Top 5 vaporizers of 2017

Vaporization is all the rage. Consumers are gradually realizing that burning dried herbs is the worst method of consumption, and feel the need to turn to healthier alternatives.

Once you've found your vaporizer, it's hard to go back to burning, at least in part. Whether it's for you or a loved one, we've compiled a list of the 5 best vaporizers of 2017 here, tested and approved by Newsweed.

The most complete: DaVinci IQ

The DaVinci IQ is the most complete vaporizer for vaporizing dried herbs. Excellent craftsmanship, its looks are matched only by its performance. It's both easy to use for beginners and packed with options for more advanced users.

The zirconium air duct pleasantly cools the vapor, and produces a dense, flavor-rich vapor. Users can adjust the IQ via a smartphone app or directly on the vapo, for optimal sessions.

Price: €259

The smartest: the Pax 3

The Pax 3 is our favorite. As smart as it is neat, it offers a host of high-tech features: haptic feedback (it vibrates), smartphone app for settings, integrated games, and its «lip-sensing» technology even detects when the user puts it to his lips to reactivate the heating.

It's not called the Apple of vaporizers for nothing. Design, high-tech, but a reasonable price for the overall quality.

The Pax 3 is compatible with both dried herbs and concentrates, thanks to its new cartridges.

Price: €249. 199€ in matte finish.

The tastiest: Firefly 2

The Firefly 2 has a rightful place in this ranking, even if its price will put many people off. Its incredible convection system produces unparalleled steam. The entire interior is made of glass, producing a smooth, richly aromatic vapor.

The design is almost reminiscent of our grandfathers' old pipes, especially with the latest wood cladding.

Price: €349

The simplest: Gpen Elite

GPen Elite and accessories

Largely more affordable, the Gpen Elite still offers excellent value for money. It has avoided all the shortcomings of its little brother GPro 1st version, and delivers excellent performance at a very reasonable price.

The simple interface lets you manage temperature and vapo settings. The ceramic oven guarantees good use of dried herbs and a very pleasant vapor.

Price: €149

The waxy one: PuffCo Plus

In our opinion, the PuffCo is the best vaporizer for concentrates. Its finish is as meticulous as it is pleasant to use. The two vaporization modes, on demand or in a 12-second session, allow you to make the most of your concentrates.

Power is adjustable, maintenance is simple, it recharges quickly and can be taken anywhere. It's hard to beat for the price.
