There seem to be a bunch a vaporizers on amazon for around $30. It's the kind that sit on the a table and plug a hose into. I know typically you get what you pay for but how good are these? Would they be worth spending $30 on? Im not sure if I could post a link but any help is appreciated.

I bought a vaporite solo vape from amazon last week for $62 with shipping.. It's not a da Buddha but it works really well. I got the one with the dial temp adjuster; no complaints thus far.

The others that are $30 are pretty cheaply made, spend a couple more bucks on a vaporite and you won't be disappointed.

I was just looking at that one right now. Yeah that looks like the only decent one for a good price tag. Any complaints about it?

Nah man it's pretty sweet. Ive been experimenting with temperatures this week and 390-400 is the best temp for me. On my old vape, a similar style box vape, I only had to go between 360-370. I guess it just varies depending on the vape.

I love this vaporite though, it works really well. And it has a nice blue LED light underneath which makes for fun late night vaping.

The cheap $30 ones will help you know if vaporizing is for you.

Not worth it to blow $100+ on a nice vape and end up not even liking the feeling from it.

I'm a huge fan of the vapor genie; mine was around $60 from a shop but you can order it straight from their website.

Lotsa ppl dont like it because it takes mild intelligence to operate, and without proper operation you don't really get high. Just takes a little practice, and it's portable!

No, they do the job of vaporizing it, it's just that they're far from idiot proof and they are not as efficient.

Also the temperature control isn't accurate which isn't really problematic since it's usually only a couple degrees off.

Ive used a friends vape, which he got off of amazon for 30 bucks. Not sure which one it was, but it was surprisingly not a bad quality vaporizer all around. It had adjustable temps, although it was most likely inaccurate lol..

the vapor quality it produced wasnt bad though. I enjoyed using the thing honestly. It was definitely not the same as using the dbv, but it still got the job done! But im sure there are hits and misses with those units. Some probly break within a few uses while some ppl may have theirs for man months with no problems

I agree with the earlier post that it could be a deciding factor to whether or not you like vapes. If you are inexperienced and dont want to spend all the money to test it out, then go for it.

No offense, but I disagree.

I bought one of those cheap $30 vapes on Ebay. They are really not worth the money. If you want to get into vaporizing get a decent one.

I have heard good things about the Q, the Budda or Surfer, and, of course, the spendy Volcano.

I really disagree. Maybe you got lucky but I've seen too many that failed to work at all, or they'll be some unsafe soldering iron glued in a box.

You could make better, safer vapes for cheaper. Don't waste money, time, and health buying a vaporizer that is likely to turn you off them.

Haha this is a pretty damn good summary.

I've had a few friends who owned those $30 vaporizers before I had a vape and it turned them all off from vaping. Once they tried my da buddha, though, it made them all reconsider.

Spend a bit more - it's worth it.

I started on one of those $30 Amazon box vapes. I love it and I use it nearly everyday but I'm looking to upgrade. Thinking strongly of the MFLB but hearing how it kills the batteries in a few seconds is making me reconsider.

If you get the mflb, you gotta make some other investments in it as well. First of all, the only reason to get the mflb is for great portability and of the course for how stealthy it is.

I would say getting new batteries for it. Powerex 2700s are theeee best- around 15 bucks. Best upgrade for it though, and worth it

I'm aware of the battery issue. What other investments would I have to make?

I would say the power adapter is also a good investment, but thats only if youre smoking it at home frequently. Might as well get a bigger and nicer vape in that case tho. Just my opinion tho.

But this is the only investment i have made for it, and thats about all i need. A quicker battery charger would be a luxury but not a necessity with 4 powerex batts

Thanks for the replies guys. Ok since the $30 ones are out of the queston how is that Vaporite one from amazon? The one that's $60. One blade said it was actually pretty good. Any other opinions on that?

I used one of those things at a friend's house and it ended up combusting the bud. It was set on like 320F, I guess it just kept heating up. I've heard that the components in them end up going bad after short amounts of time, which isn't a surprise considering they only cost $30. If you're on that low of a budget right now, I'd just buy a pretty decent glass piece and wait until I had enough money to buy a quality vape that won't end up ruining the experience for you.
