As it was in the era of traditional smoking, when the size of your blunt determined its longevity and your level of satisfaction, so it is in the modern era of vaping. The bigger the load your vape bowl can carry in its chamber, the longer your vaping experience and hopefully the more satisfaction you are likely to derive from vaping. Different dry herb vaporizers will hold different amounts of herbs. Obviously, the smaller the weed vape pen, the less amount of herbs it can load. Still, the question begging to be answered remains...how much herb does the vape bowl of vaporizers hold?

Desktop Vaporizer

While a desktop vaporizer lacks the mobility and stealth of a portable vaporizer, it guarantees you the best quality vapour with up to 95% THC as confirmed by various tests. Desktop vaporizers come with very powerful features that are not always available in portable vaporizers and weed vape pens.

The desktop vaporizer is designed as a stationary powerhouse and it is usually equipped with a bigger vape bowl that can hold more dry herbs than your average portable vape pen. If your desktop vape device comes with a smaller vape bowl, there is also the option of a balloon bag attachment which can produce as much vapor as a big cyclone vape bowl.

Suggested desktop vaporizing device:
Volcano: comes with a chamber that can hold as much as 2g of dry herbs
Arizer Extreme-Q: is capable on holding about 1.5g of dry herbs
Vapir Rise 2.0: hold 1.5g of dry herbs in its chamber.

Portable Vaporizer

Portable vaporizers are designed primarily for mobility and therefore have a smaller vape bowl when compared to desktop vaporizers. They are also meant to be lightweight, portable and to provide easy, ergonomic handling. You should be able to slip the pen discreetly in your pocket or handbag without causing a stir or attracting undue attention to yourself. For these reasons manufacturers of portable vaporizer pens are particular about the overall weight of their device once filled with finely grind herbs, wax or liquid.

They look at the impact a certain quantity of herbs will have on the portability and handling of the pens while still considering the satisfaction users can derive from using the device. Resultantly, the portable type vaporizers are fitted with smaller vape bowl. The boldest designs come with a vape bowl that can load up to 0.5 grams of dry herbs depending on the grind and nice tight packing.

Three suggested portable vaporizer:
Pax 3, which has a chamber that can hold between 0.3 and 0.4g of dry herbs
Firefly 2, which holds up to 0.4g
AirVape Xs, whose chamber can hold as much as 0.2g of dry herbs.
