The POTV One is a portable dry herb vaporizer and the newest iteration in Planet of the Vapes’ lineup. The ONE vaporizer is slightly different from all other POTV devices, and I’ll compare the differences in this POTV One review below.
The POTV One vaporizer is a hybrid (convection and conduction) dry herb vaporizer with some new upgrades and changes that make it a top contender for the best portable vaporizer under $100.
This ONE portable vaporizer comes with a full temp spectrum, digital display, fast heat-up times, haptic feedback, and big rips all packed into a small and compact size. The unit holds about .15g making it really strong for solo use or with a friend, but it doesn’t do all that well in group situations.
The only place to get the ONE is directly from Planet of the Vapes. Luckily they are one of my favorite distributors because they have fast free shipping, excellent customer service, and they include freebies with your purchase. You can pick one up directly from POTV here for $99. Please read on below to get my full POTV ONE review.

ONE Portability, Size, and Build Quality
The POTV One vaporizer is the perfect size to take with you anywhere. It’s compact and feels sturdy thanks to the zinc-based alloy shell. The unit is very portable and fits great in my pocket.
The part I was originally worried about was the glass mouthpiece. However, it does not stick out very far, and it’s extra thick, so I have had no problems at all keeping it in my pocket. The mouthpiece has even survived a handful of ski crashes.
The unit weighs 130 grams, which is about what I would expect for its size. It’s not quite as light as the Pax Plus, but it’s lighter than other portables I frequently use, like the Crafty+.
The buttons feel nice, and the display looks good with all the relevant information included. My only complaint about the display is it can get a bit hard to see on very sunny days.
What’s included + Optional ONE accessories
What’s Included with the ONE
- ONE Vaporizer
- (2) Mouthpieces
- (1) Dosing capsule
- Extra screen and O-ring
- USB Charging Cord
- Oil and Wax Pad
- Wax Tool
- User Manual
Extra “ONE” Accessories – The ONE vaporizer comes with everything you need to vape both dry herbs and concentrates. It comes with an extra screen, extra mouthpieces, cleaning tools… literally everything you need and then some. These are a few items that I recommend to take the POTV One session to the next level.
Herb Grinder – The first accessory I always recommend with a vaporizer is a grinder. A grinder will help break down your herbs and help the vaporizer to be more efficient.
The ONE doesn’t come with a grinder, but you can pick up the POTV 4 Piece Grinder for $20. It’s not the best, and it’s far from the worst. If you’re looking for something with a little smoother grind and higher quality, I recommend checking out my best herb grinder page for more options.
Water Pipe Adapter (WPA) – The $99 kit comes with one accessory option. You can choose between the mini bubbler, the curved mini bubbler, the water pipe adapter (pictured above), or the bent mouthpiece (picture below).
Bent Mouthpiece (Black) – I personally recommend getting the WPA and picking up some glass for use at home. One of the most enjoyable session experiences with the ONE is ripping a bowl through a bubbler or bong. You will be shocked at just how powerful this little guy is.
Glass Options – The ONE can absolutely MILK this massive beaker-style glass water pipe I got from vapor and works perfectly with your normal-sized water bubblers like the one from Sneaky Pete below.
He’s sold out of the small one, but he still has the big globe for sale, and I highly recommend them both.
Heating, Vapor Path, and Temperature Options
Heating – This unit uses a hybrid conduction and convection heating system with an isolated air path. Unlike all of the other variants of this vape, which use the NiChr heating element, the ONE uses a stainless steel heating element, which I prefer overall. However, it does add a couple of seconds to the heat up time, which is around 30 seconds.
The heater in this unit is actually very powerful for the size of the vape. So expect shorter sessions with this vape than most the others in the same price category. In fact, if you have iron lungs, you can basically clear an entire bowl in 1 long draw with the bubbler attachment.
Vapor Path – The vapor path is completely isolated from the electronics and starts with a stainless steel heater. It then goes through the titanium chamber and ends up at the glass mouthpiece. A tiny piece of silicone is used to make the seal between the mouthpiece and the bowl.
Overall I am very pleased with the heating system and vapor path, especially considering the price.
Temp Options – The unit is fully adjustable from 320F to 430F. The higher temps get harsher, so I generally stick around 370 or 380 unless I use the bubbler or water pipe adapter. The temp buttons are easy to press and responsive.
Chamber Info and Draw Resistance
Chamber Info – The ONE has a small to medium-sized bowl that generally holds about .15 grams of dry herb in the chamber. I have managed to get around .2 in there when it’s smashed in, but I prefer packing .1-.15 for best results. This is usually great for 1 or 2 people, but if you need something for groups near the same price range, you might want to consider the Pax 2 or the Boundless CF.
Draw Resistance – The draw resistance on the ONE is on the low side when it’s not packed too tightly, which I really enjoy. With the powerful heater and low draw resistance, you can finish bowls quicker than the other units in this price category.
POTV ONE Battery Information
Battery Specifications – The ONE uses an internal 1600 mAh LiPo battery. It’s NOT replaceable and can be charged via a Micro-USB charging cord. I recommend picking up an external battery charger if you think you’ll be using it for long day adventures. The ONE has decent battery life for the size, but it’s not going to last you all day.
Battery Life – I have been getting around 30 to 45 minutes of battery life per full charge. This is reasonable for the size and price of the device. Since the unit has a powerful heater and fast sessions, it can actually vape a large amount of herb on a single charge despite not having a record-setting battery length.
Charging times – A fully drained ONE takes about 90 minutes to charge to full. This is about what I expected and nothing to brag or complain about.
POTV One Review Summary
Overall the ONE is an excellent portable vaporizer. It uses a Stainless Steel heater, Titanium Chamber, and a glass mouthpiece for a pure, flavorful session.
This unit scores very well in size, portability, draw resistance, and power. I wish it had a bit longer battery life, and occasionally I find myself wishing it had a larger bowl, but overall the ONE is really great for the price.
I personally think the best accessory option is the water pipe adapter and then purchase some cheap glass for use at home because this thing rips, and it’s enjoyable to use with water.
The POTV ONE retails for $99, and you can click here to get it directly from Planet of the Vapes—the only place it’s sold.
