Hi again MichaelStone,
...was it about vapolution?
Indirectly. There was a discussion which culminated around the matter of glass-wrapped tungsten (read "clean") heater elements and then i thought you just might be curious about alternatives capable of competing with the
Arizer Extreme Q selling for 195.99 $ CAD (on PlanetVape)... After all a Vapolution will cost 159.99 $ USD
on the manufacturer's web site (should one select their "Portable" package", i mean) - which sounds like a nice trade-off between their Basic and Ultimate offers. Additionally, i sort of like the fact that it's directly compatible with 12 Volts automobile (cigarette-lighter) power... Although it's more transportable than portable to be honnest; also i view it like a valid "Plan-B" to have but otherwise i'm sold to HerbalAire myself as that particular deal seems hard to beat!
Starting from there the Plenty looks expensive at 348.95 $ CAD and i don't really know what's inside because i simply prefer to ignore anything Volcano. Still, neither TorontoVaporizer or PlanetVape have the palette i was thinking of (the problem here isn't related to your budget that clearly opens the door to "purity" - but i find the actual possibilities are simply too restrictive for my taste)! So, if it were me i'd pick an HA 2.2 but others who vape outdoors may consider the Inhalater XP is a viable alternative at 249.95 $ CAD, etc. In any case i'd try hard to include some Plan-B in my purchase (VaporGenie or Vaponic cost is below 60 $ CAD, etc)...
Oh, and i always recommend Cannabians to buy Cannadian, or vice-versa, euh... To avoid the customs at USA borders.
Personally, i like the idea that when it dies my HerbalAire would be easy to turn into a rheostatic unit, in case of an "emergency". I'm not sure i'd want to buy one at 179.00 $ CAD while it's actually 249.95 $ USD from HerbalAire as i wonder what's the catch, i suppose other member should be able to complement on that one.
