Dry herb atomizers vape botanical materials using a conduction heating-style. This means that materials come in direct contact with a heating element, usually ceramic or stainless steel in the vape tank.
Atomizers do not use convection, which blows hot air through dry herbs to create vapor. The atomizers here all have 510-threading so they can attach to any 510-threaded vape mod. The mod powers the coils or heating element inside the atomizer, which then heats materials to create vapor.

The Mig Vapor Black Sub-Herb has a newly redesigned vape tank with excellent drawing power.
This tank is suitable for concentrate and dry herb vaping. Made with 304 stainless steel in a discreet black design, this is a combustion-free vape tank holds up to 4 ml of ejuice.
It also comes with enhanced airflow, and a standard 510 thread connector plated in gold for optimal conductivity.
Using the Black Sub-Herb tank is easy, thanks to the modular design. The tank can be completely disassembled for cleaning and maintenance, making the vape experience fuss-free and pleasurable.
The tank works right out the box with all sub-ohm vaping equipment. The ceramic heating plate ensures instantaneous heating, so it’s a smooth and consistent vape flavor the moment fire it up.
The Black Sub-Herb tank includes two silicone mouthpieces, a dab tool, a new heat-sensitive airflow base, extra gold plated 510 connectors, 4pcs of replacement mesh, wicks, spring herb holder plate, and a user manual.
Made of high-grade Pyrex and stainless steel, the Sub Herb is solidly built and vapes dry herb wonderfully. There is no plastic in the build which means it will last a long time.
There are no exposed coils, which make cleaning this tank a breeze. Not only that, but the ceramic dish heats the chamber evenly for a quality vape with no burnt flavors.
This ceramic chamber also makes for an efficient vape. The weed may only need to be tamped down once during a session in between puffs. And none of the herb is left at the end, all of it gets vaporized.
The Pyrex glass makes the tank look like any other traditional vape tank so it will fit the aesthetics of any device.
How does it vape?
Expect a hard-hitting vape that is full of flavor. Cloud production is also exellent, but a lack of airflow control would make for some better ones.
As usual, Mig Vapor thought through all the details on this sub-herb dry herb vape tank and elevates it from just good enough to excellent.
Compatible with any battery size that has a 510 threaded connection, this dry herb tank is 22mm wide and made of tempered Pyrex. The body being made of glass keeps the vapor cool and pleasant.
Holding the herb is a ceramic cup at the bottom of the atomizer which keeps the weed separate from the heating element. This evenly heats the weed and extracts all the essential flavors without a burnt flavor. The mouthpiece also features a filter so the vapor is very smooth.
It hits hard, though, just without any harsh or burnt flavors. It works on a wattage between 7 and 27W.
How does it vape?
Besides the smoothness of the vape, it does produce some nice clouds. It heats up in seconds, but the low and slow atomizing makes for some decent clouds.
Small chamber size guarantees great-tasting clouds
Well-designed choke covers and dab tools
Nice bubbler tube
Cons:
Bowl size is a little too small
Dry herb coil is not compatible with any TC mods
This is a 510-threaded e-nail comes with a handy bubbler tube attachment. Made entirely of enduring components, it’s a great kit that works right out of the box.
It fits most low-wattage (12-20w) devices but still produces big powerful hits every time.
The La Rig comes with two options for different setups. There are 2 Pyrex glass tubes with distinctive nail choke covers – 1 for dry herb vaping, and 1 for concentrates, giving you a full and robust flavor in every vape.
This e-Nail is an excellent choice for beginners and enthusiasts. The herb coil is for use with a maximum of 17-27w, the ceramic coil — 12-20 watts (TC mods with a temperature range of 100-200F). Coils based on a battery base, allowing you to vape hands-free.
The La Rig e-Nails includes the herb vape mod coil, a coil for concentrate, a universal coil base, 2 Pyrex glass tube choke covers, a Pyrex bubbler, and a user manual.
The look and feel of this dry vape tank is that it is very well built. It is all metal and slightly industrial in its aesthetic.
It is coil heated and has some holes in the bottom side of the cylinder for airflow. This combusts rather than vapes the herb, so for those that like a strong hit with smoky flavors from the weed, this will satisfy.
This loads easy as the mouthpiece slides off exposing the inner chamber.
Since this fits on the G Pen, it is a handy and inexpensive way to add vaping dry herbs without needing an entirely new dry herb vape pen. The tank lasts around 6 to 8 weeks, generally.
A dry herb atomizer is a vape tank that is specifically made to vape dry herbs, such as marijuana.
What makes it different from special herb vapes is that it acts more like an oven than a typical coil that vaporizes e-liquid through means of a wick or cotton.
To vaporize a dry herb, it cannot be combusted otherwise it simply burns and the vaper is left with a harsh and burnt tasting herb. Atomizing it, instead, slowly heats the herb in the chamber and creates a vapor that is inhaled, rather than smoke.
To do this, a ceramic chamber is separate from the coil and the weed is placed there. In this way, weed vape pens have no direct contact with the herb so it doesn’t burn it.

Can You Put Weed in a Vape Tank?
If the vape tank in question is a traditional tank with a coil for e-liquid then the answer is a very loud No.
For this purpose vapers should use a special vape tank for weed — it is literally produced to vaporize dry herb. Putting weed in a regular vape tank will ruin the tank and waste the weed, not to mention the possibility of ruining the vaporizer.
How to Use a Dry Herb Tank
The first thing to realize when using a dry herb vape tank is that the weed should be ground finely. Much more finely than many people are used to. This is to ensure an even roast that allows for all of the flavors to be extracted and to minimize the risk of burning it.
When packing the tank, fill the chamber to the fill line and then using a screen, or tamper, press lightly to make a sort of disc with the herb. Not too tight or it won’t end up producing any vapor.
The next most important thing is to do is to keep the power reasonably low. To avoid combusting the herb, it should be vaped between 10 and 25 Watts. To avoid the atomizer from overheating and burning the herb, short puffs should be taken.
To vape dry herb it is not required to hold the fire button while drawing. A couple of quick pulses on the fire button will get the chamber hot and start the vapor from the herb.
Keeping the fire button pressed will overheat the chamber and burn the herb and can possibly crack the ceramic, making the atomizer useless.
Best Dry Herb Vape Tanks Verdict?
For the quality of the build to the great price, we believe that the top of the line for vaping dry herbs without buying a special herbal vape pen is to use a special dry herb vaporizer tank.

November 19, 2018 at 10:49 amIf I buy a device like the k1000 plus by Camry could I just replace the tank that comes with it with one of these dry herb tanks?
