Different categories for vaporizers: who's top of the class?

[weedemon]

Ok, so over time I had learned that different vapes are better suited to different needs. This is why there is no one best vaporizer for everyone.

Lets make a list of the different categories / criteria we can think of for different users needs.

1. efficiency (conservation of herbs)
2. flavor/taste
3. individual use
4. group use
5. portability (mflb(1) VOS, Lotus, VG(1)...)
6. stealth (mflb(1)...)
7. water filtration
8. butane heat source
9. all glass vapor path (Vapolution, Bud Toaster...)
10. price
11. bag (VolcanoC(1)..)
12. whip
13. log
14. Accuracy of measurement (absolute values)
15. Protection against combustion
16. Regulation stability (relative values)

What have I forgotten? What product would you say are the best contenders for the crown of each class? Remember that you should only vouch for devices you have actually tried, not only read about

I think this would be a fantastic page for new members or people who don't know much about vaporization. to get them started and be better able to hone in on what they are looking for.

so give me your votes, and I will update the tally as we go along!



*edited:added votes, and other categories suggested.

9. all glass vapor path (personally i'm not sure this category should exist... are there any that don't use a metal screen?)

at least two:
Vapolution
Bud Toaster

Why is there no mention of temperature related features?

I can think of at least three:

• Protection against combustion.[/*]
• Regulation stability (relative values).[/*]
• Accuracy of measurement (absolute values).[/*]

these tier threads need to stop, they're only gonna end in a flame war.
lets try not to turn this thread into one.

I have not yet tried any other vapes, so I can't compare
but the vaporgenie does good in the categorys of stealth(I used it once on a terrace in the middle of the city, an older woman sitting at the table next to me spoke to me that she liked it that I was smoking a pipe and that you don't see that often anymore nowdays) and butane heat source at least, and also in portability, and it's relatively cheap
and it's tough, this night it was accidently under my pillow, nothing wrong with it this morning
and I've also dropped it often
the only thing that's 'broken' on it is that the bit of wood exposed at the top is all charred, this is because I use a torch lighter with it, I move the flame to soread the heat and I'm crosseyed so don't have depth perception(except when I'm high, then I do look with both eyes, I don't have a lazy eye just never look with both at the same time)

sorry, are you voting for those 2 or are you answering my question? too vaped to understand!

Weedomon, I think that this is a great concept. I am envisioning an exhaustive list of vaporizers with coded features, ex: MFLB - (1)(2)(3)(5)(6)(10), SSV - (2)(4)(12)

I think that first, creating a list of the vaporizers on the market, and then second, coding that list, might be more accessible than the model you proposed. this could be of great value to newcomers, etc. great idea!

I like it! thats is a good way to do it too! a poll would be the best i think because that would allow people to cast their vote and not prone to user error (me)

i dunno how we would put that together though. anyone got the know how?

Stirring vs no stirring...
