I've owned over twenty portables and the Gaia was the worst and the first one to be sold off.At vaposhop there is the Linx Gaia and Linx Eden. I personally don't have experience with these, but the general review and feedback seems positive. Linx Gaia 115 euro, Eden 99 euro, and believe the 10% discount still works.
I'd skip the Arizer portables too. The draw resistance is better on the Fury 2 and unlike the Solo II you don't need to carry the stem and vape separately.
For quality flavor and on demand convection vapor my top picks would be a Splinter V2 plus a box mod, batteries, and cooling stem. The Musa would also be a strong choice for on demand convection on a budget.
Neither the Splinter nor the Musa are a beginner vape so if you're just starting out get a Fury 2 or Fury Edge and add some kind of cooling stem for home use and only use the black plastic mouthpiece for vaping out.
Fuck the Pax too. More modern designs like the Fury are better for flavor, efficiency, cleaning, and versatility.
