Vapor Cups are a fairly new category of extract vaporizers with a unique usage process and a wow factor. I’ve used the most popular ones and selected the five best options in 2024. This list is updated regularly as new vapes come out, and I get to test them. Read more ↓
How we test vaporizers
Our team of expert testers has been evaluating vaporizers since 2010, spanning over 2,000 devices, from portable to battery-free vaporizers and everything in between. Each vaporizer undergoes a comprehensive process, with testing to assess performance, vapor quality, battery life, and durability. We use specialized equipment like thermal cameras for heat distribution analysis and conduct full teardowns to inspect air paths and internal components, ensuring safety and build quality. By testing each device with the same herb or concentrate and at constant temperatures, we maintain consistent benchmarks across all reviews.
Why You Can Trust Us
Our reviews are fully independent, backed by affiliate revenue rather than brand sponsorships, allowing us to remain unbiased. With deep roots in the vaporizer community, we integrated user feedback and expert insights to reflect real-world usage in our evaluations. We share transparent, long-term testing results, including follow-ups on our YouTube channel, where you can see each device in action and in-depth reviews.
Tronian Omegatron
The Omegatron joins a fast-growing list of “vapor cup” style vaporizers. It is compatible with dabs as well as 510 carts, and it has an internal pump that extracts the vapor into a glass cup. You can then consume or “sip” it on demand, having full control over how much vapor you sip with every inhale. The Tronian is fun to use and has a wow factor, especially once the creamy clouds start flowing into the cup. It provides great value for the price.Read full review
Zenco Duo
The Zenco Duo is a “vapor cup” that allows users to “drink” their vapor. The device is wireless, charges via USB-C, and works with both dabs and cartridges. Drinking the vapor, provides a unique and enjoyable experience with smooth and flavorful output. Despite minor drawbacks like the plastic build and potential fit issues with taller cartridges, the Zenco Duo offers a distinct vaping experience.Read full review
Pulsar Sipper
At first glance, the Pulsar Sipper may look like a typical eRig, but it is not. It has unique features such as an internal air pump to extract the vapor, then it stores it in the glass attachment, and it can be “sipped” on-demand. This separation of the “extraction” and “consumption” makes a more laid-back experience that is appealing, especially for new users. The Sipper is an innovative and functional device that comes at a lower price tag than comparable rigs.Read full review

Vapor Cups are the fastest-growing and most exciting category of concentrate vaporizers and have a unique (and potent) experience.
The list above represents the highest-rated vapor cups of 2024 and is regularly updated as new vaporizers are released. I also included coupon codes when available. Let me know if any needs to be fixed.

What are vapor cups?
Vapor cups are concentrate vaporizers that use an internal pump that extracts vapor (from dabs or 510 carts) into a “cup,” which can then be “sipped” on-demand by the user.
This innovative design offers a clean and controlled way to vaporize concentrates, plus it has a unique “wow” effect as the vapor fills the cup. Vapor cups are exceptionally approachable for new users, offering a simple usage experience.
Most vapor cups are compatible with both dab concentrates and 510 thread carts.
Benefits of using a vapor cup
- Flexible Use: Unlike traditional vaporizers, where you have a continuous stream of vapor, with a vapor cup, you can sip as much vapor as you want at your own pace. This feature is especially beneficial for beginners, but it also packs a punch that will hit experienced users. This brings us to #2- potency.
- Potency: Msot Vapor cups have a pretty large cup that contains a lot of vapor. Sipping it is effortless compared to most vapes' traditional “inhale-to-extract” concept. Separating the extraction and inhalation allows a huge intake of vapor that will otherwise be inhaled slowly over a session of a few minutes. I've seen vapor cups hit (especially new users) very hard.
- Ideal for Sharing: Vapor cups offer a unique and hygienic way to share vapes. Instead of passing around a device, users can take turns sipping from the cup (even with individual straws). This method reduces direct contact with the device, making it a more sanitary option for group sessions. Plus, it adds a communal aspect to the vaping experience, which is great for social settings.
- Wow Factor: Watching the vapor fill up the cup before sipping provides a visually engaging and novel experience. This feature not only enhances the user's personal enjoyment but also makes it a conversation starter and an attractive option for entertaining guests.
