Sidekick Vaporizer

The Sidekick vaporizer is produced by the reputable 7th Floor, known for the Da Buddha desktop vaporizer. The Sidekick vaporizer features 22 digital temperature control settings ranging between 248°F (120°C) to 469°F (243°C). The Sidekick ceramic heating element can evaporate various materials from herbs, concentrates, and waxes by utilizing both conduction and convection vaporizing methods. Powered by two Li-Ion batteries, the vaporizer comes with a stirring mechanism ensuring uniform vaporization. The cooling mechanism is the most exciting part of this device; it looks like a screw and smoothens the vapor as it passes through the spiral path.

Description

7th Floor is well known for its high-quality desktop vaporizers like the Silver Surfer, Da Buddha, and the Life Saber. With the Sidekick, they bring their first portable vaporizer to the market. It has excellent features like a built-in stirring tool, a cooling system, a removable glass vapor path, and more.

Design

The Sidekick is made from metal with an aluminum shell, giving this vaporizer a premium look and feel. Due to the ergonomic shape, you can hold it easily in your hands. It uses ceramic, stainless steel, and glass parts; this vape has no plastic parts. Furthermore, the air path is separated from the electronics by a lid, making it more healthy and giving you pure clouds.

Battery

7th Floor has chosen to equip the Sidekick with two 18350 batteries. Both batteries charge very fast, as the sidekick comes with a dual charger. When both batteries are inserted, charging them only takes about 30 – 45 minutes. It includes two batteries, which are good for around six sessions.

Portability

The Sidekick uses a lot of metal, so it is pretty heavy, 0.71 lbs. Besides the weight, it is quite big for a portable vaporizer, 5 x 2.24 x 1.26 inches, which doesn’t make it the most portable device on the market. Considering that you will have to bring the extra batteries, as discussed before, it will be a lot for a portable unit. However, the 7th Floor includes a carrying case where you can put all the components.

Temperature setting

You can choose between 22 fixed settings to vape your herbs. Instead of a temperature setting, you set the Sidekick to a heating setting from level 1 to 11, increasing in steps of 0,5. These levels correspond to a temperature range associated with them, which you found below:

The temperature range is wide enough to get all types of effects: big clouds or light-flavored vapor. They recommend vaping between 5.5 – 8 for herbs and oils and concentrates between 7 – 9.

Cooling system

It has a built-in cooling system and a corkscrew-shaped piece of metal in the air path. Upon taking a draw, the air passes through it, causing the vapor to cool off. The vapor comes out more relaxed and flavourful in combination with the glass mouthpiece.
