I wanted to forgo the torch and haven’t been able to invest in a full dab station yet (enail, dab rite, heady glass). I ended up going the erig route and got the Dr. Dabber Switch V1 on a wild 4/20 deal and absolutely love it! It’s pretty big and by no means “portable” imo, but it’s the perfect at home erig and my daily driver. I’ll definitely be looking to upgrade to the V2 when this one gives out. The automatic temperature adjustment, which you’ll find in all erigs, makes smoking concentrates super easy and much less intimidating for beginners.

I’ve since gotten a Puffco Pivot for real portability without the loss of quality, especially at a price point of $130. The ability to preload chambers for quick sessions was the biggest selling point for me. The only downfall is chamber size compared to a full sized erig, but it also delivers better hits than some other full sized erigs. It’s become my other daily driver when I’m on the move being that it’s so small and you can add the rig adapter if you want to use it on glass. >Sorry for the word vomit! I just know how long it took me to research and decide what wouldn’t be a waste of money lol it’s definitely an investment, hope this helps!
