Top 5 Best Portable Enail Devices of 2023

Awww Yeah! It’s that time of year! We’re all getting ready to pop a lil bubbly and hit the fattest blunts of the year! It’s also when we compile our best of lists. Over the past year different categories had different levels of innovation. Electric Dab Rig devices have improved their coil technology with a temperature sensor feedback loop while also increasing device durability. While electric nectar collectors have improved their coil technology and charging ports for faster charging and a better dabbing experience.

So where do Portable Enail devices rank in terms of advancement over the past year?

Ever since the first true portable e-nail by Grav, portable enails have not received that much attention, partly due to needing a pipe to accompany the device, making it not an all-in-one solution. There have been several attempts at making 3 in 1 devices which can be a pen or hookup to a pipe to be used with added water filtration, but few attempts at a true enail.

Better attempts have been made over the past year to evolve the portable email devices category than have been made in previous years, which is what made this list one of our favs to make this year!

So grab a dab and let's start working our way down this list. As always our list order is determined by our in-house experts with over 18 years of experience in the industry, in both device usage and creation.

#1 Gpen Hyer Portable Enail

Finally! A portable e-nail that looks like a darn enail! It’s been years since we’ve had a portable e-nail that actually looks and acts like an e-nail. The Gpen Hyer Portable Enail functions nearly identically to a classic enail, but this bad boy even has a dry herb attachment, say what?! (I didn't say anything, you read it, bra).

Ok so it looks dope and hooks up just like a regular enail to a rig, but how does it function?

First and foremost is the battery size, at 6,000 mAh with high-speed USB C pass-through charging, battery anxiety just isn’t a thing. You’re gonna need that big battery with the 5 power settings on this thing, ranging from 482 Degrees Fahrenheit to a holy hell 842 Degrees Fahrenheit! Durability for a portable device is important, yes the device comes with a nice hard shell travel case, but what about the actual device?

That's where this shyt gets real, when you look at an item from a top notch manufacturer, versus a knock-off, the difference in the build quality is immediately evident. Surely there will be imitators, and it’s great that this category is finally getting some long due attention, but you will always be able to tell immediately the difference between a quality build and a low quality build.

The Gpen Hyer battery is stored within an anodized aluminum casing while the coil is within a durable and insulated die-cast aluminum housing, the braided power cable uses a snap-in magnetic connection, for ease of assembly and disassembly. This is what quality looks like.

Now we get to the juicy part, the Gpen Hyer Wax Tank, which in this instance is a quartz bucket. The full quartz bucket with a custom-stamped stainless-steel heating element can heat up from 482 degrees Fahrenheit to a whopping 842 degrees Fahrenheit. That amount of power combined with the quality build and a quartz bucket, creates a dab symphony resulting in a cloud worthy of a standing ovation, a ruckus applause, a dab like that deserves to be framed and hung in the Louvre Museum.

I’ll see the quartz bucket and raise you a Gpen Hyer dry herb tank atomizer! That’s right the Gpen Hyer Portable enail also comes with a full ceramic oven for dry herb atomizer for a butane free dry herb experience. With 5 temperature settings ranging from 356 Degrees Fahrenheit to 428 Degrees Fahrenheit and a pre-heated recirculating air intake system , the taste is pure and the vaporization consistent.

With all things being considered, it’s pretty evident why the Gpen Hyer has landed itself atop our 2023 list of top portable enail devices. As the best portable enail going into 2023.

You’re welcome in advance.

#2 Ispire Wand

The Ispire wand portable enail is a first of its kind, taking induction heating technology, previously only used in big bulky electric dab rig devices and adapting to the portable enail design. If innovation was the only criteria, the Ispire Wand would surely be number 1. The heating capability of these devices is out of this world and will provide powerful tasty dabs. With precision heating and a digital display, the Ispire Wand can be set to a specific temperature. The only reason it’s not number 1 is because of the battery life and weight of the device. When using it is recommended to hold onto the Wand Portable Enail and remove it from the pipe (dab rig, bong) after dabbing. The versatility

#3 Releafy Glow Mini Portable Enail

Ok up and comer, I see you. Releafy has worked really hard over the past year in creating highly quality and sleekly designed devices. The most recent example of this is with the Releafy Glow Mini Portable Enail. The Releafy Torch 2.0 Dab Pen stands at a little over 5 inches tall, featuring a 1100mAh battery much like its predecessor. The ReleafyTorch 2.0 kit includes one ceramic coil and one quartz coil, the ceramic chamber is meant to be used with the temperature control mode, which ranges from 450 degrees, 500 degrees, and 550 degrees. The quartz chamber is meant to be used with the voltage control mode which ranges from 3.0V, 3.5V, and 4.0V.

The temperature control mode allows for a constant and stable set temperature of the devices chamber, while on the other hand voltage mode allows the temperature to increase the longer the fire button is pressed for larger dense clouds.

The Torch 2.0 also features a magnetic heat insulated top that houses the chamber, the magnetic component makes it super easy to load.

#4 Lookah Q7 Portable Enail

The Lookah Q7 is a portable electric nail professionally designed for wax made to provide the user with the same quality clean dab experience of a quartz banger without the use of a torch or desktop enail.

This innovative device features a double layer quartz dish with patented technology, a preheat function for cold start dabs, and real-time temperature control. All these features are combined to ensure the cleanest, smoothest taste out of a portable enail possible.

The Lookah Q7 was the first of its kind to apply a quartz heating chamber with a temperature sensor, this provides the real temperature of the quartz allowing the user to achieve a perfect dab for the amount or type of concentrates used. Its compact size makes this high-quality device makes it super portable to take your dabbing experience on the go.

The Lookah Q7 Portable E-nail can fit onto any water pipe that has a 14mm or 18mm male joint connection. Don't settle for those clunky desktop enails and old titanium nails with the hassle of a butane torch and enjoy the same quality with added connivence, with the Lookah Q7.

The screen displays both temperature and battery information which provides a very familiar experience to mods. Precise temperature ranges between 200°F and 750°F, meaning this portable enail can be used for all different types of wax concentrates.

#6 Lookah Q7 Mini Portable Enail

The Lookah Q7 Mini portable enail is the newly redesigned version of the original Lookah Q7 portable enail. At first glance you can see that the Q7 mini sports a miniature, less bulky, palm sized body. One of the more disliked features of the Q7 was its large size and hefty weight, making it impossible to use with a rig that is 6 Inches or smaller because the portable enail would cause the rig to tip over. The Lookah Q7 Mini's smaller size eliminates this issue and can be used with any rig of your choosing!

Another improvement seen on the Q7 Mini is that it utilizes replaceable coils instead of a quartz bucket as seen on the original Q7. We have seen it time and time again, sometimes the quartz bucket integrated into the Q7 would crack. Since the bucket is built into the device, it cannot be replaced, so if you found yourself with a crack in your insert, your Q7 would be useless. The removable and replaceable coils is a HUGE step in the right direction when it comes to the lifespan of this device!

The Lookah Q7 Mini features a 950mAh battery that is charged through a USB-C charging port, unfortunately the charger is NOT included in this kit, which weve previously seen with the Unicorn Mini. This portable enail does have an easy to read digital display and precise temperature control, similar to its predecessor, these two features paired with its smaller size definitely sets the Q7 Mini apart from other portable enails on the market today!
