Worst: Firefly: rare good hits, only 20 mins of use per charge!? Combustion?! Hardly works? Best thing i ever did was trade it in for a extreme Q

Best: None yet, Haven't found anything that makes me want to vape flowers yet :(

thank god for shatter, dabs all day!

Best: VapeXhale Cloud: I still use my original ticker unit daily and it has yet to give me a single issue after all these years.
Worst: MFLB: Requires too much fuss and never really got me medicated like I wanted. Taste was pretty disappointing and no matter what technique/grind consistency I used I couldn't get my ABV evenly browned.
 
I know I mentioned Persei/Herc as my best purchase, but I'll throw the 2 volcano units I've used in as though they were mine and say they are the best purchases someone else has ever shared with me.

Just used my buddy's ~15 year old unit that hasn't been cleaned since I cleaned it when we worked together at a dispensary (4-5years ago). no issues, and out of laziness he never replaced the parts that broke -- hilariously, the layers of resin have acted as a binder that holds anything busted together, and there has been no reduction in air flow or anything. The dial is stuck at where the guy at the headshop showed him to put it, and we have had flavorful and milky clouds, every time, for years now. I don't like the little metal piece you have to put over the chamber, because it's just one more thing for nubs like me to fuck up (forgot to put it on 2 separate times, and the unit allows you to put it together without it -- that is a design flaw IMO). Still, 9.5/10 (bag system is great, but my friends and I agree there should be a different option for solo vaping, since I don't need a bag to the dome EVERY time... Like, at work I want to be functional).

Dark vaper
A lauch box 4.5 hours from home that never worked. Mflb on the website, never thought twice till I got home. Not happy times

The best was the stuff to make my own ejuice.

Best - Vriptech 007 kit back in 2001. Changed everything and the only home vaporizer I needed to own for almost a decade.

Worst - shitty lead-painted (i assume, in hindsight) VaporGenie knockoff sold to me as genuine by a head shop in NYC. Couldn't actually pull air through the filter and wasn't about to use it as a pipe so at least it didn't do me any harm besides fiscal.

My first vaporizer was a MFLB and after 12 batteries to keep it working made me almost quit!

The SOLO was more powerful and tasted 100,000 x better!
My first plug in was a vap 2 and it's ugly however I still use it and the flavor is awesome
the LSV put me in a coma.
the vrip was awesome for flavor However too much work with my medical condition!
The NANO is so tiny and Easy to operate!
The Firefly is tasty however the SOLO is way cheaper!
The LOTUS is like à joint and gets me totally medicated!
I plan to buy more vaporizers.
I have so much glass my medication area is like à smoke shop!
Whatever fits your needs?
My Herb Iron is the best however it's tricky!

To each their own, but I cringed a bit, my Firefly may be the best!

It's the vape that got me back into vaping. The BEST taste, and such a killer high. I always get so ripped off the Firefly.

Though, I went through a period of time with the old 750 Battery, where it was dying often, that I started hating it. Even after a month or two, just got stale vaping the same way all the time, and putting it on the charger. Was not very portable.

Recently started using it again though with the new battery, and hitting it using a new technique that was essentially what I did, but preheating for 4 light pulses, then 2 more, then hitting. Wrecks me, tastes amazing, lung busters. Battery lasts most of the day.

I like all my vapes though. Hate certain things about them? I'm not sure.

- MFLB - Best purchase as a new vaping upstart college kid who needs discretion. Worst for convenience because when I used mine, didn't have PA's available and carrying around batteries when I would lose the caps was awful.

-Firefly- Best taste, worst battery life later when I had mine, but now it's remedied.

-Underdog- The janky battery life made me get an Underdog, where it had the best extraction, but the worst heat up time and portability factor. Got a VVPS....heats up in 5 minutes now :clap:

-Lotus- BEST BONG RIPS!!! It's the worst at charring my buds though, I risk combustion every time I use it because I use it to rip....I can take lighter heat hits and the problem is remedied, this is more my issue. Still, taking lighter hits, I find it hard not to push the bowl one more hit to REALLY vape it and end up charring some.

The charring is borderline nitpicking, not like the whole bowl is black, just a few spots here and there.

-PAX- Best at stealth vaping. I use it while walking my parents dog, or really any time I have to go to my rent's and want to vape at some point. Load a trench, take it and go. It's the worst at conserving weed, worst with smell, worst with cleaning. Out of all my vapes, I regret it the most, and am currently thinking about selling it...that being said, I still enjoy it and it has its place, although it's getting limited.

- Vapman- Best true portable I have, not tied to batteries or anything (I only have Lotus WPA). Love the form factor, feel so cool using it. Also better conduction vape in terms of taste compared to my PAX and is much better at extracting. Can get very high off a very little amount. I have only had it a week or two, I literally cannot think of anything wrong with it or that I dislike. I guess the bowl is pretty small, but I still get high off it...

Eh, guess now that I got it on papert, the Vapman is my overall best :bowdown:though I had been serenading it this evening so I could be biased. PAX is most definitely the worst. Basically, everything has a con, but most of them can be fixed.

I didn't count the Chinese Vapor Bro's Vape I had for 2-3 months first semester of college, but that was undoubtedly the worst vape I've used, it was only like 40 bucks though and I didn't know anything...

Worst vaporgenie and flowermate
If those are your worst then I'd say you've never had a bad one. The Genie is still a decent option for flame powered vaping, and the Flowermate is simple to use and clean, and offers great battery performance.

I'd have to list my EVO as most satisfying big hitter and e-nano as most versatile (my go-to vapes at home), while the worst would easily be the BC Vaporizer-the original 'gumball machine vaporizer' and my nominee for the worst conduction vape.
