Just want something that doesn’t completely suck and I can be out and about and people won’t know if I’m walking by within reason.
I have had a pax3(and a IQ2), I was originally going to reply to your question on the pax thread, but others quickly said what I would’ve.
But now that the question is more open, I will offer what wisdom I can.
My opinion is that conduction/session style devices are like ‘smell-smoke grenades’, when they are on, they produce enough smell to be noticed even if you aren’t taking a hit- like if you are walking by someone, they will likely be able smell it.
Convection/On-demand devices however, only produce smell in the vapor that you exhale from your hits (
for the most part). When you are not taking a hit, there are no new smells being created, and people walking by will not smell anything.
(
Or will not smell anything actively being vaporized, as they would with a session vape. You will have it lightly on your breath regardless, and the smell will never be zero. but convection is the closest to what you are asking for)
Now that that is established. Here enters this fantastic bit of advice from Shit Snacks; The Tiny Might.
on demand pure convection with a full temperature dial, easy to control the smell and the high with great flavor.
I get what you said when, ‘it’s too nice’ to be your portable, but- Why not? It’s completely capable of daily use & abuse, and you deserve it
The Tiny Might is possibly the closest to what you are asking for, and an infinitely better experience than a pax or a iq2. (If you prefer the easier to inhale vapes, and don’t want to implode a lung while taking a hit) (you could technically also go for a firefly, it’s slightly smaller/thinner, but the tinymight blows it away in almost every way, while also being more durable, and is the same price)
Put on top of that the the pax (and iq2 to a lesser extent) require more complicated cleaning than the TinyMight and the only reason to go with anything else would be because you don’t mind sacrificing quality of experience, ease of use, and stealth, for a, barely smaller form factor. (Admittedly the TM is bigger than pax, but it’s not, in my opinion, worth Any of the Numerous sacrifices)
That ALL being said, you gotta do what’s ‘best’ for you- is best having the best vapor quality and being able to take stealthy hits here and there?
Or is best having that extra couple inches of pocket space and not being as stealthy or having to find places to have mini sessions?
It’s all subjective, but I think you would enjoy the TM a lot, maybe even enough for it to be your daily driver, and not just a backup portable.
Anyways that’s my lengthy two cents
Cheers and good luck! (And by good luck I mean- enjoy your TinyMight, your only regret will have been not buying one sooner*
) -(if all that didn’t convince you-*I can promise you would not, be able to think/say the same about a pax or IQ2!)
