I concur.
I could work out the length of time between each purchase and technically work out which devices were in my hands the longest and come up with some names but the reality is what I am using now - is what I am using all the time now - I have like a list of 13 or 16-17 including glass items that are my favorites purchases of the year - but nothing has stood strong as most reached for for longer than 3 months before being knocked off for something else (and the main things I use now I haven't had for more than 3 months).
My most used vape of 2023 has been my Qoroma Staroma desktop BV - It's an absolute beast. My portable go to devices are still Dynavap and the mighty. Ideal for being out and about.Time for the annual MRF awards.
My fellow VASers what were the top vape(s) in your hand the most in 2023? Maybe you tried several but there was always that one you kept coming back to. I'd love to hear from all users, the members that have a couple of vapes but also am most intrigued by those of you that have many choices. What was your Most Reached For? Why?
This is the first year for me that I didn't purchase 5 or more vapes. Maybe I'm starting to move out the phase where I think I need to try everything and am instead in a state where I use what I like the most. To be fair I was sent a few vapes this year to try for a period of time before it moved onto the next tester. I didn't purchase new vapes during those times so I could focus on the one I was testing. They call it "testing", I'll say enjoying.
I'm surprised by my portable pick. Not because it isn't a great vape, it damn sure is, but because I am definitely a variety guy. I like to switch things up typically. Don't eat the same things twice, change my clothing style frequently, listen to different genres of music. I use different vape devices throughout the day because I crave variety. I'm not a sit in one lane kind of guy. Yet...
The portable winner for this year was the same vape as last year's winner. Thermal Accumulator from @phattpiggie!!!
This vape holds a nice load, is easy to clean, is easy for me to use, and provides a tasty dense hit. I use it with the Wand from Ispire rather than a torch a majority of the time.
For the desktop vape category I have the dilemma in that my winner is still under NDA. I can't supply a picture of it, a description, or the name. The maker for this fantastic device is PhattPiggie. This guys vapes just seem to get me.
What I can say is I had a desktop vape sent to me. I enjoyed the hell out of it. While I had this I had no desire to use any other vape, this includes my portable winner. I went through a good amount of flower while I had it. It is one of those vapes you hit too much because you are really enjoying the use and the flavor. A lot of times I caught myself loading it again after I was already good-n-high. I think I got the maker a little annoyed, I hung onto this device about a month longer than I was supposed to before sending to the next tester. If the maker would have let me buy it and not send it along it would have been happy dance time for me. Cannot wait for this to reach the market and have one of my own.
this aint reddit
Love those j-hooks, I got the same one with a green mushroom in it. The guy that puts them together is sending me another one soon with a carb hole!! Great looking setups!!!
Well let's let's open pandoras box . To start on normal days I fire up my DIY 2 pid box it is setup to hold 1 coil in place any coil any size in this case its a 25mm with a tidow pro. The other pid runs my (to be released screwball) ...
For over night trips the (soon to be released screwball starter kit ) for carrying around work my stunner .. that being said the reason my BFG. Dani and fusion are no longer in rotation is I gift them to friends ....the same way I got my first DynaVap.
Ow ps I have been using selected 18mm male to 14mm female as glass microdose diffuser style bowls .
OK there it is let's hear the hate!!!!!
I saw he working on 1 .. he does good work and good price as well.. I might pick 1 . I had a run of bad luck and have to replace a handful of glass
I'm currently using a random gifted 4-piece but I recenly placed an order for a 3-piece OMD which should last me unitl I die.
Meanwhile I'm using the caveman method of tilting the grinder and scraping it out into the oven.
I feel my weed-pinching is approaching the sublime, the one area of my life that's becoming more competent, even neater.
Fwiw, the Good Vibes Boro 18mm Killer, the Lamart Piro, and the elusive Dreamwood DLX One will all work on an 18mm joint with a basket. All are amazing vapes and exceptional values. Minidosers with desktop power.
