I've always preferred using vaporizers natively, but with how much I've enjoyed my Prophet, I thought I'd give the Protege and Influx a try. They came in this Monday and I've spend some good time with them, which is a compliment in itself since I rarely ever smoke during the week.
The Influx is an absolute blast; with the way the curved tubes looks, its relatively small size and weight, and how fun it is to use with the gurgling and twirling, it almost feels like a toy. The Prophet is the complete opposite; it's insanely heavy (especially when filled with water), the sound is quiet and comparatively subtle, and the perc/dimples and fritted disk combined with the shape make it a beautiful statement piece. Even my girlfriend, who couldn't care less about anything weed related, commented multiple times on how good looking it was.
The flavor in the Influx is great, different than the Prophet but not subdued like the Protege. That's not to say the Protege doesn't have good flavor, but it's clear its priority went to cooling. I was worried they would perform too similar to each-other and I'd end up regretting the Influx, but they make wonderful compliments to both each-other and the Prophet. All in all, I think I can officially consider myself part of the iDB fan club. Good job again iDB, and keep up the good work!
