Vulcano Easy Valve or Arizer Solo

[ButterMan]

@max just to clarify I'm using my vapes for medicating not for recreation. I'm looking for a vape that is made in the USA because it makes me more comfortable and ultimately makes my experience whilst medicating more relaxing and less stressful. If you are telling me that I cannot talk about this maybe this will help your perspective.

Inhaling is ingesting at least to me. So if given the choice between an apple that was grown in china and an apple that was grown in the USA I'm eating the apple that was grown in the USA every-time. Maybe the apple from china is good but it doesn't give me the same confidence as the apple grown in the US.

Having a good frame of mind when medicating is extremely important to me and I feel helps me achieve the best results so I'm hoping I will still be "allowed" to talk about this subject without fear of persecution.
Thanks!

Made in USA doesn't necessarily determine quality. Modern Chevy's and Ford's are some of the least reliable cars a person can buy. I'll take my Japanese manufactured Subaru any day.

EDIT* Also, many countries ban the import of US grown food because of fears of pesticides, growth hormones, GMO's, etc.. Just because something makes us feel better, doesn't make it better.

@Gonzo for me feeling better is what medicating is all about


I'd buy a Japanese car over a Chinese car - because it would give me peace of mind and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Everybody's different and everyone's opinions are valid in my book.

 

[Gonzo]

I totally agree about everybody's opinions being valid. This is something I say here quite regularly.

I was commenting more to your point that made in USA means better. A lot of people new to vaporizers come here and can easily be scared off by reading that Chinese made vaporizers are unsafe or hazardous.

I also personally don't know of any vaporizers where every component is sourced or manufactured completely in the US (If someone does please correct me here. TET may have bee the closest thing before they shut down).

This has been an untrue stereotype for a good number of years. The truth is that US brand automobiles have had equal quality to imports since the early to mid 2000s. Sadly, having dropped the ball in the 70s, 80s and 90s, US manufacturers need to do a lot to convince the general public of this since a majority of said general public won't bother to look at the actual stats.

"The conventional wisdom is, if you want a safe, reliable car, you buy from a Japanese car maker. According to the latest Consumer Reports reliability ratings, conventional wisdom isn't as smart as it used to be."

Also, most Subarus sold in N. America are made in N. America (and more specifically, the ones sold in the US are made in the US)...

"The United States is one of the world's largest automobile consumers, so almost all Subaru models are manufactured there, including the Subaru Impreza, the Subaru Impreza WRX, the Subaru Legacy, the Subaru Outback, the Subaru Forester and the Subaru Tribeca. This means that these models are in plentiful supply in the United States, which, combined with the minimal shipping costs, gives residents of the United States the cheapest deals on these new Subaru models."

That being said, regardless of which country a manufacturer hails from, the parts their cars are made from (before assembly into a final product) come from literally dozens of different countries.

Do you guys think a US "assembled" vape will be any different?

Just saying.

You can never go wrong starting out with a Solo. I agree with others that the Volcano is no longer anywhere near the top of the heap.

I have to disagree. I definitely went wrong by getting the solo.

This is a good point, I meant to say my Japanese designed Subaru. I still stand by made in USA doesn't necessarily mean better. As Max said, it's not where it is made, it's who makes it.

I apologize for sending the thread off course with the car analogy.

Hi, could you elaborate more on how the solo was wrong for you?

thanks

To much draw resistance, flavor degrades to fast, batteries degrade to fast, stems are loose even with oring, Hits are not big enough, and it wasnt efficient enough. There really isnt much I can say that I liked about mine.

Thank you, did you have an earlier one or a later improved one?

Had one of both actually.
