This thread is short and doesn't give justice to this vape.
The Novae I get produce the best quality vapor for this price point, imho the manufacturer set the temp very well and the ratio convection/conduction is in favor of the convection, just a pinch of conduction to be more efficient (I added a tiny flowermate capsule top in the bottom of the bowl in order to increase slightly the conduction aspect, works very well) without to compromise the taste.
I think it can compete favorably with higher priced units conduction based (X-Vapes vaporizers, IQ, Zeus arc GT) in term of vapor quality. For me a quality vapor out of a portable session vape has not only to be cloudy but tasty too for 3-4mn and efficient in term of reliefs. It shines used dry and it's what we ask for a portable device designed to be used on the go. I trully think it's some steps better than the susmentionned devices.
Building quality is awesome for the price too, solid metal body, sturdy battery lid, ceramic mp, ceramic water adapter, Samsung 25R battery and I like the design and feeling in hands.
Out of my portable session vaporizers collection it's the one seeing more use, if not everyday it's used 6/7 days, 1 to 3 sessions per day. Prima by vapir is a closed second but I'm under the impression the Novae medicates me better but not used on the same basis... with the novae I start at max temp for 2 heating cycles and it's great, with the Prima I like to start at low temp (level2) for a whole cycle and bump the temp at max (level4) for another cycle or so.
Great little vape i have to recommand more for beginners but for experienced vaporist too! Sure, it's worth the price but not cause the price is low, but cause the vaporizer is awesome, unique in its category.
