When I was using Dynas a lot I had a dual honest torch and a triple torch (as well as a dual zippo torch insert), but when I switched to the tempest 2 and the dani punch 2 I picked up this green meanie.
Works a treat and the nozzle end is adjustable up and down, though I have yet to experience a scenario that required this ability :)
So what is everyone using?

Someone in another post was asking about bowl weight measurements.
So here's a totally off the cuff, not so scientific look at some popular stick vapes and what their bowls can contain.
Keep in mind the scale of the weight here, this is in points of a gram.
Camouflet XL
Mad Heaters Tempest 2
Dynavap Hyperdyn
Dani Punch 2
Camouflet
Dynavap Woodwynd
Dynavap M7 XL

In my never-ending quest to find the best battery-free dry herb stick vape, I recently spent some time with the Dani Punch 2 from Battery-Free Ganz and this vape impressed me.
First impressions: the engineering is outstanding. Real thought clearly went into the design. The airpath is refined, and small details like the reverse-threaded stem were noticed early on and appreciated.
If you already know Dynavap style devices, the learning curve here will be easy and this will feel like a serious upgrade. If you’re brand new to torch-powered stick vapes, expect some trial and error. Careless heating can easily cause combustion.
One of the standout features is the adjustable airflow. This is the only stick vape I’ve used where I can easily tweak airflow on the fly. Open it up for one hit, tighten it down for the next, or throw it on a rig without waiting for it to cool. Just twist and go.
Flavour is where the Punch 2 really shines. This is absolutely a flavour chaser’s vape. The taste of the flower comes through nicely.
Heat-up is quick, and I usually get one big draw plus a smaller follow-up before reheating. To be clear, this is not a one-hit extraction ball vape. It’s more of a relaxed session device, load it, heat it, take a couple pulls, reheat, repeat.
I prefer using a torch over an induction heater. The torch gave me more consistent results, while the IH still felt a little off. The click timing could also use refinement, the two clicks are very close together, sometimes simultaneous.
Vapour temperature is surprisingly comfortable when used natively.
Cleaning is easy overall, though I’d recommend pipe cleaners since the stem isn’t a straight through design.
The bowl size is solid and in line with comparable devices like the HyperDyn and Tempest 2. It’s also a bit more pocketable than some larger stick vapes, and the included leather sleeve is a nice touch for storing a hot device.
A couple things I’d love to see in a future version:
- Slightly longer body – more comfortable in hand
- More separated click timing – easier heat feedback
- Optional stem/accessory ecosystem – extra customization is always welcome
Overall, the Dani Punch 2 has a lot going for it. Easy recommendation for anyone in the Dynaverse looking for an upgrade, or for anyone who want a flavourful battery-free session vape.
I give the Dani Punch 2 a rating of *** (3) out of ***** (5).

Not even sure if this is on the main Arizer site yet but Great White North Vape has them.

Considering picking up a Frolic but given the price, maybe I wont.
Anyone here grabbed one? What do you think? Worth the money?

It’s time to have another go!
I was lucky enough to get my hands on the all-new Arizer Go SRT. With its good looks and Arizer’s solid pedigree, is this portable vape all about smooth clouds and tasty terps, or is it just burnt air? Let’s have a look.
Arizer has a deserved reputation for making well-made, reliable devices, and their last portable dry herb vape, the Solo III V2, is still my absolute favourite vape of all time.
The Go SRT feels like a chimera creation, designed to take the best parts of the original Arizer Go, combine them with their latest tech, and add a sprinkle of new ideas and funky flair.
This review covers the design, performance, interface, accessories, and where Arizer might go from here.
TL;DR (Too Long; Didn’t Read)
(Scroll to bottom if you want the quick pros and cons list.)
Design
Out of the box, the first thing I noticed is the styling. The retro grille, the black and chrome, this is the vape a 1950s radio DJ would have in their pocket. It draws creative cues from that era’s chunky microphones, warm, open, functional, classic, and pleasant-looking.
It feels solid, stealthy, and high quality. A small concern regarding flex in the pre-production device was addressed in the final version and is no longer an issue. Arizer acts on feedback, extra points to them.
The Go SRT logo in the bottom right pops out. Arizer is clearly proud of this device, giving the model name large placement. The round “Go” mirrors the three round buttons above it, a small but nice design touch.
The back of the device is clean, with branding only visible on the soft magnetic rubber top and underside.
It fits very nicely in the hand and slides into my pocket like some sort of modern technological vaping flask. While the Solo III V2 is comfortable, the longer horizontal build of the Go SRT rests nicer and feels better to hold. The manual even mentions using it as a hand warmer. Literally and figuratively, this device is warm and comfortable.
The Go line has always focused on portability, and this device really leans into that idea. This is the vape that wants to go on long dog walks with you.
With the Solo III V2, portability was doable but not ideal. Pack a stem, add a rubber stopper, put it in a case, it was a hassle. The Go SRT solves that. The stem tucks into the device, you slap on the magnetic lid, put it in your pocket, and go.
I never used the original Go, but while that device looked similar to other vapes of its time (like the Fury), this new version really doesn’t have a peer in the market today.
Interface
If you’ve used the Solo III V2, this interface will feel familiar. Same button lock system, same colour theme, same smiling emoji welcome.
I won’t go too deep here since it largely follows the Solo. The interface is competent and a little quirky. It’s the Arizersphere. Single clicks get things moving, double clicks dig into menus. It works, though sometimes feels slightly clunky.
As much as some people dislike apps, I would love to see Arizer offer optional app support while keeping the standalone functionality.
Personally, I would love the ability to:
- Create custom themes
- Switch layouts
- Track sessions and rate strains while vaping
All things that would be very easy to implement via mobile or desktop software.
Performance
But how does it perform?
Really well.
Heat-up time feels on par with the Solo III V2, maybe even slightly faster. Vapour production is smooth, flavourful, consistent, and exactly what I expect from Arizer.
I personally prefer lower temperature draws around 180°C (356°F) and typically find a bowl is fully cashed after two sessions, which is good efficiency.
The ability to add session time on the fly is genuinely useful and helps to avoid restarting sessions just to finish a bowl.
Performance notes:
- Heat-up feels fast (roughly Solo III V2 territory)
- Good flavour at lower temps
- Efficient extraction
- Consistent vapour quality
Battery life is good, and the addition of eco-charge in the production model is a welcome feature, especially for daily users wanting their battery to last long-term.
Capsule System
One of the bigger new ideas Arizer is exploring is a capsule system.
Users familiar with Storz & Bickel capsules may be happy to see another company exploring this direction.
My personal preference remains the one-piece aroma tube, but I can see the appeal. Arizer clearly put thought into this ecosystem.
- Insert metal screen
- Load material
- Use rubber grommet tool to insert/remove capsule
The biggest downside is bowl size reduction. The Go SRT already has a smaller bowl than the Solo III V2 XL tube, and capsules reduce it slightly further.
Arizer should consider adding a "this way up" indicator on the capsule case. I ended up applying stickers to the top of mine, as opening it the wrong way around means capsules may fall out.
Personally, I found insertion and removal slightly too fiddly to use regularly at home, im sure capsule lovers wont mind. For portability and carrying multiple pre-loads, it makes a lot of sense.
One annoyance during cleaning was the metal screen sometimes falling out. Because capsules can be extremely hot, this can be frustrating. An all-glass capsule with an airflow hole could be a nice future improvement.
Capsule system strengths:
- Great for pre-loading sessions
- Good travel solution
- Expanding ecosystem potential
Areas for improvement:
- Easier insertion/removal
- No loose screen parts
- Slightly larger capacity
Accessories
The accessories for the Go SRT are excellent and show real thought. (purchased separately).
Accessories Include:
- Capsule carrying case (holds up to 10)
- New Arizer grinder filling system
- Arizer flower storage unit
- Multiple grinder configuration options
The grinder system is especially clever:
Want just a grinder? Done!
Want capsule storage? Done!
Want to grind directly into capsules? Done!
Want to make a tiny hockey puck and complain about Canada getting robbed in Olympic hockey? Done! ;)
Arizer clearly put serious thought into the accessory ecosystem. Even though capsules aren’t my main use, I respect the design effort and the thought behind it.
Who This Device Is For
Best suited for:
- People who value portability first
- Walkers, commuters, and outdoor users
- Stealth users
- Session sippers rather than heavy bowl users
- Users who like pre-loaded capsules
- People who found the Solo III V2 less convenient to carry
Less ideal for:
- Heavy users wanting large bowls
- People who dislike small removable parts
- Users wanting maximum power over portability
The Go SRT feels like Arizer’s most lifestyle focused vape rather than their most performance focused one. It knows exactly what it wants to be.
Future Improvements
The next logical steps could be:
- Slightly larger bowls
- More flexible interface options
- Optional app support
- Modular add-ons (maybe?)
- Further capsule refinement
- Easier capsule handling
- Capsule use without metal screen
Verdict
So where does the Go SRT land among Arizer devices?
This is not a Solo III V2 replacement. It trades bowl size and some simplicity for portability and convenience.
But you gain:
- Better portability
- Sleeker, cool form factor
- Better pocketability
- Stealth
While the Solo III V2 is still my favourite vape overall, I find myself reaching for the Go SRT more often, so what does that say?
Arizer clearly knows what they’re doing. They stick to what works, experiment where it makes sense, and listen to feedback. That’s exactly what I want to see from a company.
I think they took a risk here and succeeded in many ways. I genuinely hope they keep pushing their creativity further.
Score Breakdown
Design: 4.5 / 5
Performance: 4 / 5
Portability: 5 / 5
Accessories: 4.5 / 5
Interface: 3.75 / 5
Value: 4 / 5
Average Score: 4.3 / 5
Final Verdict:
The Go SRT is Arizer’s best portability focused vape to date, trading bowl size for convenience that I suspect a lot of users will enjoy.
TL;DR
Pros:
- Looks retro and cool (hard to go wrong with black and chrome!)
- Feels very comfortable in hand and pocket
- Accessories go above and beyond
- Generous three stems included:
- 14mm water pipe tube
- Capsule stem
- Aroma tube
- Multiple ways to carry capsules
- Good battery life with quick charge and eco-charge
- Magnets are convenient (how do they work?)
- Hand warmer idea is actually practical for Canadian winters
- Very stealthy size and appearance
- Stem slips inside device for a big portability win
Cons:
- Bowl size is small
- Capsule system is not entirely there for me, yet
- Slightly less powerful feeling than Solo III V2 (though close in practice)
- Multiple removable parts could worry people prone to losing things (though I never did)
Final Score:
A solid 4.3 / 5
P.S. I would love to see any manufacturer include the ability to rate a strain while vaping. This isn’t Arizer specific, but being able to set up my device, catalogue what I’m vaping, and rate the strain at the same time would be a killer feature.
Someone get on that please. ;)
