Great post!So far my MV1 is quite good in terms of quality and potency although there is some unevenness in abv.
The vast majority of the time I use my MV1 for concentrates and @funkyjunky 's Tubo for dry herb.
I'm waiting for the app to see how big of a difference it makes.
For concentrates the mv1 is my go to, it's like the FF2 but easier.
For dry herb I feel that the Tubo does everything that I wanted from the ghost but better.
If you think the mv1 is free flowing then you haven't tried the Tubo, the draw is completely open, the flavor's better, and it's much easier to load.
With the Tubo I can choose bent glass stem, water adapter to any piece or a whip. Not to mention the vapor path has 0 silicone.
The vapor from the MV1 is cooler than the Tubo sometimes, but if I use a different stem, say a dry hydrotube then the vapor is about the same temperature.
The Tubo has the ability to be more powerful than the MV1 because the heater seems stronger and I can load a lot more in a stem than a crucible.
The MV1 does have the best battery life, although the Tubo's batteries run out quick they're easily swappable.
For me the issue with the MV1 is in convenience. It's big, heavy, and awkward to load, but once you're using it it's great.
If you're only planning to use 1 crucible it's not too bad, when you want to reload a hot crucible that's when it starts to become annoying.
I'm still reaching for my Tubo or Omnivap for solo dry herb first, and I prefer my IQ for groups.
The MV1 is a great portable option for concentrates though. It's got a super long battery life, smooth vapor, and no stirring or charring with concentrates.
Overall I like my MV1 enough that I'm not going to return it, but it definitely has not replaced my other vaporizers.
Now say you could only have one vape (not including my wax pen), for everything (the horror, I know...) with no water pieces... All things considered, what would it be?
