PLENTY Vaporizer

[Curiousone]

Umm...........LOTS of awesome vapes with threads that are VERY long and active.

Jeez...it was a joke....sorry I forgot to put 'lol'. I forgot how sensitive some folks are about the Plenty and Pax being called awesome vapes.
But really, what else is there to discuss about this vape? Some units lend themselves to constant chatter. This isn't one of them. Call it what you want...

Yes. I think many other vapes' threads have a lot of tips regarding technique, and learning curve. This vape requires no special technique. It has no learning curve. You can simply load as much or as little into the bowl as you'd like, heat it to whatever temp you are comfortable with, and take as long and slow or as short and fast a pull as you fancy, it really doesn't matter. The Plenty performs the same, every single time.

So here is what I ended up doing...

• Bought a plain glass bong (18mm down stem)
• Put a small rubber o-ring around the black Plenty piece (pictured)

I wasn't crazy about the idea of the Hydratube as I wanted to have less restrictive airflow than what I am used to with perculator-style bongs. I was most interested in having a chamber to fill vapor with and although it doesn't look like I'm getting anything when inhaling, the vapor is visible when I exhale and it's intense. I'm very pleased!

awesome !! was trying to think of a way to use the plenty with a bong for extra moisture..so just an 18 mm with an O-ring around plenty piece .. happy vaping !!!!

 

[Curiousone]

Used the plenty to celebrate 4/20...So funny how anti-vaporists have to bow down to the Plenty and give it its much deserved respect!

 

[TboneToker]

I am not sure if I understand correctly. But are people saying that the plenty doesn't deserve it's own thread?

so true ..for me it is as simple and effective as can be...and the quality of the draws is consistent every time..even at the end,,last few draws the taste is super ..

 

[Curiousone]

Not at all, As prophet and dirtybongwater said, it's so simple and effective that there isn't much to discuss within a thread. Some units have an inherit learning curve, which can be easier to get through if you are provided tips and techniques tricks. Also, some vapes have accessories and add-ons. This leads to lengthy thread discussions (like the solo). this one is so straight forward that there is little else to chat about in the thread once a person buys it...This is my fav part about this vape. You just use it, there is nothing else to it. I appreciate that as well as all my friends who have used it.

 

[FlyingLow]

I agree with the other guys (Curiousone, Prophet Bongwater), there is little to explore- this is simply a rock solid performer.

There are no failures discuss.
There are no mods to make to improve the performance.
There are no accessories to speak of.

It just leaves little for discussion, unless you make some adapters to use with water pipes.

In fact, the most useful piece of advice I took from this thread, was to use the brush as a kickstand...



Just to add some color though, I have started using the Plenty with water. No trick setups, just remove the mouthpiece (leaving rubber) and insert into a 14mm stem. It did not seem clouds were as thick, but cooling was incredible. Mild diffusion did remove a little flavor, but worth it for the ease on my throat. I find it can get irritated when on the highest setting, and water is a game changer for me.

I will eventually grab a rubber whip so that I can leave the Plenty on the table; holding the bubbler in one hand with the Plenty in the other is not a comfortable way to go through a session.

 

[spicylambshanks]

Can anyone tell me the inner and outer diameters of the cooling coil and silicone connectors?

 

[j0e]

Hey guys, long time lurker but first time poster here! just wanted to start off by saying this forum is ridiculously helpful if youre looking to get a vape!

okay so I'm interested in getting the plenty but my main concern with it was that I've been hearing that its not as efficient and does use more herb than other vapes. I currently have a solo and I love it but I want a powerful desktop vape now. if any of you guys have used both the solo and the plenty can you comment on how much more herb the plenty uses compared to the solo? Thanks for the help guys!

 

[Un Prophete]

I've never used the solo, but I have a Firefly (which I believe is comparable to the solo in terms of efficiency), and in my experience I use the same amount of herb in the Plenty. You just have to be more cognizant of the amount you're using. Yes it's a bigger bowl, but by no means does it need to be filled completely, and I keep the temp at the 5 setting (out of 7), pretty much exclusively. I've heard the criticism before, but I've been steady loading just .1g (just enough to cover the bottom screen), and that gets me a good 8-10 monster hits, which happens to be 3-4 sessions for me.

Recently donated my Volcano after 10+ year stint. This was my go-to and I loved the reliability and function of it. I have an herbalaire, but not getting too much satisfaction from it. Bought it last year because I saw how people were vapor bonging with them, tried it and it was cool, but still wispy and left me desiring more.

Had my eye on the Herbalizer, but that price tag makes the purchase more of a long time goal but really considering the Plenty. Decisions decisions....

 

[Curiousone]

I'll say this...

A good friend of mine introduced me to the Volcano when it was very new to the scene. He and the Volcano changed my mind about vaping. just yesterday he admitted that he wants to sell his Volcano and get a plenty. He agrees with me that it is very similar, but better if you're not a fan of bags. It will give you the same feeling or very similar to the volcano. he plans to sell his volcano soon and get one...that should give you some idea of its performance

 

[Paperback Writer]

Thanks @Curiousone, very good description and comparison, exactly what I was trying to equate in my mind. I am trying to go away from bags and something more direct, like the Plenty.

@dopefiend - Awesome podcast, listened to it yesterday on my way home and was craving curry the whole evening! Great job i was thoroughly engaged and very informative

 

[FlyingLow]

Are any of you all using Hydrotubes with your Plenty?

I have been using the Plenty inverted with the whip going into a water device, but it does not seem to rip as strong when upside-down (perhaps because of my lighter than average loaded carts) so I thought a Hydrotube might be a good option.

 

[ozzietoker]

Hi guys. Newbie here. Have decided to switch to vaping after years of smoking (mainly bongs) and after a fair bit of research (on this site and many others) I have to say I'm overwhelmed with info and need some advice!

Only ever tried Magic Flight Box and really need a higher quality desktop to transition from smoking.
So far I think a whip rather than a bag would suit, and have narrowed selection down to the Plenty and Silver Surfer. (Although it seems Extreme Q and Solo get great reviews too)

It seems most are raving about strength of vapor which sounds great. But there are a few things like the size of the chamber and people's mixed views on whether u need to use 0.5 to make it work or u can use less.

Also users coughing (which I don't want if I'm not smoking anymore) and the wand heating too much.

Can anyone outline why the Plenty may be better then the SSV (or others)? I've looked and can't find any direct comparisons on here
Cheers guys!

I did not learn about this website, and all the info on other vapes, until after I had already had the Plenty one year.

BUT my position was very similar to yours, except I was also a HEAVY cig smoker... Independent of any reviews or community support, the Plenty was the sole reason I was able to give up cigs and combusting herb. I had tried soooo many times- but other vapes I had tried were not effective like the Plenty was for me (YMMV). Admittedly I had not tried many vapes at the time.

For me, clouds and heavy/high vapor quality was essential to making the jump. I had tried every quit-smoking device on the market and this was the only device I had tried (at that time) that gave me the same sensation as smoking and inhaling smoke- finally I found something to give me my fix!

With regards to weight, I typically never pack more than .2 at a time and use a liquid pad. It is a perfect combo for a solo vape session. Sure you can pack a fraction of that in some other vapes (see Lotus, or Hammer), but I do find myself packing and repacking those like 3-5 times each... and in the end, likely the equivalent or more than I would have packed into a Plenty cartridge.

If you still want to vape through water, the whip attachment easily connects by removing the mouthpiece and turning the unit upside-down.

Welcome to FC ozzie!

Thanx 4 the quick reply! This device seems alot easier to use and no glass bits to break than the SSV.

I've heard it's harder to control a range of temperatures though. And is it smoother (not harsh on throat) due to cooling ? If so why are people coghing on some vids and reviews I've watched/read?

The large chamber shouldnt be a problem if those pads work - which is important as I will usually be vaping alone and want to minimise the herb I need to use.

 

[FlyingLow]

Great concerns, as no one else has yet responded I will give my opinions- other persons might feel differently and I do encourage their comments following this post

You noted not having glass bits. I used to be one of those "glass-pathway-only" snobs; little did I understand how little this actually affected my tastes while vaping (again, your mileage my vary). The Plenty threw all my preconceived notions out the window. Thankfully too, cause I went on to find other non-glass vapes like the Lotus.

The plastic bits, with metal screens and bowls- I was immediately skeptical. But I hung on my experiences with the Volcano and went with instinct... Flavor country is just a cart away.

First, one must understand this vape was designed and fabricated to withstand the abuse of the most demanding and hapless herb enthusiast. It was designed for the coffee houses, meant to be able to handle drops and other horrific abuses. No glass for breaking, but huge rips and flavor to be had.

Next, it IS efficient, in spite of being able to use a lot of material at once. Sure, if you do not use the pads, it does work best with a heavy packed, finely ground cart. However, the Plenty provides a super long session that can go one for over 10-15 minutes of hard hitting that will absolutely get you blitzed.



In regards to your comments about controlling temps, I describe it to friends as a dance that you cannot fuck up! There is no over-burn, or combustion, under any circumstances. You control how hot it gets, but a simple inhale through the whip can easily cool the temps if you find it too hot/irritating. An easy pull of the handle reengages the heater and heats it up when temps getting too low.

I will tell you, I also cough when hitting the Plenty... It just rips so hard, and sometimes hot, that it does often give me the sensation of actually smoking- all without any combustion. Also, having a non-transparent vapor path, I feel many users (and this is merely a hypothetical observation) have no fucking idea how much vapor they are taking in and pull out lung busters till they are in a coughing fit!

Thanks again @FlyingLow.

Playing devils advocate - it seems the SSV offers more versatility in hooking up waterfilters/bongs/icechambers AND when it comes to having a wider range of "hits". Whereas the Plenty seems to be "all or nothing".
Also u can stop vaping and come back if needed as u take the herb away from the heat straight away.

Does anyone use/have tried BOTH the Plenty AND SSV and if so can u compare the 2 (pros+cons etc)

Like I mentioned on the SSV thread can I get attatchments/parts here in Aus easily as that will influence my choice as well. (I looked on Australianvaporizers.com but unsure what parts are what and if there are some that aren't avail. here)

Thanks again I'm all very new to the vaping caper!

 

[FlyingLow]

While many do use their Plenty vapes with a variety of water pieces, and you do not want to use an adapter/whip, then you might look at the other vapes. Also, I certainly do not recommend stopping a session with the Plenty... $0.02

 

[Curiousone]

Ozzie, I was very much hung up on the SSV and the Plenty as well.

I'd first tried the Volcano when it was very new. It was the only vape that really worked for me. I later bought a Vapir No2. Got rid of it for a Solo. I loved my Solo because of how efficient it was, but I soon found myself tired of loading so many stems. My new Pax was great for on the go, but I wanted a heavy hitter with larger capacity.

SSV looked promising, but I really don't like glass because I'm clumsy. I don't like long whips because it looks weird to me and its cumbersome. That basically left the Plenty. I have no plans of using a water path, so I didn't have to think about that. SSV does seem to be more versatile in this area, but there are fairly easy solutions with the Plenty.

The Plenty makes all my friend cough. All of us are far from light weights, but this thing just hits that hard. Like flyinglo said, it's also difficult to know how much you're taking in...until its too late! The vapor is ridiculously cool and smooth so that adds to the "not knowing how much you're taking in" part. You get used to it and can then minimize choking

This unit has convinced so many people who weren' t very open to vaping, that it is the superior way to partake. It will make the transition happen. I can only say that it is a much simpler unit to deal with imo compared to the SSV. Super easy to use and temp. control is not an issue! There are some benefits to the SSV over the Plenty, but I can't speak on them as the Plenty satisfies my needs perfectly.

I agree with FLinglo in general as he summed up many of my personal feelings so I won't go on...

 

[ozzietoker]

Cheers @Curiousone! So u can hook the Plenty up to a water filter/bong? Are the parts available over here?

I guess the coughing thing is what's putting me off - I mean it's partly why I'm not smoking! Sure u "cough to get off" or whatever but it isn't what I'm after. I do have a high tolerance though and the Plenty seems good for that!

Other than that however I'm really interested in the Plenty. Unfortunately I've read about the Vapexhale Cloud and that is now also a contender. Can't find the "EVO" here in Aus - only the normal Cloud.

How would u compare that 1 with the SSV and Plenty

Really appreciate your input guys.

 

[Curiousone]

As for coughing with the Plenty...all you have to do is turn the temp. down. Above level 6 is where we get into coughing territory. Under that and it's pretty easy to avoid.

The Cloud is definitely a contender...some would say better. Depends on your needs. If water filtering is high on your list...hard to argue with the Cloud. The Evo is def considered better than the OG, but I understand availability issues. The SSV is easy to connect, but most would suggest the LSV if filtration is important and you want to stick with 7th There are options available for hooking up the Plenty to a water filtration device...most would suggest tubing. I don't know the sizes. Someone with first-hand experience can chime in. I do remember seeing some suggestions within the thread though.

Hard choice as they are all good at what they do...ultimately, narrow down by considering which features are most important to YOU. That will make the choice easier. They each have pros and cons.

Yes it is a hard choice! Now I'm looking at the LSV as well!
Can u just flip the Plenty and plug it into a 14mm stem to use through a bong?
Yes water filtering is fairly high on my list - I feel it would make vapor smoother on my throat and feel like I'm still having a bong without the actual smoke! - which would make transition easier.
If the Cloud EVO was available here then maybe it would be the best BUT - only the Cloud PLUS is here - and there are soo many "buyer beware" stories on alot of sites they seem to break down alot and customer service is questionable.
Basically I want a Vape that goes through a waterfilter/bong and even though SSV does this I would have to order the attachments from overseas.
Does the Plenty require attachments for this or like I asked above can u just invert it?
Does the LSV go through a bong easily or are there again attachments required?
Sorry for all the questions I'm appreciative of your help and just trying to make a choice!
