Healthy Rips Rogue Review – Faster than the Fury Edge.

How to use

Just like the previous Healthy Rips vaporizers, the Healthy Rips rogue is used by way of buttons and OLED display. The power button will turn the unit on after a quick triple-click. Using the + and – buttons will adjust your temperature accordingly.

The best way how to use the Healthy Rips Rogue is by packing it full with ground dry herb and packing it in just a little bit. You can of course use the full un-ground herb in it, however, the performance will not be quite as good as if you use it.

Temperature Flexibility

At 280°F – 430°F / 138°C – 221°C, you’re given plenty of room to play with in terms of the ideal temperature setting. We’d recommend around 190°C (375°F) for first-timers and adjusting it as you feel necessary.

We enjoy this really wide range too because it’s great for vaporizing alternative herbs such as sage or damiana which prefer a lower setting than most vaporizers offer. All in all, the Healthy Rips Rogue does great with the temperature variety.

Vapor Quality

Ever since the Fury 2 released we’ve seen a big wave of compact hybrid herb vaporizers hit the market. Next the Healthy Rips Fierce, Fury Edge and now the Rogue, each of these incremental upgrades has shown us the power that portable dry herb vaporizers can yield.

In this case, the Rogue hits it out of the park with delicious and thick vapor, depending on how you set your temperature. A slightly increased chamber size of 13mm (up from 11mm on the Fury Edge) allows for even more herb to be packed in and increase the potential of the vaporizer.

If we’re completely honest, it still doesn’t beat out the likes of the Mighty and MiniVAP in terms of smoothness or flavor, however it definitely closes the gap a good amount compared to devices of generations past. It also heats up in about 20 seconds which is definitely nice and speedy!

Manufacturing Quality

Consistent with previous units, the Healthy Rips Rogue uses a Kirksite alloy device with a matte rubberized coating. Nice grip, great in the hands, sleek, and discreet – all things nice.

In terms of reliability we’ve seen Healthy Rips devices be pretty robust with errors and faulty units being few and far between.

What you get in the box is a full kit including o-rings, protective cover, glass mouthpiece, regular mouthpiece, cleaning kit, user manual, charger, and other small bits and bobs. Overall, it’s top notch and we can’t find anything to complain about – especially for the price.

Battery Life

3,000mAh is what the Healthy Rips Rogue has for a battery. To put that into perspective, the Fury Edge had a 2300mAh cell and the Fury 2 a teeny 1600mAh chunk of power.

USB-C quick-charging to top up in less than 2 hours seals the deal and while it’s not a removable 18650 battery, we’re not too bothered about that. In the end you’ll get around 8-10 sessions from a single charge which is more than enough for prolonged sessions and adventures.

Portability

Moderately larger than the Fury Edge and hitting the scales at aprox. 189g/6.7oz, it’s definitely small enough to carry in the pocket or a bag without issue.

You’ll still feel it in the pocket and take note of the little chunk, but it’s by no means unwieldy or bothersome to take around.

Ease of Use

The Healthy Rips Rogue hits a sweet spot where you get lots of versatility by way of temperature control, session timer, and accessories, but still with super simple operation to get going. That’s partly thanks to the OLED display.

First-timers and vets alike will have a great time with picking up this unit and cleaning is also not such a hassle – simply soak the glass pieces and mouthpiece assembly in isopropyl alcohol and rinse after ~15 minutes. Should be clean as a whistle afterwards!

Discreetness

While it’s not petite like the G Pen Dash or Dynavap M, we don’t reckon it’ll bring much attention to you – especially with how common e-juice vapes are these days. The matte black design is inconspicuous and doesn’t scream for attention.

Of course using it public will generate some smell and unless you’re a wizard, there’s no way to make that disappear. Be mindful of where you are/who you’re around and you should be good!
