Please correct me if I am wrong: The miniVap Charger is included in the "normal edition" MV portable (you need it to charge the battery). But the MV adapter is not included here, thats it's what you need to buy additionally in order to plug it.

Yes, the Charger comes with the portable kit--you use it to charge the battery. MV adapter is NOT included with the portable kit, it comes with the cheaper "MV Single" as that only allows use plugged in as a desktop.
If you got the MV Single and added the battery and battery dock, it would be much more than:
buying the "Portable kit" + buy AC adapter which allows battery or desktop use.
Flexicone is a cleaner, much better IMO option versus putting herb directly in chamber.Easy to load, easy to unload , keeps chamber spotless, etc.
Pic shows the Flexicones (silicone lids), screens, MV basket on left, and Arizer screen basket on right (smaller and cheaper but also not nearly as solid built).
You connect to make a Flexicone module: wire basket with herb, round scree snaps into Flexi lid to keep herbs from being sucked out, then Flexicone snaps on.
That Flexi module, assembled unit, just snaps into MV cover, you screw lid/cover on, and you are good to go.
After use, take off cover with Flexi snapped into it, draw air thru the mouthpiece or whip to cool down flexi, remove Flexi, dump, reload. Here's where extra Flexis/baskets come in handy--to preload--but not necessary.
