Have you tried the ALP on demand at full temp 464
Remove small gold screen, disc on door half way out and a mighty screen on the weed
Decent strength draws and clouds happen with nice hits
Do they seem to hit as hard as each other for you or do you find one hits more than the other?
Cheers for your opinion owning both
Hi. Hijacking a moment as I am currently comparing ALP and TM2 (and Tafee Bowle). I've had my ALP a couple weeks (and my TM2 a few days), so any statements here could change as I gain experience with them.
My first impressions are that the ALP performs as well or better any way I try it. Full temp fast extraction and low temp terp sipping sessions, ground flower or finger-torn nugs. Actually, to this point, the ALP usually beats my TM2 on these head to head tests. But, again, that may be due to having relatively more experience with it.
The one place the TM2 wins is airflow. It is noticably easier to pull on. I have taken out the inside screen on the ALP per this thread, and that helped a lot. But the TM2 just has a less restrictive airflow.
So far, flavor has consistently been better on my ALP. I have had a couple magical hits (super terpy tasty) on the TM2, but they have been a little random and hard to find consistently... Need more practice, lol.
The surprise for me is a feature I never really looked for in a vape--wireless charging. My phone's charging port recently stopped working, so I bought the cheapest wireless charger on Amazon (about $7). Since I have it handy, I set down my ALP on it whenever I'm not using it, so it is constantly topped off. Gotta admit, this has been super convenient and a real unforeseen benefit. (Battery gurus... Please do advise if this is really harmful... If it's not super bad for the battery or device, I'll stay with the convenience).
Anyway, that's my short term experience with both. I'll have to make myself a chart with the relative pros and cons of each in order to decide. Preliminary ones are these:
ALP: consistently good flavor, cooler vapor with stock set up, seemingly better battery life, wireless charging, very good CS--have an OG legacy MP coming my way in response to my email request (great service!), loyalty program, digital display
TM2: more open air flow, faster heat up time, more accessories available (thinking the ALP WPA looks pretty restrictive... Compared to an 18mm WPA on a TM2).
At this point, I can't imagine giving up the ALP for it. But again, I've only had the TM2 a few days, and airflow is a big factor for me. I HATE feeling like I'm sucking hard through a straw...ruins my chill. The feeling of an almost natural breath is what I'm after. TM2 is a little closer. Sadly, their standard of comparison is my vapbong. And that's a totally unfair comparison!
Cheers, y'all. I sure enjoy following the conversations and learning!
