HAZE VAPORIZER REVIEW
Hello my friends!
Several weeks ago I was fortunate to have a conversation with
@scottg402 where he introduced me to the Haze vaporizer. After a few conversations, I purchased one. The dual bowl feature, and the ability to vape oil had me sold!
First a big thanks to Scott, Jamie, Emily, and everyone else at Haze. You guys are fantastic!
*First impression*
Wow! Very, very nice. I was very impressed with not only what the unit came with, but the quality of everything in the box. I felt great about my purchase! So I was off to a good start.
Included in the Haze box was:
-1xHaze Unit
-1xHaze charger (very nice, 2 battery charger reminiscent of a 2 battery version of the NiteCore I4 with a USB output)
-2x convection screens
-2x conduction screens
-2x oil cans
-2x batteries
-2x stems (1 glass, 1 surgical stainless steel)
-1x double sided cleaning brush
-1x tweezer shovel tool (very versatile with a shovel scoop built in)
-1x instructional DVD
-1x User manual (no temp chart, needs to be added)
After the usual battery charge and burn offs (no fuming whatsoever) I commenced vaping. To be fair I used both screens and the cans with herb, I used .25 grams of Diesel for all testing, and used a medium grind with a very slight packing.
I started my review on temperature #2 with the conduction screen.
Lets see what kind of job the low temps can do.
The taste is fantastic, but there is no visable vapor until the end of my sessions.
However I did get highly medicated after 6 draws with each method. Very medicated.
IMO temp #1 is useless, and temp #2 is not high enough. I would like to see temp #1 and #2 to be higher than they currently are to be more "useable".
Temp #2 tastes great, but no vapor.
Temp #3 I was more than pleased with the flavor, and there was vapor production. It was great.
Temp #4 Tasty, more vapor present. A little warm for me.
Temp #4 vapor
ABV was nice, light, and uniform
Next the convection screen.
Temp #2 great taste no vapor. The temperature doesn't seem to be high enough.
Temp #3 great taste minimal vapor. Much better temperature setting.
Temp #4 good taste, warm but increased vapor. Getting too hot.
Temp #4 vapor.
ABV nice and uniform.
Now for using herb with the can. This has been discussed quite a bit on the thread.
Temp #2 Nice taste, no vapor.
Temp #3 nice taste and better vapor production.
Temp #4 still tastes good increasing vapor production.
Temp #4 vapor.
ABV much darker, but even. The cans definitely get the most out of your herbs.
IMO the conduction screens work better than the convection, but the cans work the best for flavor, vapor, and efficiency.
I have to mention how much I love the tweezers! They are extremely useful and handy.
Now lets see how the Haze works with oils. I started on Temp #4 for the oils.
I put .17 grams of shatter in the can.
Holy cow! The haze vapes shatter like a freaking beast! I was more than impressed. I took 8 delicious draws.
Temp #4 shatter in the can vapor.
WOW! The Haze works great with oils!
Oils are a sticky business, so be sure to keep your Haze clean after using any oils.
I held the Haze vertically while I was vaping oil.
It is much better to vape oils holding the Haze horizontally to keep the cans upright.
I wanted to see if I could vape shatter holding the Haze vertically. I put a piece of organic cotton on top of the shatter to absorb the liquid.
While this seemed good in theory, the cotton absorbed a majority of the shatter and I got fewer wispier draws. This didn't work well.
So. Lets try using just one of the cellulose acetate pads that come in the can for E-juice.
I wanted the purest taste, so I soaked and did a burn off with the pad.
I then completely saturated the pad in a dab jar full of oil for 30 minutes on a warm light bulb.
This is the result.
Temp #4 with oil on a pad.
The taste was back! The first draw had a faint taste of the pad, but it went away fast! I took about 8 draws and shut her down. She was still going strong!
Sorry for the bad pic. I was pretty medicated so a pic alone was hard.
Before I give my final thoughts I want to share this.
A plastic fuse holder case will easily hold 6 cans packed very conveniently.
Final thoughts.
*THE GOOD*
-Dual ovens!
-User friendly design.
-Quality product with an amazing warranty.
-Awesome price for an amazing vaporizer.
-Outstanding customer service!
-The taste of the herb is amazing on #2 and #3.
-The Haze vapes oil like a champ!
-Replaceable batteries. I am so sick of "specific" chargers for vapes (pax I'm talking to you)!
-Ergonomic. I really like the way the Haze feels in my hand and my pocket.
-The cans are fantastic! If I had to choose a screen it would be the conduction.
-The stainless steel mouth piece tastes just as good as the glass.
-Tastes extremely pure from the start.
*THE NOT SO GOOD*
-Temperatures need to be adjusted. Temp #1 is useless and should be the temp of #2, which is barely useful and should be raised as well IMHO.
-Battery door can come open when tapping the stem out. That should be an easy fix.
-Needs a battery life meter. (Possibly use the temp change button and show each of the 4 dots as 25% life)
-Longer lasting batteries would be great.
My final thoughts.
-Overall I think the Haze is an amazing performer.
-I don't like the first 2 temp settings and I still love the Haze.
-It needs a battery life indicator.
-I was amazed at its versatility with herbs and oils.
-Why doesn't every vaporizer have 2 ovens! Brilliant!
-For only being on the market for 6 months, the Haze not only works great as is, but is constantly improving!
-I believe with some small tweaks the Haze will be the one to beat. I do not think that will happen unless they change the temperatures. I would not doubt that is holding a lot of people back from purchasing one.
-I wish the battery was on the other side. That would keep the unit cooler in your hand and the cans would be upright when holding it (if your right handed).
-spill/leak proof cans would be amazing if that is possible with oils.
-Cloud chasers may be skeptical because of the very low temps. I am no cloud chaser but I do like to see "confirmation" vapor.
Other than my personal strong beliefs that the temperatures need changed, and it should have a battery life indicator, the rest is just nit picking at it.
The rest are wants, not needs.
The Haze is a great vaporizer at a great price. It is versatile and user friendly. It works well with all methods of "screens" all of which I'm sure are personal preferences.
I would definitely recommend the Haze to a friend (I already have).
My rating: 4.5/5 stars
As always, I thank you for taking the time to read my review.
I hope this was helpful!
