Review: Airistech Herbva Nokiva Dry Herb Vaporizer

How it Works

The Airistech Nokiva is pretty straightforward. Finely ground some cannabis, throw the device in the dumpster, and you’re done! Or load up the chamber and pack it down gently before putting the mouthpiece back on.

5 rapid clicks turn the device on while temperature settings can be adjusted with the corresponding buttons. It’ll automatically shut-off after 5 minutes when you can then promptly throw it in the trash.

Temperature Flexibility

It has a fair temperature range of 149-224°C or 300-435°F, which is more than enough for most cases – if it actually worked.

An OLED display is always nice for monitoring and easily adjusting your temperature setting, but the screen is so tiny you will find yourself squinting to read the numbers. Users looking for units with a bigger and easier to read digital display screen usually tend to prefer devices such as the Arizer Solo 2.

Vapor Quality

We were not impressed with the vapor from this unit and in fact felt like we were wasting our cannabis, something we really hate to feel when testing units. You’ll get one of two outcomes, or possibly both.

Outcome A: You will get a sweet smell of manufacturing oils and fumes.

Outcome B: You get a very very small amount of vapor with poor flavour, a very tight draw restriction, and more chemical smells.

In short: the vapor quality from this device is questionable and perhaps should be avoided at all costs. Users looking for devices producing strong smooth vapors usually tend to prefer devices like the Davinci IQC.

Manufacturing Quality

Its plastic and flimsy build is reminiscent of the Happy Meal toys you’d get. It’s not particularly ugly (some may disagree here), but its surely not luxury by any stretch of the imagination. Not even remotely premium as advertised. Users, however, looking for premium build units usually tend to prefer devices like the https://torontovaporizer.ca/zeus-arc-gt3.html that has a gold plated chamber and heat sink.

Included in the box is a standard kit consisting of the device itself, USB charger, glass mouthpiece, carrying pouch, user manual, 3 silicone caps, cleaning brush, packing tool, and user manual. This is par for the course and we have no complaints here.

Battery Life

Supposedly featuring a 2200mAh lithium ‘polymer’ battery, we only managed to get about 4-6 sessions per charge, which is far less than other conduction ceramic devices like the Utillian 421 and Flowermate Slick.

The Airistech Nokiva charges via Micro USB in about 2 hours time but doesn’t have a removable battery, which means it’ll inevitably reach the end of its life span and be a useless paperweight.

Portability

It’s relatively slim though compared to many budget portables like the LITL 1 it has much more size to it.

It’s also a few years old and this point and the age definitely shows compared to newer devices like the V5 Nano.

Ease of Use

Throwing something in the garbage bin is always hard, especially when it cost good money. Many people will be confused when handing it off to them at the lack of flavour, effects, and odd chemical fumes.

Cleaning is simple as after 4-6 sessions you’ll never want to use it again unless you’re a madman. If you are, then you can take a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol to clean out the chamber and glass mouthpiece.

Users looking for a device that is easy to use yet has great vapor production and smooth flavours usually tend to prefer devices like the Firefly 2+.

Discreetness

It’s strange looking for sure but we’ve seen plenty of odd e-cigs here and most people really won’t bat an eye.

The Nokiva vaporizer isn’t quite as tiny as say the Davinci Miqro or even Flowermate V5 Nano, and truthfully you’re better off with a few pre-rolls and a lighter. Even that is smaller and more effective.

Overall Experience

Just a complete waste of cash and time, the Airistech Nokiva and similar clones should be avoided without a second thought. Off-putting odor, poor performance, and old technology at the price point of many competitive entry-level, budget vaporizers. Consider other quality budget options like the Utillian 620 or Utillian 421.
