Portable vape questions

Okay, I know you guys have seen this question a million times but I could really use some advise on what to purchase. I'm looking for a new vape, one that is small and stealthy. I've watched probably 100 YouTube videos and read too many reviews to count regarding the best portables. However, I'm still having issues selecting the one for me. For the me the most important things would be nice clouds, stealthy and conserve on flower. The units that I have done the most research on are the Flowermate V5.0s, Pax, Firefly and Air.

I currently own an MFLB and Solo, with the Solo being my favorite choice by far. In fact, I havent even used my MFLB since purchasing the Solo a year ago. The perfect portable for me would be a Pax that hits like a Solo.

Again, sorry for asking a question that you guys see probably 20 times per week. Budget is $250.

Welcome! You've done quite a bit of research!

I think you're off to a good start. However aside from small and stealthy, what else is important to you? How stealthy do you need? The Pax is nice and stealth, but it requires religious cleaning to ensure it stays working, and I never cared for the taste. $250 is a fair budget for what you're looking for.

Don't know what's the best option for you, but here's a few other vapes you might want to also review - Indica, Imag+, Pinnacle Pro

(FYI, for me personally, the Indica is my current "stealth" vape - doesn't hit like the Solo, but I'm happy with it's performance)

You love your Solo, so you would love the performance of the Air. I also think that the Air is stealthier than the Pax and Firefly. If people were going to see me holding something to my mouth and than see "smoke" coming out I would rather it look like an ecig than some other strange object.

I wouldn't call it stealthy if people see anything coming out of your mouth, but that's just me. I'd say stealth means no one sees you put anything but your hand to your mouth, nothing comes out of your mouth, and there's no smell. That last point eliminates any constant-heat device like the Air, because they all need time to heat up and they all smell while doing it.

The only two devices that have been mentioned that are heat-on-demand are the MFLB (which he owns) and the Firefly. These offer the highest stealth value.

The Elevape also fits into this category in regards to heat-on-demand, eh.

I agree completely with the points I raise, paka. Stealth has different priorities in different contexts though. I was thinking more of he scenario where you can be seen but not smelled.

Thermovape T1 is also heat on demand and looks like an ecig. I have used it in public without anyone batting an eyelid. Long draws and stirring are a bit of a red flag though.

Lotus is great in the stealth category of "duck away somewhere private and get the job done quickly."
