I received my Haze a few weeks ago and from day one it moved itself up to being my daily go to vaporizer.
First impression
The box looks pretty cool and definitely shows that Haze has put some effort into making it stand out. The unit is gorgeous, honestly I didn't expect it to look this nice. Usually when people make an "all-purpose" product it's not so all purpose and lacks greatly somewhere. The Haze felt really good in my hand and had a good weight to it. I liked how the stem tucked away down into the device to make it more discreet unlike my Arizer Air.
Performance
The Haze was a champ right off the bat. Although I have only tested it with dry herbs, even on the first temp setting it still packs a nice punch. It took roughly 60 seconds to warm up plus or minus some, but that varied on how much juice the battery had. Even at cold temperatures, below freezing, the device didn't struggle to maintain its temperature unlike other devices I have owned. Temperatures 1 - 4 are all pretty accurate and don't seems to fluctuate that much during a session, meaning that the temperature doesn’t spike. I also have a water attachment and this thing blew my mind through my bubbler, literally blew my mind lol. It milked that thing like no other!
Draw resistance wasn’t an issue either unless you just stuff the chamber too tight. Other then that the only vapes I have use that have a better draw would be the Arizer Air(sometimes) and the SSV that I previously owned. This was a big thing for me because just a few weeks ago my only portable device was a Pax 2 and the Haze wipes the floor with the Pax 2 in that category.
You can tell the difference in using the different screens too, which I didn’t expect at all. Using the convection screen the herbs are a nice brown color no matter the temp setting. The conduction screen seemed similar to the Pax 2 when it came to taste, but provides more of a punch (assuming because of the direct contact). I didn’t really like using the cans, but this is possibly due to me having the tab facing the wrong way, still not a show stopper the other screen are way more then enough for me anyways.
Like most vapes the first few draws give the best taste though the taste didn’t decline extremely and the vapor quality is has been comparable to my old SSV during some sessions.
Ease of use
The dual chambers came in handy for someone like me that vapes all day. I didn't feel like I had to constantly keep reloading. The selector lever seems a little weird at first but after a few times I got the hang of it. Although I did catch myself having to make sure I was warming up the correct chamber. The stem is like a hit and miss on how easy it is to pull out sometime, but this could be due to temperatures and resin because it doesn't happen after a fresh cleaning. The button to select the temp level is pretty straight forward 4 lights and 4 clicks each click turns the temp up to the next level after 4 it will return to 1. Cleaning is pretty easy too I haven’t had a situation where some iso and a q-tip won’t do the job, and I have put some hrs on this thing.
Battery life
The haze came with two 18650 2600mah batteries that are way more then enough to get you through the day or whatever else you throw at it. I also like fact that it has a use output on the battery charger so it doubles as a power bank.
Build quality
Build quality is pretty good, better then I thought prior to receiving it I might add. It Has a nice solid feel to it and is about the size of a flask. I like the soft touch feel on the battery side of the unit, but being right handed I usually held the device on the opposite side which does warm but not too hot. The rest of the device well the middle area "feels" like it is made up of some type of metal I'm not sure if that's true because the hinges on he inside look like plastic. The top and bottom are also made of the same material with a smooth finish.
Only issue I have had with the build is that my selector switch seems to hit the top of the stem sometimes, not a big deal though just something I noticed.
Overall
The Haze Dual v3 is in a league of its own when it comes to vaporizers. The dual chambers are UNDER rated. If you are looking for a vape for less then $300 that is back by a warranty and gives stellar performance every time the Haze is it. Their are cheaper vaporizers out there but I believe the Haze not only stands it's ground against the best, but adds room for more with its versatility.
At the end of the day when it comes to all my vaporizers, Haze V3, Arizer Air and the Pax 2, if I had to choice just one it would be the Haze. All of the others are good vapes but the Haze has everything that I need in one and does a great job of doing it.
Pros
* Dual chambers
* 2 2600mah removable batteries
* Charger that doubles as a power bank
* Glass and stainless stems
* Multiple uses (herb, oil, wax, e-liquid)
Cons
* Stem is tricky to pull out sometimes (referring to the glass stem)
* No battery indicator
* Selector switch funky sometimes
* Although it is stealthy the fact that it resembles a flask doesn't help is certain situations.
What I would like to see
* Bubbler stem
* Battery indicator
* Pusher accessory (similar to the new vape pax pushesr)
