DarkSide Vapes E-Clipse Vaporizer with dry herb

When we talk about vaporizers in general, many types of brands, models, and modalities may spring to mind. There are vaporizers that specialize in one material or another, desktop vapes that are not easily portable, combustion vapes which are a whole other animal, and 3 in 1 vapes which can do it all.

Narrowing it down to the dry herb vaping modality, we can come to understand just how unique this type of style is in comparison to all the other styles by observing its tendencies. Here we will be discussing the portable version of dry herb vaporization and drawing valuable comparisons.

It is important to keep in mind that while most of these observations are as objective as possible, the choice will ultimately be yours to pursue by considering these observations. And because we here at Darkside Vapes specialize in dry herb vaporizers, you can be assured that we know just what we are talking about!

How Do Dry Herb Vapes Stack Up Against Wax Vapes?

While both are comparable in terms of vapor production, most portable dry herb vaporizers come with a fixed chamber attached to the body of the unit that cannot be removed, unlike a wax atomizer for example. The reason for this is because it seems to be unnecessary when compared to wax, which does require a certain amount of maintenance and coil replacement from time to time.

In terms of efficiency, both excel in providing the user with a tailored experience, though it must be noted that dry herb vapes take up much more power in their batteries than wax vapes do because of their functionality. Dry herb vapes usually come with precision temperature control versus a preset dial.

What About Oil and E-Juice Vapes?

There is no denying that while a dry herb vape can deliver in terms of efficiency, there is no comparison in vapor production to an e-juice vape, which can also accommodate oil concentrates.

The vapor produced from one of these is massive by comparison, and while dry herb vapes are well endowed to provide the user with a tailored experience, box mod e-juice and oil vapes are the king of vapor production. If you have ever seen someone vape a massive cloud, chances are they were vaping e-juice or oil of some kind.

Nonetheless, dry herb vapes excel in the stealth department, because just like smoke, massive clouds tend to be more noticeable. Dry herb vapes are preferable in many ways to any other modality because of its user-friendliness and ability to be tailored to one’s preferences.

Do Dry Herb Vapes Last as Long as Other Vapes?

While maintaining the integrity of your vaporizer through regular care and proper charging, the power needed to make a dry herb vape is significantly more when compared to other vapes.

Because of this, and depending on your vaping habits, it is not uncommon to charge a dry herb vape once a day, perhaps more. That is not to say that other vapes are more capable, only that dry herb vapes batteries are much more powerful out of necessity.

The best method to reduce the likelihood of encountering a dead session on the go is to be mindful of your vaping times and only take hits when you really want them, and then turn the unit off. This will prolong the life of your battery significantly.

Are Dry Herb Vapes Better Than Wax or Oil?

That answer depends largely on what it is you are looking for in a vaporizer. We find that dry herb vapes are absolutely perfect for those looking to either start out in the vaping world, or those transitioning from smoking to vaping.

Dry herb connoisseurs and medical patients also comprise a large part of the vaping community, as dry herbs offer more in the way of complex flavor profiles and a more natural and gentle experience. Ideal for beginners alike, dry herb vapes put the control in your hands by offering the user full temperature control.

Keep in mind that the vapors produced by a dry herb vape will not compare to those brought on by an e-juice or oil vape pen. In our opinion however, we feel that vapes like E-CLIPSE, Titan 1, and Titan 2 are some of the best dry herb vaporizers on the market!
