Hey guys,
Relatively new to butane vapes and have heard a lot of good things about the SB Jr.
I currently own a Dynavap Vapcap M that I use on the go and a Lotus WPA that essentially stays in a beaker tube for home use. My question is: Is there any real reason to drop the money on the SB Jr. given that I already have these two vapes? Aside from the novelty of having another wooden vape in my collection, am I really missing anything?
I also own the Dynavape Vapcap "M", as well as the SbJr. I would personally say that the two are both excellent pieces of kit... with many strengths and weaknesses associated with both designs.
The Vapcap "M" is definitely more concealable and portable. If this is of primary concern to you, the Sticky Brick Jr. just plain falls short. However...
The Sticky Brick Jr. can give HUGE clouds of wonderful vape gravy... if used right. It is far easier to accidentally combust with the SBJr., which is a downside... but overall, I prefer the hits I get from the Brick over the hits from the "M". The bowl is larger and easier to stir and load on the Brick, and the Brick just plain gives an aesthetic and kinesthetic satisfaction and pride of ownership that the Vapcap "M" doesn't match.
Other factors... the Sticky Brick Jr. is FAR easier to draw through, while the Vapcap "M" is like pulling a hit through a 15 foot straw... definitely requires stronger cheak/lung/lip action to get properly vaped.
Probably the biggest difference, though, is that the Vapcap "M" can be "powered" from just about any heat source, while the SBJr. is limited to a butane torch type lighter.
Overall, if I could only have one, the Brick would be my choice... but this is based on my own usage and preferences, which might not match your own.
Hope this helps in your VAS encumbered decision!
