Cannabis Vaporizers
The most discreet way to consume cannabis. Vaporizers heat cannabis to temperatures that release cannabinoids and terpenes without combustion, eliminating smoke and preserving flavor.
What Are Cannabis Vaporizers?
Cannabis vaporizers are devices that heat cannabis flower or oil to temperatures between 160 and 200 degrees Celsius, releasing cannabinoids and terpenes as vapor without burning plant material. This differs fundamentally from smoking, where combustion occurs at 800+ degrees Celsius, creating smoke and byproducts.
At Hii, we carry vaporizers and vape products from Pax Era, Bodega Boys, and other premium brands. Our budtenders understand the differences between cartridge formats, battery compatibility, and the experience each vaporizer delivers.
Vaporizer Types
Disposable Vape Pens
$20 to $60
Single-use devices that arrive fully charged and ready to consume. No charging required. Ideal for trial consumption, travel, or consumers who don't want to manage multiple devices.
Cartridge Systems
Battery $20-$100, Carts $20-$60
A rechargeable battery with replaceable cartridges. When the cartridge empties, swap it for a new one and keep the battery.
Pod Systems
Varies by system
Similar to cartridge systems with magnetic or proprietary connections. Pax Era is the most recognized pod system at Hii, with a strong third-party pod ecosystem.
Portable Flower Vaporizers
$50 to $400
Devices designed to vaporize whole flower. Offer the most control over temperature. Excellent flavor from whole flower.
Oil vs. Live Resin Cartridges
Distillate Oil
- 80% to 95% THC
- Minimal terpene profile
- $25 to $40 per cartridge
- Consistent, potent, affordable
Live Resin Oil
- 70% to 85% THC
- 3% to 7% terpene content
- $40 to $70 per cartridge
- Superior flavor, strain-specific effects
If you prioritize potency and don't mind generic taste, distillate works well and costs less. If you prioritize flavor and effect nuance, live resin is worth the premium.

Battery Care and Maintenance
Charging: Charge via USB-C or micro-USB before the battery fully depletes. Most batteries reach full in 1 to 2 hours.
Temperature Management: Store batteries in a cool, dry place. Don't leave in hot cars or direct sunlight.
Contact Cleaning: If producing poor vapor, clean battery contacts with a dry cotton swab or alcohol wipe.
Long-Term Storage: Charge to 50% capacity and store in a cool place. Fully charged or depleted batteries degrade faster.
Cartridge Storage: Keep cartridges upright to prevent leaking. Store in a cool, dark place.
The Discretion Factor

Vapor dissipates quickly and doesn't cling to clothing or furniture.
Appearance
A vape pen looks like any other small electronic device.
Duration
Vaping takes seconds. Consume discreetly in any private space.
Clean-Up
No ash, no lingering smoke. You're done when you're done.
