You are right actually. Tried the bender long ago. It wins for best tasting herb vape. BUT the reason I forgot all about it, it really sucks for my usage
it takes way too much to fill the chamber. It isn't portable because its expensive and fragile, and it gave me good effects, but I can get much stronger if I packed those multiple bowls worth into the crafty instead.
Someone else once described the bender perfectly before so I'll try to paraphrase, but it was basically " the bender is the perfect vape to sit on the porch and have a nice long sunday session" or something like that. Its not really useful for anything else imo, but your right, the flavor is the best I've ever had...but the vape overall was forgettable for my portable needs.
The crafty produces more vapor, and harder hitting vapor for me, but again I forgot about the bender....#1 on the flavor list of all time for me.
