Vaporizers continue to be all the rage in 2016 with new models, designs and updated functions hitting the marketplace. With hundreds to choose from it’s often hard to decide which is the best vape pen for you. Though some models offer attachments that vape both concentrates and flowers, most only perform one well—and it’s never my recommendation to combust or burn your weed—but to truly vaporize, which calls for an oven.
When looking at vape pens for extracts/concentrates it’s typical to choose based on style/design, but don’t overlook functions like automatic shut off, setting desired temperature or ease of use. Typically vapor production is important to both flower and concentrate vapes, so if you’re after big hits all ten of these vaporizers will definitely fit the bill.
Top 10 Vaporizers Of 2016

Use: Extracts
Cost: $124.95
If you’re looking for the best overall vaping experience with concentrates, the Dr. Dabber exceeds all expectations with its smooth matte black finish, interlocking magnetic parts and low temps to make this the perfect vape pen for dabs on the go. The Full Rx Bundle includes all the desired accouterments like three different atomizers to suit your oil/wax preference; glass globe attachment; ceramic mouthpiece; and Dr. Dabber’s signature Snaptech Magnetics.
DaVinci IQ Vaporizer
Use: Flowers
Cost: $274.99
From the same manufacturer as the Ascent comes the newly improved DaVinci IQ, (read: smaller and more portable) with a really cool 360-degree conductor oven allowing for a true vaporizer experience. The IQ’s rechargeable and replaceable battery helps light the LED display, heats the oven, and alerts you with a small vibration when your designated temp is reached. Similar to smart phones, the IQ is a high-tech vape, which can be synched to your iPhone through its app to set desired temp, turn on/off and more through unique, user-defined “smart paths.” If you’re looking for an extra powerful hit, one of my fave features of the IQ is the “boost mode” where you hold down the power button for 10 seconds allowing the oven’s temp to rise to produce a bigger vape.

Pax 3 Vaporizer
Use: Flowers & Extracts
Cost: $274.99
If you thought you hit it big with the Pax 2, just wait until you try the Pax 3. Continuing where the 2 left off with a sleek and stylish small body and true vapor, the Pax 3 is now a two-in-one vaporizer to give you the best of both worlds: flowers and concentrates (new!). Other improvements include a bump up to the battery life (from 3000 mAh to 3500 mAh), faster heat up time (15 seconds), and new intelligence like LED notifications and compatibility with their Pax Vapor App.

Designed specifically for concentrates, the Pax Era is the first of its kind from Pax Labs otherwise known for their top-of-the-line flower vaporizers. Performing just as well and soon to be top-tier, the Era features a pre-filled concentrates “pod” only available currently in Colorado and California. Gone are the days of leaking, messy, and hard to load vape pens, the Pax Era is so completely seamless and so easy to use we bet your Grandma will be toking before year’s end.

With six different atomizers at your fingertips (including quartz and two coil-less) the Source Orb 4 carries on the tradition of exceptional vaping and quality of previous models. If big plumes of vape aren’t your thing, move away from the three-coil system atomizer and let the big kids take this one.

Instead of coils, the Plus utilizes an all ceramic atomizer allowing for better flavor, less waste by evenly distributing the dab and larger vapor production. Other new advances in the Plus include a super handy dabber dart inconspicuously located in the underside of the mouthpiece and a 12-second sesh mode so you don’t have to continuously hold down the button.
