7th Floor SideKick

The 7th Floor SideKick comes from a brand that knows its way around serious vaporizer hardware. 7th Floor, based in the US, built its reputation through desktop units like the DBV and LSV before expanding into portables. The SideKick carries that heritage into a pocket-sized form. It uses conduction heating, reaches up to 243°C, and backs that with a 3100mAh battery — one of the larger battery capacities you'll find in a portable vaporizer. That combination means you're not compromising on temperature ceiling or runtime to get something that fits in a bag. The 35-second heat-up time is reasonable given the battery size and maximum temperature. Both passthrough charging and a user-replaceable battery are on board, which is an unusual level of flexibility. Swap in a fresh battery and you're back to full capacity instantly — a feature that road warriors and heavy users will genuinely appreciate. Dosing capsules are included, adding a level of convenience to the conduction experience that helps with even extraction and cleanup. The SideKick is not targeted at beginners. It's an enthusiast-grade portable that rewards users who take the time to understand how to work a conduction device properly — managing temperature, stirring between draws, and learning the sweet spots for their material. One year of warranty is standard for 7th Floor. For experienced users looking for a portable that doesn't feel like a step down from a desktop setup, the SideKick makes a compelling argument.
