Welcome to my list of the top portable vaporizers under $150. The portable vaporizer market is growing fast, and we are finally starting to see some vapes at the lower price points that are actually solid. For the longest time, the only decent vape in this price range was the MFLB, so it’s exciting to get some more options.
Not only are we breaking through the mid $100 price range, but there are some solid options on this list for portable vaporizers under $100 as well. My favorite of them being the POTV One, which I talk more about below.
Watch out for Knock-Offs – One thing to be really careful about with this price range is re-branded products at inflated prices. It is not uncommon to find $20 cheap vapes (Chinese) sold for $100 or more. So, I suggest you stick to vapes on this list, but if you come across another vape you are considering, please leave me a comment below, and I will let you know if I have tried it.
The main differences between the cheaper vapes and some of the other top-ranked portables are the higher-end units typically use better materials and produce better vapor quality. They are also more durable and include better and usually more extended manufacturer warranties. You can check out my comprehensive list of the best portable vaporizers for more options.
However, each of the vaporizers I’ve listed below is worth its price, uses safe materials, and overall good value.
Quick Tip for Beginner Vaporist – Vaporizers perform night and day better with a grinder. My top pick for the best herb grinder is the Brilliant Cut Grinder, but I also have a full breakdown of my top-rated weed grinders if you want to see some more options. Hit me up in the comments below if you have any questions.
Without further ado, here are my top picks for the best portable vaporizers under $150.

The most pocket-friendly portable vaporizer under $150 is the Pax Mini. The Pax Mini features a 100% conduction heating system, one preset temperature settings, and a 3000mAh battery averaging about 75 minutes of use.
Why I like the Pax Mini – The main reason I like my Pax Mini vaporizer is because it’s practically indestructible. I use the Pax Mini most while hiking, biking, or anything outdoor where I know it could take a beating, and Pax Mini can do just that.
I don’t recommend doing any of it intentionally, but the Pax vaporizers are made for rugged adventures, and the slender profile allows you to pocket it for use on the go easily.
The other reason I like my Pax vaporizers is that they’ve been around forever. It’s a reliable vaporizer that’s relatively easy to use with excellent battery life.
What I dislike about the Pax Mini – Cleaning. The Pax Mini gets dirty quickly, especially if you are not a clean and tidy type. It’s important to empty the chamber immediately after a session. After a session, herbs left in the chamber will leave debris in the vapor path and increase draw resistance.
When the draw resistance starts going up, it’s time to clean the vapor path and chamber. It’s much better than the OG Pax but still not as easy as the other vaporizers listed on this page.

The Edge vaporizer by Healthy Rips features a Hybrid (Convection and Conduction) heating system with a 20-second average heat-up time, a full temperature spectrum (320F to 430F), and USB-C charging.
I consider the EDGE one of the best “complete package” vaporizers for the money. The only other vaporizer I would consider in this price range that rivals the Fury Edge’s performance is the Pax Mini. While I still prefer the sleek, pocket-friendly Pax Mini for the portability aspect, the Fury Edge is a small vaporizer as well. It’s just a smidgen bulkier.
The last thing I will mention about the Fury Edge portable vaporizer is that it’s an absolute beast with water pieces. The powerful stainless-steel heater in the Fury Edge can easily keep up with high temp aggressive draws.
If you have $125 to throw down on a vaporizer, get the Fury Edge. You won’t regret it. Click here to pick it up directly from healthy rips. All Healthy Rip vaporizers come with a free one-year replacement warranty and a lifetime ½ price replacement warranty.

Name: | Dynavap M Plus |
Category: | Best Butane Vaporizer |
Manufacturer: | Dynavap |
Rating: | 8.6/10 |
Price: | $89 |
Materials: | Dry Herbs and Concentrates |
Heating: | Conduction (On-demand) |
Heat Source: | Butane Torch / Induction Heater |
Warranty: | Lifetime |
Like the Sticky Brick Junior, this is another butane vape powered by a torch or lighter (not included). However, unlike the Junior, The M uses conduction heating rather than convection.
The Dynavap M is a portable butane powered vaporizer. It works by using a torch to heat the end of the cap until you hear a click. Then you start drawing.
As it cools down, it will make another audible click, letting you know ready to take more draws. This patent-pending technology tells you the correct temperature with a click, which is pretty awesome in my book.
I like the VapCaps because of their portability, relatively inexpensive pricing, and the fact they are virtually indestructible. I’ll lose a cap from time to time, but I never have to worry about breaking my Dynvap Vaporizers.
The other reason I like my Dynavap vaporizers is the vapor quality. Even though they use conduction heating, the “M” is pretty free-flowing and allows for some aggressive draws, especially through glass water pieces.
