#1 Portable Vaporizer
Check out the top selling portable vaporizer by PAX Labs. The PAX 3 is a compact portable vaporizer for both dry herbs and wax extracts.
A Comparison: “DaVinci Miqro vs Pax 3”
The portable vaporizer is a small, handy device that is changing lifestyles. Many smokers have dropped the traditional flame in favor of the vape. There are many great portable vaporizers to choose from – here we take a look at two of the most popular brands – PAX and DaVinci.
Naturally, portable vaporizer users would want the ultimate vaping experience as well as value for money. Hence, the logical choices would be the premium models – DaVinci Miqro and Pax 3 – from among the many available in the market.
Currently, the competition between the two iconic brands just intensified. Both are engaged in an intense battle to win the hearts of portable vaporizer users. Their respective lead products boast of excellent features and functionality that perhaps only a thin line separates them.
Vaporizer Comparison – “The Miqro vs Pax 3”
To begin the comparison, the Miqro 3 is the newest entry to the market where the Pax 3 is presently lording over. Thus, the Miqro 3 is the challenger to the throne held by what users claim as the best if not the smartest of the lot.
Design / Portability / Size
The diminutive Pax 3 is the acknowledged titan of the industry. The design of the anodized aluminum, four-inch-tall vaporizer is ergonomic. It carries a simple yet intuitive interface.
Assembly is effortless as the lids and mouthpieces are magnetically attached. There’s a lip-sense technology to make vaping simple.
Miqro 3 is smaller in size but actually the petite version of its highly-popular predecessor, the DaVinci IQ. This is by far the extremely portable vape. The 15 grid LED display embedded in the handsome, elegant design is a marvel to the eyes. For portable vaporizer users, Miqro 3 is very easy to use.
Heating system / Usable substance
In terms of substance compatibility, the Pax 3 is compatible with wax concentrates and dry herb. The Miqro is well-suited for dry herb only.
Conduction is the heating system of both. But in so far as oven size is concerned, the Pax 3 can take in up to 0.3 grams of herb. The smaller Miqro has a smaller oven but features a zirconium pearl. While the oven is relatively small to hold enough herb, it is ideal for solo sessions.
The salient features
The Pax 3 earned its lofty position in the market because of its extensive features. Users will gain complete and full control of the vaporizer with its Smartphone App.
That is an outstanding feature if you want a more customized vaping experience, especially when using the dynamic modes. The size of Pax 3’s oven can also be adjusted as there are three different oven lids to choose from.
On the other hand, the Miqro is unbeatable if you want a device with absolute portability. Aside from this standout feature, the pocket-sized vaporizer has the DaVinci IQ’s Smart Path mode. The temperature increases gradually as you vape.
You will also notice the pearl on the inside of the Miqro’s chamber cover. It allows the user to adjust the oven size while providing an even distribution of heat. In addition, portable vaporizer users have several customization options with the integrated precision temperature control.
Undeniably, both vaporizers have unique features. However, the Miqro’s Smart Path can operate without the smartphone app. and its oven size adjuster is also built in. With the Pax 3, the smartphone app. is required in order to go into the advanced customization.
Battery power
The Pax 3 battery is non-replaceable but chargeable. It can last for 90 minutes with charging time of about 2 hours.
The Miqro battery is replaceable and chargeable but the duration time is shorter (20-30 minutes).
Durability / Warranty
The Pax 3 has proven that is one of the most reliable and top-of-mind vapes. There are no adverse feedbacks as to dependability. The brand reputation remains solid. The product warranty is 10 years.
Even if the Miqro is comparatively new, DaVinci vaporizers are known to durable and made to last. Users can expect this device to perform in a similar fashion after years of use. The product warranty is 5 years
Making the investment decision
Given the tale of the tape, it’s a head-to-head battle between the legend and the upstart. With no clear, runaway advantage, the decision might rest on three things: price, size, and brand preference.
The Pax 3 retails for $249.99 and if you purchase directly from PAX Vapor, you get the full 10-year warranty. The Miqro 3, which is the ultra-portable version of the classic DaVinci IQ, sells for $199.00 directly from DaVinci.
Both products are terrific choices. No vape comes close to the premium features of either device. You’re making a wise decision if you invest in the Pax 3 or the Miqro. But the best part is that you get to own the best the vaping space has ever produced. And that’s a fact.

Quest AeroInhaler Vaporizer | Aerosol THC Delivery System
The cannabis industry continues to move forward at a relentless pace amidst all the backlash from strict government regulations around the world. The people have spoken and when there is a movement as powerful as the one behind the cannabis industry there is not much hope in stopping it. Companies like Quest, are bringing to market new and innovative ideas that make us rethink what cannabis consumption is all about. The Aero Inhaler Vaporizer seen here is a prime example of new ways to consume medical and recreational marijuana.
What is the Quest AeroInhaler Aerosol THC Delivery System
The Quest AeroInhaler is a new device that allows you to inhale puffs of approximately 10 mg of THC every time. Each cartridge gives you 100 puffs and can be picked up at many of the top dispensaries. The puffs send THC distillate directly into your lungs with no heat applied. This means there is no combustion which greatly reduces any irritating or burning of the throat.
The AeroInhaler is the most simple cannabis delivery system on the market. You just place the actuator between your lips and press down. The Aersol delivers an excellent blend of herbal terpy flavor.
AeroInhaler Distillate
A major concern with regular dab hits and dry herb hits using both the traditional flame and regular vaporizers is the whole guessing game behind the potency of each hit. With the Quest AeroInhaler, you are more in control of each session as it delivers the same dose with each puff.
Quest distillate delivers pure THC that helps to eliminate the buzzy head high of a Sativa and the couch burdening low of an Indica. A measured, and metered dose allows you to get the desired effect you are after and not over do yourself by accident. The Quest distillate is created with added live resin which delivers great tasting terpins.
Did Someone Say Discrete?
One of the big problems plaguing pretty much every other type of cannabis consumption method besides edibles is the smell. The distinct potency of cannabis although quite delightful to some, is a red flag and dead give a way to others.
The Quest AeroInhaler is unique in that it has no odor that people around you can detect. This unit is truly one of the most discreet cannabis consumption methods that exists.
Build and Safety
Quest AeroInhaler is made with pharmaceutical-grade components. It is recommended to clean the actuator valve that dispenses the doseage on a frequent basis. Keeping the actuator clean will ensure that you are receiving the proper dosage level of each puff.
XLux Vixen Wax Pen – Makeup Vaporizer
Who says the vaping industry isn't fashionable? The new XLux Vixen wax pen is a discrete vaporizer that resembles a stick of makeup. XVape (XMax) has been manufacturing portable vaping devices for a long time and it looking to capitalize on the growing female consumer base for wax concentrates.
Fashion Meets Vaping
Vixen is a discrete portable wax vape pen that comes with a smell proof cap, magnetic mouthpiece, and leak proof design. If you have been on the lookout for a inconspicuous portable vaporizer pen, this could be your answer. Designed for those who like make-up the XLux Vixen comes in both black and pink casings.
Under the Hood (or Cap)
The XLux Vixen is more powerful than I would have originally thought. After looking more closely at the Vixen wax pen I was pretty impressed. Powered by a 900 mAh battery, built with a smell proof cap and magnetic mouthpiece, USB charging, a leak proof design, and coming with 2 heating elements the Vixen is a solid little package. A dual quartz titanium coil and ceramic plate coil are included to give you the vaping experience more preferable to your liking.
Temperature and Vapor Production
Xlux Vixen has 3 pre set temperatures that you can vape your waxes with. Low temperature is set to 400C (753F), medium at 500C (932F), and high at 600C (1112F). This is a pretty wide range and high temperature output for such a small unit. The three options should be enough to deliver stronger flavor on low and larger hits on high.
In the Package
Everything you need to start vaping wax concentrates is included (minus the wax). Included in the package with the XLux Vixen is a packing tool, USB cable, user manual, 2 heating elements, wax holding container, and the vaporizer itself.
More from XVape / XMax
XVape is more than just a discrete fashion vape pen manufacturer. Sure they also have the XVape Muse (view here) which is a vape pen that can also be used as a writing utensil. But they also have other high quality performance vaporizers. One of the newest editions to the XVape line is the XVape Fog. The Fog is a hybrid conduction + convection vaporizer that delivers superior vapor quality.

Utillian 651 Vaporizer – Flask Weed Vaporizer
Who doesn't like holding a flask! The Utillian 651 is a flask shaped dry herb vaporizer that packs a punch. An upgrade from the popular Utillian 651, elder sibling to the Utillian 420, and more compact than the Utillian 721 the 651 is a promising mid sized performance vaporizer. Today we will take a closer look at the overall build quality, vapor performance, battery life, pro's and con's, and our overall thoughts on if this product is a good buy. Continue reading below to learn more from our Utillian 651 vaporizer review.

Build Quality of the Utillian 651 Vaporizer
Housed with an anodized aluminum shell the Utillian 651 is a durable device. The glass mouthpiece is protected by a flask style protection lid. This device does not have very many parts which means there is not much that can go wrong with it. The Utillian 651 is in the vaporizers under $150 category and outperforms most mid priced range devices on the market. The oven uses a ceramic heating chamber to heat your herbs. Overall the build quality of the Utillian 651 is above industry average.
You should never purchase a vaporizer that does not come with a warranty. A warranty means that the company stands behind the quality of their devices. Utillian offers a 1 year hassle free warranty.
Performance and Vapor Quality of the Utillian 651
Powered by 3 pre set heating temperatures the Utillian 651 vaporizer does not offer a very wide range in heating options. Luckily the 3 default settings are chosen well and switching between them should deliver enjoyable results. The lowest temperature is set at 196C, the medium to 204C and the highest at 212C.
As the vapor is heated in the ceramic heating chamber which uses conduction heating it travels upwards into the glass mouthpiece to deliver a pure smooth hit. The lower two temperatures deliver stronger taste while the hottest produces the most visible vapor.
Portability and Battery
Battery power is where the Utillian 651 packs its punch. With up to 3 hours of usage time this is one of the longest lasting portable vaporizers in the under $200 price range.
Shaped like a flask this unit may be considered discrete in terms of looking like a vaporizer, but it raises alarm in its disguise. If someone is intrigued by the flask or perhaps you are in a no drinking area then closer inspection would reveal your little secret. For this reason I would say that this is not a discrete vaporizer and is more of a novelty device.
On a comfort-ability scale I would say that this is a nice vape to carry around and also to hold while using. Similar to a flask it is curved to fit nicely in your pocket. When you are using the Utillian 651 it feels like you are taking a sip from a flask.
Pros
Here are a few points that make the Utillian 651 a vaporizer worth considering:
- Long lasting battery life
- Unique flask shape
- Above average build quality
- Very easy to use and maintain
- 3 well chosen heat settings
- Budget friendly - priced very competitively
Cons
No portable vaporizer is perfect. Here are a few reasons why you may not like the Utillian 651 vaporizer:
- Not designed for wax concentrates or liquids
- Does not offer precision range temperature
- No screen to display information
- Does not use convection vaporization
Overall Thoughts on the Utillian 651 Vaporizer
For the low price point and the extra long lasting battery I think this device is a good deal. Utillian is known for making strong performing devices that are made with high quality components. The 3 temperature settings do not offer a wide range of heat settings but the 3 that have been chosen work well. The appearance of the Utillian 651 is my favorite aspect of this device as it speaks class to me. Failling somewhere in between the Utillian 420 and the Utillian 721 the 651 has its niche.
XVape Fog Vaporizer – Hybrid Convection
Hybrid vaporizers bring you the best of conduction and convection heating methods. The XMax XVape Fog vaporizer is the first hybrid vaporizer that XVape has brought to market. XVape is known for making powerful affordable vaporizers for both dry herbs and wax concentrates. Today we take a closer look at the new XVape Fog to see how it stacks up against the competition. We will touch on the build quality, vapor production, portability, ease of use and pros and cons of this new compact portable vaporizer.
Build Quality of the XVape Fog Vaporizer
The XVape Fog vaporizer is built with a thick anodized aluminum shell. This thick shell gives the unit a rugged feel and tough casing. Magnetic components are becoming increasingly more popular with portable vaporizers, lowering the cost of production while increasing ease of use. The magnetic mouthpiece top and makes for quick loading and easy maintenance. A jewelry grade ceramic mouthpiece sits on top of the Fog which helps to cool down the vapor as it heads towards your mouth.
Vapor Production and Smoothness
The Fog has five default temperature settings that range from 356 F up to 428 F. Each temperature setting is displayed by the five green LED lights located on the side of the unit. When you have 1 light blinking it is heating up to the lowest temperature, when the light turns solid it has reached that temperature. The higher 4 temperatures work the same way.
The lower 3 temperatures deliver more flavor while the higher 2 temperatures give you easily noticeable increased vapor density. The powerful battery and hybrid heating is able to heat your material quickly enough to get a good draw within 30 to 40 seconds. On a single load you will be able to get around 10 solid draws.
The hybrid heating that the Fog vaporizer uses allows for your material to be heated evenly and also quickly. One area where 100% convection vaporizers fall short at times is the length of time you must wait before getting a good draw. The hybrid heating that encompasses both convection and conduction allows for this problem to be addressed while still getting smooth flavorful vapor.
The Fog is 80% convection and 20% conduction at the start of your session and likely a smaller gap for longer sessions. If you vape for around 10 minutes the heat transfer to the oven will eventually result in a higher conduction percentage.
How to achieve the smoothest draw
XVape has created a special fitting attachment that allows you to use the Fog with a recycler (water piece). To achieve a cooler smoother hit you can filter your vapor through water filtration and ice. The combination of primarily convection heating with water and ice creates a great tasting cool hit.
XVape Fog Video Review
Battery and Portability
The XVape Fog vaporizer uses a powerful 2600 mAh removeable battery. Removable batteries extend the life of your vaporizer and limits the amount of time you can vape only by how many batteries you have. The Fog communicates the remaining battery life through the LED light located around the micro USB charging slot.
Compact and durable are two of the key factors that make the XVape Fog a great portable unit. The thick anodized housing allows you to bring this vape on your travels without having to be super delicate with it. You can pick up additional Samsung 18650 batteries for very cheap online.
Ease of Use
Taking advantage of the popular one button design, the Fog is a very straightforward vaporizer to use. To load the Fog you flip open the magnetic mouthpiece giving you access to the loading chamber. You load dry herb material directly into it and use the extract pad for concentrates.
The Fog is activated and deactivated by pressing the power button three times in a row. The light above the micro-USB port displays your remaining battery life - Green: Full, Purple: Medium, Red: Low. The Fog's temperature can be changed by holding down the power button; the five-light LED gauge displays your current temp level.
Pros of the XVape Fog Vaporizer
- Convection hybrid heating
- Strong build
- Can be used while charging
- Removable/replaceable battery
- Affordable for the performance
- Attachments for water pieces
Cons of the XVape Fog Vaporizer
- No app connectivity
- Not precision range temperature (pre-set temp options)
Final Thoughts and Where To Buy the XVape Fog Vaporizer
Considering the Fog falls into the vaporizers under 200 category with a low price tag of around $150 - it is one of the cheaper convection vaporizers available. XVape is a well established vaporizer company that has a number of highly recommended products.

Boundless Tera Vaporizer – Powerful Convection Heat Sink
The Boundless Tera vaporizer is a new portable dry herb vaporizer that uses convection heating to vape your loose leaf material. The Tera has a few features that are only available in a handful of other devices. The Tera is the 3rd vaporizer model from Boundless with the other two being the Boundless CFC and Boundless CFX. Convection vaporizers are growing in popularity because of their ability to heat material more evenly and efficiently. In this article we will touch on the new features of the Boundless Tera and how it looks against the best portable dry herb vaporizers in the industry.

Boundless Tera Vaporizer Features
Convection Heating
The new Boundless Tera uses convection heating to heat dry herb materials. Convection heating is becoming more important to people who are making their first vaporizer purchase. The alternative is to get a vaporizer that uses a form of conduction heating. Conduction is where you material is heated through surface touch while convection heating is through the pathway that hot air is forced through. Convection heating is something that will make the Tera vaporizer one of the more favorable options on people's lists.
Heat Sink Chamber
A heat sink is something that we have only seen in one other portable vaporizer. The Ghost MV1 is a new innovative vaporizer that was also released in 2017. The Ghost MV1 uses a heat sink as well. In addition to using a heat sink the Boundless Tera vaporizer looks like it may also be offered with a glass mouthpiece. The combination of a glass mouthpiece and a heat sink will make for a smooth cooled down hit. The Ghost MV1 vaporizer uses this combo and it seems to work very well. The heat sink chamber will use rings that heat up
Wide Range Precise Temperature
Magnetic Mouthpiece
Precision temperature is a feature that makes a vaporizers feel more personal. Using preset temperatures restricts you from finding the setting that works best for you and the strain of material you like to use. The Boundless Tera allows you to choose between a wide temperature range to 1 degree of precision.
Magnetic components are growing in popularity and for good reason. Using magnets allows you to quickly reload the chamber and makes device maintenance very easy. Vaporizers that use twist on screw style components tend to get material stuck in them and also take longer to take off and put back in place.
Dual External Batteries
A feature I personally like is the option to use extra batteries. The Tera not only uses external batteries but it uses two very powerful ones. If you are looking for a vaporizer that will be able to last for a long time, the Tera will do this.
The Tera vaporizer using 2 powerful batteries is also good for another reason. With the power that the Tera has under the hood it is able to reach a good vaping temperature much faster then some of the other convection vaporizers on the market.
Similar Vaporizers / Competition
The main competitors to the Boundless Tera will be the other convection devices. The current top convection vaporizers are the Mighty and Crafty, the Utillian 721, and the Ghost MV1.
How Much is the Tera Vaporizer
Boundless Tera is looking like it will be around the $200 mark. The devices we compared the Tera to in this article are all priced well over the $250 mark. At around $200 the Tera is priced competitively and should do pretty well.
Build Quality
Build quality of Boundless vaporizers is above average. The Tera vaporizer model will also be of high quality materials. The heat sink itself is aluminum, the mouthpiece is magnetic, and we have heard their will also be a glass version. The batteries as we have mentioned are two powerful external cells.
Vapor Quality
We are currently unable to touch on the vapor quality of the Boundless Tera. When we have had some more insight into the performance of the Tera we will update this section. Convection vaporizers are known to be more flavorful and heat materials more evenly. We hope that the Tera can meet our expectations and optimize the material placed in its oven.
When and Where Can You Get the Tera Vaporizer
The Tera vaporizer by Boundless is to be released any day now. You will be able to get the Tera vaporizer online here.

IQOS Vaporizer – Quit Smoking Device
A new type of vaporizer called the IQOS vaporizer has been designed that is a cross between a vaporizer and a cigarette. The IQOS vaporizes inserts that have actual dried tobacco in them which removes the need for combustion. If you are new to vaporizers you may find it helpful to read our comprehensive vaporizer guide to learn what type of device might be be suited for your needs. To learn more about the IQOS vaporizer continue reading our review article below.
What is the IQOS Vaporizer and How Does It Work
The IQOS vaporizer is an interesting concept that will definitely cater to some people more than others. It is not a 'vape' since vapes are designed to vape liquids and its not a normal vaporizer with a oven chamber that you load in your own dry herbs, tobacco, or concentrates either. The IQOS is designed to work specifically with tobacco inserts that look very similar to a normal cigarette. We can't say that the IQOS is a healthier alternative legally but without using combustion one can assume that less harmful chemicals are extracted from the material being heated.
Components and Build Quality
Looking at the build quality of the IQOS tobacco insert system it is pretty well made. The system includes the charging box, the battery and heating system, and the inserts that go into it.
To use the IQOS you take one of the cigarette style inserts and you place it into the top of the battery heating mod. The insert stick out a bit and this is the part where you place your lips on and it acts as a mouthpiece. This cigarette like insert feels like the filter does with a normal cigarette. I think this was an important feel to accomplish in the product to help people who are having difficulty quitting smoking. The more the entire process resembles a traditional smoking experience the easier and more natural it will be for some people to commit to the change and enjoy the experience.
The IQOS vaporizer is a simple easy to use device that maintains a temperature of around 350°C and automatically turns off after 6 minutes of use. You can turn it back on to continue using it if your session is not complete. You will be able to continue inhaling until the taste and vapor is no longer present.
IQOS Battery and Portability
The battery that is built into the actual mod and heating chamber is pretty small and will likely only get teh average user about 1 session, at which time you will need to place it back into the larger part of the system which will charge it back up for another session. The bigger battery box is able to recharge the smaller mod/heating chamber about 20 times before it itself needs to be recharged.
IQOS is about the same size as a pack of cigarettes and a lighter so ultimately you are carrying the same sized dimensions around with you. If you know that you will only be needing one insert than you can just carry the mod/heating chamber with you, but the insert I think should really only be put in place before use or it could get damaged.
Overall Thoughts on the IQOS Vaporizer Kit
The IQOS vaporizer is an interesting concept and one that I think will benefit some people more than others. Overall the build quality is pretty good and the draws you get are very similar to that of a traditional cigarette. Having said that, I personally am a fan of normal vaporizers since they can be used for a much longer period of time and do not require inserts nor a external battery charging system. Regular dry herb vaporizers can be used with tobacco leaf already, so this might be something worth looking into.
If you are wanting to check out some of the newest vaporizers you can read our article on that here. One of the most popular vaporizers on the market is the PAX brand of portable vaporizers.
