We are constantly looking for new and exciting products to add to our list of top choices. This page will continue to update and evolve as we discover and test more vaporizers.

We often emphasize quality, taste, and efficiency with our dry herb vaporizers , but what about just raw cloud production? Our choices here maintain the overall quality that we look for in a session, but do so with a cloudy finish every time. If you want the biggest vape clouds, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s get into it.

It’s pretty simple. We run each vaporizer through a session and, since we’re focused on clouds here, we set the temperature high. At least 390°F/198°C and above (or it’s highest preset temperature) for the best results. Are exhales greeted with a billowing cloud of vapor, or are they thin and wispy? Does it die down after a hit or is it consistent throughout the session? Bonus points if it keeps up with a full inhale.

With that being said, every vape on this list passed with flying colors and cloudy exhales.

Portable vaporizers grant you freedom to blow big clouds anywhere, at any time. These portable options excel at cloud production, but still maintain your herbs flavorful integrity in the process.

The Mighty+, Storz & Bickel’s top portable vaporizer, is a cloud machine, has great battery life, and is our choice for the Biggest of Clouds 2023. It is the king of big cloud vapes. Its robust heater and refined cooling unit produce smooth, milky clouds no matter how you pack it, and its top temperature of 410°F / 210°C is hot enough to pack a thick cloud punch, with subtle hints of herbal flavors. Whether you’re an experienced vaporist or a fresh newbie, the Mighty+ is easy to use and a great vape to pass around with a group of cloud chasing friends. For a budget-friendly option, check out our next choice.

The Planet of the Vapes ONE is a cloud factory on a budget, and the runner up for Biggest Clouds of 2022. This little vaporizer is a great starter kit and packs a lot of oomph in a palm-sized package that is sure to impress. Its small oven capacity ranges from .10g to .15g of ground herb, but its vast temperature range tops out at 430°F / 221°C for explosively dense clouds from such a small amount. Add the Water Pipe Adapter with this vape kit for the best cloud kicking performance. If the ONE’s smaller oven isn't going to cut it for you, see our next option below.

With a nearly .5g oven capacity, the Boundless Tera was made for clouds. This beefy vaporizer sports full convection heat and dual 18650 batteries for dense, yet flavorful cloud production. It also comes with a universal water pipe adapter for some serious sessions through your favorite bubbler. With precise temperature control settings, a LED Screen, and a huge oven, the Boundless Tera will satisfy those hungry for huge clouds.

The Tafée Bowle is one of the best performing dry herb vaporizers on the market. This on-demand drinkware/vaporizer hybrid will really blow you away with its unrivaled efficiency and cloud pumping power. Take a smooth, massive hit within seconds of firing and exhale a dense, satisfying fog alongside your favorite beverage. If you want thick clouds and a sophisticated touch of style with your sessions, the Tafée Bowle is a strong choice.

The POTV XMAX V3 Pro vaporizer is another worthy on-demand convection vaporizer with great cloud production. It's fast, efficient, and comes with multiple vaping modes. Blow thick clouds over a long session with Session Mode, or quick one-hitters with On-demand mode. And with our signature accessory attachment and suite of glass accessories, the POTV XMAX V3 Pro is a fantastic budget-friendly option.

Our lineup of Sticky Brick vaporizers are a unique option. These wooden, on-demand vaporizers draw their hits from the power of torch lighters. No batteries, no precise temperature controls, but all the flexibility in the world. They have a slight learning curve, but master it and you’ll be glad you did. These handcrafted works of art can produce the thickest clouds on the market in an instant. Push it to the limits with your torch and take your herbs to the brink of combustion for the most potent, cloud chugging hits around. If you want a full rundown on what these vaporizers are and how they work, check out our Sticky Bricks Review.

Desktop vaporizers harness unlimited power output and massive ovens for some of the fattest clouds out there. These high-powered options have been praised by the community and receive our stamp of approval.

The Ditanium vaporizer is a jack of all trades with unlimited desktop power, both dry herb and concentrate sessions, and sky high temperatures to excel at either one or both at the same time for even bigger clouds. Its whip delivery method is perfect for solo sessions, but also shines brightly as the cloud ripping life of the party. For the fullest, richest effects, pair both your dry herb and concentrate sessions at once for unstoppable potency. Check out our Ditanium Review for the in-depth overview.

The Volcano name is synonymous with potent hits and massive clouds. It holds up to a half gram of ground herbs and produces rich, potent clouds of the highest caliber. The Volcano Hybrid takes it up a few levels with its whip attachments for strong hits directly from the oven. Set the temperature high, kick on the fan, and take in dense clouds with a foggy exhale.

Many of the portable vaping products we carry charge via micro-usb and plug into a power adapter, similar to the one you use with your phone. However, a lot of portables are transitioning to USB-C charging, so it depends on your vape as well as your phone.

400°F/198°C and above is the best for cloud chasers. This area creates the thickest clouds with no regard to taste or smoothness, but is potent and provides the strongest effects. The higher you go, the thicker the results.

Many of our top vaporizers and vape pens are beginner friendly, aspire to be the best of the best, and are ideal for new vaporists. On top of reliable safety features, these vaporizers are easy to use, require little know-how, and deliver potent, quality hits with ease. Take a look at our Best Vapes for Beginners for the full rundown.
