Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to the most common UK buying questions.
Which dry herb vaporiser is best in the UK?
The Storz & Bickel Mighty+ is widely considered the best portable, while the Volcano Hybrid is the gold standard for desktop use. For budget-conscious buyers, the DynaVap M7 offers incredible value at £71.
What is the best grinder for fluffy herb?
The Santa Cruz Shredder 4-Piece uses patented knurled teeth that fluff herb rather than cutting it, creating more surface area for an even burn. It's widely regarded as the best grinder money can buy.
Are smell-proof bags really odourless?
Yes — quality smell-proof bags like the Revelry Escort use activated carbon liners that trap odour molecules. Our tests confirmed zero detectable smell even with pungent material inside.
How often should I clean my bong?
Change the water daily and deep-clean with Formula 420 or isopropyl alcohol at least once a week. Dirty bong water breeds bacteria within 24 hours and ruins the flavour of your herb.
