The Best Portable Dry Herb Vapes RIGHT NOW

This week on our LIVE show, we’re revising our best portable vaporizer list and considering a few potential additions. Tune in LIVE to see how the LimeLight Frolic, Pax Flow, Healthy Rips Rogue, and Dynavap G3 fit into the Best Portable Vapes of 2025.

We go live at 6pm PST. 8/15.

We won’t fluff up this list with all the options and variations. These are the best portable dry herb vaporizers available. Troy and Jerry have over 1000 vapes combined, and they’ve tested every weed vape known to man.

We hold no punches. Our opinions are not for sale.
These vapes are better than the rest, and we can prove it.

Watch the full Troy and Jerry video, or see the full breakdown of each vape below.

#1 Best Portable Vape: TinyMight 2

Leading off our list of the six best portable dry herb vapes is the Tinymight 2. This vape absolutely smacks and is most likely the hardest hitter on this list (but it’s close). It’s expensive, at $349, and the Purple Heart will set you back $425.

This little beast is a full convection vape with superb taste and efficiency. It has Session and On-demand modes with a lightning-fast heat-up time. Battery life is decent, but is mitigated by a removable 18650 cell. The clouds the Tinymight 2 can chuck out with just a single 18650 battery are impressive. Hits are fast and full-bodied. This is the first vape I grab when I want the strongest portable vapor possible.

We love this vape because it checks all the boxes and fits in the palm of your hand. It’s massively powerful and wickedly flavorful. The Tinymight 2 is the perfect vape for many.

420vapezone ranks the Tinymight 4th on its Best Portable Vapes list, but agrees that it’s very much capable of holding the #1 position. It’s a solid vape that is hard to beat.

Jerry’s take: This is still my #1 pocket powerhouse. Nothing this strong is this pocketable. I prefer the purpleheart version because it’s even more beautiful, and I love the included beaded stem.

Troy’s take: TM2 is powerful and tasty. It has more power and flavor potential than the Frolic, but it’s more effort to use and maintain. This vape is great for tinkerers.

#2 Best Vape – The Venty

The Storz & Bickel Venty earns the 2nd seat on our Best Dry Herb Vaporizer list because it has the fluffiest vapor, the most open airflow, and an impressive battery. The Venty will also set you back quite a bit ($399 before code), but it sets a new standard in airflow for a portable dry herb vape. It’s named the Venty for its 20-second heat-up time and the 20 liters per minute (lpm) air flow. You may not know what 20 lpm feels like, but it’s safe to say this vape eliminates the work most vapes require to produce vapor.

The Venty air flow is two to three times more open than any other portable vape, and it feels effortless to get high. A vape with tight airflow can feel like you’re sucking a golf ball through a water hose. But the Venty feels like you’re just breathing vapor. A new bar has been set – good luck to anyone who tries to follow!

The Venty offers a luxurious vaping experience and a simple interface. This vape is Troy’s most carried and most used portable vape, and #1 on his list. See his Venty Review to understand why he rates it so high.

It’s like a portable Volcano vaporizer. Effortless, fluffy, fun.

Jerry’s take: The wide open air flow on this vape still blows my mind. Even the Frolic, which is rated more open, doesn’t feel like it. The Venty is Storz & Bickel bliss, and the only thing I’d do is make it smaller.

Troy’s take: The Venty is still my #1 most carried portable vaporizer. Its effortless interface makes it easy to medicate without missing a moment. The vapor from the Venty is so fluffy and flavorful, everyone I share it with loves it.

#3 Arizer Solo 3 – Best Flavor

Arizer surprised us all with the release of the Solo 3 (save 20% with code “troyandjerry20”), not just because it came out right after the Solo 2 MAX, but also for its enhancements. Arizer gave us what we’ve wanted for years – a bigger bowl and a faster, more powerful heater. Although it works with the original Solo stems as well as its XL stems, the Solo 3 retains that Arizer taste, even if the sessions are much faster.

The Solo 3 features a robust hybrid heating system that combines both convection and conduction heaters for intense, quick sessions that can last over an hour. It heats up so fast that it now comes with an On-demand mode in addition to the standard session mode. Arizer still avoids replaceable batteries, but the battery life makes up for it. The Solo 3 can go for well over an hour of runtime and deliver more sessions than you can handle in a day.

The $240 Solo 3 bundle includes two glass stem mouthpieces and two 14mm glass water pipe adapters. It’s an exceptional value that delivers remarkable performance and the purest of flavors. The Solo 3 has blown us both away.

Troy ranks the Arizer Solo 3 as his #2 Best Vapes List on 420vapezone.com.

Jerry’s take: Finally, an Arizer portable with punch! I use the XL bowl almost exclusively, and love the early taste with the late power. It’s one of the largest portable vapes I own, but this combo of power and price makes it one of the best values on this list.

Troy’s take: The Solo 3 is hard to beat! It’s the perfect vaporizer for someone who insists on owning only one vaporizer. This vape does it all – it’s a portable powerhouse that works on a bong. It even comes with a water pipe adapter!

#4 Limelight Frolic – New Kid on the Block

The Frolic from Limelight debuts at #4, and might be destined for the top of this list. It has dominated our reach tests since we got it. Imagine TinyMight 2 powered with a Storz & Bickel build and Venty air flow. Yeah, this thing punches and really satisfies any herbal appetite! Full digital controls are located on the bottom of the vape, which goes perfectly with my bubbler, and it packs a replaceable 21700 battery to go along with a USB-C charge port.

Limelight is new to the dry herb scene, and this is their first offering, and that might be the only reason the Frolic isn’t higher up on the list. We’ll give it some time to prove itself for the long haul, but this feels like a big hit! Get ready to break out your wallet, because this puppy is $400.

Jerry’s take: The Frolic was one of my favorite portables, even with early adopter pains. But those have already been worked out, and now it’s one of the few portables I grab throughout the week. It hits like a TinyMight 2, but with Storz & Bickel accuracy. This is a spectacular vape that is easy to recommend!

Troy’s take: The Frolic is stealing my heart! As the early adopter wrinkles are ironed out, so are all the other vaporizers on my reach list! This vape has the airflow of the Venty with the power of the Tinymight 2. It heats up fast and slaps harder than any other battery-powered portable. It’s not quite as easy to use as the S&B devices, but the vapor potency surpasses them.

#5 Tafee Bowle Series 2 – Best Vapor

The Tafee Bowle Series II (use code “troyandjerry” for a free Stubby Stem with purchase) might be the finest portable vaporizer I’ve ever used. The heat-up time is instant, and the precision convection heat delivers consistent, flavorful hits that can leave a mark on your attitude! Don’t get hung up on the cup.

The cup has no vaporizer function whatsoever. It simply holds your drink. Give it a shot and use the two together, and you just might fall in love with this functionality! But even if you don’t like it, remove the cup and enjoy a world-class vaporizer. This vape does what we’ve wanted for years…don’t pass it by because of the cup!

The Tafee Bowle 2 makes the top of the best vapes list because its vapor is incredible, and its battery is impressive.

The Bowle 2 will serve for several days, providing all-day usage. That’s ~40 bowls per charge!

Jerry’s take: A true on-demand vaporizer that trumps all the rest. The Bowle is literally ready to hit within one second. The vapor is stellar – flavorful, fluffy, and packs a punch. People might get hung up on the form factor, but never the vapor!

Troy’s take: This vaporizer is a fantastic demonstration of modern vape tech. The Bowle 2 has the fastest heat-up and quickest time-to-vapor available. If you can get over the cup, this vaporizer offers a remarkable vaping experience.

#6 The POTV Lobo – Great Budget Vape

The POTV Lobo is easily the most affordable vape on this list, and for that reason alone requires consideration. But that’s not all…it hits like a tank! For just $159, the Lobo brings a strong punch to go along with a ton of style and versatility. Grab it in classic black, a striking electric blue, or a deep forest green.

The Lobo has earned the 5th position on this Best Portable Vapes list for its superb value and feature-rich performance.

The Lobo feature set is outstanding. To go along with punchy, tasty vapor, it has a removable 18650 battery, a low-maintenance design, and a glass attachment that connects to different stems, bubblers, and bongs. Start a vape with a dry stem and finish it on a bong in the same session without ever missing a beat.

Jerry consulted on the design of this vape, so he’s biased. Pay attention to what Troy says here, too! Troy ranks it #5 on his list of best portable vapes as well. It’s an easy vape to recommend, especially to beginners. The lobo offers a lot of bang for very little buck.
See Troy’s Lobo Review for more info

Jerry’s take: If you want dense, punchy vapor without spending $400, this is where you start. The vapor is potent, even with little sips. Longer rips at higher temps can leave you in a daze, but you’ll want a Gordito mini-bubbler or a water pipe adapter combined with your favorite bubbler to take it down. Best bang-for-your-buck in the face-melting category.

Troy’s take: The Lobo raised the bar for budget vapes. It’s a great little vape with a plethora of accessories. PotV offers the best guarantee in the game with this vape, too.

#7 Healthy Rips Rogue 2 – A Refined Classic

The Rogue 2 from Healthy Rips offers a very refined experience, building on more than five other vapes before it. It feels great in the hand, the controls are simple and complete, and the vapor is spot on. If you ever wanted more from your Fury or ONE, this vape does it with a bigger bowl that really satisfies.

The Rogue 2 moves up a spot above the Lobo on this list, depending on who you talk to. Troy prefers the Rogue because it really rewards longer hits with big punch and excellent taste. As Jerry said, the second hit off the Rogue 2 is righteous. Jerry prefers the Lobo because it delivers a stronger punch on shorter hits, at the expense of some flavor (and he’s biased). The Rogue 2 is a few bucks less at $139, and is a solid choice for anyone!

Jerry’s take: You can’t go wrong with this vape. It’s like a bigger ONE with a bigger bowl, better battery life, and a gorgeous outer shell. Super easy to use and share, and if you take big, long rips, this vape rewards!

Troy’s take: I like the Rogue 2 a lot. It feels better in my pocket than the Lobo, and it packs just as much punch. Their accessories aren’t as nice as the PotV glass lineup, but I usually use the stock mouthpiece on these vapes.

#8 Dynavap HyperDyn – Best Butane Vape

DynaVap listened and finally gave us a vapcap with a bigger bowl and massive punch! Introducing the HyperDyn with a hulky cap to heat that gigantic payload. The entire vape is made from titanium to keep the weight down and the cool-down time short. This is easily my favorite vapcap!

The bowl is more than twice the size of an original DynaVap, yet it doesn’t take much longer to heat up. I was also impressed with how quickly the cap cooled down after use. But the best feature is the vapor! This bigger bowl with a longer heat-up time smashes like no other. For the last couple of years, every new vapcap to come out was my new favorite, and the HyperDyn is no exception. Only this time around it feels like it’s gonna stick!

When it comes to butane vapes, there are several excellent options to choose from. Troy prefers the Stunner over the Hyperdyn and ranks the HyperDyn #13th on his list.

Jerry’s take: I think DynaVap nailed the HyperDyn. There are a number of other DynaVap-style vapes out there that tackle bigger hits and bigger payloads, but they all require a significantly larger torch and much longer heat-up and cool-down times. The HyperDyn brings the bigger experience, but stays true to the DynaVap ritual with the standard torch and a faster cool-down time that doesn’t destroy the portability.

Troy’s take: HyperDyn is a fun “Jumbo-Sized” Dynavap experience. The butane stick-vape space is evolving and the HyperDyn is an excellent option for those not looking for the heavy convection from ball vapes.

#9 – Dynavap G3 – King of the Budgets

The Dynavap G3 has set the bar for budget vapes. The G3 comes with a lighter and metal travel case for just $35! Best of all, there is no sacrifice in performance. The bowl is smaller than typical Dynavaps, but the hits are strong and tasty. The all-glass stem is perfect for flavor without roast.

The stem is a little shorter than most Dynavaps, but the ritual remains the same. Fire up the lighter, twirl the cap in the flame, and wait for the click. The lighter has a red flame that is easier to see in the day light. We really can’t see any reason not to own this vape!

Jerry’s take: The G3 might be DynaVap’s greatest accomplishment – a full vaporizer kit that hits great for only $35. I wouldn’t pick this DynaVap as a daily driver if I could afford a different model, but at this price point I have no reservations about the risk/reward payout for any user. Everyone should get this!

Troy’s take: This is my new favorite Dynavap. It’s so cheap, and so much more flavorful than the rest of their lineup. This is a great budget vape for beginners and a must-have vape for growers to experience their terpenes.
