Quick Review

 
Manufacturer: Sonic
 

The Good:

It's easily transported and looks really cool. Heats up quickly and allows user temperature control with a bright digital display. It's got a huge herb chamber and the heating element won't combust or waste your blends.
 

The Bad:

Only charges indoors with an AC Adapter; no USB charger included. Heat button looks like it should be the power on/off button, but it isn't.
 
THE BOTTOM LINE

One of the best portable vaporizers we have tested for flowers. Goes anywhere easily in your pocket or satchel. Bright digital display tells you exactly how hot the unit is. Fast heat-up and won’t combust or burn your product.

Full Review

There’s a brand new portable vaporizer out there and I was so excited to get it to review. I’ve been looking for a portable vaporizer that works well with herbs and I am happy to report that the Sonic Vaporizer has filled that need.

First thing I noticed about this handheld vape is how sleek and attractive it is. Right out of the box all you have to do is screw in the draw-stem/mouthpiece and charge the unit using the AC adapter that’s included. Loading the herb chamber is really easy. It snaps open and shut with powerful magnets to keep the herb enclosed if the unit is jostled around while in your pocket or handbag. Setting your temperature is ridiculously easy too; there’s a one-button activator with a digital display. What’s more, Sonic improved upon the design of the Iolite WiSPR so you have the cool walkie-talkie style aesthetic without having to load up butane and click an annoying switch to activate the heating element.

Then there’s the Sonic’s performance: WOW. This thing draws clean and powerfully like an Arizer Solo but it is cheaper and easier to carry on the go. I got about ten good pulls from 3 pinches of ground-up ganja before I had to replace the bowl. This is pretty standard, but the consistency of the vapor was amazing and I will end up saving a lot of money on my herb.

Maintenance of the Sonic is an absolute dream. The unit comes with three replacement screens which can be easily changed. There’s also a handy cleaning tool on the bottom of the device so you can easily sweep out the grounds from the screen and herb chamber and get ready for another go-round!

It’s only compatible with the dry blends, so if you’re into concentrates, this isn’t the unit for you. That’s really a minor complaint though. Another minor gripe is that the button on the front looks like it should be the on/off switch, but it’s actually the heating element activator. The on/off switch is actually located on the side above the temp control. The only thing I really didn’t like is that the cord for the AC Adapter is pretty short and there’s no USB charger included so you can take it on the road but can’t effectively charge it unless you’re indoors.

    In your review you compare it to the solo, are you saying it has a restrictive “milkshake” draw like the solo? or wide open no restriction like the davinci? ive gotta say it looks like a re-cased davinci but if it functions just as well its definately an improvement.

    Interesting vaporizer. I would be curious to see how it works in person.

    Are there any demos?

    is the straw flexible or hard? does the herb chamber stay closed? could it open in your pocket accidentaly? is sonic owned by davinci? also.. when are these videos supposed to be up?

      So many questions! :)

      “is the straw flexible or hard?”
      - Flexible, like soft rubber.

      “does the herb chamber stay closed?”
      - Yep, it’s magnetized.

      “could it open in your pocket accidentaly?”
      - I can’t think of a way it could, it’s quite secure.

      “is sonic owned by davinci?”
      - No, and I’ve seen this strange rumor on other sites. It kind of looks like the DaVinci, but it is 100% NOT owned by DaVinci.

      “also.. when are these videos supposed to be up?”
      - Soon … Thank you for your patience!
