Welcome to FC!

$50 isn't really a good budget for a vaporizer. Most vapes in that price range will actually combust your herb and will not vaporize. If you really need to stick to a $50 budget, I suggest considering a used vape.

That said, here are two vapes in the $50 price range to consider, both require the use of a butane torch to work (eliminating the complicated electronics means its a cheaper more reliable vaporizer, but means you can accidentally combust if you overheat the herb). - Vaporgenie Classic & the Triihouse Peace.

However, if you can bump up your budget to $75, then I would HIGHLY suggest you buy the Flowermate V5.0s. It's the nicest portable electronic vape I've used in the sub-$100 price range.

I'm happy with my Vaporgenie Classic. I'm a reformed old-school pipe smoker so I took to it immediately. The Solo is easier to learn and I thought a bit more efficient with herb, and they can be had used for about $60 I think with some shopping around, but the lack of need for constant charging and single hit sessions of the Vaporgenie fit me better personally.

Flowermate 5.0 PRO is a bit more expensive but works incredible for the price!

As has been said, 50 bucks will not buy you a quality vape, and what you do get will likely put off bad odor, flavor, or may combust your material.

You can get a Dr. Dabber from Puffitup for $49. It would be for concentrates not for Herb. I have the Dabbler vape pen it cost s little more than that one. @Melting Pot mentioned the Imag, I second that vote, it would be for herb.

Lo and Behold! The transformative power of Vapor.
People are dumping their Pax v1 for v2. Cheapest I liked - Vapium Summit new $150.00 Got my Flowermate V.1 at Puffitup.com at 4/20 sale with grinder at $55.00
Heard great things about Arizer Solo and Air. MFLB ?

I'd spend the 3 figures and go with something from a licensed dealer with a warranty. That way you don't feel foolish if something does fail.:2c:
Puffitup is a good place for the lowest end price range. But yea, go with what you are looking for in a vape as a starting point. Then maybe ask FC where you can get a deal on that.:bowdown:
Got an Arizer Eq for under $150 (from Canada) Having to RMA it sux. But I did get a replacement as one example. Pax RMA 3x. Summit 4x. But no real problems with either since. :peace:

Did see the Triihouse Peace pipe at $49.00

Not much to add to what has already been said... I'd recommend the Dynavap Vapcap, any model from the RBT/Zion range or the FlowerMate V5.S.

The FlowerMate V5.Pro would be way over your budget (but a great vape nonetheless) and I haven't tested the iMag but I think it's like the 3 "pen" vapes I got: harsh because of the uber short vapor path and poor battery life due to having a single cell. That being said many FC members said they prefered the iMag over the FlowerMate, so it must be good too.

Then there are the other flame powered vapes that a lot of FC members love too...

Imost definitely prefer the imag over the flowermate. I have a mini v5.0s and ceramic imag, and the imag performs much better. I'm selling the mini

performs better in what way? Taste? Vapor density? Battery life? I'm curious to know since my (non mini) V5.0s quite impressed me performance wise for the price

My imags extract more efficiently than my mini. I get more medicated off the same amount in the imag than i would using the mini. Definitely better vapor density, yes. Taste seems a bit better maybe, but its been a while since I've used the mini so I'm not sure on that one. The imag chamber is smaller, and more slender, which is a plus imo

I love the form factor of the mini tho..how it can be used as a power bank, how the mouthpiece stores away, and the much more pocketable shape.

Agreed. For a little more the Imag is also a better choice than the T-Vape 1.0 and a lot more user friendly than the 2.0.

If you don't mind using butane, the peace is about the price you want and is a good and simple to use vape. I prefer it over the flowermate and the Imag+. I'm also waiting for the dynavap which should be out soon but that also requires a lighter or torch.

It's a bit more, but for $67.93 you can get a Basic Vapman at Vapornation with the FC discount code. It also uses a torch, but doesn't have glass parts, so it has more durability than the Peace, is slightly more compact, and it can easily be placed on a glass piece for water filtration.

And for even a little more you can get the lily. One advantage of the peace over the vapman is that after a while the vapman wood will get somewhat charred and that can change the taste. That issue is discussed on the vapman thread. Another is that it doesn't require any coordination. I have yet to use the vapman without burning myself so I rarely use it.

Just to add to that. The middle piece, which is the part that could get charred, is replaceable though. I've had mine for a good amount of time, and the charring hasn't been an issue in my case. Also, the large majority of vapman users don't have issues with getting burned. I read the entire thread and I believe @little maggie was the only person that had that issue. The wood does get hot where you hold it, but it's not unmanageable. However, in general it seems torch powered vapes are not for the faint of heart. They are reliable and rewarding, but do require some technique. But once you learn it, which is actually not that hard to do, you are good.
