rinse with boiling water.

Thank you so much! It's always cool to meet people who watched my previously deleted channels, especially Mighty users. My Mighty Tips & Tricks video had like 1.3M views when I got deleted :\

IMO you can't go wrong with the Venty. There have been people who have had issues with the Venty - but Storz hasn't screwed anyone over that I've seen. My venty gets used daily and I haven't had any issues with it since my first replacement.

That said - I use the ball vapes 10x more than portable vapes. I'm usually at my desk when I vape and the screwball is hot and ready 16+ hours per day.

Hey Bud...I have the Mighty OG, and Mighty+. I also own a PAX, and Ditanium Desktop.Here is my question...

With either Mighty and GOOD flower, I load a Capsule. I can bring the device up to temp, 390F, take one or two hits, shut it down, and then continue to hit it in an effort to rapidly cool it down and use up any vapor potential. Now, here is the real deal...I can do that two more times and on the last session, bump to 400F or 410F.

To me this is being efficient with my flower. I get PROPERLY lit on each session and do lose flavor after the first session, but it is so economical and cost effective.

I am interested in the Arizer III V2. Correct me if I am wrong, but what I do with the Mighty sessions are NOT possible with the Arizer Solo III. You load the tube, insert and once up to temperature, you must consume it all. Is that a fair statement?

Thanks man. I am just looking for another device, that hits like a Mighty, and allows for sessions like a Mighty and all while having a pure unadulterated flavor profile. Hmmm...sounds ridiculous now that I've said it.

Thanks for your time in answering.

I did a deep dive, and yes...you can use the Arizer Solo III V2 like a Mighty.
