Healthy Rips are the brand you point a mate at when they want real vapour without spending Storz & Bickel money. They’re a smaller outfit, they keep the range tight, and the whole pitch is hybrid heating in a pocket vape that costs a lot less than the big names. People in Australia found them through word of mouth, mostly. Someone tries a Fury 2, can’t believe the price, and tells everyone they know.
The trick is the heating. Each one mixes conduction and convection, so the bowl warms the herb and hot air does the rest. You get the easy draw and flavour of a pricier vape without the pricier vape. Here’s the range, the honest version.
Fury 2
The Fury 2 is the little workhorse and the one most people start with. It’s a compact, conduction-leaning hybrid portable, small enough to palm and light enough to forget you’re carrying it. Heat-up is quick, around 20 seconds, and the glass mouthpiece keeps the vapour cool and tasty.
It runs on four preset temperatures rather than a dial, which keeps things dead simple but means you can’t fine-tune. The battery’s built in, so when it’s flat you’re charging over USB-C, not swapping a cell. For flavour sit it on the lower presets around 180-190°C; for thicker clouds push it to the top preset near 210°C.
The quirk worth knowing: pack the bowl properly. A loose load gives you a thin, disappointing draw, and a good medium-fine grind packed snug is the difference between “meh” and “oh, that’s nice”.
Fury Edge
The Fury Edge is the Fury 2 grown up. Same hybrid heating, but in a tougher zinc-alloy shell with a knurled finish that actually feels good in the hand. The two big upgrades are a removable 18350 battery and full degree-by-degree temperature control, so you set exactly the temp you want and carry a spare cell for all-day use.
That control matters more than it sounds. Dial it to 185°C and you’ll chase flavour through a whole bowl; nudge it to 200-215°C when you want it dense. Heat-up is similar to the Fury 2, fast enough that you’re not standing around.
Trade-offs? Those 18350 cells are smaller than a standard 18650, so a single charge doesn’t last forever, which is exactly why the spare-battery trick exists. And it’s a touch pricier than the Fury 2. Still a bargain, just not the cheapest in the line.
Rogue
The Rogue is the convection-heavy one, and it’s the flavour chaser’s pick. More of the work happens through hot air here, which gives you cleaner, more even draws and a taste that a lot of people reckon edges out the Furys. It’s still a portable, still pocketable, with a precise temperature dial and a removable 18650 battery.
The bigger 18650 is the headline. It lasts noticeably longer than the Edge’s 18350, so the Rogue suits heavier sessions and people who hate charging. Set it around 190°C for everyday flavour and up toward 215°C when you want volume.
The catch with convection: it’s a bit fussier about your grind and how you pack it, and the airpath rewards a slow, steady draw rather than a hard yank. Treat it gently and it’s the best-tasting vape Healthy Rips make.
Living with one
The reason these last is that the consumable bits are cheap and easy. Screens swap out for a few dollars, the glass mouthpieces clean up with a soak in iso, and the removable batteries on the Edge and Rogue mean a tired cell is a replacement, not a dead vaporiser. Give the bowl and screen a regular clean and the draw stays honest. Let the gunk build and you’ll wonder why it’s gone weak.

If you’re comparing brands, it’s worth seeing how they stack up against DaVinci, XMax (XVape) and Boundless, who all play in a similar pocket-vape space.
Which one suits you
Quick version. Want the cheapest way into real hybrid vapour: Fury 2. Want precise temps and a swappable battery without paying much more: Fury Edge. Chasing the best flavour and the longest battery life: Rogue. None of them will empty your wallet, and any of the three will embarrass a lot of vapes that cost twice as much.
