Best Vape For Under 180

Discussion in 'Cannabis Vaporizers & Vaping Tips' started by patrickbongford, Apr 29, 2014.

  1. Okay, I am an apprentice toker but seek advice from the experts :)
     
    I have been smoking for half a year and want to purchase my first vape.
     
    I DO NOT WANT TO SPEND MORE THAN 180
     
    PLEASE LET ME KNOW THE BEST PORTABLEVAPE.
     
    I am aware of the Pax, DaVinci and Arizer but I have no clue which is the best or if there are better vapes.
     
    THANKS!

     
  2. My vote will be for the Arizer Solo. 160 for it. I hear Pax is good as long as you clean it regularly. By DaVinci, do ylu mean Ascent or the other one? MFLB is another option. I used to have one but got rid of it. It was good for stealth because of how small and portable it was. It requires a learning curve which wasn't hard to figure out after some research.

  3. im not sure which davinci, i just saw one in my price range and was not aware there was a different model. not a fan of mflb.
     
  4. The Ascent is newer and looks kind of like an old flip phone. The DaVinci looks like a walkie talkie or something. Is there anything specific you are looking for?

  5. I don't really care about looks too much. I honestly just want the overall best portable vape for my price range. I thought the PAX was pretty cool but I am not sure if the other vapes are better. If they are, I want to know which is the best in my range like I said before. Thanks again!
     
  6. I haven't used the Pax yet but I know with the Solo you get a glass air path resulting in a better taste. With the Solo you get 7 different temperatures to vape at. The Pax gives only 3. Different temperatures give different effects so I enjoy having the spread of the Solo. I think for your price limit the Solo is best purchase. Easily hooks up to water attachments. The biggest downfall is it is a little bulky so putting it in your pocket isn't much of an option.

  7. Also agree with the solo.. It seems like a fantastic vape. Can't wait for mine
     
  8. I wouldnt buy another arizer product my self. 
     
  9. What are your needs? If portability is your primary concern then there's the pax, indica, and mflb. If vapor quality and density is your primary concern then the solo or firefly. It seems like the ascent is the middle of the road vape of the bunch as far as portability and vapor production. The ones in your price range are the solo, mflb, ascent, and the Indica is just a touch over at 199.
     
  10. The Pinnacle Pro. Have only heard good things about it.

  11. You must not be listening because the Pro is one of the most plagued with problems vaporizers out there. 
     
  12. Dude I went on FC read about 35+ pages and saw nothing but great reviews, the other guy is right the cracking is caused by PonG removal, and the GonG is a solution. You're just a hater. Do you even own a pnp? Be honest too. You need to waste your time trying to convince an idiot you're right because anyone who can read would see you're just a hater. I even read threads on other forums including GC comparing it to the arizer and pax, and it still was chosen over the latter. What ever you're trying to pull is sad bruh because you're wrong, face it: YOU ARE WRONG.

    The following quotes are from FC and they are pulled from just the last 2 pages of a 202 page thread and each quote is from a different post:

    I would contact VB regarding your issues.

    ….as soon as i use it once or twice, it becomes a much longer process and i rarely get anything more than 3 uses before I have to recharge it or else wait 10 minutes for level 1 heat

    So every night I charge my PNP till it's full. In the morning I use it at work but today for some reason it won't heat up all the way.

    I think eventually the materials will be changed or the Pnp recalibrated, because it gets too hot.

    I do hope that VB is paying attention to the issues with the Pro with an updated model in mind because when the PNP is working as intended it is a fantastic portable vape. If they can fix the plastic issue and improve the battery life and issues, they will have the best stealth vape on the market.

    I know this gadget has its pros and cons like the plastic lip cracking and battery life…

    But my Pinnacle Pro is out of order and I can't find any description like that.
    I've been using it twice a week for three months, gradually it had taken more and more time to heat for the last two months, in battery mode. Seemed to be a battery issue.
    This last weekend, during heating time, it started to blink all leds in red and auto shut off, even with full battery charge.
    Most strange thing, this also happens when AC plugged.
    So, I can not use the machine.
    I turn it on, and in a matter of seconds it auto shuts off.
    A mess, sad, short life of my Pinnacle Pro?

    I've loved my PnP since I got it a few weeks ago but now it seems that my pong is definitely seeing some deterioration from heat and a small layer peeled off when I went to swap bullets.

    A suggestion to you, Chiefer.   Before telling someone else that they are wrong, you better make sure that you are right.
     
  14. I read that and he still thought it was fantastic, but the cracking is not from heat it's from the PonG, and removing it when it cools down. Every vape has its draw backs because to be quite Frank these companies when they first begin are not the most wealthy, so testing cuts and etc. are made. From using the MFLB, Arizer, Davinci, and pnp. I found the pnp to be most revolutionary and overall best.

    What you said was, "Dude I went on FC read about 35+ pages and saw nothing but great reviews...", which is obviously wrong.   Yes, there is a cracking issue, but there is also a battery issue and with portables, THAT is a major issue. 
     
    While I totally agree that ALL vapes have some issues in one form or another, to state that there was nothing but great reviews over at FC and than stating that PH is WRONG is a perfect example of "the pot calling the kettle black".
     
  16. I did read 35+ pages from the beginning mind you, and it's not major, you found one guy out of thousands. One and he still said it was a great vape after his issues, so your premise is just a flimsy as mine. From my experience I found the pnp to be the best experience. Idk when I'd be running a portable vape for longer than 20mins at a time anyway. All of these portable vape have problems and I could find a horror story for every one. I'm tired of people slandering good products though. You don't see me bashing any vape, I actually think mist of the ones listed are satisfactory, but the pnp IMHO is the best.

    You are wrong...........AGAIN.  It is not one guy out of thousands.    There are quite a few over at FC that have stated that they have had battery issues as well as other issues.
     
    And I'll say this one more time.   I agree that ALL vapes have their issues but the battery issues with the PNP is a well known issue over at FC and for you to gloss over that fact and say that either there were no negative reviews on the PNP over at FC or that there was only one negative review out of thousands is inaccurate.    
     
    If you're going to state facts, than at the very least, make sure that those facts are accurate.
     
    I'm over and out on this subject.    It's becoming quite comical how people here will just make shit up just to defend their purchasing decision.    If you did this over at FC, the mods would be all over your case and slap you with a warning for posting inaccurate info.
     
    Ok..............now I'm done.
     
  18. I read the issues minutes ago, the ones you pulled up were posted last night btw, and I'm just saying I can pull up just as many problems with other vapes that's all I'm saying. Claiming it's not a good vape is preposterous. I'm just saying not everyone goes through these problems who has a pnp because I know 2 people with the device who have no issues, along with the other people who have given testimony. I obviously understand that more than one has been defective due to various factors: including over use on high levels, which I wouldn't face because I only chief buds, which vape on lower levels. Besides all of this you are right and I never said specifically you were wrong. I only said that the cracking is not caused by the vape itself because it's caused by the pong and TRVB has stated that. I don't see massive issues with the device, and the issues are very easily avoided if you're not an inconsiderate imbecile and take care of your machine. Thank you tough guy.

  19. I have read the whole damn thread and Ill just go ahead and let you know that people were reporting the same problems from over 100 pages ago. The whole thread would be littered with negative reviews but the FC staff isnt to keen on letting that happen in any vaporizer thread. There are plenty of people who have reported problems even a few people proactive enough to spend a lot of time trying DIY fixes for them. 
     
    IDC what TRVB wants to pass off as the reason for the cracking. The pong isnt the reason that they whole unit is made out of cheap plastic that cant hold up to the temperatures. There are also battery issues and electronics issues on top of the thing being made cheaply. 
     
    So like I said if you havent heard any bad things about the pinnacle then you must not be listening correctly. 
     
  20. Im seriously laughing my ass off at you read 35+ pages and want to comment about the FC thread. That is a damn small fraction of what is there. 
     
    So you can be able to read it. YOU ARE WRONG. Now go be butt hurt about it.
