I'm afraid I,m new to this so can only talk about my experience with the storm. I've had it 3 months now. Use it daily. As I start to get my head round vaping I can see that more expensive kit might give a better vaping experience but I,be not once regretted buying this.
Thanks for your reply.IME, from a hashmaker's perspective, hard hash cannot necessarily be assumed to require breaking up. I have 5 and 6 star hashes that feel like shatter and are rock hard, like quartz almost. They melt like water with a little bit of heat - AND MUST ABSOLUTELY NOT BE HEATED PRIOR TO USE! Heating hash to crumble it up will degrade the flavor of the hash. When one uses hash of the quality that I always use, this is a terrible waste!
There are two ways to vaporize good hash. One is the crumble and grind it up to expose more surface area to convective heat in the bowl. The other is to tightly pack as much as you can in a bowl and stuff the rest of it with SS wool (which conduct and keeps the heat immediately wrapping the hash for better conduction and heat build-up inside the load). I prefer the latter which is why I was AFAIK the first at FC to be using SS concentrate pads in the vapcaps/omnivap.
One thing to appreciate is that cruder, lower quality hash that may be hard and does not melt when vaped will require much larger loads to get the good clouds. The stuff that melts enough to dab, use a small amount like a dab
I don't mix bud and hash in a vape because the bud will be spent long, long before the hash will. The taste of overspent bud really spoils the flavor of vaped hash, which can very easily far surpass flower vaping IME.
BTW, I am a hash user who has a vapcap M and an omnivap. I prefer the omnivap a little bit for its heat properties, but the vapcap M is so cheap I can't not recommend it.
The thick vapor is indeed to be relished! That is very much the beauty of hash vaping. Hash creates clouds that you'll never get from any flower, and can be even cloudier than dabbing oil!
You need to use water if you are having huge thick rips from hash like this regularly, as you'll notice these hits are big enough to choke you out when you hit it dry! It'll leave you very parched!
I would not vape large plumes of hash near kids in covered areas, since IME somebody sitting near very large amounts of concentrate vapor for a while can get a little giggly and vaked. Developing brains should not be exposed to cannabis except for in the event of medical necessity where the balance of outcomes has been carefully considered by a medical professional (if at all possible). You're a good Dad for being conscious of preventing this man! Kudos to you!
Many of my adult friends who do not partake do not mind being indoors when I medicate, some actually really enjoy the gentle psychoactivity that sitting near somebody vaping hash can provideIf your wife is not into cannabis at all, then best not to vape around her either for those big cloudy exhales!
Agreed, hash needs more heat for sure.

Love my Omni but I totally agree with the new user M recommendation.
Get a cheap dual flame torch and an M, then you'll see why DynaVap have such a following.
After that I'd recommend the Induction Heater as the very first upgrade from the M, even before the Omni.
Got to admit though that at £40 (710 sale price) I'm tempted by the DabStorm 2.1, mostly curious to see if I can use it to heat my VapCap
If only they sold the atomiser separately, I don't need the mod.
@FatFreddy if you ever get a VapCap can you try heating it with the DS? For science yo!
Haha, believe me, that was uncharacteristically thoughtful of them. Most of the time they are a pain in the a***.....like your style man...
...wish my sons gave me a vaporizer...only thing I get from them is.......(off topic..lol)
I have to say that I feel like a kid again, experimenting with the arcane. Loving it
It is a pleasure to assist sir, I hope you have a wonderful time with your new vape!
Glad also to have helped my friend, you are very welcome.
Same here bud, the more I learn the deeper the rabbit hole goes. FC is an amazing resource though so you aren't learning alone
I think I made a wrong assumption and thought you were using the DabStorm but now I think you were referring to the Storm Vape pen. So my query (block of random gibberish) is irrelevant. Sorry confused myself
Gotta say the Storm vaporizer pen does look fairly decent for a conduction vape at £69.
It is recommended that you get the resin capsule if you want to use it with hash.
I do think you'll get a better experience from a VapCap but it is less stealthy.
I've only ever experienced sizzling trichomes in the event that water got into the hash in storage, or with water hash that has not been fully dried out after extraction. In either case, those are no bueno. Water in your hash makes the vapor much hotter and harsher on the throat. It can make you hack up a lung just about with the coughing!
This may be true, but the pros for the FF2 is ease of cleanability, better choices of less reactive materials (no plastic except in mouthpiece) and will clearly provide better flavor. The Storm is not a vape that I know a lot about, but being an improved imitation of old X-max vapes, I would very safely say that the FF2 is the higher quality option. Remember, the FF2 now has an external battery charger, so can be purchased with a few batteries which can be charged separately while you vape. I would never have recommended the FF2 prior to the availability of an external charger, since the battery life is limited and you can't use the vape while it is charging

The FF2 also comes with SS mesh, which IME combined with convection heat is the best way to vape non-full melt hash like mentioned above. By comparison, the storm uses a titanium bullet (like the old pinnacle pro concentrate bullets) which is obviously conductively heated. Conductive heating for non-full melt hash is not very effective unless you pack the bowl as full as possible, which in this case would be a hell of a lot of hash.
The FF2 can allow for more even heating of the hash which will give better flavor for a given load from start to finish.

Solvents in your hash are much worse still, and this is why sizzling is something that is always unacceptable in hash that you are buying. If it's some water contamination, then you'll simply have a harsher session. If it is solvent contamination, it'll be harsher still, probably taste like complete ass and depending on the solvent and quantities used, could be quite bad for your health. Sizzling should be avoided because if it sizzles, you can't 100% rule out solvent adulteration unless you made it yourself
The normal stages should be melting, bubbling, boilng, evaporating and more fragile like glass when stored in the fridge, which i recommend eg charras looses most of its flavour in 2 weeks if kept in the open...
the things with most battery powered vapes in the long run are: (my favourite, but sometimes hard to dose, if u dont keep track of the amount u put in - too much can result in loosing a few hours of memory 
, but dosed correct a really nice experience )
