Which to get

I have the firefly, I live the VP but my main use is outside. On the bycycle, its clumsy. To really get the full I need to stop. Also the stirring part I dont like. Finances are an issue. I bought it very gently used for only 110$. Now they are repairing it. The battery was only giving one session so I can sell it for say 140 min. Which is the price if the ascent in eBay. Is there any reason to not make the switch. Main important for me is VP and stealth. I like to medicate as well on busses

You wouldn't be able to use an Ascent on a bus. It would be too stinky. It's the smelliest of all my vaporizers. You are talking about vaporizing while riding on a bike? The Ascent doesn't look stealth either, it kinda looks like a electric razor. Don't get me wrong, I love the Ascent I have. Not sure it would be the perfect riding companion.

The Air is a vaporizer that's stealth and has good flavor. If you wanted to use it while riding a bike I would suggest using a wooden stem, the stock stems are glass. @Ed's TnT makes wooden mouthpieces for many of the vaporizers you see on FC, he is an FCer himself.

If you wanted to use a vaporizer on a bus I would use and ecig pen style vaporizer for waxes, oil or shatter. You wouldn't have worry about smell with people 1 foot away from you.

In many areas of the U.S folks can't use ecig vaporizer on buses. Folks are lucky if they can smoke at the parks in the Seattle area. I'm even hearing ecig restrictions. It's crazy how much control is happening with folks lives and their rights.

EDIT
I would suggest buying from an FC vendors that sponsor this website. You know you will be treated right, because if you're not we will talk about it here.

Buyer beware on eBay - if the deal looks too good to be true, it probably is.

I believe eBay is a hub for selling cheap knockoffs of popular products. The knockoffs (stolen designs we could say) will not, of course, be supported by the brand-name manufacturer and often they do not function as well. Also, if the manufacturer has just done a major upgrade, such as with Haze who just came out with a new version, you may not get the latest version of the device.

Obviously, buy whatever works for you and your budget, but be warned. I bought a name brand tent off eBay and am satisfied, but have reason to believe these were quality control rejects stolen out of the trash in China and then sold on-line. Stitching is off and the tent fly does not fit as well as the "real" version.

Thanks I will check the vendors here. The bus is at night and the lights are off. Only for the first part like 20 minutes there is only three other people. Its a long commute home. I like the stealth of the ascent and the design. So far they are repairing the ff. I have problems also getting the effect I want consistently. Of course it could be other factors. Maybe other factors is wild card why we look for a new vapo.
