Can You Use A Vaporizer To Smoke Crack

Hey guys just got an atmos raw vape pen and its awesome, its got me thinking though. Could i put a crack rock into my atomizer? I mean its just a coil that heats up so I imagine you could put crack, heroin, or meth in them alongside wax or chronic. Or perhaps buy a new atomizer and dub it 'the party time.
» *Next-Level Performance & Vapor Quality The Ghost MV1 is the newest vape to my list, and it really is the best example of the most advanced unit on the market. The body is a solid metal alloy and it has a ceramic herb chamber & vapor path with a retractable glass mouthpiece. The purity, smoothness and potency of the vapor is incredible by anyone’s standards.
Don’t even get me started on the flavor. It has a removable battery pack and I can’t stress enough how awesome this vape feels in your hand. The efficiency is also way above-average, it only holds about ~0.1g of material at a time but you get a handful of really nice draws from that, and you don’t need to take them all at once. Check out my page for my full video series, and follow the category for the latest news and updates. Note: You’ll find many varying reviews of this vape from others, most people love it but some people have a lot of trouble with it. I highly recommend reading some of the forum threads about it to help you decide if it’s the best one for you. Price: VapeRating: 95/100 (Top Pick) BEST VAPORIZER FOR $200.
» *Great build quality & battery life, easy to use The Arizer Solo II is their latest release and this design has been their staple vape for many years now. It’s basically one of the best all-around vapes you’ll find for $200 in terms of build quality, ease of use and performance.
This is usually the vape I recommend to beginners or to people who want the easiest unit to use. It also happens to have a very long-lasting battery, so while I don’t fully consider this a truly portable vaporizer I do feel that it’s great for cordless use around your home.

It’s currently $120, way on the low end of the price range for good portable vapes, but it’s actually a very nice package with cool features and respectible performance. You have a removable 18650 battery, digital lcd display with 1° temperature adjustments, a medium-size ceramic herb chamber and a nice ceramic zirconia mouthpiece (it’s magnetic too). I usually don’t like very inexpensive vapes because the materials they’re made of and their performance is usually sub-par, however, this Starry is an exception.
If you’re new to vaping and you want the best you can get for around $100, this is it. This one will be the easiest to use and will have the best features to keep you satisfied for a while.

If performance is one of your top priorities then this vape should be at the top of your list. It shares a lot of similarities with its sibling the Crafty, which I list below as my next Top Pick, but one of the main differences is its size.
This model is larger than the other portables on this list and I consider it more of a “cordless” home vape than a true pocket portable vape, but it is still portable nonetheless and the larger size gives it some advantages over the others. The strength and overall quality of the vapor is top shelf, it’s the most potent portable you can get. The reason this one is bigger is that is has two built-in batteries instead of one like the Crafty, so you can get 90 minutes of usage before it dies which is very impressive. The Mighty does have an above-average defect rate just like the Crafty, but it’s not as bad with this one and this model has proven to be the more reliable of the two. Despite the defect issues I still highly recommend this vape because of its amazing performance. Price: (authorized dealer in Europe) VapeRating: 94/100 (Top Pick).
» *Very strong performance & high vapor quality The Crafty is in my hall-of-fame as the best vaporizer I’ve reviewed that fits in my pocket. Vapor production is amazing for a portable unit and the quality of the vapor is top-shelf all the way (flavor and smoothness). My favorite thing about it is the strength and potency, which is on par with some of the best vaporizers in existence. However, nothing in life is perfect, and neither is this Crafty. The only issue worth mentioning with this vape is the above-average defect rate, which sucks.
Everything about this unit is amazing except for the fact that it can randomly break down at any time and stop working. I’m on my fourth unit right now and all of the previous ones that broke were replaced for free under warranty, which is the only silver lining here.
If your unit breaks all you do is mail it back and wait about 10 days for a replacement. The performance of this one is so good that I still highly recommend it, and even though defects are a known problem I feel confident in the manufacturer’s ability to swiftly send out replacements.

You really have to watch my video review to see everything there is to know, but it’s basically a very well-rounded vape, it’s very good at a lot of things. It’s small, super portable, feels well-made and performs like a champ. It also happens to have a removable battery, Ceramic Zirconia vapor path, and custom programmable heating styles.
Check out my review page for a bullet point list of the most notable features. Price: VapeRating: 86/100 (Top Pick). » *Cool features, super easy to use, looks & feels great This AirVape XS has a ton of cool features in a tiny package. The shape is unique and surprisingly comfortable, and it has a sleek, durable finish. The oven inside is ceramic with about a 0.2g capacity, which is the perfect amount for a full solo sesh. Performance is above-average for a portable, and considering its size I’m very satisfied with the taste and vapor production.
It’s also one of the few vapes that vibrates when it’s ready and also when it shuts off, which is more convenient than it sounds, trust me. It also has a glass mouthpiece, micro-USB charging, and temperature control in 1° increments. Overall, a very nice package, especially for the price. Price: (Recommended EU Dealer) VapeRating: 83/100 (Top Pick).
» *Easy to use, big clouds, fast vapor production The CFX by Boundless Vapes produces an above-average amount of vapor in a below-average amount of time, ya see what I’m sayin? Even short 4-second puffs will get you nice satisfying clouds with these, and even though the draw is not quite as free-flowing as some others I still find it very enjoyable to use. The main difference between the two models is the CFX has that big lcd display on the front, and I’m not gonna lie it’s kinda cool and useful. Performance is basically identical and believe it or not battery life is pretty much the same too. The CF is the smaller one that I’d consider much more of a pocket vape for use on-the-go. Price: (recommended authorized dealer) VapeRating: 82/100 (Top Pick) BEST VAPORIZER UNDER $100 – MY TOP PICK.
» *Popular entry-level dry herb vaporizer The Flowermate is pretty much the cheapest vape I recommend, but the performance is still respectable and it provides a good overall vaping experience. It’s easy to use and built fairly well, and while the taste isn’t anything to write home about it still manages to produce satisfying clouds of vapor. Battery life is actually above average with this one because of its two internal batteries (pretty cool for the price).

Previous top picks. PAX 3 The latest version of the most popular vape ever The PAX 3 just came out at the end of 2016 and it’s pretty much an incremental upgrade from the previous version (not necessarily a bad thing). It’s the same size and shape as the PAX 2 but the shell material and the oven electronics are different now. The main thing I love PAX for is fast vapor production, and this new model can give you a full draw of vapor after heating up for just 20 seconds which is super quick. Vapor quality is excellent and it’s way above average for a conduction style vaporizer.
The taste and smoothness are both very good and this is one of my favorite portable vapes to carry around with me. — Flowermate Swift Pro True portable convection vape for dry herb The Swift Pro from Flowermate is a sweet little vape, and it actually shares almost identical internals with the Boundless CFV that I have listed below this one. This one is a top contender as far as best vaporizer for dry herb around $200. It utilizes pure convection-heating which as of now is not a very common feature among portable vaporizers. 100% convection heating means your herb gets heated solely by hot air, so there is very little to zero conduction effect happening. This type of heating has both advantages and disadvantages, but most people would agree that the pros outweigh the cons. The Swift Pro has a nice look, shape and feel also, and I’m finding myself reaching for it pretty often.
Build quality and the materials used in construction are probably it’s biggest weakness, it can feel kinda light and hollow, but I still like the performance of it a lot. — Boundless CFV Convection vaporizer that is NOT complex This is the CFV which is a really cool portable vaporizer from Boundless.
Their other vapes, the CF and the CFX, are both a hybrid of conduction and convection heating, so this CFV is actually pretty different in how it’s designed and how it performs. The oven is on the smaller side with a capacity of about 0.15g, but this vape is super efficient and you’ll get 5-8 really nice draws from that amount. Flavor is very good with the convection heating and the draw resistance is surprisingly not that bad, it’s slightly easier to pull from compared to their other models. — Firefly 2 On-demand convection portable for herb & concentrates The Firefly 2 is one of the few convection-based portable vaporizers that has good performance, really good. One of the most noteworthy aspects of this unit is the superb flavor of the vapor it produces. It’s also incredibly efficient and does an equally great job of vaporizing both dry herb and concentrates.
Some people have struggled a bit to fully enjoy this one because of the slight technique involved to get the best results, but I feel that once it is mastered it offers a type of experience you can’t get from other portables. Make sure you watch the video reviews I made that include the Firefly 2, they’ll really help you learn how this vape works so you can make sure it’s the right one for you.
— PAX 2 Very well-rounded and extremely popular The PAX 2 is arguably one of the sleekest and sexiest vapes made, and the performance matches its good looks. In terms of sales the PAX is the best portable vaporizer for dry herb of all time, and the fantastic reliability of the new model makes it a no-brainer if you like the style. Flavor and smoothness is actually really good considering this a conduction-style vaporizer, and it’s a noticeable improvement over the original model. One of the cool advantages this one has is the ability to create nice satisfying clouds of vapor from short ~4 second draws, which is not an easy feat. I feel it provides a great overall vaping experience and it’s very easy and intuitive to use, so I highly recommend it. For 2017 they now have the PAX 3, so you might wanna check one that out too. — Arizer Air Good build quality & performance The Arizer Air is an easy to use, strong performing unit made in Canada.
Build quality is great and it even has a removable, user-replaceable battery (standard 18650), which is not an extremely common feature. I don’t consider this one “truly portable” because realistically it’s a little cumbersome to try and use on-the-go, however, I feel it is a very good cordless vape best used around your home. Arizer makes a few other vaporizers also like the Solo and the Extreme-Q, and they’re a fairly popular brand in the industry that a lot of people like. — Flytlab Lift Small, compact portable with a big oven This one is the Flytlab Lift vaporizer and it’s got a few unique qualities that set it apart. The Lift is definitely a pocket-portable in that it’s compact shape and design makes it easy to carry around in small places. But what’s cool is that the performance is above-average for a unit of this size, it can really produce some big draws if that’s what you like in a vape.
Its oven or herb chamber is also bigger than most other portables with damn near a 0.5g capacity, and that’s important because I recommend packing it to the top and keeping your herb tamped down for best results. Another cool feature is the retractable mouthpiece which is held in place magnetically. During your session this piece is also used to tamp down your herb, and keeping it tight the whole time keeps vapor production at the max.
— Back in 2015 I posted a video about the best portable vaporizers at the time, and here is the original transcription. What’s goin on? Let’s briefly talk about the portable vaporizers that I have reviewed so far and hopefully this will help you quickly choose the best models for you.So the Crafty and the Mighty here are what I would currently consider the top portable models, these are designed for dry herbs. Build quality is very high, vapor quality is very high, efficiency is very high, the strength of the vapor is very high, and you get a lot of vapor from it.
These things basically perform as well as really good desktop units, which is very rare for a portable. These are awesome, the battery life on the Mighty ($400) is a little better, like an hour and a half versus 45 minutes, but the Crafty is the smaller one ($340), so whatever you value more is the one I would recommend. So those are the two top shelf units currently. The Tier two units which are still very good, the ones I like generally range from $150 to $300 bucks. I’ll start with the Firefly ($280) here. This one has really high build quality, it’s really sleek.
It feels really solid. It’s nice, it’s a little harder to use than some of the others because it is manual heating. The technique is slightly more intermediate/advanced. Sometimes beginners can’t get great results with it. But the one thing that’s really cool about this one is as far as portables go, the taste is superb. Next, we have the Alfa. This is a more recent one I reviewed but it’s very good, it’s small, it’s light.
One of the cool benefits of this one is that it works really well when you take short draws so you only have to pull on it for 4 seconds. I think you get a pretty satisfying amount of vapor.
I like this one. PAX 2, this one is also fairly new, released in April 2015. This one is really good, I like it, it’s sleek, small, sexy, performs well. There is also the original PAX from 2-3 years ago.
This one is also really good. The new one is improved in pretty much all areas. These are great vapes for on the go, to take with you, stick in your pocket or purse. These are awesome! They are very, very popular, so you have probably heard of these already. The Vapium summit, this is also a fairly new one.
What I like about this one is it is inexpensive. It is only $150, but I like the performance.
It performs closer to the $200 vapes. I’m happy with it, I like it, it’s a nice little unit. Then up here, we have 2 other models that are very popular. A lot of people like them. The newer Arizer Air, and the Arizer Solo.
Most people and most stores will consider these portable vaporizers but one of the reasons I don’t consider these truly portable is they aren’t pocket vapes, you do have to carry these around if you are going to bring them out of your home. They are multiple pieces, the glass stems come out. You have to carry them separately. Then you have to carry your material separately so that you can pack it when you are ready to vape. They are a little large, they have the glass parts, you have to bring your materials separately.
They are good vapes. I like these as cordless units for use around the house. The performance is good with those. A little bit of draw resistance. It is okay though. Good build quality.
Then we have the Haze, this is a pretty good one. This is the one that has the two bowls, or dual chambers which is pretty unique. It also has the mouthpiece that goes in and out. This one is pretty cool. The vapor quality is average, a little above average.
The battery life is really good, the two chambers is cool also. So then we have the Lotus, which I actually haven’t put out my full review of yet. This is a really cool little piece.
It is actually powered by a torch lighter. This is why you see these marks on the top here. It’s really solid feeling. This is a really nicely made piece, it really is. So basically you would hold the torch above here, while letting it hit here. The flames never actually touch your material, just the hot air radiates through it, and that’s how it vaporizes. This also is a little more advanced like the Firefly in that it is that manual heating.
You can overheat and combust you material if you’re not careful. I even still do it sometimes by accident occasionally. So there is some technique involved with this one.
Then there is the DaVinci Accent. This is a fairly popular one. It’s not really one of my favorites because I find the vapor a little on the hot and harsh side.
I also don’t really find it to be that efficient. But the battery life is good, build quality is okay. This one is pretty good, fairly popular like I said. Then we have the simple ones over here. The Magic Flight Launch Box. This one is a classic. It has been out for a while, many years.
It is extremely simple. Some people knock on it for being so simple. I think it is cool, very unique.
It is powered just by a rechargeable AA battery. It doesn’t produce humongous clouds, it’s not great for multiple people but for small sessions, a couple of draws here and there, this thing is just over $100 and I think it’s pretty cool. (A dry herb one.) Then made by the same company, by Magic flight, you have the Muad-Dib, which is the concentrate version. You have a little screen in there, instead of the big screen. This is the one for concentrates, oils, waxes, stuff like that. Then we have the Inhalater, another vape I haven’t put out my full review of yet.
It’s pretty cool. One of the only negatives is the kind of vapor that is on the hot side a little bit. What is unique about this one is that it works really, really, really well with a water piece. If you hook it up with one of your pieces you have already and you bump the heat it up all the way up, and hook it up to your piece, you get humongous clouds, the taste is good. It is better than using it regularly and is smooth. That is kinda what I like that one for. Then we have the Cloud V Phantoms.
This is the original one. I have a video for this. One of the few things that I didn’t like about it was the vapor was little hot and harsh because it only had one temperature setting. The default set temperature is over 400 degrees which is a little high. So then they came out with a slightly newer version which is not really that different, but one of the main differences is this now has 3 different temperature settings now and one of them is under 400 degrees. I think it’s 374, so that’s actually where I prefer vaping with this one. I think the vapor is the smoothest.
You might get a little more vapor output on the higher temperature that’s above 400, but I think the overall experience is better on the lower temp. It is pretty efficient and it is not expensive, a little over $100. I think these are pretty cool. Then we have the Flowermate which is also pretty cheap. This one’s okay, build quality, average. It’s a little unique and neat because it has this mouthpiece that unscrews which is glass.
It has storage compartments on the bottom for it. It is pretty clever and cool.
But the vapor, once again, which is very common with inexpensive portables is a little hot and harsh. It is pretty decent on the vapor output and if you keep it on the lowest temperature-it has a few temperature settings-it will be pretty smooth most of the session and tastes fairly good. But then once you bump up the temp, it is just downhill from there.
It is a nice unit and inexpensive. Then we have the NO2V2 which is the new version of the original NO2 which looks exactly the same.
I believe the improvements are faster heat up time and longer battery life. Performance is the same and everything else about it is the same. It is a pretty good middle of the road vape. It is considered portable but just like the Solo, it’s large so it’s not really a vape for on the go. But for around the house, it is pretty cool. The V2 Pro Series 7- this one’s also fairly new. I consider everything about this one average.
I don’t think it’s really fantastic but it produces okay vapor, tastes pretty good, has a cool cartridge system. This one is a 3-in-1.
You can use it with dry herbs, e-liquid or wax. I don’t think they came out with the wax cartridge yet though. We have the Titan / G Pro / K-Vape. This one is pretty cool and also cheap. What I like about this one is you can get a lot of vapor from it and get big clouds. It is fairly strong.
Once again, the vapor is not that high of quality. It will be a little hot and harsh. There is a trade off when you want to go cheap, you’ll have to deal with the harsh vape. Then we have the K-Vape, KandyPens is the company that makes the K-Vape, they just came out with the K-Vape Micro DX. It’s smaller, long battery life, pretty efficient. It has a smaller chamber.
This one is cool if you like vaping at low temps. You’ll get a lot of use out of it, it’s small and light. Next we have what I would consider one level lower. The Indica, which is a tier 3. I’m not really down with the whole Zippo thing, and I don’t use it a lot at all. This one is okay, the performance is okay. Nothing about it is bad.
If you like this whole Zippo idea, there is no reason I don’t think you should get it. It is just not one of my favorites. The Pinnacle Pro, CloudV Terra, Atmos Orbit and Atmos Transporter, these are at the cutoff point of ones I recommend. This is base level. This is the worst and cheapest I think you should get if you are going to go that way. All of these are going to be okay performance.
Everything about them is just going to be okay. Over here we have some of my favorite pens for waxes and oils and a couple of them do herbs. This is the Dr. The battery life has been fantastic. I really like the mouthpiece, it is in there good. The coil has been good to me. I have a bunch of them and none of them have gone bad and I have had this for many months now.
There is nothing I don’t like about it. They have some cool glass attachments too. What is really cool is they just came out with this light and this thing is cool. I haven’t seen one of these mini ones that work like this, but you can actually get a regular pen experience. It is basically a mini version of the normal Dr. It is cool because performance is almost the same or very close.
This one is extremely discreet and portable. Very light, basically only a little bigger than a cigarette. Mouth piece comes off also, so it’s actually a few different pieces.
One of the only things I don’t like about it is the button sticks out. It sticks out about 2mm, and it would be cool if it was a little more flush. But otherwise I have been using it a lot and it is really cool.
My wife likes it too because it is a little more girl-friendly. While I am talking about girl-friendly, I’ll show you the pink one. I actually did get this for my wife. This is a KandyPens SkyCloud. This one I got a while ago, and some things have been updated. There is a black edition that is new and I’ll be reviewing that one soon.
This company is cool, they do a lifetime warranty. They have a pretty unique atomizer or coil. Another cool thing is that the atomizer or coil stays in really good and locks into place nice which is cool because some of the sucky pens come apart easily in your pocket. That is really nice. Speaking of that feature, that is also why I like the Cloud V pens. This is the Classic and this is the Classic Mini, which is a little newer.
These also have the nice tight coils or atomizers so they don’t fall apart. I like it, it has a cool coil, it’s good quality, vapor is good, battery life is good. I like everything about this one. The V2 Pro Series 3- this was the first pen vape that I reviewed that worked kind of well with dry herbs, because pretty much up until very recently, any pen that claimed to work with dry herbs just burned and combusted it. This one actually vapes it. It is a 3-in-1 pen, so it comes with different cartridges. This is the dry herb cartridge in it now.
They also have cartridges for wax and e-liquid which I think also work well. I like the wax one. What is cool about this is that it is small, discrete, light. This one is better for smaller sessions because the vapor is light, and can only fit.1. It is efficient and you’ll get a handful from that amount. This is the same exact unit, but this is a different brand, QuickDraw. This one is good too.
This one is cool because they come in different colors and designs and the way they package it is a little different. The last one here is the Omicron. I’ve had the body of this one for a while. The V2.5 I bought a couple of years ago. Back then, it had a different cartridge for the oil. They now have a new kiss cartridge.
It has a ceramic rod. So back to the herbal vapes, there’s also Tier 5, but we’re not going to talk about Tier 5.
So there you have it! This video is as of May 2015, who knows what’s in store for the future;) Thank you very much for taking the time to watch this video, and stay up! I’m looking for a good replacement for my Grasshopper. Cheap Trick Live At Budokan Rar Files there. I’m disgusted with the constant returning of the unit for repair.
And, apparently, they have a new process for testing and repair. This is causing them to hold my unit from November 10th. They are now saying it won’t ship until after Christmas! Give me a break! It doesn’t take 6 weeks to fix. Obviously, the five day repair turnaround they previously had, was not sufficient to keep the unit working reliably. I like the size of the Grasshopper and don’t have the same heat issues that you mentioned.
So, I would like something similar. What do you recommend?
Bud, Great postings and information! I do not vape at the moment, but I have been a regular dry herb user for years now and think it might be time to invest in a healthier way to consume.
As of right now I am leaning towards the Ghost MV1 for performance and durability reviews, however can I use it for my primary source of consuming? I know I have to keep it clean and probably have to replace the cartridge time to time, but other than that, will using it daily put lots of wear and tear on it to where it looses some function over time? Also, how does this portable vape compare to the desktop vape? Will a desktop vape last longer, or are there any other major advantages to a desktop? I just read back,nice edit to your reply mate. That’s low dude.
You called me a loser for the question I asked, now different reply. Could have had none of this if you just said that at the beginning.
But you do,as the question and purpose of the other article was to name your favorite portable, which you answered davinci iq. To a not so hostile person who’s response is to call people losers for their questions,is say sorry for the confusion but your response was pathetic and fraudulent with your edit. Wtf are you talking about I didn’t edit anything. To address your original question, I don’t recall saying the IQ is my favorite and that it’s better than the Crafty, that’s not something I’d say, which review from April are you referring to?
This page will always have my most up-to-date thoughts and ratings, if there’s a discrepancy with an older review go with what’s on this page. My rating system used to be different and the IQ was rated higher, I still think it’s a good vape it just doesn’t score as high in my newer way of doing it. I deal with a lot of bullshit comments so forgive me for categorizing yours there. If an older review has conflicting info, go with what I say on this page. What’s up yours bud?
I said I haven’t read it all,why I asked the bloody stupid question idiot. Thought that was point of comment. You want some &@$” sucking or something? Is that the point. Not from me pal.
I saw another article where you said iq, was just wondering why so much lower than crafty but you say iq is best portable in April. But I don’t care no more, little internet hero getting all angry, am I scared, of a little shrill tuff guy lmfao at you bud. Stop gettting angry mate, I actually wasn’t having a go but you showed what a douche you actually are. I’ve been following your reviews for a while now, and I must say, they are disappointing. EVERYTIME you rate the highest priced vapes as the best. Because you get a kickback. The Boundless CFX is made from the identical materials as the Mighty.
And other than the difference in draw resistance, The CFX is every bit its equal. The vapor is every bit as good! And it doesn’t have the failure rate of the Mighty ( or the very disappointing DaVinci IQ. And I was a DaVinci fan until this turkey came out, I know of people sending their IQ back as defective 6 TIMES), and has better battery life. I know, I’ve owned most of these vapes Maybe you should take a look at the background of some of these vapes. The AirVape XS, that sells for $180 started out as the Hebe titan III Or VS2 if I remember correctly, and sold for $48 its still a cheap piece of crap.
It would be a great vape at $50, at $180?? I’d recommend staying far away from it! So if you want to put a little honesty into your reviews, look into who and how they were built originally, there’s a lot of this re-branding and jacking up of price on cheap, Chinese vapes, many so called “good” brands repackaged the Titan I, a $29 vape, as their own and sold it for up to $109!! And funny, I never see you mention the problems associated with so called premium vapes, like the Mighty and the IQ. Maybe you should do more homework, or do some long term testing, might be an eye opener for all. Hello, I have used volcano and original pax.
I then tried the Vapir No2 which I liked but wanted something that was a little simpler to use with traveling. ( I did appreciate I think you mentioned that even with arthritis the the No2 was ok to take care of).
After watching reviews, I got the Mighty. I ordered from online company. The problem I am having is that it heats up 4 degrees past the set point then goes about 3 degrees lower. I found that it to be very hot on my throat. When I asked the vendor they tell me that all vapes vary that much. But I don’t see it on any of my other vaporizers.
Is this the case that if varies the set point up and down, before you even take a draw. Can you advise please. I am very frustrated by this. Thanks for the reviews, you are my 1st’ go to’ reviewer, and I trust how you evaluate the devices.
From reading comments around the vaping community, it does seem that a new to the market vapourizer that appears to function well is highly praised, and recommended despite the understanding in the community that serious problems emerge over time, and are not immediately known, such as battery issues, gas leaks, units overheating, warranty claims ignored etc etc. I understand that a new product is reviewed and rated, and it is only by reading comments months down the line that an individual has a truer understanding of the cons. Some vapers have limited funds, and may splash out on a high end device but with a longing hope that there will be little or no further expenditure for the duration of the warranty at the very least. This means that reliability, durability is more important than gimmicks, whistles and bells,A progress review after a few months may help some decide. When thoughts and feelings change about a device, an explanation around these changes would benefit, not just because newer and better products are available.
I see the Ghost MV 1 is top pick. I do not doubt VCs review, but as it is still not on the market, the over time problems (if any) are yet to emerge. It is retailers clearance sales that create the biggest search for negative comments, as once expensive devices are sold for less than half price, and bargain hunters who just want an affordable well functioning vape need to know they are getting a bargain and not a lemon. Perhaps there should be a tier of lemons. Anyway what you do is appreciated thanks once again John. Firefly 2 functions brilliantly.
Hard core stoners can enjoy 2 25+ second draws per bowl that are full flavoured dense clouds. Heat setting high, power tuning 106%. As the bowl requires stirring after each draw, the top lid can be wiped with a dry tissue while still warm, eliminating the need for iso or any liquids / solvents. However slack people who allow residue to build into a brown stain, will need iso to remove this gunk. There is a design fault in Firefly 2.
The gasket adhesive on the top lid is affected by heat, and the use of iso will cause the gasket to be unstuck, rendering device unusable. This also can occur by NOT TAKING EXTREME CARE when positioning the top lid when device is warm/ hot. The adhesive loses much of it’s quality when hot, and if forward or lateral movement happens when positioning the top lid, the gasket becomes loose, meaning no seal. Great care is needed, the lid should be directly above the unit without needing to push, slide or ease the lid into the correct position, this takes practice and will save the user money, as Firefly are now saying the warranty on Top lids are just 60 days, and not 2 years, even as the top lid has the Firefly Logo. These things happen, and the best way (in my opinion) is for Firefly to explain in a video the vital importance of fitting the top lid in the manner I just described. I am sure Firefly 3 will not have this problem. Cheers for the website I have now purchased a few vapes on your say so.
I started out on the Solo 1 which I still love to this day, what I did’t love is the amount of glass tubes I have dropped but the Vape is good. Then my wife treated me to the Crafty once I finally converted to 100% vaping, but even though it performed wonderfully the thing kept breaking down. So after 3 crafty’s in 7 months I paid the 50 euro upgrade and swapped it out the Mighty. The Mighty is the best thing I have tried (as you say in your review pretty similar to the Crafty), it runs for ages, produces clouds of dense vapor its perfect for me. So rightly at the top or the portable Vape table.
Recently I have got my wife vaping so I used it as a perfect excuse to purchase a second vape, so I went for the Pax3. After trying to choose between that and firefly2, thanks again for the reviews i decided to go for the Pax3. Had it a day now and still finding my way with it, its good but as you say in your video its a shorter toke (bit like smoking) so remembering not to take the long draws like i do with the Mighty. Ill get there, but thinking about getting a bong/waterpipe for it but concerned the short toke will ruin it. Thanks for the info, the level of detail is what i’m looking for and the video makes getting the info in even easier. Last thing, I sort of wish I would have waited and got myself the ghost but maybe early next year ill give it a go.
Looks awesome. In response to Adrian’s June 2, 2017 comment: Adrian Pryce wanted one of our newer wholesale sales rep to split his order into two to avoid paying customs duties and taxes. Young sales rep in an effort to accommodate the customer instructed the warehouse to “split the order.” Warehouse did so by packing 45% of the items in one box and 55% in the other. The value of the goods was $364.88 + $712.99, respectively.
However the CIF (cost, insurance and freight) values were approximately $461.86 and $812.99, respectively (US dollars total = $1,274.85). Note: customer’s credit card was charged twice to cover the total amount stated above; once for $1,200.00 and another time for $74.85. Therefore, the total payments received from Mr. Pryce in connection with this order totaled $1,274.85 – and no more. His credit card was NOT charged again without his consent as alleged. Moving forward, unbeknownst to our Sales Rep, the items in the larger box converted to slightly over $1,000 AUSTRALIAN dollars. The threshold for having to pay the customs duties and taxes is CIF greater than $1,000 AU.
The customer claimed and received the smaller valued box which was below the threshold but rejected the higher valued box which was greater then the threshold. As a consequence, the larger valued box was return to us. Upon its return, we offered to again split the larger valued box but requested that the customer pay for the additional shipping – at our cost. He got upset and wrote the post above. I researched this issue on Friday and wrote to Mr. Pryce Immediately following his post.
From Adrian: Hi Adrian, I have spent the past hour researching the issues surrounding your last order with us and would like to jump on a WhatsApp call with you at a convenient time to discuss a resolution. Please advise me of a date and time that works best for you? Many thanks, Jeff Sherman, CEO Vapornation He responded this morning I am easy going let me no what times u are available and I will call u Sent from my iPhone We hope to resolve this Monday. PS I do see that Mr. Pryce purchased some Kandy Pens vaporizers early in 2016 but we cannot locate any communication wherein he advised us that they were defective. Kandy Pens has a VERY low defect rate and on the rare occasion when there is a defective unit, they/we offer a life-time warranty. We would be happy to offer Adrian replacement units forthwith.
I highly recommend people to stay away from vapour nation as a supplier of vapourises they will out and out rip u off and have the worst business ethics I have seen I had a wholesale acc with them I’m in Australia I had planned to order $700 usd of vapes to keep it under the 1k Aud taxible limit the sales Derek hunt convinced me to buy over 1k usd to get some really shonky vapes for free and they would ship in 2 packages to keep me under the limit so I ended up agreeing after being heavily persuaded much to my regret. Bud, one thing that would be appreciated in your dry herb vape reviews would be more discussion about the overall efficiency of the Vapes, specifically how it relates to splitting up sessions. For many who vape solo it takes only one or two draws from a session. In many of the conduction Vapes you can get many more draws than that from an oven that holds.2 grams. Because you have to pack them full and conduction vapes continue heating the herb after you turn it off, a good amount is wasted. It seems only the Firefly 2 has a real ability to use small amounts, and that is prohibitively expensive for most.
Maybe I am missing an option, and would welcome a recommendation. I’m on my third mighty! Customer Service? They are telling me they can’t REPLICATE THE PROBLEM Same as everyone else Overheating A rattling sound Power button and display It’s all over the internet If Storrs&Bickel won’t honor their product for obvious defect YOU need to STOP Endorsing The Defective Mighty Too many people reporting the same problems and customer service is useless and seems mechanic! I own a volcano and a second mighty which has never acted up and I have the pax and vapexhale After all these years is Storrs&Bickel now on The Dark Side?
Great comments. My only advice to folks to read up the vapes before you by them. A quality piece will go a long way. I’ve owned the MFLB, Pinnacle Pro, PAX 1, PAX 2, Crafty and Mighty. My current vaporizer is the Mighty.
Battery life, cloud production, taste, smell and cleaning are the most things that matter to me. It didn’t start out that way but now that I know my way around vapes, I evaluate them based on whats important to me.
Here’s a quick highlight reel of my experience with each. MFLB – low tech but very effective. Cloud production and taste are great. My only drawbacks were the batteries, strong smell and after 2 years I started to have issues with the heating of the material.
It started to burn the material and the area to put the material in started to break down. If you don’t mind the smell, get the ac adapter so you don’t have to keep replacing the batteries. Pinnacle – Didn’t even last a year.
It’s made out of cheap materials. Plastic parts started to melt and battery life sucks. PAX1/PAX2 – I purchased the PAX 2 because of the upgrades. This was my go to vape for while.
Its a great vape. The only drawback I had was the cleaning and the size of the chamber. Crafty/Mighty – Both are great vapes. Cloud production is great, taste is great, battery life is great and it doesn’t stink up the place. You can’t go wrong with the Crafty or the Mighty. I prefer the Mighty because of the temp control on the unit and longer battery life.
Hi Bud, I also am looking into buying my first vapor device not only for me, but for my dad who is going through some amputations at the moment due to cigarette smoking. What I currently use is my little proto pipe that I’ve had for years. I came across an ad for the Davinci IQ, and I’m a quality type of girl, but am wondering if I should start first with a Davinci Classic?
I don’t need all the bells & whistles but would like something that’s good looking, easy to use. The Pax 2 or 3 is also a condider. I’ve only ever smoked flower as this is all I know as I’m sort of “old school.” Many thanks. Happy new year. I have a FF2 and once you figure out the best draw “speed” it’s amazing. The flavor it gives is better than anything else I have tried. It’s a great personal vape and you don’t waste any flower.
The concentrate setting is fantastic. When I first started using it I didn’t have the trick to the draw down. You need to do a nice, SLOW AND EASY, draw. I usually draw for a full 15-20 seconds or until the light goes out.
When you do this you will definitely start to feel it in your lungs and the amount of vapor will look like the amount that Bud demonstrates in his review video. I also found that it really works well with a fine grind, even though it has been advertised as working well with hand torn.
Two negatives, both being very small: 1) when cleaning with rubbing alcohol do not touch the rubber seal on the lid, it will start to peel off 2) When I fill the bowl I usually end up turning it upside down in my hand after every 1 or 2 draws to mix it up. I know you can also pack less and shake/tap it but I was too nervous about hitting it against my palm too often.
I’ve never reviewed a vape before but this is truly a great vaporizer. I highly recommend, just make sure you are patient at first.
Once you have it down, you’ll never want to change. I agree with most of your comments on the FF2.
It excels in what it does well but it has some pitfalls that have pushed me onto buying another vape. To mention a few: the battery life and charging methods leave a lot to be desired; the app doesnt work that well -for one the battery life indicator is a joke; cleaning is very easy but as you mentioned the rubber seal comes off because the glue used is not impervious to alcohol; it is not a truly portable vape -but in size, it is very difficult to load & stir in an open space; and most importantly, using it is not a relaxing experience but a chore. After having it for 6 months I find I am vaping less and less because of the sheer thought of the process involved. Two other issues that would make me not fully recommend the FF2: (1) it is not a vape you can share with a friend, even occasionally, due to its steep learning curve and bowl size and most importantly, (2) it can be operational but faulty out of the box, and this you wouldn’t know unless you had used one before, it happened to me and it was an uphill battle to get it replaced, the after sales service was appalling and I only got redressed when I wrote directly to Mr Firefly himself! I recommended the FF2 to a couple of friends and lo and behold, they had the same issue with a faulty FF2 and no response from Firefly for over 2 weeks until I passed onto them Mr Firefly details and only then their problems were redressed. Would I recommend the FF2? I am not so sure.
If I do it would only be to a purist and with all the caveats mentioned above. I have 3 Flowermate V5 OS. I did have 2 malfunction and they were promptly replaced by Puffitup.
Both had switch failures. Battery life is good.
2 or 3 sessions are possible with each charge. Easy to clean. Fairly rugged and compact.
Solid aluminum build. 3 temp settings.Dry,wax and oil are possible. Comes with replacement screens and cleaning tools. At $80 it does it all. Have used others and liked them but I don’t see the advantage of paying more. Big drawbacks are that there is no USB charge option, uses a proprietary charger and no use while charge option. I suppose that’s why you pay more for others.
Note – I have never used one for wax or oil so I can’t vouch for their performance using those substances, but with drywhoopie! Love your reviews! Last year I bought the Firefly 2, Pax 2, Vapexhale & Kandypen Gravity based on your recommendations.
All have been exceptional “tools of the trade”, so thank you! I was surprised, watching your current reviews, that the Firefly 2 wasn’t even mentioned, but the Pax 2 was still in your top tier (especially since you previously rated the Firefly 2 higher than the Pax 2). Anything to share about that? Also, I am quite curious about the DaVinci, which I’d never heard of until watching your review. It looks really amazing! Be well & Enjoy! So I came across a vape pen that I have been dying to see your review on.
Unfortunately due to how new the product is the delay in shipment has caused me to cancel my order. I’m going to stick with vaping concentrates for now.
The vape pen is called the grasshopper. This is currently only used for marijuana. No concentrate accessory yet. Like I mentioned I cancelled my order as I have been waiting on delivery since March of this year.
For now I’m sticking with my oil rig and dr dabber portable enail. Please let me know if you get your hands on the grasshopper. Everything about it looks great. Just extremely disappointed I waited this whole time receiving a once a month update just telling me about the new estimated ship date being pushed further out.
Unfortunately, Firefly isn’t great after a period of time. First, batteries need replacement almost yearly.
Then my original Firefly quit after two years. It had a five year warranty, but they no longer make the motherboard or ceramic heating element to repair it.
Rather than replace it, you have to either pay an upgrade fee – which makes the original cost now more than the FF2 alone – or take store credit minus a hefty 30% restocking fee. Hopefully other makers have either better quality materials or better warranties. Pax 1 >pax imo because of the battery.
Your pax 1 can last you forever if you are careful,and even if it breaks itll be cheap, buy an old one off someone for 70 bucks now, buy a panasonic 18650 battery with 3400 mah. For those that dont know, generally more mah= last longer. And for vaping herbals the voltage needn’t be very high. On ecig batteries you tend to see way higher voltage and less mah, basically for everything you add you must lose something else, equal exchange kinda shiet. (original pax had like 2600 mah or 2800. Pax 2 only has 3000 mah) for 8 bucks, same one that tesla uses and diyer’s use in their electric bike battery packs, thoguh in those cases they usually break down old battery packs from laptops that contain a bunch of 18650s that might not be the best brand but when you’re making ur own u can find.
If anyone has learned how to open a pax 2 i will buy one. With the Storz and Bickel crafty you can actually change the 18650s in a very similar way,may be even easier from what ive seen, due to pax being so goddamn small and tightly packed, actually quite impressive devices when you open them. Oven, computer,insulation around the oven and a completely sealed chamber where no vapor will touch the internal computer and a battery and that’s it. Once a top tier company comes around with a better version of the arizer air (battery swappable) or a company starts up with that idea in mind and makes all their vapes like that, gets the other criteria on point (vape quality primarily,and ofc the ability to swap out high quality, high maH batteries no matter how old, and ofc an ergonomic sleek, small design), they will take portable market over. At the end of the day, as long as there are craftys and gen 1 pax, we will always have a high quality vape that you can buy used for cheaper every day and once the storz and bickel portables’ batteries start to get fucked, and they release their new product just in time for the batteries in the previous unit to start holding hardly any charge, and will just start gathering dust much like the pax 1 battery is fucked now, and you buy a 7 dollar panasonic 18650 with spot welded tabs, and swap batteries out of (if you learn how).
The arizer air is the only portable with a swappable but it lacks a little bit in certain other areas, if fixed, would dominate the market, the same way people were going for their arizer air’s over pax 1s simply becuse of battery replacement reminiscent of changing a flashlight li-ion battery.easy. Many dont realize, you treat your li-ion batteries right they will last a long time, treat them poorly they will die sooner but they all have a lifetime just like us. Hey I have the volcano so I know that’s really all I have to compare anything to. But I was wondering I just bought the firefly 2 it was between that and the crafty and I went w firefly cause of the issues crafty is having I was disappointed w the firefly and I just sold it. Now it wasn’t the worst thing in the word but for $300 I had higher expectations.
What would you say would be the best vapor quality, thick clouds portable dry herb vape out there for under $200. I’ve been eyeing up the magic flight lunch box but wanted to see what you thought about that or if you have heard or tried the atmos boss idk I’m looking for a really good one under $200. Hey, I am on the cusp of my purchase decision to upgrade from my old Magic-Flight Launch Box, of which I was an early adopter quite a few years ago. Crafty or Firefly 2? Here’s my question: after all my research, and even though I fell in love early with the idea of the Crafty, I’m thinking FF 2.
It seems to win on my most important criteria, however your reviews, as well as almost everyone else’s seem to put a little extra emphasis on just how freakin’ amazing the vape quality is from the Crafty. Is it better than the FF 2 and the FF 2 simply wins out on other factors, or would you consider them equal on that point? Be carfeul how you answer.
I may buy both! Wordperfect X3 Download Free here. ! (One for me-time, one for sessions.). I have the original Iolite vaporizer for nearly 3 years.
I like the portability and performance, strong vapor (but it’s harsh and too hot sometimes, so my gf doesn’t like it so much). It gets me baked AF every time. The main problem is the hissing, man. It’s really annoying, the session isn’t as discreet as I wish it would be. So I was thinking about an upgrade. I don’t care about concentrates (don’t know where to get them and too complicated to make it myself). First I got my eyes on Pax2, it looks sexy.
But the smelly part is a no for me. I guess the Crafty is simillar (but way better) experince as the Iolite. I’m not happy about the defect rate, but I live next to Germany so the shipping wouldn’t take so long when getting repaired. After a while I decided for Firefly 2.
I was more inclined to bowls than j’s (a j is often too much for me). So the thing that I can take a few draws and then leave it for a while when I’m good is appealing to me. I like discreetness, so short sessions and lack of smell is a big plus. But man, it isn’t available in Europe. And it will be probabably more expensive than in US. Should I wait or get a Crafty? Or I just can keep the Iolite for portable use and get a Volcano:D (I will probablly get it next year anyway when I finish my degree and get a job).
Thanks so much for your hard work! You are my goto source when shopping. I have a 1st gen Pax, and had to give it up after 6/8 months use, since the mouthpiece’s spring mechanism stopped working properly. I couldn’t return it, since it was a store demo (I got a good price). I’ve read that this was actually a fairly common issue with the 1st gen. Now that you’ve been using the Pax2 for a while, how is the spring holding up? Have you heard any comments as to whether this has been improved?
Other than that, I did love my 1st gen & would consider upgrading. Thanks again for all you do! Hi, I wanna buy a portable herb vape with precise temperature control (most important to me), which is decent to nice looking, made out of metal and glass or ceramic at around 150, what is my best option? Will mainly and rarely use it for weed. The oil and wax stuff would be a nice addition, but is no necessity.
Davinci?, Flowermate v5 pro? What is your professionl tip for the best smoke quality. Oh yea I don#t want any leakage into the smoke from the inside of the vape of course, so pure smoke. Hi Bud, I love your reviews and have a few questions. Here’s my situation: I am a medical marijuana patient, daily user & have a relatively high tolerance.
I need to find a portable vaporizer for use at home. Must be Under $200. My first and last use of the day is heavier, but then I take a few hits several times throughout the day to maintain. I feel using 0.3g each time I load the chamber to be too much for just me and wasteful. I am on a budget and have to watch the $$$ spent on cannabis.
Stealth does not matter. Previously I had a Flowermate until it nearly caught fire. What vaporizer would you recommend for someone like me who mostly vapes smaller quantities throughout the day, plus a couple of larger pull sessions? Does just turning it off once I’ve taken a few hits work or will it continue to use up the bud anyway?
I’m so confused. Which one do you think will be the best vaporizer for my situation? I hate smoking. I really appreciate your help.
Just discovered your site congrats! I noticed you don’t seem to recommend or even mention any vape PENS for weed. Are there any worth considering? What do you think of the G-Slim (Ground Material)?
I’d really like something stealth to carry around – ideally that looks like an eCig. I’m also curious to hear what you have to say once you’ve spent time with the Grasshopper. Looks/sounds great except for the comments from people about the hot tip – kind of lame to need that rubber cover, which quickly becomes yellow. Lastly, curious to hear if you have any thoughts on Absolute Xtracts concentrates. I had a chance to try them and didn’t love the taste, but super convenient and great looking with the G-Slim battery.
Buyer Beware. I’ve had the KandyPens Micro DX for 2 months.
I am on my 8th mouthpiece. First it cracks up one side then the other as the interior crumbles like eggshells. Body of unit is now orange peeling & bubbling (from heat). Customer Service is dissapointing and I’m trying to be nice. Every time I heat this up I’m reminded of my $200 POS Really disappointed, constant emailing to KandyPens is totally unproductive and frustrating No help there. Please people, read ‘user’ comments on Review sites.
Looks like I’m not alone. Oh well, in search of a new Vape. 2 months later So sad. Hello: Thanks for your great reviews.
I’ve bought and returned (but yet to ever open and use) several vape pens/vaporizers because I’m just not sure what I need. The main idea was to use ecigarettes to quits smoking, and now that I was just (in the last 3 weeks) diagnosed with PAD and have 3 totally blocked arteries in my legs, I HAVE to quit smoking (2+ pks per day). I also want to try the CBD Oil to help with Medullary Thyroid Cancer. I was diagnosed back in 1997 and have been through oral chemo twice but neither reduced my mets on liver, lungs and extensive bone tumors; nor did it help with bone pain (for which I have to take potent Opiod Rx), or pain from spinal mets; nor help with chronic digestive issues (for which I have to take another potent opiod Rx, anxiety (yet another Rx), depression, etc. First I bought the Volcano Inferno Pen to aid in stopping smoking. It came with Pure Tobacco eVape at 24mg and I bought also the 16mg vape Pure Tobacco Vape eLiquid for when I taper down. Then I bought a vaporizer pen set and CBD Citrus Vape oil from TastyHempoil.
However, both these Pure Tobacco eLiquids and the CBD Vape Oil from TastyVapeOil all contain Propylene Glycol, which has been shown to be a harmful chemialc. Furthermore, I just received an email with yet another warning. It seems that “a recent study that showed a potentially harmful chemical called Diacetyl was present in more than 75 percent of flavored e-cigarettes and refill liquids. OSHA has issued a warning about the dangers of diacetyl and how it can lead to severe respiratory diseases such as ‘Popcorn lung’” My questions for you are: 1) Have you ever reviewed the Volcano Inferno with it’s 900 mAh Pass-through INFERNO Battery (allows you to continue vaping while charging) 2) If so, how does it compare to the Dr.
Dabber Ghost and Aura? 3) One website stated “These [CBD]oils should not be used in simple e cigarettes. You’ll need a vape pen, and it’s best to choose a specialized oil vape pen that takes mainly oils and creates as little combustion as possible.” I’m not sure whether this is entirely true or the seller is just trying to get consumers to purchase their Vape Pens. Do I really have to buy a special pen for vaping flavored or non-flavored CBD Oil as opposed to eliquids or can I use CBD Oil vape liquids in the DR. Dabber Ghost or Aura Vape Pens? 4) If I must buy a special vape pen for CBD Oil Vape liquids, have you reviewed any of those type vape pens and which do you recommend?
Supposedly, the CBD Oil derived from cannabis is better for medicinal therapeutic use due to its high THC concentration. Unfortunately, because of the its THC concentration, I cannot legally buy cannabis-derived CBD Oil here in the NC bible belt (cannot even buy for medical use here in NC). Otherwise, I’d invest in the volcano desktop vape that you so expertly reviewed.
I’d like to start CBD Oil therapy as soon as possible. Since I’m limited to using only hemp-derived CBD Oil, (and may also want to use the regular tobacco flavored eliquids to help stop smoking – if I can find a brand that doesn’t contain PG or Diacetyl) I really would appreciate your help in deciding whether I need more than one type of vape pen and which is/are best suited for each use. Thanks A Million! Hey man, Your reviews are helpful. I started with a Firefly and found it has battery dependability issues, plus it draws hard. I really liked the Crafty, but the battery became squirrelly after just 11 months and they want $90 to tune it up.
This is such a racket. The Storz guy in Oakland implied I might not need a new battery. I’m getting the alternating red-yellow green light when I try to turn the Crafty on. Can I do my own internal maintenance and how do I go about that? How do the PAX 2 and Summit compare on battery life and other reliability issues to my issues w/ Firefly and Crafty?
If I don’t need portability, how about a Plenty? In your review, you mentioned “2 replacements under warranty” with the Crafty.
How did you arrange that, and what were the warrantable issues? I just filled out their RMA form. Hey how are you? Iam highly interested in the herbalizer as well as the aromed. Since i live in asia we use 220.voltage.
Herbalizer currently run only.in 110 ( us/ canada). I.was thinking to.get an transformator for the herbalizer. Prob is the warranty will be voided if you use the transformer/ other current. Aromed i.like really.much too.but never tried it same as berbalizer. Now i am a bit.under.pressure.
What do you think would be a better option herbalizer plus transformator or aromed 4.0 I hope you can help.me making a decision of give me some tips Thanks a lott Flo. I appreciate your reviews. A couple of years ago, I bought the Arizer Solo and Extreme Q based on your recommendations. Now the Solo is starting to malfunction now and again, so I’m interested in another portable.
I’d like one that does a good job with just a pinch or two of material. I store the material in a CVAULT with the 62% Boveda packs, and grind with the medium Space Case 4 piece grinder. What would you recommend as my ideal portable in this case? Also, does the Space Case grind finely enough? Should it be dryer than 62% for vaping?
My experience with the crafty hasn’t been good. I’ve gone through 2 of them in 8 months the first one caked after 50 hrs of use and the second one is starting to cake after 30 hrs of use. The battery is terrible,after 20 hrs of use the battery starts to lose its strength. A good draw when new would drop the temp by no more than 10 degrees. After 20 hrs of use a good draw is dropping the temp by 30 degrees. Spend to much time waiting for the temp to rise. I’ve owned a N02 since they came out and it’s been bullet proof.
I’m waiting for the PRIMA from Vapir to be released this month and then I’m sending my crafty back to be repaired again then I’m selling it. This product needs a major battery issue resolved.
I suggest waiting on this product until they resolve the problem. Hey Man, Thanks for all the great reviews. I always tell people who ask about vapes to check out your youtube channel for good reviews.
Anyway, I was wondering if you were going to do a Source Orb review? I see it on your top vape pens but no link for a review. Unless it was in the 2015 full review and I just forgot? I was checking out the Dr.
Dabber but I just feel like with all the options that the Source Orb has that it would make it a better option. I like the convenience of pre-filled carts, but i dont feel like i get the full affect from those as I would from a pen that I would fill the atomizer myself. What are you thoughts on the pre-filled carts? Thanks, Matt. Hey Steve thanks for posting!
That’s a little bit of a tricky problem you have there, the Volcano actually produces some of the coolest and smoothest vapor you can get: Maybe you’re grinding your herbs too fine? Or packing too much? Even at ~365°F the vapor should be comfortable, but you do have to draw all of it out of the bag within a few minutes for the best vapor quality.
As for portables the Firefly is a good one and wouldn’t be a bad option for you because of the manual heating, if you get your technique down you can gently heat your stuff and get a light vapor that should be smoother. Thank you for your videos and reviews. They are incredibly helpful. I am deciding between the crafty and the mighty. The size of the vape is not an attribute I really care about. I would be fine with either size. The only thing is that i’m thinking the mighty may produce more / better quality vapor because of its size?
Or is that false? Why did you give the crafty 97 and the mighty 96? Was it simply based on portability? Or did you find that the crafty produced by vapor (more dense, better tasting, and more potent)?
Which vaporizer do you believe produces the best quality vapor (most dense, best tasting, and most potent)? Hey Bud, What’s your thoughts now on the Haze? I bought one last December and love it! Especially the can use for the flower. Load up a few, pop one out, another in, and keep on keeping on! Amazing how little product you use with this and the results are amazing. I only use the lowest heat setting and it is more than enough to do it’s thing.
Almost zilch to clean, about a minute. I don’t know about the oils and axes, honestly, I didn’t buy it for those. Can’t say enough about the Haze, perfect for my uses. Your thoughts? After doing weeks of research – including your great reviews, I’m ready to get a portable vape. But I still cannot decide if I should get the Crafty or the Pax 2?
I was initially going for the Pax 2, because of the long battery life, small size & more. Then I saw that the Crafty didn’t cost too much more, so it’s in my price range too. I mainly will be using it at home, but also ‘on the go’ when needed, so I think the Mighty is a bit too big, at least that’s what I’ve gotten the impression of (plus with the Crafty I can always buy an ext.
Battery for usage if needed). Long story shortened a bit: I mainly am worried that if I get the Pax 2, that there’ll be too much draw resistance, which I see online a lot for users, not sure if it is just that they didn’t clean it enough or that there is a flaw in the design (I have an old VaporBros home unit (no fan in it or anything) & it makes u suck fairly hard to get anything from it) – And I’d like this new vape to be much better. Is this a “real” major issue with the Pax 2? Because I like the form factor of it better I think (smaller, longer battery) than the Crafty, BUT. I plan on using it, a LOT.
Pretty much every day & throughout each day multiple times. My tolerance is on the higher side, If that matters (perhaps in regards to explain how *I* vapenot really sure if I’m a ‘sipper’ or um’super-sipper’). I just don’t know how to decide.
And I’m unable to try either unit, I don’t know anyone with either. If anyone has time to reply about anything I’ve mentioned, that’d be awesome:) Sorry for a long post, it’s just a lot of $ for me & I want to get it right. If anyone can help with the following questions as well – I beg for your help: – Since the Crafty uses (I think) convection, does it make any loud fan noise or anything like that?
– I also would like the least-smelly one’ especially when it’s loaded with flower & is just sitting around turned off (my roommates hate that pot smell). Which is truly better in that dept. (now that the Pax 2 & Crafty are in widespread use)? – As for the Pax 2, I’ve read tons of reports that it gets too hot on your lips, and even almost too hot to hold I some casesIs this accurate & happen every time basically? – However, I’ve seen SO many reports from Crafty users that have had their unit stop working, break, etc. It honestly looks like a real problem, OR, have they fixed it with the newer 2015 model I hear about (which I’d hopefully get, somehow, hopefully) – Is this a major problem?
There’s just SO much conflicting info out therePlus on here (vapecritic), you gave the Pax 2 a much lower score than the Crafty. I’m lost & going insane lol please, please help if anyone can. Thank u in advance.
So, should I get the Pax 2 or Crafty? Any & ALL replies would be so much appreciated! And yes, I definitely will order (whichever I decide) using your link, to give u credit. Thanks for helping if u can & sorry this got so long, BTW: NICE, NICE SITE! Another major player, at least I think is the ‘Grasshopper’.
The reviews I’ve seen on other sites say some pretty good things about it, and it’s much cheaper than either the Pax 2 or CraftyI don’t see a review on here yet, or maybe I haven’t found it but I am curious how it stacks up. I know it was a crowd funded product & think they’re probably catching up on those preorders still — not really sure. But at its lower price, I am curious if it can stand along with the other 2 I mentioned? Thank u all for any info or comparisons or whatever. Hey man huge fan of ur reviews, best ones out there, I’m stuck on a few things tho, I’m looking at a personal vape, roommates have a desktop, so I’m after one strictly for me.
I keep going back and forth from the pax 1 and 2, I tried the 1 once and liked it, but 2 is only $80 more. Not a fan of the flat mouth piece in 2, but like the thick casing. I also heard that when u aren’t drawing from 1 it’s still cooking your material, which I hope isn’t true, I’m after one that really conserves my stuff, I don’t mind cleaning the vape. Guess long question short, instead of having one full session with a full oven, I like fill it, do half now and half later, is that okay to do on these pax, can u leave stuff in the vapes and come back to it later. I’ve been going back in forth for days on those 2. Anyways thanks a lot man for all the reviews, I figured u would be the best person to ask this.
People have admitted to adapting their e-cigarettes to vape banned drugs Experts fear it could lead to overdosing and addiction among teens and young adults. They warn detection and prevention is harder as users can vaporise drugs discreetly with no smell — known as stealth vaping. Desktop vaporisers and vape pens can all be modified. Dr Matthew Blundell and colleagues at King’s College London polled 861 people e-cig users. Some 39 per cent admitted vaping illegal drugs. Up to 2.6million Brits use e- cigs, so about a million may have used them illegally. Rogue substances can be added to water then vapourised, or e-cig liquids containing drugs can be bought online.
Other drugs reported as being vaped include ketamine, GHB and LSD. ©News Group Newspapers Limited in England No. 679215 Registered office: 1 London Bridge Street, London, SE1 9GF.
