The herbalAire H2.2 is a desktop vaporizer that offers three different draw methods, and the ability to vaporize all types of herbs; dry herbs, concentrated oils, and wax. You can draw directly from the mouthpiece top, through a whip, or out of balloon bags. This unit has a very different design than others on the market today, which leads to some distinctive benefits and some noticeable drawbacks.
Pros:
- Dual function design: flexibility to draw from balloons & whip
- Saves time with no need to grind herbs
- Gets hot in roughly 5 minutes or less
- Satisfactory vapor quality
- Very easy to use in whip mode
- LED lights allow for easy monitoring
Cons:
- Risk for waste if you don't measure your herbs in advance
- Mouthpiece top wiggles around
- Must use a larger amount of herbs to get quality vapor
- Bags don't have valves, so they can leak
- No internal fan; balloon bags are filled with separate pump
- Fine particles get into the balloons, large holes in the screen
- Unit can run hot and pose a risk for herb combustion

In-Depth of herbalAire H2.2
- Price - The suggested selling price of the herbalAire H2.2 is $199, making it a mid-priced option amongst desktop vaporizers. For the quality of the vapor that it produces in whip mode, it does offer value.
- Vapor Quality - With this model, you can expect pure vapor that has a pleasing taste, and the amount of vapor you can produce with the unit is satisfactory; however, you must place more herbs into the crucible than what herbalAire recommends if you want to be able to enjoy thick vapor.
- Whip Mode - Of the two traditional types of draw methods, the whip mode tends to get more praise. The whip included with this model is very easy to draw from with very little learning curve. The vapor quality is satisfactory to good with this method.
- Bag Mode - There are a number of unsatisfactory reviews about the herbalAire H2.2 performance in bag mode. One major problem with the herbal vaporizer is that it doesn't have an internal fan. To fill a bag, you must attach a separate air pump. An extra part means there's more to break, more to store, and more to carry, if you like to travel with your vape. Also, the balloons that are compatible with the H2.2 do not have clamps of any kind, so you have to hold them to prevent leakage. The most troubling problem with using this model is the bag mode, though, is that the holes in the screen are too large. This means that particles of herbs can fly into the bag and end up in your mouth when you draw.
- Guarantee - The herbalAire H2.2 has a 3-year warranty, which is about average for similar models. There are a few models that have longer warranties.
- Prep Time - Setting up this device is very easy. You don't even need to grind your herbs beforehand. The unitgets hot within a few minutes, so it's about as convenient as most other models, and faster than others. LED lights on the bottom make it very clear when the unit is ready.
- Heating and Temperature Regulators - The herbalAire H2.2 features an analog temperature dial, so it's not quite as precise as digital models. Still, the dial does have numbers on it, a feature not found in some competitors. This makes it easier to reset the vaporizer on the same temperature for every use. There are some reports of the herbal models running hot, which could result in combustion if you're not careful.
3 Tips - Using the herbalAire H2.2
- Runs a little hot. Start with the temperature lower and increase as needed.
- Make sure that you leave the mouthpiece in place for a minute or two with the unit hot.
