Yo guys! Glad I found this thread as I currently have both an old Swiss made Vapman as well as a new Lotus on the way!
Do you guys have any other recommendations for real flavor heavy manual vapes? I'm trying to consume a bit less and anything that's in between the Vapman's chamber and a ball vape (my go-to is an Omega with a shovelhead bowl: I usually just snap 0.1-0.2g in one hit) would be great! Thanks for any and all suggestions, everybody!
Both those vapes are great for flavor. The advice of all glass vapes (air paths) is a good one. TRWW vapes are all very good on flavor being all glass. They are fairly similar so based on your chamber size requirements I think you are looking at terpcicle mini or quartz cap mini, or the quartz caps for dynavap, which improve taste and function.
You could go slightly bigger, as they all work just as well loading less material. So then you'd be looking at terpcicle, terpedo or quartz cap 14mm. These can all be used with water so gives you a few more options compared to the minis. However, on the flip side a bit more of a faff to use if you are only wanting a quick hit.
Other options are Vaponic, vaphit (I have the X and there are zero issues with the quality - the price is incredible for what you get), Thermal Accumulator/tempest. Personally I don't think these have the great flavor of TRWW offerings but understand the form factor may be off putting.
Another option is a brick style vape. I find the flavor really good on these due to the convection nature. Even though there is wood in the pathway you'd be hard pressed to find such a great tasting hit. Also versatile as they can provide a wide variety of hit sizes almost instantly.
Hope this helps.
