I own an iTorch!

Seems to be a rare occurence around here. I bought it from a shop about a year ago for $147 (still have the receipt). And it worked rather well for that long (decent hits, burned a little, and I've heard it has a more mettalic taste, but it's the only vape I've known really, so I can't compare tastes). Recently it suddenly up and died on me! Not sure if it's a battery problem or what, but it looks like the plug insert is pushed too far deep into the unit that the receiver's not connecting.
I was hoping someone on this forum might know of a place to send it for repair, but no one seems to even own one of these! And the company doesn't seem to exist. Guess I just have to take the hit (so to speak) and continue on my search for the perfect portable vaporizer? Unless someone can recommend a good vape repair guy? Or girl...

Also, since I need a new one now, can anyone recommend a decent portable vaporizer that truly vaporizes dry herbs and fits in your pocket? Pax is too expensive (250? Does everyone besides me have this kind of disposable income?)
And VaporCone Elite/Discreet don't count (not true vape...and really inconvenient)

Thanks.

i like how you can change the batteries.. i don't get why all battery portables aren't like that... well i do, but i don't

Hi and welcome to Fc. Sorry to hear the situation that brought you here,
but were all glad you found us. I can say there is so much info here that you would have no problem finding what vaporizer will suit your needs and budget.

1. If funding is tight:
I would have to say the Magic flight Launch box is a great choice. Lifetime warranty, solid construction bit of a learning curve but nothing terrible to master.

2. If you have a slightly higher budget:
I recommend the Da Vinci. This is my personal favorite. Very flexible. Very easy to use, almost zero learning curve. Just a awesome vape all around. I don't think it would disappoint you

3. There are also many new portables hitting the market soon (ascent, pinnacle, and many others) depending on what your budget or needs are one of those could possible be better.
I believe most of the un-released vaporizer threads can be found in the Thread candidates http://fuckcombustion.com/forums/thread-candidates.41/
There are many butane powered vapes that may work for you, I didn't reference because I have little experience with them.
