The better question in 2018 is should you buy between these three very reliable cannabis vaporizers:
• The G Pen Elite, the best budget cannabis vaporizer under $150
• Trusty Pax 2 for $150, which fixes basically all of the Pax 1 issues
• Upgrade to the faster Pax 3 for $250 which adds more bells and whistles like Bluetooth/app controls
Either way you can’t go wrong with any of these recommended vapes for dry herb.

Hi, I’m new to the vapor world and I’ve been researching portable vaporizers for some time now. I think this is the most informative site that I have come across yet. I have narrowed it down to 2, the Pax and the Magic-Flight Launch Box. I’m leaning more towards the MFLB because of its great reviews, the price, and also because you don’t have to put much in it, I really don’t smoke much so I don’t need a vaporizer with a large chamber like the Pax, (not to mention the cost) although I do find the design of the Pax is a lot better.Hi Vape Curious, thanks for a great question. Both Pax and Magic Flight Launch Box have their own strengths and drawbacks, here’s a quick highlight of the differences: If you like big hits then Pax is a better choice due to the large chamber and how the oven heating element works, the herb is heated on 5 sides so it uses more herb, and faster, but the hits are bigger. If you want to save herb Magic Flight is the way to go but it requires a little practice with your inhale technique. However, once you figure out how to take hits very slowly and with a tiny amount of suction, you’ll get great pulls and hits that make you cough and blow white smoke. It’s not like a bong rip, but it’s very strong. If you decide on the MFLB route, I highly recommend two extras:
