What’s the difference between all the DLX? I only see the Pro and the pipe available right now. Worth waiting for a one or should I try the pro?
The Pro is joined by a ring, the M by a magnet (in this case it's a ring and a magnet), and the Ones are a friction fit usually on an 18mm male joint. I don't think you'd be disappointed with a Pro because it's all-around excellent, but there's something about that friction fit and convertible bowl that just feel so handy. To me it feels like the quickest, easiest vape I own. The Pro is probably my next most used (along with the Piro).
What's the key difference between the Piro and the Noisy Cricket, in your experience? Sorry to yank your chain BTW - the Venn of people with both, whose opinions I respect is not huge
The NC has a large bowl, nice even roast, is very easy to use, and has a short profile, which makes it my go-to for smaller glassware since you can keep the intake within your field of vision. Its only downside is shared by all 3 of my OWW torch vapes: torching chars the wood lightly beneath the intake. Functionally speaking, it makes no difference and any resulting flavor lessens after the initial charring, but it's a weird quirk. NOT a reason not to get one (think pure Vapman)!
The Piro is outstanding for smaller water pieces that even the NC is too tall for: the unique orientation of the intake is perfect for too-close torching. I think this alone justifies having one, with the caveat that it's difficult to use on a tall bong that puts the intake too far below your eyes. Their overall function is among the best of any vape I've ever used. Perfect, even roast every time; tiny learning curve, very forgiving, and endlessly adjustable in terms of heating. Because it sits on a joint, the bowl is two-in-one, and the basket screen is great for small-dosing.
You really can''t go wrong with either, though generally the NC would hold more herbs at a time, the Piro perfect for smaller pieces other vapes can't be torched on.
