Dry Herb Vaporizers

A dry herb vaporizer heats dried botanicals — chamomile, lavender, mint, eucalyptus and other herbal blends — to a temperature that releases their aroma and active compounds without burning the plant. No smoke, no combustion, no ash. Just clean vapour.

We're building this range from the ground up. You'll find our current devices below, with more brands and price tiers landing as we expand.

How to choose a dry herb vaporizer

Three things actually matter when picking a device. Most other specs are noise.

Form factor. Portables fit in a pocket and run on battery — fine for nearly everyone. Desktops plug into the mains, deliver denser vapour, and last decades, but they're a commitment of space and cash. Pen-style devices are the most discreet but tend to compromise on heating quality. If you're new to this, a portable is the safe pick.

Heating method. Conduction (the herb sits on a hot surface) heats fast and is cheaper to build, which is why most sub-£100 devices use it. Convection (hot air passes through the herb) tastes cleaner and uses material more efficiently, but pushes the price up. Hybrid devices use both and are the gold standard — Storz & Bickel, Mighty+, that tier.

Price tier. Under £50 is entry-level conduction territory. £100-200 gets you proper convection and longer battery life. £300-700 is desktop and connoisseur portable territory — the Volcanos and Mighties of the world.

We'll cover the brand-by-brand breakdown as the range grows. For now, the Herb Pro is a sensible starting point if you're trying dry herb vaping for the first time.

Accessories that actually matter

Three things make any dry herb vaporizer work properly:

A grinder. Coarse grind = uneven heating. A £10-20 four-piece grinder is non-negotiable.
Storage. Herbs go stale fast. An airtight glass jar costs nothing and protects what you load.
A cleaning kit. Isopropyl alcohol, cotton swabs, and a stiff brush. Five minutes every few sessions keeps the chamber tasting clean.

We'll be linking to grinders and cleaning supplies as those collections come online.

Compliance and what's in the box

Dry herb vaporizers are legal to own and use in the UK as devices. Every vape we list is supplied empty — they don't contain nicotine, CBD or THC. What you choose to vaporise in them is your responsibility. Use legal herbs only.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a dry herb vaporizer and an e-cigarette?

An e-cigarette heats e-liquid — a mix of propylene glycol, vegetable glycerine, flavouring and (usually) nicotine. A dry herb vaporizer heats actual plant material below its combustion point, releasing aromatic compounds as vapour. Different device, different physics, different purpose.

Are dry herb vaporizers legal in the UK?

Yes. The devices are legal to buy, own and use. The legality of what you choose to vaporise in them is a separate question — only legal herbs and aromatherapy blends should be used.

What can I put in a dry herb vaporizer?

Most dried botanicals work — chamomile, lavender, mint, peppermint, eucalyptus, lemon balm. The herb needs to be dry but not bone-dry, and ground to a consistent medium-fine texture for proper heating.

Conduction or convection — which should I get?

If budget's tight or you're new, conduction is fine. If you care about flavour purity and herb efficiency, save for convection or hybrid. Hybrid is the strongest all-rounder if you can stretch to it.

How often do I need to clean it?

Brush the chamber every four to six sessions. Deep clean with isopropyl alcohol every twenty to thirty sessions. A neglected chamber tastes burnt and the heating element wears out faster.

How long do these devices last?

A decent portable should give you three to five years of daily use. Desktop units like the Volcano routinely run twenty years plus. Cheap pens — the £15 Amazon kind — often die inside six months. The Herb Pro at £35 sits in the middle: built to last with reasonable care, but it's not a Volcano.

What temperature should I vaporise at?

Most herbs sit between 160°C and 220°C. Lower temperatures preserve flavour, higher temperatures produce denser vapour. Start at 180°C if you're unsure and adjust from there.
