Guys, I need help. I have Arizer Solo II and Plenty. I enjoy using both of them, I get a nice high from both, but once in a couple of weeks I smoke from a bong and each time I notice that a single bong rip gets me higher than vaping the same amount of bud. It's a more energetic and intense high when I smoke. But I really don't want to return to smoking. SO there are tons of posts here about Vapcap M and how it's really close to smoking in terms of effects. So can someone who's an owner of both Solo and Vapcap (or Plenty + Vapcap) tell me if the Vapcap is worth purchasing for me?
I’ve never smoked, but I think a lot of the comparisons to smoking with a VapCap are to the way it’s used more than the effects, although it does also work for a lot of smokers (more joint smokers?) effects-wise.
I wouldn’t discourage you from getting a VapCap, and you may love it, but in my experience getting a larger hit with more energetic and intense mental effects (which can easily get to be too much for me) is more in the wheelhouse of a powerful desktop like the NewVape FlowerPot.
If you’re at all interested in concentrates I’d get the VRod head, if not the ShowerHead is also a great choice. Check out the
FP thread for more info, but I’m pretty sure it’ll give you what you’re looking for.
There are also some other good desktop options like the Evo, Glass Symphony, Herborizer, etc. but I haven’t tried them so I can’t compare the effects. I just know for me the VapCaps are more sedative and mellow, and if I hit the FlowerPot hard it really hits me back.
I think a good amount of the difference is caused by mostly conduction (VC) vs full convection (FP) along with the more stable and optionally higher temps of the FP.
With the price of a VapCap M so low though, it’s also well worth a try. I think some of the VonGs (which you can use with or without glass) are only a little more too, and they’re all on sale right now. Even if it doesn’t fill all of your needs, it may be exactly what you want sometimes. Right now it’s my most used vape, just not my hardest hitting option.
Personally I prefer the Omni XL (currently with a carbon fiber stem) to the M, but I use both. Dry I definitely like the titanium tip on either, but if you like more draw restriction you might prefer the stainless steel tip the M comes with.
I hope that helps!
