I’m looking to get into a dry herb vape as a better alternative to prerolls. All I see online is people lavishing praise on them and real studies saying they have health benefits. Plus buying straight flower and grinding is cheaper.
Do you use one and if so do you have a reco? I’ve been leaning towards the g pen elite for a not astronomical price but decent looking portable build.


NEVER buy a vape with an integrated battery. It’s idiotic on so many levels, and companies doing it should go under.
Battery not charged? Wait for a few hours instead of putting in a full one
Battery lasts a session after a year? Best hope you can take apart the device and solder in a new one
USBC port died, as is highly likely? Pray to find someone willing to replace it
What is your budget?
Starry V4 is the best budget portable I’ve used so far, and sees the most use from me even though I have multiple times more expensive convection vapes.
Terpcicle is by far the best budget desktop.
You’ve already got people suggesting dynavaps. Don’t listen to them, it’s an overpriced and overhyped piece of crap. It sort of made sense to buy it almost 10 years ago, but nowadays you have far better and cheaper options like the starry.

I’m not buying that at all…
First of all, there’s a wide range of DHVs sold with removable 18650s that are made by Western manufacturers
Arizer, tinymight, davinci, potv, etc.
Hell, even Chinese manufacturers like xlux/xmax have a separately registered company in the USA, and all of their products have replaceable batteries.
Secondly, nic vape box mods draw at least 2-3 times more amps and are still sold with removable batteries.

That standard covers batteries, not the devices that use them…
Also it doesn’t even cover the 18650s themselves since they usually have <5g of lithium in them.
It’s literally just a loophole for the manufacturers: if the users can’t replace batteries, you don’t need to do safety testing for that scenario
Ah. I forgot why I never comment around here. Thanks for reminding me.
I like what they are saying. It’s cool to know shit. But the way they are saying it makes ya feel like you couldn’t have an opinion.
My vape just has a 18650 battery. You charge with USB-C or just open the lid and exchange the battery for a charged one, like you’d do with a flashlight.
Totally agree. But my pax lasted for 5+years and still got decent battery. Sure is annoying if I forget to charge it. But I don’t use it daily se there’s that.
