Soooooo.... After rigorous tests this weekend (friends came by with PAX and INH in hand)...
there was a clear winner...

All three contenders were tried indoors, outdoors, through bubbler, through vapor lung and straight from the mouthpieces! The PAX left me with mixed feelings due to the taste spoiling fast, much smaller clouds than the other two and harder loading and unloading of the herbs. It was the most discreet of course and the coolest to hold in your hands! Not impressed overall...
The Solo was amazing as always but not so good for the road as expected. The Inhalater while it gave me a bad first taste as it wasn't ever properly cleaned, it came back roaring after the cleansing and would give me bigger clouds than the Solo, of better taste and it was just a joy to handle overall. Bigger clouds and taste were solely due to the bigger load. The extraction was on par with the Solo if not better... The more you sucked after the taste was pop-corny the darker it got. Just like the Solo.
So, the INH is a better Solo in my book and yes, I ordered it moments ago although the XP is almost ready to hit the shelves... Never mind that, the INH is already an amazing device that fulfils most of my vapor needs and when I hopefully get the XP the older one will serve as a back up or as a trial device for wannabe vaporist friends!
Can't wait to peel it's silver wrap!
Party! Scatter!
