Long time lurker, first post. Came across this thread back in December when I was searching for a new portable to replace the pax I'd lost over the holidays. By the new year I was fully caught up and ordered my first Haze v2.5. It was delivered in early January and I loved it immediately. I live in Boston and spend a lot of time out at shows and the convenience of the cans and replaceable batteries makes it perfect for urban wandering, blending in seamlessly with the cigarette smokers outside the bars and clubs.
I did experience the issue with the switch breaking as was previously discussed, but in my case when it broke the vapor pathway to the bottom bowl was stuck in the open position so I held off on sending it in under the warranty right away. I used it with just one functioning bowl for another month or so since I didn't want to be without it before buying a second unit as a gift for my mother, and also so I'd have something to use while mine was being fixed. As usual the service from Haze was amazing. They answered emails quickly even on the weekend and after sending it in the unit was on its way back to me the day after it arrived in GA.
I hardly ever leave home without it especially since quitting cigarettes recently. When I saw the new version announced I immediately ordered the dry herb can lids and started dreaming about an upgrade. Like I said before I hardly leave home without it, so I decided to use the money saved from no longer buying cigarettes to buy another Haze that way I'd always have a backup if one needed to be sent in for the warranty coverage again. So I submitted a preorder for just the V3 unit in blue on Thursday, got an email Friday with the expected message that it was on back order and expected in 10-14 days, and then 5 hours later there was another email saying all colors would be available in 10-14 days but they could send me a black V3 with expedited shipping right away.
Of course I jumped at the chance to get a new V3 sooner rather than later, and today it arrived. I just got my hands on it, I'm on my second can with the dry lid and I'm already impressed. I never thought that the 2.5 felt cheap, but the 3 just feels more solid, especially when it comes to the switch. I'll add more feedback as I use it more, but my initial thoughts are all positive, all the upgrades I didn't know I wanted. Thanks
@Haze Vaporizers for putting out another great product and always providing great service.
