Hey all you guys and gals at FC, you were extremely helpful in my selection of my first vape ever, the SSV, and what better advice could I have asked for? (About 5 years ago i got my SSV). Its definitely still working perfectly, although missing the arty knob (not that it matters since underneath is a more accurate heat switch lol). Also i have to say, i had the original Pax for about 2 years now and i was disappointed by it. I bought it straight from Ploom and at first was doing great,but just within a few weeks (lubricant and stuff) was simply stuck shut and wont work or open. And thats okay, but i tried contacting ploom about it (specifically replying to one help email address that i know they check) maybe 3 separate times, i wanted to send it in to get it fixed. NO ANSWER AT ALL. The only answer was something like an automated "are you following these easy steps? If it still doesnt help, contact us again and we will help you". After that, no reply whatsoever so im stuck with a Pax that doesnt work. And as for its vapor quality it was nice but it was no SSV. People who know how to draw on a real vape whip seemed to like it but some people just didnt know how to hit it right. Also most strains the SSV did MUCH better when comparing.
(^THIS IS BACKGROUND "TL;DR" but it is important as why im NOT considering things like Pax2 and the Firefly....unless you guys think i should give them more of a chance... )
So okay i decided since i do already have an (old but still working well) SSV, my first thought was the new Super SSV, i love the idea of forced air on such a great vape and bags too. But with the $420 price, is it actually worth it? Im fine with drawing on my old SSV. Just hope the heating element lasts ANOTHER 5 years lol. Also drawing my eye in the plug-in arena, the Plenty. But again, maybe not worth it with a working SSV? What i think i really want is a portable like the Mighty. I was also reading about a somewhat cheaper "grasshopper"? And also im completely unfamiliar with these log vapes like the E-Nano... Never tried one, ever. The devices im most interested in are the Mighty, Super SSV, And these new things like the grasshopper. Is there something like the mighty thats equallty good but also cheaper (storz and bickel pricing, sigh, lol)
I know this is ALOT of text but i am so grateful for any advice! Thanks so much to anyone who reads this! Any input would be really great, of people who are familiar with these devices!
(UPDATE: btw decided to give contacting ploom one last chance, i figure by phone would be better, but thats really not at all what im trying to figure out in this thread, and totally not out to make anyone look bad thats for sure, just for the record. And if there is a good reason why a PAX2 is worth it, im open minded to anything really. Just didnt like not getting any support for my PAX1 through their system)
