VaporGenie or Yiendovape

[Stephman]

Hey,
I search a Vaporizer that is unexpensive and portable. First i wanted to buy the magic flight Box but then i decided too look for an even more unexpensive Vaporizer. So i was interested in the VaporGenie because its cheap, seems to do his job an looks really cool . Today i found the Yiendovape and its about the same price and also very good looking but i i was not able to find reviews about the Yiendo. Does anyone have this vaporizer? Which one you would advise? Do the filters stay alive forever or do i have to buy new ones after a few weeks?
Sry for my bad English and thanks to all replys!

Yiendovape review

If you want something cheap and reliable your safest bet right now is the VG coil. I think it can be had for around 20 bucks or so in the US. I'd rather recommend you a Gnome though, for it's butane-free airpath.

Thnaks for your reply!
I read the review about the Yiendovape so i will clearly dont go for this one. Your 2 alternatives also look very intresting but i dont think i will be able to purchase the Ganme because i live in Europe. So i will decide between the normal Genie and the Genie Coil. Is the butan of the lighter dangerous? and can you Explain how the Coil works? i dont really get it by watching some reviews

I don't use one myself so I'm going to have to direct you to the VG thread for all your coil questions.

The Gnome ships to Europe as well, just email mr. Gnome for actual prices.

I would advise you to do a little more research of your own before you decide though. You're the best judge of what will be the most useful to you after all.

If the inhalation of butane is safe or not is still on ongoing discussion I believe. I think it is considered to be safe when complete combustion is achieved, but I think that is harder to accomplish then is generally perceived. I rather not risk it myself, but I also don't really care for the taste of it which makes it an easy even easier choice for me.

I am one person who reacted badly to vapor genie and similar lighter based vapes, no matter the brand. I figure I am a vast minority because I know many people who use those vapes on a daily basis with no issues at all.

I was able to successfully use the gnome because of the lack of inhaled butane, and it was great flavor and a butane free vapor. I'd still have one but eventually decided that no lighter based vape suits my personal portable needs, but the gnome is the cleanest vapor for one by design.

I also want to chime in that the Gnome is a VERY nice budget vape.

IMO it's a bit easier to us than a vapor genie, and produces very nice, satisfying vapor.

I had my Gnome shipped to Australia with no problems (and it was cheap too, only $6 for the shipping here).

+1 for the gn0me and mine was shipped to the UK.

Though I wouldn't rule out the VG Coil. It is very robust and, as vapes go, pretty much indestructible. It does have a learning curve, but so do all vapes, and once you have the technique down it's a non-issue.

If it's pure taste your after then the gn0me wins hands down =, but you may prefer the hardy nature of the Coil if that suits your needs more

IMO the vapor genie has a really steep learning curve, and you don't get nearly as much out of the herb as with the Solo or any other reliable electric unit. That doesn't mean it won't work, you just have to be really good at it if you want any semblance of efficiency.

The Arizer Solo is the vape I use. The problem with the stems is in my experience way overstated, the glass warps slightly from the heating and cooling I think, but it's never really given me a problem. As for the warranty I'm about to ship mine back for a replacement due to the fact that the ceramic coating on my old unit is chipping. the newer units don't have this, so it's a non-issue.

I think you can get one for $240 at vapornation.com which is where I got mine. the service is great both from Arizer and from vapornation. I really love this vape, the vapor is consistently thick and good tasting. I get loads of hits out of each bat even though they don't hold a very large amount, especially compared to larger vapes. If you can spring for it I would, now I never feel the need for anything else.

Hope your replacement non-ceramic doesn't smell like robofarts.

None of the m106 or m107s I know of have anything a few cycles on 7 burn in hasn't cured.
So long as its one of those I doubt there will be a problem.

According to Arizer the model number doesn't make any difference.

So either they are lying or your advice is bullshit. Don't be offended though, I trust you a hell of a lot more than them haha.

 

[Frederick McGuire]

I know its a whole bunch of semantics, but I thought arizers official stance is that the model numbers don't directly mean anything, its just the batch number or something. Like, they didn't sit down and say, OK, lets tweak this and call it M102, now tweak that and call it M103.
But the model number seems to be an accurate indicator of how recently the unit has been manufactured, and anything manufactured since they started producing M106s has been fine.

So I'd say my advice is right,
and Arizer aren't lying.

I'm just not covering my business ass with semantics

LOL I just find the need to point out that something we've come to accept as facts (seen any 105+ Ceramics?) is the opposite of what they've said. I trust you 100% and you are probably right, but they have NOT done anything to earn my trust and honestly they have done a few things to lose it. I know the company is not the same as the product, but they really ruined what could have been the best portable IMO. They are just REALLY REALLY shady. Even if you love Arizer you have to admit they have done some shady stuff involving the solo.

You dug up this thread after 8 days of no posts, and proceeded to take it completely off topic-from a search for a vape cheaper than the MFLB, to a discussion of a $200+ vape, with more off topic posts from two other members.

If you can't offer a suggestion that's within the parameters of the OP's request, then don't post. :/
