.... could you break down exactly what is good and bad about each of the 3?
In my opinion the differences are the following.
(remembering that one feature of this type of vape is that you stir the herb in your wand between pulls)
-A spherical connection and wand provide a great seal, and give you the versatility of the hand held setup.
The Hot air outlet is wide, so you can get a heavy air flow. but many people prefer some restriction. The wand holds a good amount, but only has about half the capacity of a hand held standard wand.
- Hands free uses GonG connections, and like the spherical wand, this wand has the same capacity. It "locks" into place into your HC, and you use it with one hand on the mouthpiece so you have a hand free while you do a hit!
-Standard HC/Handheld- The HC opening is a bit smaller , and the HC itself is shaped like a nipple, so that when you use the hand held standard wand, the HC sort of fits into the wand instead of visa versa.
The standard hand held wand is flared at the end, so you can aim the heat (which is already in the wand tip.. in any direction you want. The Hand Held wand can hold double the capacity of the other two wands.

Why I use Standard HC with Hand Held Wand
I do not like hands free... people including myself may pull on the tube inadvertently. If not cautious I could bump and break the suspended glass wand.. Another person may not have this concern. I also stir my wand's contents between each pull, (around, and up.. to loosen). Hand held allows this without me having to use 2 hands (or twisting)to undo the GonG!
I find hand held to be the most versatile.
Other opinions about ease of use and versatility may vary, but the facts above about function and capacity do not.
