Currently available electric Portable Vaporizers for flower (some can do concentrates to some degree as well)
Tubo Evic
Portable, not pocketable.
PRO's:
- Been around for a bit and used by many FC members so proved it's worth
- Cruise Control - unit has an e-cig mod as it's brain so Temperature Control is used to maintain the heating temp as best as can be done.
- 18mm bowl
- All glass air path (unless you use the whip)
- Not used it myself but users report excellent power, flavour and control
- Good battery life (be aware there is the single 18650 version and a newer 2x 18650 version)
- Easy to clean
- Quick warm up time
- Good customer service
CON's:
- To big to fit in pocket
- Design doesn't suit everyone's preference
- Might be a wait list but not sure
OTHER
- Made by a member of FC forums not a large company
Ghost MV-1
Portable, maybe pocketable, new on market, unique cooling feature
PRO's:
- Users report excellent flavour, power and very well cooled vapour
- Unique glass vapor path cools vapor improving flavor
- Decent battery life
- Easy to clean
- Replaceable batteries but proprietary not off the shelf
- ELB style loading mechanism
- Quick warm up time
CON's:
- New to market so still getting user experiences
- Silicone in the vapor path (or adjacent to it depending on who you talk to)
- Requires an initial burn off to avoid off gassing from silicone
- Batteries are proprietary
- Control interface seems lame (one button, LED lights, should IMO be OLED)
- ELB loading mechanism could do with a little refinement
- Design doesn't suit everyone's preference
OTHER:
- Backed by Vape Critic
- New startup company
Notable Mentions:
HealthyRips Fury (convection)
SOLO 2 is out (more session)
Milaana is similar to Tubo Evic but requires the user to control the experience through draw speed and feathering the power button. (session or one large rip)
GrassHopper is amazing for stealth and ease of use but has reliability issues. (can do session but excels at one large rip)
Da Vinci IQ is a good upgrade from the PAX if you like conduction style vapes. (session only)
Currently available butane Portable Vaporizers for flower (some can do concentrates to some degree as well)

Obviously there are other vapes out there (
PAX 3,
Boundless, etc..) and others will have opinions on PRO's vs CON's but the above is a quick list of vapes that seem to suit your requirements.
The electric models will probably be more subtle to use than the butane models but don't discount the butane models, they are very popular.
Notable mention of the
FlowerPot E-Nail style vape that does flower hit's. Loads of positive reviews on that heavy hitter. Not portable or bedroom friendly though.
