Vaporizers
by Vapman
The Vapman 2.0 is a manual butane vaporizer that extracts maximum flavour and potency from as little as 0.1 g of herb or concentrate. Handcrafted in Switzerland from speciality wood, stainless steel, and a 24K gold-plated brass chamber, it looks and performs like nothing else in the portable vape category. No batteries, no screens, no apps — just a flame, your lungs, and complete control over every draw.
We've handled dozens of vaporizers behind the counter over the years, and the Vapman is the one that makes people stop and actually look at it. It sits in your palm like a carved pipe from another century. The weight is minimal — lighter than a Zippo — but the wood grain and gold-plated bowl give it a presence that cheap anodised aluminium never will. If you care more about tasting your terpenes than blowing clouds across the room, this is your vape.
The Vapman 2.0 is a connoisseur's tool designed by Swiss inventor René, a herbal medicine enthusiast who spent years refining a minimalist vaporizer that prioritises taste and efficiency over raw vapour volume. Every single unit is assembled by hand using 100% raw, natural materials — no plastics, no silicone gaskets, no circuit boards.
At the centre sits a tiny vok-shaped bowl made from 24K gold-plated brass. Gold plating isn't just for show here: it provides even heat distribution across the entire chamber surface, which means your herb gets extracted thoroughly rather than scorched on one side and left green on the other. The result is a draw that's packed with terpene flavour — you'll taste notes in your flower you never noticed through a glass pipe or a session vape.
The body is carved from olive wood on this variant. It's warm to the touch even before you heat it, with visible grain patterns that make each piece genuinely unique. The stainless-steel mouthpiece includes an adjustable airflow ring — tighten it for a restricted, flavour-dense draw, or open it up for slightly cooler vapour with more volume. Three seconds of heat from a single-flame torch, and you're pulling clean, tasty vapour. That's it. The entire ritual takes under ten seconds from flame to inhale.
The honest limitation: this is not a cloud machine. If you want thick, visible exhales or back-to-back session hits for a group, the Vapman will frustrate you. It's built for solo use, small loads, and deliberate pacing. Think espresso, not a pint.
The Vapman 2.0 currently ships in Olive Wood. Olive wood is dense, naturally oily, and resistant to heat — it won't crack or dry out with regular use the way softer woods might. The grain patterns are distinctive on every unit, so yours will look slightly different from the product photo. That's the point: it's handmade, not stamped out of a mould.
Stocks on the Vapman are limited. René's workshop produces small batches, and once a run sells out, restocks can take weeks. If you're reading this and it's in stock, don't sit on it.

Each Vapman 2.0 ships as a complete kit. Inside the box you'll find:
You will need a single-flame butane torch lighter — a standard soft flame or multi-jet torch won't give you the precision this vape demands. If you don't already own one, grab a quality single-flame torch before your Vapman arrives.
Complete your setup: pair the Vapman 2.0 with a reliable single-flame torch lighter and a quality herb grinder for a consistent, fine grind that loads perfectly into the 0.1 g chamber. A small stash jar keeps your ground herb fresh between sessions.
Most portable vaporizers try to be everything to everyone. Session vapes heat a full oven and keep it cooking whether you're drawing or not — which means wasted herb and muted flavour by the third hit. On-demand electronic vapes get closer, but they still rely on batteries that degrade, firmware that glitches, and heating elements wrapped in plastic housings.
The Vapman sidesteps all of that. No battery means nothing to charge, nothing to degrade, and nothing to fail on you mid-session. No electronics means no planned obsolescence. The gold-plated brass chamber doesn't wear out, the stainless steel won't corrode, and the olive wood body actually develops more character over time. We've seen Vapman units from the first generation still in daily rotation — they age like good leather.
Then there's the efficiency argument. At 0.05–0.1 g per load, you're using a fraction of what a typical session vape demands. If you currently load 0.2–0.3 g into a Mighty or an Arizer, switching to the Vapman could cut your herb consumption by half or more. Over weeks and months, that adds up to serious savings — easily enough to pay for the vape itself.
And the flavour. We keep coming back to this because it's the thing that converts people. The first draw from a freshly loaded Vapman is startlingly clear. You taste the citrus in a Lemon Haze, the pine in an OG Kush, the sweetness in a Gelato — terpene profiles that get flattened or burned off in most other devices. According to Healthline's overview on vaping versus smoking, vaporizers use concentrated extracts or ground dry herb at lower temperatures, which preserves compounds that combustion destroys. The Vapman takes that principle and refines it to its logical extreme: the smallest possible chamber, the most even heat distribution, and total manual control over temperature.
The trade-off is the learning curve. Your first few sessions will probably produce thin wisps or nothing at all while you figure out the flame distance, heating time, and draw speed. Give it five to ten bowls. Once the technique clicks — and it does click — you'll wonder why you ever needed a digital display to tell you when to inhale.
If you're considering a manual vape, you've likely come across a few alternatives. Here's how the Vapman stacks up against two popular options we also carry or know well.
| Feature | Vapman 2.0 | DynaVap M | Lotus Vaporizer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chamber Size | 0.05–0.1 g | ~0.1 g | ~0.15 g |
| Heat-Up Time | 3–4 seconds | 5–10 seconds | 3–5 seconds |
| Temperature Indicator | Manual feel (no click) | Audible click cap | Manual feel |
| Chamber Material | 24K gold-plated brass | Stainless steel | Stainless steel |
| Body Material | Handcrafted wood | Stainless steel | Hardwood + metal plate |
| Airflow Control | Adjustable ring on mouthpiece | Airport hole (finger cover) | Draw speed only |
| Best For | Flavour chasing, microdosing | Versatility, beginner-friendly | Bigger draws, water pipe use |
| Handmade | Yes — Swiss workshop | No — machined | Yes — small batch |
The DynaVap is brilliant for beginners because the click cap takes the guesswork out of heating. It's more forgiving and less expensive. But it doesn't match the Vapman's flavour clarity or the tactile pleasure of holding a handcrafted wood body. The Lotus delivers bigger hits and works well through a water pipe, but it's bulkier and less pocketable. We'd pick the Vapman if flavour and efficiency are your top priorities and you enjoy the ritual of learning a manual technique.
The Vapman 2.0 uses only three material families, and each one earns its place.
Olive wood body: Dense, tight-grained, and naturally resistant to moisture. Olive wood has been used for kitchen utensils and tool handles for centuries precisely because it handles heat and repeated use without splitting. In your hand, it feels smooth and slightly warm — a world apart from the cold metal tubes most vapes are made from. Each piece is turned individually, so the grain pattern on your Vapman is one of a kind.
24K gold-plated brass chamber: Gold is chemically inert — it doesn't react with your herb, doesn't off-gas at vaping temperatures, and doesn't impart any taste. The brass underneath provides excellent thermal conductivity, spreading heat from the torch evenly across the entire bowl surface. The vok shape (like a tiny wok) means herb sits in a curved bed rather than a flat surface, which promotes even extraction from all sides. This is the engineering detail that gives the Vapman its signature flavour clarity.
Stainless steel mouthpiece and internals: Medical-grade stainless steel for the vapour path means zero contamination between the chamber and your lips. The adjustable airflow ring is machined to tight tolerances — it clicks into position and stays put. No wobble, no accidental shifts mid-draw.
There are no plastics anywhere in the vapour path. No silicone seals, no rubber grommets, no glues near the heating zone. Every material the vapour touches is either gold, brass, or stainless steel. For anyone who's ever tasted that faint plasticky note from a cheap vape's mouthpiece, the Vapman is a revelation.
Solo users who prioritise flavour and efficiency over big clouds. If you enjoy tasting individual terpene profiles, want to microdose with 0.05–0.1 g loads, and appreciate handcrafted objects, the Vapman was designed specifically for you. It's not a party vape — it's a personal ritual.
It's one of the best manual vapes for microdosing on the market. The chamber holds just 0.05–0.1 g, and even half-loads extract efficiently thanks to the gold-plated brass bowl's even heat distribution. Dosages as small as 0.05 g are effective according to user reports from dedicated vape review communities.
Yes. The gold-plated brass chamber handles both dry herb and concentrates. For concentrates, use a very small amount — a rice-grain-sized dab — and heat for slightly less time than you would with flower. The non-reactive gold surface cleans up easily afterwards.
A single-flame butane torch lighter. Multi-jet torches run too hot and make it nearly impossible to control temperature precisely. Standard soft-flame lighters (like a Bic) don't produce enough focused heat. A single-flame jet is the only way to get consistent results.
Yes, and that's the one honest caveat. Expect 5–10 bowls before you nail the technique — flame distance, heating duration, and draw speed all interact. Once it clicks, the process becomes second nature. Most users report that the learning phase is part of what makes the Vapman satisfying to use.
The DynaVap's click cap makes temperature control foolproof, which is great for beginners. The Vapman demands more technique but rewards you with cleaner flavour from its gold-plated chamber and a more refined feel from the handcrafted wood body. If flavour matters most, the Vapman wins. If ease of use matters most, start with a DynaVap.
Tap out spent herb after each session and brush the chamber with a soft bristle brush. The gold plating resists residue buildup naturally. For deeper cleaning, a cotton bud with a drop of isopropyl alcohol on the chamber and mouthpiece does the job. Avoid soaking the wood body — just wipe it with a dry cloth.
Indefinitely, with basic care. There are no batteries to degrade, no heating elements to burn out, and no electronics to fail. The gold plating, stainless steel, and olive wood are all materials that hold up to years of daily use. First-generation Vapman units are still going strong after a decade.
