Top 10 E-Rigs / Concentrate Vaporizers 2021
Dabs are all the rage these days and there is an ever growing wide range of devices for all your vaping needs. Below is our list of the top 10 devices on the market today ranging in price, size and functionality and rated for their vapor quality/taste (it's all about the flavor for dabs), price, cleanability and overall performance.
1: High Five Duo
As of right now this E-Rig vaporizer is one of the best bangs for your buck while also offering amazing vapor quality and taste and is built for heavy performance. One of the major issues you'll find with most E-Rigs is they are not designed for constant use whereas the High Five Duo is designed for larger sized dabs, is easy to clean and is one of the few devices with an LED display for temperature control and settings. Also this device lights up with an array of colors for aesthetic appeal.

2: Puffco Peak Pro
Puffco has built their brand around offering the highest quality performance for dabbing on the market and the Puffco Peak Pro is a true testament to the quality of their brand. This device is at the very top of the concentrate vaporizer price point but this new and improved version of the Puffco Peak boasts a unique sensor embedded inside of the chamber communicates with your Peak Pro, keeping your temperature exactly where it needs to be - regardless of how hard you inhale or how much oil you put in.
The end result is the most consistent and controlled dab experience ever.

3. Dr. Dabber Boost Evo
The Dr. Dabber Boost EVO has been painstakingly built from the ground up, incorporating proprietary technology, with one goal in mind: the perfect dab. This device is meant to be an improvement over the well known Dr. Dabber Switch.
Achieving the perfect dab every single time you use your vaporizer is a metric that is often overlooked, but most vaporizers on the market have little or no temperature control, calibrated to continuously heat up until a certain point in time when it cuts off. This leads to a ridiculous variance in the temperature you are dabbing. The Boost EVO has a patent pending temperature control sensor built in, unlike anything else on the market. With six heat settings that have been calibrated with the help of customer feedback from tens of thousands of Boost users, you can rely on your Boost EVO to be consistent every single time.
Pair that technology with a custom quartz dish, interchangeable glass, spectacular RGB ambient lighting and surprisingly long battery life for such a portable device, the Dr. Dabber Boost EVO is truly the next generation of the eRig. Available in two colours - Moon White & Eclipse Black.

5. Kandy Pens Oura Vaporizer
The KandyPens Oura Vaporizer is an intelligent portable e-rig that’s designed for unparalleled cannabis concentrate sessions. Equipped with four preset temperatures, multiple atomizer options, a 3000mAh battery, and a handmade glass attachment, the Oura delivers thick vapor with a rapid heat-up time. The Oura sports a zinc alloy shell and hefty base that provides additional durability.
COLOR OPTIONS
This dynamic e-rig is available in Black, as well as 6 stylish pastel colors (Black, Red, White, Turquoise, Pink, Lime Green, and Lavender) that fit any vape vibe.
4 PRESET TEMPERATURES
There Oura is equipped with four preset temperatures so you can fully explore your concentrate; yellow and green are for those who enjoy flavor, while red and blue are for cloud enthusiasts. When your temperature is met, the convenient haptic feedback will let you know it’s time to add your material.
GLASS BULB ATTACHMENT
The handmade glass bulb attachment is not only durable, but its unique shape unleashes powerful draws of vapor; the bulb attachment can also act as a “sipping cup” for those who might want to parcel out draws. The Oura’s low draw resistance makes it easy to pull vapor, no matter the density.
A QUARTZ ATOMIZER & CERAMIC BOWL
The quartz atomizer included with the Oura gets to temperature very quickly and delivers condensed vapor consistently. KandyPens included a ceramic bowl with the quartz atomizer to open up some possibilities for flavor centric concentrate users; ceramic does a good job of keeping outside flavors from your draws.
