Corded Hand-held Vapes - Plenty or LSV or ??

[Balzac]

I'm looking to the plunge and try a non-portable vaporizer. I know about the Plenty and Life Saber and have been researching them online.

I'm leaning towards the LSV because its available right now at $140 but I'll admit i'm drawn to the mystique of Storz and Bickel's "premium" reputation.

It seems the vapor quality between the two is pretty comparable - is this true? Has anyone had both to compare?

My consumption is fairly low (I vape the equivalent of two Arizer solo bowls a day; in one session).

Are there any other non-desktop vapes I should check out? Thanks!

If I were you I would check the enano out. The Plenty is good but the Enano is approx $150 cheaper and Imo is a vastly superior vaporizer as well as being much more efficient.

I think the Hammer is definitely worth a peak. But the Nano or UD would be my choice for hand held corded. The LSV and Plenty are just too big. But the LSV is great and I suggest it over the Plenty.

The LSV has become my favorite through a bubbler. The all glass vapor path is wide open and produces hits ranging from subtle and tasty to billowing clouds. The shorty wpa puts the herb virtually on top of the heater cover for monster rips yet conserves surprisingly well. I'm less fond of the standard glass transfer wand, preferring the SSV through a whip. The LSV looks more awkward than it is IMO, and is surprisingly well balanced, as a life saber should be.

The Vriptech Heat Wand looks pretty neat. Almost like the LSV but a bit different. The creator seams very passionate and has some neat looking accessories.

Like this concentrate bowl?:

I don't know much about the LSV but I did just rant about the Plenty over here: http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/plenty-or-mighty.16890/

The price is totally worth it.

The price was totally worth it...............for ME.

Fixed.

Thanks for your input everybody. I'd had my eye on a Log vape for awhile but I always considered them to be large desktop units until I watched a youtube video and discovered how small they really are!

Because of their efficiency, I'm thinking I'm highly leaning towards getting an E-Nano now over the Plenty or LSV. I have an unused Vapor Brothers desktop unit (impulsively purchased) that I can sell to fund it.

Enano's and Underdog's seem pretty much the same except for the dial on the former. Is that pretty much the consensus?

 

[HellsWindStaff]

Underdog is my choice, I'm partial though because I don't own the others, but I get great joy out of holding, just looking at, and buffing it up with the Underbutter. Thing is sexy as fuck.

That's not even taking into account its performance which is on par with the aesthetics.

My .02

Edit: In regards to the dial/no dial between the two, I believe that is the only difference, but I'm not sure.

Salutations Balzac,

I'm leaning towards the LSV because...

...highly leaning towards getting an E-Nano now...

Personally i'd want my next vape to have an obvious path that i can understand, visualize and even explain easily. If it's a black box with a mystery zone in between its input and output then that should ring an internal bell, an alarm signal as far as i'm concerned, because learning a few things from this web site rendered me more demanding and expectative, if not excessively selective or whatever i guess... So it seems your instinct and mine ain't much different in some ways, though radically divergent in others. The black box models in particular, unless it's "obvious" inside and out. I prefer "See-Thru" concepts actually, but that's only theory anyway.

If only there were electric self-conditiong table units as i require moisturization! When electric some glass accessory (with water/ice) would be a must, especially for sensitive throats... When you're all set it would be nice to see the final set on a couple snapshot: i appreciate illustrations very much.

Good day, have fun!

Efficiency is in the user IMO. The LSV can be used with smaller quantites also, but can also do larger bowls.

For only $140 (LSV) vs $200 for the nano, I'd lean toward the LSV. But you can't go wrong with either so I wouldn't sweat it too bad.

Ultimately they both use similar technology, difference being the nano is 30W vs the LSV is 60W heater.

I own and love both the LSV and the enano. Below is my opinion of each. Overall they are both great and you can't go wrong with either.

The enano gets most of my use. The size makes it convenient and it is low maintenance. It is extremely efficient and absolutely excels at small loads. It is great to pair with smaller glass water pieces.

The LSV is very efficient itself but is not quite as good as the nano because it doesn't do small loads quite as well. I prefer the vapor quality of this over the nano and it has very little restriction. It can do large loads and is great for groups. Its size makes it a little less convenient and I use this when I have people over or if I am going to have an extended session.
