I think the Solo and Air would be better vapes than the Extreme, but I avoided them because I already tried their desktop and it didn't suit me. I knew that sticking with the same brand wouldn't work for me, that doesn't mean the Arizer brand doesn't have many real happy users. We all have...
I'll give you my current top three in order of what might suit you. For all the reasons you mention, I became an unhappy Arizer Extreme owner after using it on and off several years.
Get an Underdog log vape if you want a low dose, easy to use, inexpensive desktop. No cleaning of vape itself...
@Ed's TnT did some custom Haze work for me. He said this was his very first Haze V3 stem. African blackwood to match the wong. The top item is for my Underdog. It's on the way to me!
I still do that sometimes by accident. Just make sure the metal tip of the lid is pointing at you not the Haze and that the air hole is lined up with the side hole of the oven. This is an oil monster with great flavor.
I just bought a station but you have to get it right from Vapman. It's 250 PP and I am glad I got one because I like to plug a vape in and not worry about anything. I will of course try it as a butane vape too, but once the station arrives I'll probably use the butane mostly to clean oil residue...
Just found a Vapman very reasonable and emailed him about a heating station after reading about it here. Looking forward to my first butane vape, but I know the heating station will be a big help if I can't master it alone.
I guess my signature will tell you all you need to know but I like the format of this thread.
Vapes I still own 3-5 are DD
1. Arizer Extreme V Tower-I don't use it, was never big on it. I have an older model and I really hate silicone tubing for one.
2. V2 Pro 3 Don't use it anymore, has a big...
I bet it's the velcro. Try it naked and see if that helps. I don't trust putting that full sleeve on. I wish they made the one they used too that just covered the hot top area.
Really you will get the hang of it, so many variables as far as how long you used your herb, what temp, what quality and strain. It's never exactly the same which is why vaping is fun.
1. If you aren't get any more vapor or flavor you are done. The Storm won't combust in my experience so feel free to up it all the way to high if you want use it all up. Different temps give you different good things health and high wise.
2. Many people eat the AVB and make a butter with it...
