I am not sure of Pax smell but Haze does not emit as much as my Ascent. The fact that it is small in size is a big plus for the concert setting I believe.Well crap. When did this little beauty enter the market. My next vaporizer purchase will be for a portable concert vape, and I have been focusing on the Firewood for that purpose, but this one catches my attention also, especially because of the dual bowls that would allow me to pack enough for a full show rather than carrying and having to install extra cartridges. On the other hand, the Firewood is on-demand, so I'm thinking using it with a Smoke Buddy Jr. would work well (anti-MJ state, small shows can be tricky). With this one being dual convection/conduction, does this unit emit a strong odor like the Pax when heating?
Hey dude! I use a smoke buddy all the time as well. There are just those situations when it is needed and your example is one of them.Well crap. When did this little beauty enter the market.

I have not used the Firewood yet but I have read some nice things about it. Not sure how comparable these are as this one is more than double the cost but does offer more features for those extra bucks. I would love the on demand though. No replacement for that!
If your serious about this I would encourage you to read the whole thread. Lots of useful info here and it will no doubt answer a lot of your questions.
I will throw you a bone on your smell question though. Three of us early adopters all had a Pax prior to picking up the Haze and I think we all agree that the Haze doesn't smell as much. In fact I can attest it is better than the Ascent as well. It does smell though as all vapes do.....
Your example of the show is a perfect one though. The preloaded cans are extra handy for situations like tha and two bowls is enough to get you through most shows so you may not need to bring extra cans along.
I like that a lot of vape companies utilizing cans/capsules/cartridges ect. It really enhances the benefits of a portable and I think it should be pretty much standard in any new vape design.
If you read back you will find that the Haze cans were originally designed for wax and oil but we figured out dry herb works too!
Good luck on your quest for your next vape!
So nick, you're saying Haze and VaporizerUSA are under an exclusive contract that gives the distributor rights for VaporizerUSA? Sorry, I like to know who I'm dealing with if I spend $249.99 on a unit.
"Buy more batteries" is not a good solution. Vapor quality is directly linked to battery life. They take four hours to charge and vapor gets wispier after the first session, in my opinion. Beyond that, the charger only fits 2, there is no way to use the unit while charging, and the base unit already costs $250. I can get over the initial cost (obviously I did, I bought it), but I have very little budget for additional accessories.
Also, I feel $6/can is a little high, in spite of its stellar design. There should be a 5 pack for $20. An easy buy that offers 1 can per day of the week. Perfect for med patients and discreet stoners.
The battery state also makes it less than totally portable. I purchased this instead of a Solo because I wanted extra portability. Now I HAVE to bring everything with me or I'm stuck waiting four hours for the batteries before I can vape at home. That's a huge bummer for a $250 device when there is a $125 unit that offers on par vapor; albeit in a (slightly) less portable form factor.
Discretion isn't even a real factor in buying this over a Solo because this looks like a flask. At least the Solo looks like a vape and more people are using vapes instead of tobacco everyday. I'd hazard to guess a Solo would draw less attention, in spite of it's significantly larger size. Obviously the draw to the Haze is the dual bowls and oil cans and I believe it was right for my needs over a Solo, but these are some pretty big usability problems for the Haze.
I'm also thinking there is something wrong with my silicone pads/door. I'm getting mostly good vapor production now that I understand how these batteries are, but there is definite movement when turned up to 4. Audible clicking and smell leakage seem to be happening as well. The clicking happens when the clip slips in or out of place, I think. I'll contact YourVaporizers tonight and Haze tomorrow. How intensely do I need to clean it before I send it back? The conduction and convection screens make a huge mess.
EDIT: I still don't understand how anyone is getting multiple sessions from one can. Maybe I just smoke more than most? I start it on 3, smoke it until I stop seeing vapor, kick it up to 4, and do the same. It's about a 10 minute session. It gets me well medicated, but I can't really see stopping halfway through and returning to half spent material. The battery ends up with a blinking middle indicator on the charger after that one session.
@Vape Dr. This was part of an email I had exchanged with Amy from Haze Technologies, "Our actual bowl temperatures get up to 470 - 510F (which keeps the herb temperature around 410F at the highest setting) which makes our product extremely unique in its category. You will not see any other portable device that gets to those temperatures in this size. The reason that these temperature levels do not burn the herb is our patent pending heat exchange system. These temperatures allow you to vaporize wax efficiently but not combust the herb at the same time. These temperatures explain why dry herb in an oil can also works well."
Hope this helps peace
