Can anyone sway me to this vape? I am concerned about not being able to use ground product which I prefer to do. It seems more efficient to me to do this. Secondly, I don't know if I like the 5 minute warmup.
Nothing in that post points to someone who wants this vape, since it uses unground bud and mine works best after 15 minutes of warmup. I would not recommend this vape to someone who's first priority was fast heat up time. You can probably leave it on a long time, but even then I like to wait around two minutes after inserting the stem for it to warm up.
Instead, I would challenge your perception of ground bud being more efficient to use. I always felt this way since more surface area = more vapor. But after using the VAP2, I'm convinced that we are beating up our weed when we grind it and knocking good stuff off. That's why we have kief and sifters and shit. I think putting in a mostly unmolested pellet is stronger than the putting in ground up weed. And the extraction is always thorough. I've never crushed a spent pellet and found anything green in the middle.
But make no mistake, this is a session vape. You don't want to hit it once and then take the stem out and hit it later. You will lose some actives in the multiple heat up. You want to finish that pellet in one sitting if you are after efficiency.
This vape is the Ace of Spades for the person wanting the best taste at the best price from an effective vape. That's the guy who will be blown away by this vape.
