I do not need a new vape, but I want one. I've tried to distract myself with WAS, but I now have several ounces and I rarely use 1g a day!
I got my first vape, a Venty, in February. It was a revelation. No more fire for me! I have had zero problems with the Venty and am very happy with it. But VAS...
I got a FireFly 2+ next as I'd read that the vapor quality was better than the Venty. While it is different, I'd hesitate to declare one better tasting than the other. I also wanted something smaller to the Venty so that I can pocket it when out in the garden. I am not very happy with the FireFly. The main reason is the draw restriction. It is like trying to suck a golf ball through a garden hose. The other reason is those finicky capacitance buttons that often refuse to acknowledge they are being touched and also require a awkward grip. Is is very portable though, I like that.
Then I got a DynaVap B, and a Vaphit X-stem. I discovered that I don't like manual vapes. Too much fiddling, not enough inhaling.
Then I picked up a cheap, used Arizer Extreme Q. I like it well enough, though there is a lot more to setup as I need to use it outside (wife hates the smell of weed, probably more than she loves me). And I get much higher from a given amount of weed as the Venty does not go beyond 210C and I can extract more at higher temps. I don't think I would use it were it not for the higher extractions.
Now, I am debating what might be next. I think the FireFly 2+, DynaVap B, and Vaphit will be sold shortly.
Considerations:
- I am a flavour chaser, not a cloud chaser
- Prefer pure convection or hybrid for the flavour
- I am a sipper, I have baby lungs so I am not much of a ripper
- My wife insists on me vaping outside, so I have a preference for portable
- Something easier to pocket than the Venty would be nice
- I like easy to use, I want to sit and vape and think, not sit and fiddle with my vape and heat source
Ones that I am currently considering are:
- Angus Enhanced
Pro: great flavour, pure convection, and I don't own a halogen vape yet
Con: size mostly, it seems about as pocketable as the Venty
- AirVape Legacy Pro
Pro: reasonably pocketable, session and on-demand modes, pretty good flavour, inexpensive with the $100 off coupon
Con: bowl size is on the small side at 0.2g, taste is probably below the Venty and FireFly, draw restriction?
- TinyMIght 2
Pro: size, rave reviews, everyone seems to love the TM, pure convection
Con: price, fragility, it seems more for rippers than sippers
- ConVex by Entheos
Pro: size, pure convection, all glass vapor path, support a small vape maker
Con: price, living on the bleeding edge
I looked at the Taffee Bowle and while it sounds fantastic, it is less pocketable than the Venty.
I am open to other options. There are SO many different vapes out there. I am not too price sensitive if the device gives me something that I want and don't have.
I am looking for comments on the four that I have chosen, or suggestions for options that I may have missed. I am aware of ball vapes but (a) I'd prefer portables and (b) more importantly it looks like a deep VAS rabbit hole to fall down.
