Updated on 2023: Do you prefer to vape at home rather than when you’re out and about? If so, you might be looking for something a little different from the portable dry herb vaporizers.
A desktop vaporizer could be just what you’re looking for. Offering an outstanding vaping experience, these tabletop models might be large and need to be plugged into a power outlet, but they can provide a seriously impressive vape.
The first vaporizers to ever be developed were desktop models. The perfect alternative to smoking dry herbs, they are, essentially, a special kind of oven which bakes the herbs at the selected temperature in order to produce a vapour which can be inhaled via a tube or a bag.
Since desktop vaporizers produce excellent flavour and plenty of vapour, they’re a popular choice among serious vapers.
Here, we’re going to take a look at some of the best desktop vaporizers on the market today. Please be aware, however, that some kinds of vaping material are illegal in the UK, so take care when you’re choosing what to vape.
