New Portable Desired - Advice please ;)

[PoisonousHydra]

From personal experience, I would tell you to get a WISPR (in spite of never being able to get a working unit), or an Arizer Solo. I would stay away from the MFLB if you are worried about "a lot of fiddly bits", as this does in deed ring true with my experiences regarding the unit.

Based on conjecture I would suggest that you also look into the PAX, as it sounds like it would fit most of your needs for a portable pretty well. It is probably the next portable I will buy, especially if I can get a good deal on it.

Thanks for all the top tips. I have never known a forum with such obviously massive enthusiasm for the subject.

Still very tempted by both the WISPR2 for portability and no battery worries, but I also love the Solo. I was pretty satisfied with my iolite and it continues to serve well, so any improvement on that would seem like a bonus (for only £100).

Will continue to consider this for some time...

I ended up getting the LOTUS with a WPA. I suspect the only time I will use the stem is away from home. So far I like it a lot, but the nature of it will lead to many ancillary purchases. Like 3 additional torches so far...

I actually find I enjoy the al stem at home sometimes too. It's really smooth and sometimes just nice not having to take out and fill up a bong.

Went with the SOLO in the end and loving it , thanks for all the advice.

Salutations Misanthrope,

...didn't like the feeling/idea of basically breathing in a lighter with every draw. Found myself wishing the stone would stay hot for longer.

I wish you could have a try with mine:

Well, i mean what it has become since then of course.

I can speak for the outstanding quality and durability of my Arizer EQ. I'm sure the Solo would be a beast! Arizer is a great brand from what i've experienced so far
