I have always had an interest in halogen powered vapes but after trying this puppy, I can say it is only marginally better than the aromed. It is an awesome concept but the execution has been less than optimal. If the vhw is a 10, I would rate the ape at 6.5 and aromed a 6. Just one monkeys opinion with one test run of the ape so there is a possibility that it can be a 10 once u master the technique by then again, it may not.
