Tis the reason for the season and we've got high expectations for our deals today, including a new deal on our top vape. Check out our Deals page for more great discounts on Wirecutter’s expert-approved picks.

Marijuana has gone mainstream. All told, 38 states (and our nation’s capital) have legalized medical marijuana, with many also decriminalizing recreational use. We’ve come a long way from the anti-pot propaganda of Reefer Madness.

For many, a vaporizer makes smoking an easier, more efficient experience. We’ve rounded up the best deals we can find on our experts' favorite portable vapes in honor of the annual cannabis celebration that is 4/20.

Pax 3 Portable Vaporizer (Complete Kit, select colors) — Top PickDeal price: $160; street price: $200

What we like: A portable vape beloved by budtenders. Smart design is optimal for both newbies and seasoned stoners. Produced tasty vapor during testing. Reservoir holds enough material to last several session rotations. Portable enough to neatly fit into a purse or pocket. Easy to clean thanks to included cleaning kit.

Other things to know: The Pax 3 has been discontinued by PAX, but is still being supported. Still worth it when you can find it, especially on sale. Complete kit comes with the flat mouthpiece, raised mouthpiece, USB charging cable, maintenance kit, standard oven lid, half-pack oven lid, concentrate insert, and keychain multi-tool.

DaVinci Miqro Portable Vaporizer — Another Good OptionDeal price: $69 with promo code DEAL30; street price: $100

What we like: Ultra-portable, mostly conduction-heated vaporizer that our test panelists enjoyed using. Can be used while charging (the updated version charges via USB-C). Affordable.
