Desktop vaporizers are the largest and the most powerful vaporizers, but as these vaporizers have grown in popularity there are newer models on the market that offer users different functionality and features. This makes choosing a desktop vaporizer tricky, but here we have found the best desktop vaporizers that you can consider. 
Desktop vaporizers are made for home use because they are larger in size and need to be plugged into a wall outlet. However, desktop vaporizers offer the most advanced technology, features and increased power, which deliver the biggest hits and the highest quality in terms of flavor and vapor production.
Before we jump into the best desktop vaporizers, we first need to look at the different styles you get.
Desktop Vaporizer Styles
There are two main desktop vaporizer styles, those being whip and balloon. Most desktop vaporizers have a traditional whip attachment, but others like the Volcano Vaporizer have a balloon attachment. But there’s also the Arizer Extreme Q that will allow you to use both.
Here is a look at these different styles and what they are able to offer.
A Whip Style
A whip style vaporizer refers to the medical grade tubing, which connects to the mouthpiece. A whip style is the most common form of desktop vaporizer because the user is given more control over their draw.
With this type of vaporizer, you will only receive the vapor when you want it and allows for more control as the concentration of vapor is determined by the speed of your pull.
However, the problem with this style is that you have to be right next to your vaporizer when you want to draw and the vapor is generally hotter.
A Balloon Style
This style is where bags are attached to the vaporizer, the vapor is forced into the balloon through the use of a fan that also pushes heat. Once the balloon or bag is full, it can be detached from the vaporizer and the vapor is inhaled from the opening.
The advantage of this style is that the balloon can be taken with you to any area of your home and can also be shared among friends. Also, the vapor is cooler as there is time to allow it to cool before taking a draw.
The problem with this is that if you are vaping alone, you will find it difficult to consume all the vape, which means you will waste some.
Wait…You will want to know what the best desktop vaporizers are…
Best Desktop Vaporizers
Here is a look at the best desktop vaporizers that you are able to get right now.
Arizer Extreme Q Vaporizer
If you are new to desktop vaporizers and are still not sure if you would prefer a balloon or whip style, then the Arizer Extreme Q is a great choice as it has both. The Extreme Q also offers a more hands-free experience because it comes with a remote control.
The heat up time on this desktop vaporizer is pretty quick and only takes about 20 seconds. The temperature is displayed on an LCD screen and you can use the dial to get the precise temperature you want.
The Extreme Q is a top entry-level desktop vaporizer that offers amazing vapor and functionality that uses both whips and balloons.
Da Buddha Vaporizer
The Da Buddha Vaporizer has been created by 7th Floor Vaporizers, which is the same creator of the Silver Surfer. The design aspect of the Da Buddha is simple, but don’t be fooled as this desktop vaporizer delivers more than you what you might expect.
The Da Buddha is a whip style vaporizer with a glass mouthpiece and a high-quality ceramic heating component that produces dense and tasty vape.
The temperature control is also simple, but it is easy to use and you will be able to find your sweet spot easily.
Plenty Vaporizer
The Plenty Vaporizer is from Storz & Bickel and has a unique design as it resembles a power tool.
The size of the Plenty makes it one of the very few desktop vaporizers that is handheld, which makes it ideal for passing in a group.
The heating chamber is quite large and uses convection style heating, which produces a dense and tasty vapor.
With the Plenty, you are able to vape herbs, concentrates and waxes as it comes with different screens or pads.
The Plenty is not really a whip style vaporizer, but it does have a long metal coil, which has been designed to cool the vape before you inhale.
Wait…there are more to know about…
Silver Surfer Vaporizer
The Silver Surfer Vaporizer (or SSV) from 7th Floor Vaporizers has a simple design, is smaller in size, is easy to set-up and the carrying case allows you to take it where you want.
The Silver Surfer is a whip style vaporizer with two options. The first is the whip attaches by glass to glass and the second is where the whip is held by a user close to the heating element.
The glass dial controls the temperature, but it can be hard to get your specific temperature because the (stunning glass dial) does not have defined temperature markings. However, this vaporizer produces a great tasting vape that is easy to use.
VapeXhale Evo
The VapeXhale Evo was designed from the ground up to produce the thickest, most potent and tastiest vapour possible…and it works!
Thanks to its glass path and a well-engineered convection system, we’ve found that the Evo does a terrific job also with concentrates which is most of the times the Achilles’ heel of a (predominantly) herbal vaporizer.
Currently there are two variations of the Evo, the Standard Kit that comes with a curved glass mouthpiece and the HydraTube Kit that uses a water filtration tool in order to improve the quality of the vapour produced.
The Evo is an amazing vaporizer that does stand out and a real contender for the Volcano Vaporizer.
Volcano Vaporizer
The Volcano Vaporizer is the most popular desktop vaporizer around and has been created by Storz & Bickel.
There are the Classic and Digit Volcano Vaporizer models to choose from. The Digital version offers a LED display that allows you to precisely set your temperature and also has an automatic shutoff feature. The Classic, on the other hand, uses an analog temperature control dial and does not feature an automatic shut off.
The Volcano Vaporizer can only be used with balloons, but you do have two options over the valve system that is used, which are the easy valve system and the solid valve system.
Final thoughts
When you are choosing a desktop vaporizer, it is a good idea to try both whip and balloon styles so you can see which one you prefer. Also, compare the different desktop vaporizers and see which one offers the features that you are looking for but also the one that would better fit your vaping requirements (frequency of use, single or multiple users and whether or not it will be used with oils).
Be wise, vaporize!
