IMHO&E I’ll go straight to the VROD... you’ll have the best of both worlds in a single cheaper kit.
Don’t waste your time with another controller/s if this is your first enail system.
Straight out of the box I was dabbing, vaping and twaxing with no wait or problems. No adapters or bs to deal with.
Get at least 2 double weave Ti screens, or like me, I got both 18 & 14 males and 2 bowls, I ran 14 for oils, and 18 for flowers. 2 rigs at the same time.
If you can, order extra quartz dishes, I’ll order 2 if I were international, and 2 of their cheap SiC dishes too. They are really easy to clean and taste is awesome.
IMO flower is vaped the same through a SH and a VRod, it’s Ti being heated the same way, through same coils and Ti from same machining factory.
But where the VRod shines above the SH is on dabbing. No comparison between dabbing off Ti than quartz or even better SiC.
But you’ll say, but I never do oils, well, some day you’ll have a chance to press your own rosin, and let me tell you, you’ll regret not having the VRod.
IMO people saying the SH is better for flowers than the VRod, it’s like saying ABS brakes and paddle shifters and newer transmissions are worst for WRC cars, and cars should be still running in carburetors instead of injectors, any improvement in performance, is going to be questioned and secretly looked close by early adopters that now are too used to their first released SH or too stubborn to accept it that the new tech is better than the old, or short on cash and can’t afford the new release, like many people envying the neighbors new 2019 beemer while they have a 2018 beemer, just first world problems and normal human envy jajajaja I’ll be the same if I bought a SH.
This is IMHO&E and like people always say in this forum, “opinions are like a..h..s, everyone has their own” and like them their way jajajaja
Best...
Stay vaped....
