ok first time poster but a long time reader.
CumbustionJunction, JDSupreme or anyone who has both.
ok looking to purchase my first vape. ive read MANY a post here.
my friend has a extreme q ,newest model, with the remote.works nice.
Now i was leaning toward the MFLB once i saw they have a power adapter and i can use it on the go. i also have been reading up on the Purple Days seems i can take it with me too. and the Lotus too.
which one would you recommend for a first time?
portability? and durability?
and does either give a wood taste?
which would you say gets bigger rips off of?
just looking for your honest input since both of you guys have them in your sig. thanks.
All of the vaporizers you are considering are well-regarded and you can't really go wrong. In some ways a log vape like PD is close to ideal because learning to use it is simple. No adjustments, just find the right draw speed and you got it. With the PA, the lift box is pretty similar for learning purposes. Lift box w/batteries takes slightly longer to get the knack of the draw, IMO. On the other hand LB is more versatile and portable.
One thing which I like about the log vapes is the aesthetics of the utensils and the process of use. If you see these things as a continuum from art/craft refinements that were done with tobacco - fine carved burl pipes, humidors, tobacco pouches (in Japan the pouch could be attached to one's costume with a lovely
objet d'art called a netsuke) - then there is much to be said for a log vape. Neat and clean. That works for me most of the time.
Other times I feel more passionate and the Lift Box w/PA allows more of a get wild scenario, aesthetics be damned...
I wouldn't be without either style.
edit: that sounded like I am slamming the aesthetics of the LB, which actually I like. It's a beautiful little wood box. Amazing, really. Comparatively speaking, though, the log scenario has a certain understated appeal...
