hey there, guys. it's max, here, from australianvaporizers, and today i'm going to be briefly outlining a few points that could help youchoose a portable vaporizer. my first point to bring up, and it's probably my most importantpoint really, is you need to be discerning about whether you actually need a portablevaporizer. for starters, if you're going to be using it every single day, and you're reallygoing to be smashing the thing, i would definitely suggest at least having a look at some ofour home units. some of our plug-in desktop vapes. they tend to be a lot easier to use.they tend to be a bit more reliable as well. they also offer better cooling capacity aswell, so the vapor's going to be a little bit more pleasant on your lungs.
those are a couple of the reasons why youwould potentially go for a home unit instead of a portable vape, but if you need to beusing this thing on the go most of the time, if you need it be discrete, if you need itto heat up quickly, and if you're not going to be using it terribly frequently then thereare a lot of good options on the market. it's just a matter of going through them, and itcan be quite overwhelming sometimes because there are so many options these days. generally speaking, there are few factorsthat you should be considering when you're purchasing a portable. the first of whichis vapor production. this is very important, and obviously a high end unit like the mighty by storzand bickel is going to produce a lot more
vapor for the amount of material you put inthere then, say, a magic flight launch box, which is a budget line vaporizer. the next factor you should be looking at iseast of maintenance. i cannot begin to describe how important this one is. simply put, ifyour unit is easy to clean it's going to last a lot longer for you. generally speaking,the smaller units like the original pax are going to be pretty tricky to maintain, whereasthe larger like the arizer solo are going to be a lot easier. that brings me to the next factor, which issize. honestly, i would recommend going for as big of a unit as you can stand. typicallythe smaller units are a little bit less reliable.
they have less battery life, and they haveless cooling capacity as well, so they're going to be harsher on your lungs. now, the next factor you should be lookingat is battery life. obviously this is fairly important for most people. as i just mentionedit relates fairly directly to the size of the unit. generally speaking, the bigger unitshave better battery life, and the smaller, more pocket friendly units will have lessbattery life. just to give a couple of examples, we've got the magic flight launch box here,which is a pocket friendly portable. this one's going to give you around 1 to 3 usesper battery, per charge, and that's being fairly generous. whereas the bigger portables,like the arizer solo are going to give you
more like 4 to 6 sessions per charge, so that'saround 60 minutes of continuous use. now, the next factor is durability. this mayor may not be important to you depending on your own situation. generally speaking, theunits that are smaller, lighter, and contain less glass in their construction are goingto be more durable. the magic flight launch box with an acrylic stem is going to be themost durable vape that you can buy, but you're going to trade off a little bit of vapor qualityand battery life. the vapium summit is another one. the pax 2, the crafty vaporizer, allof these units are going to be a lot more durable than, say, a davinci ascent, whichhas glass in its construction. my next point is temperature control. i'mgoing to try to keep this one as brief as
possible. essentially, if you're somebodywho wants to be monitoring the temperature of your vaporizer really precisely, thereare some units available that will let you do so via an lcd screen. you can actuallyselect in degrees celsius or fahrenheit. these are going to be really accurate, whereas wehave some units that have preset temperatures. like the arizer solo, which just has a temperaturescale from 1 to 7. there are units like the magic flight launch box, the firefly, or thewhisper, which is a butane powered vaporizer, which don't really have any set methods oftemperature control. these ones are just a fixed temperature, and just be wary of that. just before i wrap things up, i just wantedto mention a few of my favourite portables.
just 1 or 2 from each price range. that'sstarting with the budget option, which is the vapormax v5 pro. now, i just feel likethis unit's got really good temperature control, taste, and ease of maintenance, especiallyfor the price. if you need to be using this thing, say, more than 2 days a week, i woulddefinitely recommend going up to the mid-range options. my picks for the mid-range are thearizer solo and the arizer air. these 2 are going to be much more reliable in the longrun, especially with daily usage, and they're going to give you better battery life, vaporproduction, and ease of maintenance. finally we have the mighty vaporizer. this one isgoing to have the most precise temperature control out of pretty much anything in the portablerange. it's got great vapor production, great
ease of maintenance, and great battery lifetoo. it's a really well-balanced unit. you do pay for it, but in my opinion it's worthit. the moral of the story here is, you get whatyou pay for. with portables more than anything. if you follow these general guidelines thatwe've outlined today, and do your research, you'll end up finding a unit that's rightfor you. not just going for the best unit on the market, but something that you're goingto get the best use out of personally. that's it for our portable buyers guide. ihope you guys have enjoyed it. stay tuned for more videos from australian vaporizers.
