Need some advice from you fine folks.
Daily user, 1-2 sessions at most and typically not using much at all. I'm looking for a portable, not for any pressing need for discretion or smell or anything, just for convenience. Ideally I'd like to be able to load something up and turn it on for a puff or two, turn it off and do the same thing later on while doing housework or wandering around or whatever.
I've used an no2 but don't like that I can't preload it and use whenever on and off. Other thing I don't enjoy as much is grinding onto a paper to then slide into the chamber, bullet type systems seem pretty intriguing to me. I have no access to anything but flower as well so limited in that.
I've been lurking and looking at the pinnacle, pax, inhalator and ascent. The pax looks cool and has the best warrantee, but I keep seeing it referred to as a bit of a hog. Not too sure on the ihxp. The pinnacle looks pretty nice, especially w the bullets to just toss in and go. The ascent looks really fantastic but just seems like it may be a pain to load while holding it open, but who really has any good info on it yet. And the waiting sucks too.
Please tell me what I'm missing and hopefully someone with all of these could weigh in with an opinion on it!

The pinnacle, pax, inhalator and ascent will all cook your load when not in use, so they are not the best "hit and quit" typ portables. I would recommend that you look into the Magic Flight Launch Box or FlashVape.

IMO, The Magic Flight is the best hit and run vaporizer. Theres a learning curve, but its not too difficult.

I'm a bit of a dumbass and will end up losing the batteries or straw carrying it around in my pocket. But if that's going to be the only real good choice I may give it a whirl. The flashvape may work out better.

MFLB is a learning curve for you and friends.But great for stealth.

I say either a Solo or the Flashvape,(of which i have not used yet).
But from the reviews sounds great again, if your a light user and its your only vape.(its on batteries you have to check the thread for running times between charges)

Pinnacle looks real nice too, for a light user I would say.(also liking this too) also runs on batteries check thread for run times between charges
And the Water tool I think is a must.

With the Solo you could always pull the stem if your finished.Add a domed screen to decrease stem(bowl)size.And its portable.
I can get a full days use(about 6-8 times a day on a full charge)
And if you dont want to bring glass outside then you could always get Edstnt wood stem.
And you can add a power supply if needed.

Might want to read up on the vapman. It uses small amounts. You can hit it once/twice then be on your way. It is flame powered but I don't consider that a drawback.

Why not the arizer solo?

glass pathway
very good quality vapor
long last battery (imho the best battery)
not too much big
imho best flavour (between portable of course)
almost indistructible
many many accessories (wood steam, hi performance steam, stealth kit, gond adapters ect)
awesome price\quality

These are all features that I extrapolated after reading a lot on this product!
I'm waiting mine from amazon, it should arrive tomorrow!

sounds like a mflb to me. it's the best at little hits here and there on the same load. My Pinnalce did a good job of not cooking throug the bullet when i turned it off after three hits a couple of weeks ago, so you could look into that as well, but if you can handle the mflb's technique and don't need super thick hits, then that one sounds like the winner...plus it's cheap, so you're not out much if you don't like it.

I've been using the MFLB as my daily driver since last July with no complaints. The learning curve isn't to bad,and the skills you'll learn will transfer to other vapes down the line.
If stealth is not an absolute priority you cannot go wrong with the Solo. I have yet to try the FlashVape,but I've gotten enough info
(from FC!) to order one.
One suggestion,please PLEASE don't buy cheap knock-offs! If you're in doubt,just come here and ask. There are no dumb questions,just dumb....wow, couldn't finish that sentence with a straight face! All kidding aside,we love to help when we can. Ask an intelligent question and you'll get an intelligent answer,I promise.
Lastly, welcome to the Forums,I think you'll like it here.

+1 for the Solo.

Like mentioned above, you can just pull the stem out after a few hits, and just slide it back in l8r and start ripping it again.

Solo is pretty cheap nowadays too and that is a great benefit for people who are on a tight budget like me!

You can get the Solo for 160$ from Puffitup,a killer price for such a good Vape. Randy is a great guy to deal with. Send him an email and tell him you're from the FC forums and he will hook you up with a screaming deal as well as some cool schwag. He is active on the forums here and hundreds of happy FC customers can't be wrong.
