Even the most expensive portable dry herb vaporizer on the market today has a terrible user experience compared to the cheapest cartridge pens. The herb compartments are very small, which means that you have to refill them literally every couple hits, which also means that they're not very portable and that sharing is basically impossible The heating elements have to be much larger, which means that they heat up slowly and the batteries have to be recharged every other use. They start to taste bad quickly unless you disassemble and clean them every other use. The devices themselves are wicked expensive (hundreds of dollars vs tens), and equivalent quantities of dry herb also costs more than liquid concentrates. Compare that to a cartridge pen where: The battery can last for months of regular use without needing to be recharged because the element is tiny and heats instantly. The cartridges similarly last for months of regular use without needing to repack constantly. As far as I know, they never need to be cleaned. A decent pen body costs like $35 vs like $200 for a dry herb vape, and a $50 pre-filled concentrate cartridge can last literally months of regular use.
