Heavy hitters only (non/portable)

[nonamekevin]

I'm really looking into my next vape and want the heavy hitters. Need recommendations from y'all.

Daily user here. I love both my flip brick and runt, currently on the flip brick because it's the newest. I use my dynacoil for concentrates. Multiple bowls a night through the flip, dyna-dabs on the weekend only.

I am looking for a heavy hitter. Desktop primarily unless a portable can really compete. I understand nothing will be as fast as a brick, so I'm not too concerned about heat up. I'm looking vapes that hit harder than my bricks. What is the next step?

Regards.

edit: I'm high. didn't realize you wanted desktop only.

no desktop really interests me rn besides glass symphony xlr

I have been really liking the De Verdamper lately. It doesn't hit quite as hard my flowerpot, but it's a lot more enjoyable to use in my opinion.

Isn't heavy hitting more a question of temperature? There are so many hard hitters on the market, look at this for ex.: https://www.herbonaut.com/best-dry-herb-vaporizer/

If you want a desktop, Volcano.

Portable or desktop, give a look at the minivap glass core, huge flavorfull dense clouds!

Although I agree most desktop are clouds maker if well used, I even get very big clouds out of my old Herbalaire 2.2 which is 200°C max only...

After it's a matter of personnal preference, dry hits or water filtration, glass or whips, bags, one hitter/session,...

Sublimator subculture!

Full transparency: I've never used one, but looks intense!

Tera on a bong is a pretty hard hitter but as far as herb vapes go it is hard to beat vaping a big full bowl in the S&B Plenty.
If I want face melts I usually go for the slap in the face rosin dabbed on my Halo or on ruby in a banger.

You know, I never really gave the plenty a second look, but I keep hearing that it's a heavy hitter. Is this because of the bowl size alone? How's the extraction speed?

Not sure if it's considered a desktop vape, but the G43 by the Vape Critic should be mentioned here. Haven't tried it, but I'm sure it hits nicely. Though it's hard to get these days, it's still worth keeping in your mind if you are hunting for that one, big, satisfying hit.

...flowerpot showerhead... or life sabe vape (LSV)... nuff said....

 

[Poostuff]

Any plugin will hit harder than a portable in my opinion.
The Sublimator & Volcano Hybrid are two of my favourites.

Imo, NewVape VRod or Weedeater deserve your attention. If you want to do concentrates then VRod, if Flower only then Weedeater. Def heavy hitters, both plug-ins that use a bong/bubbler but are easily transported around the house on a tea tray if you choose. Some folks get intimidated about what they need but the NV website has recently done some things to make it easier and if you have specific questions, someone here can answer or feel free to DM me and I can help ya.

Everyone seems to love the Volcano Hybrid, some units have had little issues, to be expected imo on a new product rollout, and all resolved in a timely manner by S&B. Thing that makes me want one is how happy this release has made everyone (for the most part), most really feel the experience is well worth the premium price-tag and this weekend you can get it at 20% off . Check out the positivity in the Hybrid thread!

Whenever the new Sub release happens, it'll be worth looking into but prepare to have some sticker shock. Older models were around a grand when new.

Vapexhale EVO maybe? Used to be regarded as a heavy hitter, I suppose still is, but the device is way past due for an update (imo) yet the pricing is decidedly premium. So many members that I value and respect have an EVO in their stable so it's definitely for real and I can't judge since I haven't owned one.

Feel like I'm forgetting someone that I should remember...

How's the extraction speed?

Sipping on a J-hook = slow, ripping on a bong is quicker but can still take a while if you can pull long enough, the Plenty keeps producing.
I also think the LSV gets overlooked too due to its simple design, all say it can give you a good bang for your dollar.

The biggest heavy hitter vapes have big bowls, powerful responsive heaters and are high temp capable so they can flirt with near combustion temps for full extraction in a draw or two. In desktops a number of vape options come to mind, including the Sublimator, VapeXhale EVO, Flowerpot, Supreme V4, Volcano Hybrid, and Super Surfer 2. For a log vape, I've often wondered about the big bowl Underdog Alpha-dog log vape too.

Maybe it’s just me but I don’t need huge clouds to get medicated. In fact, I often get more messed up with wispy, barely visible vapor.

I suppose it’s a temperature thing and how ones body reacts? Everyone is different, but for me it’s more about the herb quality than it is about cloud size. I think it’s a misconception that a ‘heavy hitter’ must always produce big clouds.

 

[nonamekevin]

I appreciate your replies everyone. It sounds like, from people who claim actual experience, three people have said newvape. Is it really a heavy hitter?

Would love to hear from others with experience. Anyone have experience with two of the following:
Newvape, cloud evo, Supreme, herbalizer, Sub, etc?

Edit: @Exsmoker you're right, I guess I always think big clouds = heavy hits. Maybe it goes back to my bong days? Could you say more about why you feel you get more medicated off of wispy hits?

 

[invertedisdead]

Flowerpot or Supreme can both vape a whole bowl in like 5 seconds.

That said, it's all a sliding scale. Once these heavy hitters become your norm, they wont feel as potent either.

three people have said newvape. Is it really a heavy hitter?

Sometimes!!

 

[muunch]

Newvape Flowerpot is definitely a heavy hitter but it's heavy in the sense you can fit like a halfgram in the bowl and crush it in a few hits.

I originally voted for Grasshopper but still have trouble recommending it because of reliability stuff... but considering heat up time - I think it's as heavy (if not heavier hitting) than my FP was - weight for weight.

0.2g in the GH killed in a rip or 2 absolutely annihilates me. I also feel it provides a less heady, more "stoney" high than my Flowerpot did

That rip looked super satisfying.

Edit: @muunch I was considering it before the fire. Can't remember what video I watched, might have been @Sneaky Pete, but someone crushed a bowl using a pfe GH in like a hit.

My wife and I are moving back to Boulder next year, maybe I'll revisit GH then.

The Flowerpot Vrod would be my recommendation for what you're seeking. Definitely a heavy hitter for sure with amazing flower performance and excellent concentrate performance. It will definitely outshine your Dynacoil for concentrate performance imo.

For desktops, heat up times really only come I to play if you're looking for a quick one and done session. But for my usage, I typically leave my desktops on for long periods of time during the day so they're ready to rip at a moment's notice. And yes, in general, a desktop will always outperform a portable.

The EVO is a top tier flower vape, but it definitely lacks in concentrate performance imo. Not that it's bad by any means, but when you try what other options offer, you really see how it lacks. EVO and Vrod have comparable flower performance imo, but the Vrod is superior with concentrates. I'd say the EVO would still outperform your Dynacoil though.

But the ultimate performance for concentrates come from a dedicated concentrate vape imo. Such as a quartz banger/ruby insert combo, or something like the NV Dcup.

Verdamper, arguably the hardest hitting flower vape of them all and so little known still for such a legendary and Powerful extractor which has been around for so long.

Just mentioning that because I doubt anybody else will and it really does still baffles me that more people have not stumbled across and tried out this amazingly hard-hitting desktop.

I'm sure that others will chip in with suggestions for all of the other really big heavy hitters.

Herborizer Ti is another one with exceptional vapor quality, flavour and smoothness which hits equally as hard as the Flowerpot and many others which will be mentioned here.

Again I'm only mentioning it because it may not get a mention here otherwise and it deserves to be included.

Thanks for the info homie! What's interesting, is after seeing Troy's video on the Rio, I'm really looking at that as my dedicated concentrate setup. Knowing that I'm only looking at a flower setup, would you still give the same advice?

Just saw this. You beat me to it, I honestly didn't expect a shout here for the Verdamper, it doesn't tend to get mentioned very much.

Interesting that you feel it doesn't hit quite as hard as your Flowerpot because I have known others to express otherwise.

I owned one for 6 years and it never failed to destroy me and everybody else who crossed it's path. Heavy hitter indeed.

Also just saw the shout for the Glass Symphony. Another very heavy hitter however not really available because the inventor has gone awol for a long time now and there is a bit of a queue of hopeful customers.

If you're going straight flower both the NV and EVO are comparable, and the one you prefer will depend on your preferences. Not going to go wrong with either.

NV is all Ti, so not going to break. The EVO has a glass air path, but a SS herb basket. I never really noticed a taste difference between the two, but you might have more sensitive taste/smell than I do.

I used to own a NV Vrod, EVO, and NV Showerhead. I sold the Vrod and EVO, and now just have the SH and a quartz banger/ruby insert.

My usage patterns shifted and I mainly use concentrates these days, so the ruby insert is more than worth it.

I sold the Vrod and kept the SH because I like to take high temp, uncapped hits that resemble bongs hits with flower. The SH is slightly better at this than the Vrod imo. I've never personally used the Weedeater, so can't compare it. There's some good info in the Flowerpot thread about comparisons between all 3 models though.

Hope that helps.

sticky brick maxx, junior, ghost mv1, cloud evo, newvape vrod/showerhead, simrell dynavap, cant go wrong, they all hit hard
