Hello,
Im having a hard time to decide which one to order, so I will check with experienced people and see if that sort things out!
So Im currently using a vapcap and want a portable electronic vaporizer.

My budget is +/- 100$ if someone doesnt convince me to pay the double to get a crafty/pax/firefly/davinci.


I have looked at the following vapes, so please help me pick one if you have experience of some/any of them!
I intend to smoke hash in it, and I use degummed hemp fiber. I would like to buy one that isnt too hard to clean and keep fresh/good quality. Also replaceable battery is a plus. (convection vs conduction for my use?)

Here is what Ive found, but keep in mind that I know very little about this so im open for different models within the same price range.
Linx gaia
Linx eden
Xvape aria
Boundless CFX
Airvape X
Storm
XMAS Starry 3.0
ETC.

So Im tired searching for the perfect vape now and will order tonight. Help me decide please! Many thanks in advance:leaf:
P.S. I live in Europe so I can only order from European websites! D.S.

I don't think any of those will let you vape hash successfully or even give you the same vapor quality as your Dynavap.
Even if I use the degummed hemp fiber? Can you think of any other than those I mentioned?
Thanks

I have an Xmax Ace that I use to vape rosin that I have wiped off my dabber onto hemp in(looks like cotton wool from Dynavap). It has a boost mode that hits 255C, it is about on par with my Boundless CFx but is smaller and a bit newer design, both are pretty good for the money and above mentioned job but are a long way from an enail for concentrates. :2c:

I think your $100 budget might be too low for the performance we'd hope for you to enjoy. Also fuck the Linx Gaia with its weak heater, short airpath, and cloggy mouthpiece. I've owned a bunch of vapes and that one was my least favorite to date.

In general those budget session portables might not have the punch you're looking for. I don't love any of the vapes in your pay-twice-as-much list either though. I also don't vape hash ever so I'm not sure what's needed.

For a budget of $110 to $140 maybe a Fury 2 or Fury Edge would be a decent choice.

Ok screw my budget, i can go outside of it. My vapcap is really quality so I could get a quality Electronic vape too. Im not planning to buy many of them so then I can pay some more. As long as it fits my needs. :D

Thanks for the tips :)
That vleaf go was really cool, will see what I can find about hash in that device.

Or you can go Vleaf go
Is the convection style of the VLeaf Go good with hash? My Tera with a 260C Concentrate mode is pretty useless at concentrates :2c:
If you want better quality portable on a budget and be able to vape hash a Boundless CFx or an Arizer ...Air 1or2, Solo1or2 or even a Crafty+, all are convection based and work OK with concentrates.

Do you know how xmas starry 3.0 is compared to those you mentioned?
I read that someone had Great results vaping hash in the starry.

The more I read on the subject, the more it seems that vapcap (or other butane torch vapes) is the best alternative for vaping hash. Disappointing!
Im starting to think if its better to upgrade my vapcap or just resist the urge to spend my money 😁

I have a vapcap and a mighty and I'm a big fan of hash. the vapcap works very well with hash once you get the technique down, but vaping hash in the mighty is (IMO) a much more pleasant experience - nice cool hits, great efficiency, tasty. ever since I figured out how to vape hash in the mighty, I've never once used the vapcap for hash again.

Are you using dosing capsules? I felt like hash made a big mess in my Mighty.

no dosing capsules. for bubble hash I put it under the liquid pad. for hard hash, I cut a thin slice, then chop that into little bits and put them under the liquid pad. IME if there's gummed-up gunk in the bowl after I vape, that means I didn't actually finish it. it's kind of amazing how efficient the mighty is with hash, so it took me a while to realize just how many hits I get from .04-.05g: ~15-16. that makes it pretty easy to not finish the bowl!

I'm sure that depends on the type of hash being used too; the OP is European, so I'm pretty sure we are talking about traditional hash here.

You load hash directly into the bowl and put the liquid pad on top of the hash? When I did that it gunked up the conduction ring and the screen above the heater. I always use the Mighty until vapor stops producing.

@darbarikanada

Yes Im from europe and I use brown semi sticky hash.
I get more and more into the XMax Starry 3.0 or maybe the XVape Ace. Both can go to 240c.

Mighty is too expensive but maybe crafty is better?
Edit: Now when I checked, both mighty and crafty go up to 210c?

I've used hard hash that's identical to the hash I smoked in the middle east - it works fine as long as I chop it into small pieces.

yes: directly into the bowl, liquid pad on top. maybe try 'cooking' the load at max temp for a couple minutes after you're done, see if that helps.

the XMax Starry 3.0 or maybe the XVape Ace.
Just remember these are session vapes so will have whispy clouds compared to the VapCap but they will go on for a long time compared to the VC.
Don't overlook a CFX (or smaller cheaper CF) as these come with a great concentrate conainer\pod that helps with conduction that works as well as the Xmax in my use, not sure on pricing though.
@darbarikanada, you said,

Is this inverted on a bong with a wpa or with the native CU?

The CFX only goes up to 220c, is that enough for vaping hash? Im up for paying more for great quality, I just need to know it can perform for my needs. I smoke 95% hash and can rarely get weed where I live.
