You could grab one on MassDrop for 75$ right now...
Looking for a vape in that price range (maybe even lower, kinda on a budget for school).
Would you buy one at that price? Or wait to find another deal?
On a budget? Eh, I don't know, tough call. I think I'd rather buy something like a used Solo and a few spare glass bits for it if I were in your position.
It's your health, you can buy any vaporizer you want. Doesn't mean it will work well for your needs (every vape is different, and you will eventually lust for a collection to chose from). It sounds like budget is a concern, but what else do you need in a vaporizer? The MFLB may be a good choice, but it's not the easiest vaporizer to use (plus you need to grind your herbs VERY FINE for best results, hence the need for a finishing grinder)
If you believe the hype that vaporizers use less herbs than combustion, you will spend less money on your herbs when using the vape. Therefor, why not pony up a bit more $$ up front, with the intention of seeing how long 1/8th can last you.
