A closer look at the picks called out above.
Best Of List
Complete Rankings
Scroll down for the full lineup: every pick, the category context behind it, and the reasoning that put it on this list.
School is no longer out for summer, but in fact back forever! Forreeevvverrr *insert Sandlot flashback here* Okay well no, maybe not forever, there is a time when youâll be out in the real world and have to pay back all that student debt, but that is certainly not today!
So with a full semester worth of studying, late nights, and grading papers (for all our Professors out there) we know that you are going to need some assistance.
Thatâs why here in this Got Vape Blog we have put together a little guide to help you make sure you have all the supplies you need to make this a semester to remember!
Beat the Rush to Save Big
While it is always easier to kick the can down the road, sometimes it pays to think ahead and order your supplies before youâve actually arrived.
This is because many shops in college towns and around campuses will charge a significantly jacked up price for their items because they know that they have the market cornered. Donât get caught in the mouse trap of supply and demand, think ahead and beat the system!
Thatâs why we recommend taking the time to look ahead and purchase what you need now, instead of having to pay more for it later.
The Importance of a Quality Grinder
Shaggy has Scooby, Dorthy has Toto, and you need to have a grinder. Yes much like these K9 companions, if you are going to go off to school you are going to need some assistance.
Spare your dry herbs the indignity of being crudely split apart by your definitely sanitary roommateâs scissors *barf* and instead be the hero who chimes up to say âHereâs a grinderâ.
To accompany you this fall semester we recommend starting by looking at one of the latest Wulf Mods drops, the multifaceted 4pc 65mm Bevel Grinder.
The Bevel Grinder comes correct with some seriously powerful custom spiked diamond teeth that make short work of even the densest of dry herbs.
On top of this, like literally on top of this, the Bevel Grinder has a built in ashtray with notch for resting your mid session rolls. This means you can skip ashing in a red solo cup that someone inevitably drinks from, and instead can come ready to go with an all in one smoke enjoyment system.
For a more technological feat of herb shredding, cast your sights to the Chewy G3 Portable Electric Grinder available in both a Basic and a Deluxe set. Both come with the excellent Chewy G3 which stores up to 5G of dry herbs and makes use of its 5 food-grade stainless steel blades to chop, slice, and dice your materials to ground perfection.
Take a look at the Deluxe Chewy G3 for a ready to go kit that comes with a cleaning brush, stash tube, and 2 ready to go filling cones.
Should you be interested in a different type of hybrid grinder, take a quick lookie-loo at the Metal Herb Grinder with Built in Pipe. This pocket sized grinder doubles as a pipe, so all you need in your pocket other than this is your lighter!
Subtle Cartridge Vape Picks
With college can come a certain innate level of lost privacy, but that doesnât mean you canât take steps to make vaping your own business and no one else's.
For a more subtle vaporizer experience that still hits hard, we recommend checking out the Wulf Mods Recon 4G Dual Cartridge Vaporizer. The Recon 4G is great for walking around because it easily fits in your hand and fully conceals your cartridges.
And that is cartridges with an s, thatâs because the Recon 4G allows for the use of two 2 gram cartridges! Either separately or at the same time!
For a pen style vaporizer that maintains a low key image, we also recommend the Sutra Silo Pro Auto Draw Cartridge Vaporizer! The Silo Pro not only completely conceals your cartridge within its body, but it also has auto draw functionality so all you have to do is inhale and enjoy.
Low Key Dry Herb Picks
Should you be more interested in dry herb vaporization, we have many options that will give you a powerful experience while at the same time preserving your anonymity.
First up we have the excellent Pax Plus Portable Vaporizer! These sleek yet passive looking vaporizers can easily be contained in the hand while out and about. The Pax Plus has an upgraded 3D oven that perfectly preps either your dry materials or your waxy ones.
This gives you unparalleled versatility in your sessions and always makes sure you can always use your Pax Plus no matter the situation!
The next step up would be the Sutra Mini Vaporizer! Designed with an all black handheld body, the Mini is as stealthy as it is supremely powerful. Thatâs because the Mini has a 1,600mAh battery that allows it to vaporize not only your dry herbs, but also concentrates!
That makes the Mini the ultimate all in one vaporizer to bring to campus this year!
Easily Affordable Pick Ups
If you are instead looking for an easy vape pick up that wonât break the bank, then we have some awesome options for you as well!
We recommend that you check out the Wulf Mods Flat Plus as these are priced at only 19.99 and come with everything you need to get by. That's because the Flat Plus has a capable 900mAh battery, 3 expertly tuned heat settings (2.6, 3.2, 3.8v), and force multiplying 10s preheat ability.
At only 14.99, there is the Flat Plusâs younger sibling, the Wulf Mods Flat Mini! These have a slightly smaller body but still come with the same 3 fine tuned heat settings (2.6, 3.2, 3.8v) and the 10s pre heat.
Another fan favorite currently going for 12.99 is the Exxus Vape Plus VV! This excellent pen style vaporizer is 510 threaded compatible, has a surprisingly large 380mAh battery, and even has a wide range of voltage settings (2.6v, 3.2v, 4v).
All this makes the Plus VV a stellar option to pick up if you want powerful clouds, while still keeping your expenses on the low.
Must Have Accessories
To help control the odor profile of your vaporizing or smoking, we would like to point out the incredibly useful FLTR Smoke Odor Eliminator.
These are great to have on deck in case you have some particularly smelly dry herbs or you just want to have a less smokey experience.
Another great item to have ready is the Wulf Mods Spire Torch! This incredibly compact torch is great to have at the ready for any impromptu dabbing sessions that come your way. With its ultra compact size the Spire is perfect to have in your desk for when you need it.
Cleaning Supplies
Last but certainly not least, in the midst of all your college adventures itâs always a good idea to spend some time cleaning up in between sessions.
To make this as easy as possible, we recommend the Wulf Mods Wipes 100pk! These wipes turn cleaning up into a quick activity instead of an annoying time sink. Using 70% isopropyl alcohol, these are perfect to clean everything from your mouthpiece, to a full on water pipe.
For those times when you need a heavy duty cleanse, we would like to point out the always awesome Grunge Off Super Soaker Glass Cleaner! Each bottle has 16oz of their non toxic, biodegradable solution that not only cleans but also deodorizes your glass!
Schools Outro
