Man...it’s been a long time since I used a portable that I liked so much I had to come in here and talk about it!
I got my V3 yesterday after finding my sweet spot with the V2 over the last week, and I’m in love...and here’s why. It’s the biggest hitting portable I have, right up there with the Apollo. Most nights, after testing portables that just don’t satisfy a heavyweight like myself, I have to fire up my Herborizer or some other sweet desktop with a big bowl to knock me out, but not last night.
Each of the Square’s bowl packs a wallop, and there’s four of them to run around with! The bowls are so big it’s actually a two-hitter instead of a one-hitter because it takes that first hit to get it all up to temp. After 2 or 3 hits I’m feeling it and saving the rest for later, and I can get another 2 on-demand sessions like that before it’s spent. I went out to a hot spot last night with one packed bowl in the Square and when I needed to, I ran outside for a quick two hits and got what I needed before going back in. This never happens for me on a portable...it always feels like a band aid fix that won’t get there until I can get home and hit my desktop.
The Square has some minor problems, but I just don’t care when it hits like this...it’s liberating for high tolerance users! I can run through the battery before I want, but with quick charging and pass through it doesn’t matter...it’s always ready to give me a quick punch somehow. The slow-to-respond button doesn’t bother me anymore...I figure it’s just telling me to slow down a little and chill. And I don’t mind holding in the button in all the time anymore. You know what I do? I always use it with the button on the bottom, Then I use my thumb on the button and just give it a gentle pinch and the weight of the Square is enough to keep it on with barely a press, and the haptic tells me when it’s ready. Out of the box it’s not hot enough for a top temp user like me and I have it set to 450F and use that temp for the entire bowl start to finish. Tastes great most of the way through and I tap the outside like
@paytonpenn to stir and when done the abv comes out like it does on my desktops so that’s good enough for me.
You see what’s happening here? When a vape hits me like this I don’t care about the shortcomings anymore. No vape is perfect and it’s about finding the right one for you. Turns out what I needed was a portable that could punch me in the face at a moment’s notice. If you’re a heavy hitter looking for something that can keep up on the road, this is the line to get in. Just make sure you have access to the app somehow.
