Happy and healthy new year to all of you. I haven't really been here in a while. I see that there are many more offerings now than two years ago. I've done my best to read the various threads, but the volume of information is a bit daunting. I currently use the Volcano, the Purple Days, and the MFLB (mostly the latter two). I am wondering if I should upgrade one or more of these. The Cloud and the ThermoVape particularly caught my attention. I'll provide some info about me and a few dislikes of the current devices.
I use these vapes as a patient. I want to have as healthy vapor as I can get. I want, at least, one very stealthy, easy, and dependable portable unit and one dependable home unit that provides the cleanest vapor, but without a lot of noise or needed attention to cleaning. I usually have the portable available when necessary. When home, I mostly use the PD (1-3 bowls in the evening).
I rarely use the Volcano. Although the Vapor seems very clean tasting, compared to the PD it's too much hassle (time, clean up, etc.) and makes too much noise. Perhaps I'm just not a fan of bags.
The PD was a godsend. It keep it on 24/7, so it couldn't be easier. Once you get to know it, the unit provides very reliable dosing for a patient. It's also reliable in that I've dropped it, and it keeps on ticking. On the other hand, I had to replace the electrical cord/transformer, and have had to tape the new cord in because the size isn't quite right. In addition, the unit is starting to show it's age -- seems that over time, some herbs fall, toast, smell, and stink up the vape. Perhaps I should have cleaned it more often, but that's water over the bridge. Also, the vapor after the first hit can taste . . . not so fresh.
Not much that I can say about the MLFB that others haven't already said. It's a great little unit. The small size is key. It's suffering from time, like the PD, and from a very ill-advised use of a lighter when no charged batteries were available.
Do any of you have suggestions for me? Feel free to tell me that I already have the best vapes for me or why particular others would be worth checking out. Thanks very much for the help.
