I'm looking for a new vaporizer. I've got a Da Buddha and an MFLB with the power adapter.
I'm looking for the following features:
-Convection (this is the most important feature, only heating the herb when I'm hitting it means low smell)
-A fairly large capacity (this is where my MFLB fails)
-Portable (this is where my Buddha fails)
-Easy operation (I know this is hard to find with convections, but I'm definitely looking to share).
Any ideas?
What do you mean by portable? There are cordless designs that meet your requirements (FlashVAPE, Lily, Zion) but pocketable convection units are rare to begin with, and if you want large capacity I can't think of one that qualifies.
If all you need is cordless then the Zion would be a good choice, but how long can you wait? It won't be available for general purchase any time soon.
The FlashVAPE does everything you ask. It has a learning curve but it's not difficult to master for someone with LB experience. As
@lwien says, however, it's not good for sharing unless everyone knows how to use it. It's extremely powerful and heats up quickly so inexperienced users often reach combustion. The FV has a huge bowl, certainly the largest of any device I've had experience with. It can be true convection when used inverted. With the Stage 2 convection spacer, it is mostly convection but the second screen heats up and adds some conduction. It's hard to know where the conduction kicks in. Of course, if you can't tell how important can it be? (Aside: I don't think it's important at all. I've used the FV both inverted to get true convection, and with the conduction setup. I can't detect any difference in the vapour.)
I used the FV as my daily driver right up until I started testing the Zion. I think it is a brilliant design but I rarely recommend it because of the learning curve. I know several experienced vapourists who have tried it, immediately got a cherry, and gave up on it. Some of them post right here at FC!
