A dry herb vape pen is a cylindrical and pocketable electronic vaporizer for cannabis flowers. Although some are bigger than your average pen, dry herb pens are about the length of a dab pen and smaller than most portable vaporizers. They house an internal and rechargeable battery, plus a self-contained oven that uses conduction heating to vaporize cannabis. Here are the best dry herb vape pens available right now.

There are a few steps to using a dry herb vape pen. It’s a super simple process, but there is a sequence of steps to make the process work optimally:
Most dry herb vaporizer pens will have automatic shut-offs for session vaping. Check your device’s specs to see the cut-off time; that is effectively your session length (typically about 5-8 minutes.) After the session, the device will cut off to retain battery power. If that session weren’t enough, you’d have to turn on the device again and wait for it to get back to temperature. This preserves battery power and keeps the herb from getting overcooked if the device isn’t turned off.
When grinding your herb, the consistency and how fine it's ground will play a significant role in how well the device vaporizes the material. The key to remember is that most dry herb pens use conduction ovens which means the material needs to be in contact with a heated surface. The best way to achieve efficient vaporization is to make sure the material grind is fine and even.
Most dry herb vape pens come with a cleaning kit. Since they use conduction heating, the herb stays in contact with the heating element. Over time this will leave a residue build-up in the oven.
To clean your herbal vape pen, brush out the already-vaped bud with a small brush. Then use high-strength isopropyl alcohol and Q-tips to clean the oven and mouthpiece. To clean the vapor path (wherever the vapor travels to get to the mouthpiece,) an alcohol-soaked pipe cleaner is ideal — just feed it through a couple of times.
Keeping a clean dry herb pen is easy to do when you keep up with it. If left for too long between cleanings, it becomes a more intensive job. It’s recommended to clean your unit at least once every five sessions for optimal performance.
