Great post! Thanks!

I'm really not up on portables. Just thought it looked like it could be pretty useful here. If not, unsticky it and trash it.
Curious though. Do the newer versions of the Palm and Vaporblunt have different specs than what is stated in the charts?

To the mods..........if this chart is inaccurate and incomplete, which it looks like it is, I suggest that you just delete it. The LAST thing I want to do is to post up inaccurate and incomplete information, especially considering how often I get on others for doing the exact same thing.

Hey, first post here! I actually made this chart and help run the related website. Thought I'd sign up to address some of issues and hopefully gain some insight into how I can improve future charts.
First of all, I made this chart a good few months back. I know it's out of date, I know the DaVinci weight is considerably off. I know there are a couple of other inaccuracies such as auto shut off for the mflb, which now effectively does have that feature. I know some of the price points have since changed. I know there are a couple of vapes that should be on there that aren't, and there are one or two on there that maybe shouldn't be.
These issues exist due to either honest mistakes on my part, or simply because of the age of the chart. I knew that it would be out dated soon after making it but I still felt it worthwhile. Originally, the idea was to just have a straight-up size comparison but I got carried away!
The chart linked by OP is out of date. I have since rectified the weight issue with DaVinci and VaporBlunt (see below). I haven't bothered updating all of the outdated info as what I've decided to do is simply create a whole new, updated chart with additional vapes, sometime in the next month or two. The weights were just outright wrong though so I felt they should be addressed. I also think it would be a good idea to put the date of creation on future charts so people know that it could now be out of date.
I'd like to apologize to the manufacturers or anyone else that might have been upset by a couple of the inaccuracies. The intention was always honest and to simply help out those who have a hard time choosing a portable vaporizer. I had never seen a chart like this before so I thought it would be worthwhile to make one.
Now, on to the future...
It is my intention to create an updated version of this chart perhaps every six months or so. I really enjoy making them and hopefully people find them helpful. So, I'd really appreciate any suggestions on how I can improve on it and make it more comprehensive.
I notice a few suggestions have been made already which I think would make great additions to the chart: (Convection or Conduction, Load Size, Run Time, thanks Head Tools!) What other sections do people think would be useful to list?
My next question is, if I were to create a new chart to be released in February sometime, what (portable) vaporizers should it include?
One last question, how do you feel the chart could be improved design wise? Obviously this is the very first one so it was a learning curve and I already have a few ideas on how to improve visibility for the next one but I'd like to hear your thoughts too.
These charts are quite time consuming to build so I want to get it right next time and make it as good as it can be. I'm also looking into topics for other vaporizer-related infographics to create in the coming months as I personally feel if they are done well they can be very useful.
Thanks and I really look forward to hearing your suggestions. Here's a link to the updated chart that fixed the weight issue.

One last thing I forgot to mention. Warm up times I found hard to present accurately because they vary depending on temperature setting. Perhaps a better way to do it would be to have the bar extend right the way up to the time it would take to heat up at the highest temperature, and then mark on the bar with a different color to show how long it takes at the lowest temperature.
Or maybe it'd be best to present it in an entirely different format, not quite sure yet but certainly open to suggestions!

Ok here comes some silliness:
Puffit looks like an inhaler
Wispr looks like a coach bag
Atmos raw looks like a nose hair trimmer
Iolite looks like an old Nextel cell phone
Vaporblunt looks like a giant crayon lol

Thanks for the kind words. I don't mind you sharing at all, it was made to be shared! I would have appreciated it if you could have posted it in it's original form instead of chopped up and resized though tbh. Unless you found it like that somewhere else initially? Anyway, glad that you found it useful regardless of the format.
I was always a bit worried about just posting it myself on FC in case it looked too self-promotiony or if people didn't like it but I'm glad the response has been positive, or at the very least, constructive.
Still very eager to hear some suggestions for improving the next version.
