Choosing the right vaporizer can feel overwhelming with so many options. To make things simple, we organize our reviews into three main sections: portable, desktop, and 510/concentrates. Each type offers a different experience, and our goal is to help you find the one that fits your lifestyle and preferences. While we review all types, our primary focus has always been on herbal vaporizers for dry herbs, since they deliver the smoothest and most natural vaporization experience.
 
Portable vaporizers are battery-powered and made for use on the go. They’re the most popular category since they can be used anywhere, unlike desktops that require an outlet. While portables may lack features like fans or bag filling, they make up for it with freedom and convenience. Technology has come a long way, and today you can get a high-end portable vaporizer experience at a reasonable price.

Desktop vaporizers are the most powerful vaporizers available. Their only real drawback is size — they plug into the wall and are less portable. In exchange, they offer larger chambers, more vapor, features like bag filling, and unmatched long-term reliability. We recommend that medical users and serious enthusiasts keep at least one desktop vaporizer wherever they consume most often.

510 batteries are newer to the market but have quickly become a dominant choice. They’re ultra-portable, simple to use, heat quickly, and are very affordable. While they don’t provide the same session quality as herbal vaporizers, they excel for quick, discreet vapor on demand.

The Ascent itself is an attractive unit and feels pretty solid. It’s not a stealth unit but is compact and a reasonable size; however, hiding it would be difficult. For us personally, stealth isn’t a very important feature in a vaporizer so that's fine with us. Considering you get a 3 hour battery and a larger sized bowl, we consider that good compensation for it being a bit larger unit than some of the other portables out there. For clients that really need as compact or stealthly as possible check our compact / stealth category on our website.

The display and buttons are really simple, so is loading the bowl. For ease of use, the Ascent does get top marks. We are definitely impressed with its simplicity while still offering good performance. 

Vapor production was solid, for a portable we are happy. We didn't think it tasted great, it merely tasted okay. We actually thought the glass would help more taste wise but it didn't. Since it didn't have the pure glass taste, we'd prefer a non breakable easily replaceable mouthpiece but we do understand there are some users that only want to inhale from glass.

The battery life is very good, 3+ hours, possibly the Ascents best feature. Unless you are using your Ascent excessively, you won't run out of battery between charges.

We can't comment on its reliability yet but we assume after all the delays and 5 months on the market, they have everything figured out at this stage.

Overall, the Ascent was worth the wait for us, it is no question a really good portable vaporizer. Easy to use, reasonable price, good retail kit, solid vapor production and a long lasting battery.

All our recommended herbal vaporizers include manual or digital temperature control. This allows them to be used with a wide variety of plants and ensures they don’t reach combustion temperatures when used correctly. We believe temperature control is the most important feature in a true vaporizer. Our goal is to offer devices that are both effective and safe.

510 batteries use voltage settings instead of temperature control. We recommend starting at the lowest setting that still produces satisfying vapor. The farther you stay from combustion, the better your vapor quality and overall experience will be.
