Stick Vape Roundup – Fingerheld Dry Herb Vaporizers
Stick Vapes are a class of dry herb vaporizer easily identifiable by their long, slender, stick-like shape. These vaporizers look and feel familiar because many traditional smoking methods are also stick-shaped – like joints and blunts.

History of Stick Vapes
We can’t pinpoint the exact start of this classification, as the format predates us. Even a traditional joint is considered a vaporizer, and it’s stick-shaped!
Our history begins with the Dynavap. This is our “original” stick vape, simply because it’s the first portable dry herb vaporizer of its type that actually works well. The Dynavap Vapcap vaporizer set the bar for analog portable dry herb vaporizers, and it was both the target and source of inspiration for an entire new classification.
Dynavap evolved its vaporizer into an “engine” and “stem” system that fostered a community of 3rd-party accessory makers. Advanced new cooling stems for the Dynavap sparked competition and increased awareness of the growing platform of high-performance, low-cost vaporizers.
Years later, the most successful Dynavap stem makers now have their own line of stick vapes!

Vestratto Anvil & Tornado
The Vestratto Anvil was one of the earliest spin-offs. The aptly named Anvil is a heavy-hitting vaporizer with a different approach to heating and extraction.
The Anvil applies heavy conduction with the perfect mix of convection to produce super stoney effects. The Tornado takes the approach one step further, heating the vapor path and serving as a secondary atomizer. What’s lost in flavor is gained in sedation and stoney effects.
The updated Anvil and Tornado are in our 2026 vape coverage plans.
Madheaters Tempest 2
The Tempest 2 is one of the latest and greatest vapes on this page. We’ve been testing it for a few weeks now and it’s climbing the ranks of our favorites.
Tempest 2 is a ball vape designed for use with an induction heater. It can be heated with a torch, too, but it really shines with induction heating.
Check out our Tempest 2 coverage to learn more.
MGVS Stunner
The Stunner is another heavy hitter. This vaporizer utilizes balls in its heater to achieve unrivaled convection power.
The Stunner hits harder and heats up faster than the others on this page, but using it is a bit more intuitive and primal. While other stick vapes have a clicking mechanism or a visual indicator to aid heating, the Stunner has none.
Skilled Stunner users rely on the color of the torch flame as a signal that their vape is hot enough to use. When the flame turns from blue to orange, it’s ready to hit.
The Stunner is less refined than the other stick vapes, but it’s more affordable and easy to customize, too.
Simrell “Relli” Vaporizer
Austyn Simrell of the Simrell Collection is a maker of high-performance, high-class Dynavap stems and accessories. His new vaporizer delivers the familiar Dynavap user experience with more impactful, flavorful vapor.
The Simrell Vaporizer offers variations in vapor with minimal adjustments of the heating technique. Aim high for a mostly convection vapor experience, or aim low to add more radiant conduction heat.
This vape works great with a torch or an induction heater.

What’s the Best Stick Vape?
This classification of vaporizers is highly subjective and controversial. We’re not looking for fanboisms, but we were hoping you could tell us which finger-held vape is your favorite, and why.
This list will evolve; it’s OK if your opinions change, too.
