Help me decide on a vape please!

[swagpenguin]

Okay. So as of right now, I have the MFLB. I like how it is so small and concealable, but I need something that is going to hit me harder; something that will get me absolutely baked out of my mind.
Now out of all the vapes I've done my research on, the VapeXhale Cloud looks to be my favorite. But seeing as it is a pretty expensive unit, and not very portable, I was thinking of holding off and getting a better portable unit first.
Now, the main two I've been torn between have been the PAX, and the Arizer Solo.
I feel like I'm leaning towards the solo more purely because of its longer battery life, and better vapor production. Also, I'd rather not have to clean my vape after every use.
What do you guys think? Should I get the Solo? Should I just splurge and get the VapeXhale Cloud and deal with my MFLB being my portable vape?
Is the VapeXhale Cloud THAT much better that its worth it.
(I will be living at home this summer when I come back from college, so being able to hide it from the parents is slightly important.)
THANKS GUYS!

You may want to check out the underdog vape. very stealth, and its the only vaporizer I own that doesnt smell up the place. That will be important if your home. Cant buy peace of mind.

Get a SOLO they do a lot for little money.
The MFLB is harse compared to a SOLO.
It will fit your needs.

any thoughts on the inhalator xp?

i haven't done much research on it but was wondering on how you think it compares to the solo

You never defined how you judge 'Vapor Quality'. As such, no proper response can be given.

This is true. I mainly meant overall quality. I guess you could say, potency is the major detail. Also, enjoyability. Pretty much if you could only choose one of them.

Thanks for bringing this up!

Its not fair to compare portables to plug in units.

 

[Bouldorado]

Not sure what your specific needs are, but it's hard to go wrong with a solo.

Its not fair to compare portables to plug in units.

That's what I am trying to decide. I know the plug ins are going to be better. What I am trying to figure out, is how many times better is the VapeXhale Cloud better than the Solo, and how many times better is the Solo than the MFLB.

Example: MFLB -- starting point
Solo -- 10 times better than MFLB
VapeXhale -- 3 times better than the solo

(I'm just making up these numbers though.)

So what do you think the real numbers would be?

 

[t-dub]

Your question is so subjective that its almost unanswerable. I hate the MFLB and would rate it much worse than others here. Having used a Solo but not owned one, I refuse to comment on it because I lack the proper long term experience from which to form that judgment. Neither of these devices can compete with the Cloud, and they are not meant to.

Well obviously a large portion of it is subjective and I am really looking for people's opinions. But to some degree everyone would agree that a Ferrari is nicer than a Toyota, but having never owned the Ferrari, I'm trying to see if it is truly worth the extra $$.

Watching videos might help you as well. Portable vapes have learning curves and compromises that desk top units don't. The Cloud serves up amazing vapor so easily. I would be concerned with form factor, your lifestyle needs, and how experienced you are in addition to "vapor quality" which again, portables will compromise at. Don't buy the Ferrari if you want a luxury car . . .

Edit: Here is a Cloud vid I made to get you going, it was kind of an artistic expression . . .

 

[OO]

It seems most people prefer certain things from their vapor.

Flavor, potency(generally efficacy), efficiency(generally thinner hits), milkability(generally thicker hits), and quite a few other things.

Those seem to comprise the common priorities. Would you agree with the definitions? In what order would you rank them as your priorities.

 

[Cotelio]

You might consider a gn0me piece! Much more affordable, to boot.

Slider

Cone + Water Pipe Adapter

All-glass airpath and all that jazz. http://fuckcombustion.com/threads/gn0me-lighter-based-vaporizers.4709/ I remember someone in the thread compared it to the Cloud, saying something like "How it hits when you find that sweet spot that gives you vapor exactly the way you like it... except you don't have to spend time heating it up, so you just pick it up and take a hit whenever you like."

As for hiding, activated carbon makes for amazing sploofs, Smoke Buddy is a good brand for premade ones.

I'd go with the VapeXHale if you're willing to pay the price and don't mind the non-portableness.

If you need it to be portable, I'd go with the Solo. The power adapter makes it a great pseudo-desktop vape, especially with a GonG adapter.

Personally, I really enjoy my Solo and have had trouble justifying any further vape purchases after getting it. Between the GonG, Power Adapter, and solid battery life, it is pretty much unmatched for my usage situation.

First of all, like others have said here, you should explicitely define what you mean when you say vapor quality but also the other characteristics you prefer in a vaporizer like size, efficiency, flavour and stealthiness.
If you fail to do this, nothing bad will happen, but there will be a higher probability of you choosing a worse option for your current needs.
Another thing to keep in mind is that you problably won't find the best set of characteristics in just one vaporizer, which is why most of us have not only more than one, but we have more than 3.

With all of this out of the way, i think the Solo is the next move for you at the moment. After vacations, consider the Cloud as it is unanimously considered the best option in almost every variable, except it has a lot of glass so it's fragile to some point and it is a plug-in, so it's not the best to carry around.

If you want a stealthy plug-in that is very easy to use and that also delivers amazing hits with a very small bowl which is perfect for when you're alone, the log vapes are my current choice and many here at FC as well.

The PAX is a waste of time considering you already got an MFLB, i think you need a different vaporizer.
The XP is like the Solo in most ways but it hasn't got as good of a durability since it has come out this year.

When I asked the consensus is that the solo is like 80% of a decent desktop unit and still portable. I did find people who enjoyed the hit of the solo better than the arizer EQ. Many people also seemed to say that if they could only own one vape it would be the solo. Now trying to compare it to a $500 desktop is probably pushing it. If you value efficiency get the solo, if you dont mind using alot of product to get big hits then get something like DBV, SSV, or Cloud.

EDIT: Also how happy are you with the MFLB? Its not for everyone if your not happy with it then getting another portable might be a good idea so keep that in mind. If you love it then why not get a plug in vape since you already have portable covered

a Ferrari is nicer than a Toyota

Nicer if you want to have your vehicle admired and go from 0-60 in 3 seconds, but for driving back and forth to work I'd take the Toyota.

You know enough about these models to read the threads in Vaporizer Discussion and make up your mind. Taking a survey to find everyone's favorite model isn't what this section is for, and someone else's preference is theirs, not necessarily yours.

Figure out whether you want a portable or an AC unit and go from there.
