I don’t have enough to compare and people don’t talk about this enough for me to have formed a strong opinion on it, but while I generally prefer vaporizers with convection heating, I think conduction is generally easier on the throat, and hybrid heaters are likely to be somewhere in between, probably leaning more toward convection in most cases.
That’s not to say convention isn’t okay, and the occasional hit shouldn’t be a big deal, but if you want a full session at once I’d use conduction more often.
I haven’t kept up with convection vaporizers as much so I’m not sure which people like most these days, but DaVinci‘s offerings like the IQ are examples of that type of heating.
I think the Mighty is a good example of a hybrid.
