Vapes ranks among the most competitive areas of the cannabis market. That’s good news for cannabis customers, who have a multitude of options when choosing a vape that matches the experience they want to have.

But there’s a divide between luxury vapes that can be cost prohibitive for many and low-end vapes that don’t provide all the features experienced vapers want. That area is one that the creators behind AirVape wanted to fill with a sleek-but-sturdy vape powered by advanced technology.

AirVape seems to have succeeded. Wirecutter recently named the company’s AirVape X as the Best Portable Vaporizer for the second year in a row. Wirecutter wrote: “Satisfying to use, intuitive to newcomers, and easier to live with than competitors, the AirVape X provides richer, smoother vapor than anything else in its price range.”

The Growth of the Vaping Industry

When it comes to cannabis, it’s easy to get lost in the staggering numbers that come out every month about growth in the industry. But even against that backdrop, projections about vapes stand out.

According to a recent projection from global market research experts Million Insights, worldwide sales of handheld cannabis vaporizers will reach $15.77 billion by 2028. To get there, vape sales are expected to increase by 6.2 percent every year.

Million Insights wrote that the popularity of vapes continues to rise, partly driven by the fact that “it is regarded as nontoxic, which gives an advantage over marijuana smoking. In addition, the use of conduction vaporizers provides a stronger effect than conventional smoking.”

Given the popularity of vapes, becoming successful in the industry requires creation of a product that stands out. These are the brands that consumers want to keep an eye out for to get the best return on their investment in a vape. AirVape certainly fits in this category.

A Sleek and Solid Vaporizer

AirVape started with the idea of creating an elegant vaporizer, sleek in design and solid in performance. They also wanted to offer the product with an “approachable” price. The result was the AirVape’s first model, the ultra-thin XS.

While popular, the XS has since been succeeded by AirVape’s current flagship model, the AirVape X.

In addition to winning the Wirecutter award, the X also has earned praise from other media outlets. Vape Critic listed the X in its Best Portable Vaporizer for Dry Herb guide, praising its performance and ease of use. Self.com listed the X and AirVape Xs GO as No. 2 and No. 3 on a list of the 13 best vaporizers for “total beginners.”

AirVape commits to using advanced technology in all its products. In the X, the company leverages innovative heating technology to allow the vape to heat quickly, rising to optimum level in just 20 seconds.

In addition to the combination of conduction and convection heating technology, the X also comes with an oval, ceramic heating chamber, a 1.3-inch display showing temperature and battery level, and a magnetic mouthpiece. It even vibrates when it’s ready.

The AirVape Legacy and A Commitment to Sustainability

Success defeats some companies, but not AirVape. With the praise heaped on the X, the company did not rest. Instead, in 2020 it created the AirVape Legacy.

The advanced vaporizer has features such as wireless charging, an interchangeable battery, a modular airpath and pure convection heating tech. It also uses hemp textile and vegan leather in its design.

As with all its vapes, AirVape backs the Legacy with a lifetime warranty. Customers also can join customer appreciation programs such as the AirVape Upgrade plan that allows them to purchase future AirVape devices at a fraction of retail price.

AirVape also is taking steps toward producing its products in a sustainable way, which the company now sees as part of its new mission. They see a “forward-looking mentality” as including the use of innovative technology to become more efficient and sustainable.

Another amazing initiative of AirVape is that they give discounts for anybody who sends in their old vape – any brand, any condition – and they take care of the proper recycling charges. The recycling is done at  HomeBoy recycling facilities, where the batteries get removed and recycled the way they should, but it is not easy to do so at home.

AirVape also has switched all packing material to recycled paper, and began to implement eco-friendly materials in vaporizers.

All this adds up to a cannabis vaporizer worthy of consideration for both experienced and new users. Driven by a plan to use technology to offer a high-end experience at a lower price, AirVape has become successful at carving out an important niche in a growing industry.
