Quick Review

 
Manufacturer: Thermo Essence Technologies
 

The Good:

The ThermoVape heats up very quickly and vaporizes herbs cleanly and efficiently. It is easily portable and can recharge in the car or by using a wall AC charger. It is highly durable and made in the U.S.A.
 

The Bad:

The battery doesn't last very long. Also the unit gets pretty hot to the touch, which can make it tough for group sessions because you have to keep it on for a while.
 
THE BOTTOM LINE

This is a decent vape, but not a great vape. It’s a vaporizer that will give you good results but it’s kind of bulky and the battery needs to be charged often.

Full Review

Portable vaporizers are the new big thing in the vaporizer world. With brand new products coming out every day, vaporizer enthusiasts have many options to choose from. Many portable vaporizers are now battery operated, ensuring very convenient use. The newest model the T1 ThermoVape, is an updated version of the original ThermoVape offering new features and a cool new design.  I have tried many different types of vaporizers, especially portables, as many of those come with functionality of a standard desk top vape, with the added advantage of being transportable.

There are no buttons featured on the ThermoVape vaporizer. Basically you just load the chamber, move the slider up and hold it for heating, and it’s ready to be inhaled. The battery compartment is on the top and the batteries fit very snugly. To heat up, you just slide the aluminum part upwards, and doing this will connect the batteries. While doing this it will directly begin heating up. Heating is a pretty quick process and takes around 5 seconds. It is vital to be careful to not heat up your herbs too long as this could burn them. This vaporizer gets hot fast! A good thing though, is the loading chamber is fairly large for good air flow.

As far as aesthetics, it is available in both black and white. The appearance of the Thermo Vape overall is really nice. It features a sleek and clean look to it. Being simple and stylish is definitely a bonus, as this device is mainly used for on-the-go. A lot of portable vaporizers can look flashy and stand out, totally going against the purpose of having a portable unit capable of being used in the most subtle of places.

The ThermoVape is really efficient vaporizer and it is made here in the United States from high quality components. While you might need to do some stirring in between hits, the ThermoVape heats the herb nice and thoroughly. It’s vital to pack your herb loosely, as packing tightly may not only make it harder to inhale, sometimes making it tougher for you to stir your herb if necessary. The batteries last a couple of few full bowls, so it is a good thing to make sure you have extra charged batteries.

In conclusion, the ThermoVape is one of the better portable vaporizers available.  The ultra portability, great functional vaping process, matched with its low-key design makes it better able to compete with vaporizers of even higher prices.

    This is the weirdest vaporizer I ever owned. The metal compartment sliding up and down. I have to ask myself, “Why did they not just use a botton?”

        It does look pretty cool, like futuristic vaporizer from Roman times. I have yet to try one yet but all the reviews I have read online have been pretty good. I think this and C-Rig vaporizer are the two best weed vape pens right now according to others. As far as vapes that I have personally used the Vaporite Ruby is pretty good and Dr. Dabbler hits hard too.

    This thing works great but looks like a utility tool instead of a medical device. I would put the aesthetics a little bit lower.

      I like the way it looks, I think it looks classy and upscale. I could see this vape looking good with someone in a tuxedo and shiny shoes. I think you could even take this vaporizer to a wedding and vape weed right out in the open with no one noticing. The most public place I have ever vape was on the subway, but that was with a Puffit so it is a little bit more discreet.

        I like the way it looks as well, it is actually pretty discreet and easy to conceal. I bought a Firefly but it is too clunky to carry around with me so I never really use outside of the house. After all these years my Magic Flight launch box is still my go to vaporizer.

    Heard mixed things about it, first being that it hit extremely hard second that it was overly complicated. Do you have any photos of the vaporizer put together completely? I think it looks pretty cool and is definitely an original so I would probably score it a bit higher on the aesthetics grade. Did you guys list the price for it? Or am I missing something?

    Been shopping this vape around for a while. I found a few on ebay but am scared to get them because of how many knock offs people are selling on there. My friend bought a fake pax on there that broke in like two days. This thing does look pretty awesome though. Anyone know a good site to buy it on?

    I am pretty impressed with the Thermo Vape so far. I was a little worried when I first got it, I had heard some rumors online that said the vaporizer did not hold a charge very well but after about a month of vaping I can tell you that the battery is great. I am wondering if whoever wrote got a defective battery or something because mine works great.
