What Are YOUR Best/Worst Vape Purchases?

My best/worst were purchased because I wanted something that connected directly to a bubbler without a whip.
Worst was a heat gun vape with GonG bowl (pretty much this), but the magickwand was nearly as bad.
Best (by far) is the e-nano.

What sucked about the heat gun? I've been watching youtube vids lately of vriptech bowl setups with heat guns and they look awesome! Haven't seen much love for heat guns on the forum, but haven't really looked either.
BEST: VripTech Heat Wand
WORST: Inhalater
Honorable Mentions: Herbalizer, Mighty/Crafty

The bowl design was crappy - used a glass screen that didn't stay put. Also had to use a ton of material to get reasonable results so the whole efficiency benefit of vaping went out the window. And then it was loud on top of that. I'm sure other heat gun setups could be more functional than this one (esp with the vrip bowl which looks much better), but this one didn't work well for me and I had really high hopes for it and it came nowhere close.

Best : all things considered price, ease of use etc I'd have to say the lotus, I turn to this little beauty each and every time I vape hit it dry thru a water pipe and it's just fantastic delivering clouds and flavour in abundance, yes you can toast the herbs to the point of combustion but with the right technique it's a breeze to use. Major negative is it isn't discreet to use out and about (hence I'm after a grasshopper 
)
Worst : pinnacle pro fucking awful product compared to everything I've come to use/own or try. Taste is the biggest issue I have and with this thing it tastes just nasty, the bullets are a good idea but the flavour isn't there at all. Battery charge was another issue I had just drops battery bars for no reason.
Not used a huge number of vape's in the past and my las test purchase was the EQ for home use, it's ok, flavour is good but I don't get the clouds I desire form it in any level. Tried or owned:
Volcano - pricey and it's a good unit but the bags are noisy as the neighbours.
Storm vape pen - good battery life but not great taste.
EQ - like it but don't love it.
In the market for another vape purchase in the future, with taste in mind what's your advice? Seen many a positive review on the e nano and I'm considering a minivap for home, cordless vaping but im open to opinions fancy the vapolution 3.0 as taste is key

I can confirm to you that the lotus is slightly better than the nano in terms of flavor [I'm sure there is other e-nano and lotus owners that would confirm that too (FlyingLow)].
That aside, the E-nano is fan-fucking-tastic too, still cant decide which is the overall best vape I own...

Found that with a little research does look like a great vape tho, for flavour I'm still looking at the minivap or the vapolution 3.0 but I do prefer the more wire free minivap overall just bloody expensive but hey you get what you pay for I suppose, plus I'm in the UK so shipping if repairs are needed is that much cheaper
Yeah the mp screen does clog way too easily. I replaced it with a mesh screen
It just doesn't extract well enough, ime. I nuch prefer the imag plus for an inexpensive battery powered portable

I have only good vapes, and I thank FC and members for helping with the selections! This includes the Inhalater (05s) (which someone pegged as 'worst, and for good reason), and MiniVAP, and HI. Prior to FC I picked up a Vapir NO2 purely on the recommendation of the dreadlocked kid behind the counter, after my doc said 'get a vaporizer'. (35 years since my last joint. WTF's a vaporizer?). I also have an Arizer Extreme-Q, which I also enjoyed. It has bags like the Volcano, or you can use a whip. It does use a lot of herb - the ABV jar fills quickly, but it's still fun.
Worst - any cheapie pen that says it does concentrates and flowers. At least anything you find in a headshop and is cheap. It's going to combust, then it'll plug, and then you'll figure out why they suck. If anyone knows of any that don't I'm all ears, but I tried 3 or 4, and a friend tried one before he went the Solo route.
Having said that everyone in FC likely already knows that... But if you don't save your money for something that gets good reviews from someone besides the dreadlocked kid trying to sell it to you...

Hi Killick, What is the Ape Vape in your signature...you didn't spoke about it...?

Ahh, forgot about that. There Vape Ape, and the Cloupor Pen, are both cheapie concentrate pens. VA is hard to get replacement parts in Canada, which kinda sucks. The Cloupor was a great pen for $35. But only for concentrates.
I do have a 710whip, as well, but need a couple of glass pieces before it gets an inaugural voyage

I have finally thought this thru and have come to the conclusion that Da Buddha is the best vaporizer purchase Ive made. I do use it differently than most do (no whip, I use e-nano 14mm gong into j-hook), and it is as efficient and potent as the nano, and as much flavour as the lotus. I own all good vapes, there are no bad, but Da Buddha is just one of those purchases that keeps reminding me of how significant it is every time I put it back into rotation. E-nano and Lotus are benched for a bit...

Best : Selling my Volcano & replacing it with the Arizer EQ , it has saved me so much money not only in material but turned out to be a great vape for me as it does bags like the volcano and i can use a whip & attach to any of my glass pieces. Also really liking my other vapes but the arizer air portable i feel was a great purchase also.
Worst : A vape called the Tripper Flask , was terrible but company refunded me. Also dealing with gotvape has been my worst experience i have ever had in my life , was sent a defective alfa and than they told me off when i wanted a replacment , gave me the run around several times but the actual company goboof stood behind the product and took care of me instead so it all worked out.

Yeah that was me. It wasn't the 05s actually but rather v.4 I think? I can't remember it was a few years back but the thing basically just "fell apart", nearly everything that could go wrong with it did, and then constant ongoing issues with the company. I'd much rather have a crafty, alfa, or even Air for portability.

Best: e-Nano. So far, I've had it like 2.5 weeks.
Worst: Vapocane. I thought my (gifted) lighter would be fine with it, melted it immediately. The Vapo-bowl is second behind that, though it has served me well enough (with burns, and a lot of hassle) when my Solo was out of commission... whether that was from battery problems, charger problems, broken gongs, etc.

I have a bad case of VAS and have too many vapes for a single user. I need to sell some but I'm too lazy to pack them up. Given that my worst vapes are the hammer and imag plus.
Best are arizer air/solo, ud/e-nano, and the Haze.

Hurts when I press it. That doesn't happen with my butane powered vapes.

Was the Imag Plus too hot and harsh? It's on sale at PIU.

Exactly. I got mine from Indiegogo or Kickstarter- can't remember which. Mine is going to Ed when I get over my laziness and get to the post office.
