I have to disagree here because the Cloud does not medicate me as well as the Sublimator does. Even with equivalently colored ABV, I find the Sublimator more completely helps my pain and discomfort. So maybe it's better at extracting the high end CBD? That'd be my guess from experience.
Not so much disagreeing on this one as mentioning one of the "subtle" differences ... the Sublimator does
excel at extracting the high temp actives (this is my experience as well), but I find I can achieve this effect with the Cloud and MiniVAP as well, but it's not quite as smooth (I think Tweek is right on the money there
). Each device has its strong points that will make it stand ahead of the others for various people and various reasons ... I find a place for all 3 depending on my moods/needs. I find the Cloud and MiniVAP to be unbelievably smooth dry through a bubbler/hydratube as well as the Sublimator, but they are much harsher with a straight tube. The diffusion works even without water and adds significantly to the cooling.
The Sublimator is by far the most dangerous device and the MiniVAP is by far the safest (as well as portable/battery operated), so depending on your needs that might be a factor. For someone with a dedicated setup, I find the MiniVAP to be the most time consuming one to use though as it takes 4 minutes or so to get to temperature whereas with the Cloud or the Sublimator I can use my WeMo to turn them on or leave them on for extended periods of time so it's very quick to walk in to the shop, vape, clean, walk out.
Edit:
jcat...how many times have you used your Sub?
I've used my Sublimator from about 10:30am on Friday until bed. (so about 14-15 hours of use? Probably about 1.5-2g or so + some concentrates)
Used the Sublimator a few times Saturday morning then was at the cottage with the MiniVAP for Saturday until Sunday afternoon. Used the Sublimator exclusively since yesterday around 3 so probably went through another 1-2g.
Why?
