So... Decision time!
I first had a TetraX, but it never worked properly (power would drop to nearly 0 watts) and I combusted once or twice while fiddling with resistance values, etc. I also didn't like having to deal with charging batteries and worrying about leaving them at 100% for too long. I'd charge them up to storage voltage and then charge them to 100% if I knew I was going to vape later that day, but that was pretty annoying.
Then I got a Crafty+, which puts out clouds in the first hits and is fool-proof. But I didn't like that it's always cooking the herb and then I'd get anxious about having the vape the whole capsule (or dumping it out in between mini-sessions). I also didn't like having an aluminum oven, aluminum capsules, and rubber WPA. Also, the battery life is very poor, especially with our semi-on demand way of using it (dumping out the capsule between each "mini-session").
My latest vape is a bamboo Heat Island with a 7/16 SS heat and glass roasting tube that goes into my Rattle Can bubbler. I love the on-demand and not having to worry about batteries. But it takes forever to heat up and it's annoying to fine-tune the voltage. It starts off at ~11.6 V and then goes down to 11.2 V as the vape gets hotter and hotter, and if you're not careful it can scorch the herb. Also, the bowl is annoyingly small (about 1/3 of an S&B capsule, more or less), so I have to constantly be stirring and dumping the herb.
So now I'm considering:
- a Herborizer Ti System for only €232 shipped within Europe (Black Friday sale)
- a Cloud Connoisseur Halo for $255 + shipping to Europe & import taxes/fees
I'm kind of a safety freak, so my main concerns with the Herborizer is that the titanium heater changes colors and I wonder if the airpath is really safe. And with the Halo I was told that the air doesn't go through any wires or weird materials in the bulb socket (like some other halogen vapes), but I've never seen photos of its insides.
The other thing is that both of them can get very hot, and we like to use our vapes with a handheld bubbler while sitting/reclining on our couch. I'm a bit clumsy and I wonder if we could get any serious burns if we accidentally brush the vape against our skin or drop it on our lap (or even worse, light our blankets on fire!).
Any advice?
Thanks!

I just never alluded. Elaboration for that and context.
