Bong vs. Vape

I know I've likely asked this before but I'd like some fresh and new opinions on this matter.

So, if my budget is $150 - $200 for a bong or vape, would you say a desktop vape like the Arizer EQ would be a better choice, or a bong for $200 or less would be a better choice?

I'm looking for something that will smoke great and get me stoned and hit very smooth and where the taste stands out.

I don't vape, so I'm not experienced with it and in the past, I've had bad luck with herb vapes where you need to repack it after every hit and you also need to constantly maintain it and even replace parts.

you know, before I put 200 dollars into something I regret instead of a nice nice bong I could get

 

It was some kind of $70 vape herb pen and it was absolute trash. It's kept me from dabbling back into the herb vape world. Big turn off is the one hit per vape and that maintenance.

It looks interesting, but is that really vaping? And do you need to have a bong to vape out of it? The Arizer EQ has an attachment that goes to a bong as well, I've had my heart set on that vape if I were to try a new vape.

 

The LSV does seem pretty good, but I am just weary about whether or not my bong piece would work with the LSV. And it seems to have more disadvantages, to me, compared to the EQ. Based on this video about LSV

 

This is true, but I did kinda want to dry vape too at the same time. Because I don't necessarily have the best bong in the world, which is why I asked the question to get a nice bong or a nice vape essentially.

 

Only complaint here is, I can get the Arizer Air for the same price as the EQ. Truth be told, I'll likely never go portable with an herb vape, so portability isn't important to me. I feel as though the EQ would perform better and be more efficient, being as it is constantly plugged into a wall. Correct me if I'm wrong on that.

 

Only reason was because I did a lot of research on the EQ, and it seems pretty idiot-proof. I'm just making sure you understand what I need it for, and you kept suggesting portable and being the tech guy I am, I know that anything portable will naturally not be able to use as much power as something that is directly powered by an outlet. For example, a laptop can't perform the same as a desktop computer.

But if it's not the case, and that the Arizer Air is just as powerful as the EQ, perhaps I'll go with that. My main concern was efficiency, and I've just been weary with my first herb vape I bought which was trash.

Please do describe log vapes, what are their benefits over a regular vape?

 

I went with the Arizer EQ in the end.... It is now on the way! I can't wait to give it a try and see how a good vape actually feels.... I'll update how I feel about it after I've received it and used it once or twice.

I recommended the LSV to my friend, and he seemed pretty interested. If he gets it, I'll definitely bum a hit off it at least and let you know!

 

1) agreed
2) I do kind of feel as though the EQ doesn't produce thick enough smoke. I like to hit drags big enough to make me cough, the full, thick smoke you think of when you vape, I want that. But with the EQ, just got it today and used it with 3 - 4 bowls messing with setting using the bag mostly,I feel as though it's unable to get the bag to be smoky. Maybe I have high standards, but I want that bag to be a straight cloud of smoke. Or at least enough to get a big hit off of. I can personally take 1 big hit off the bag and finish it. Kinda sad, really. Temp is at 195 C. I've cranked it up from 200 to 210 but 185 -195 seems best.

I will say I'm pretty baked off of it though, and it's quick and simple. I suppose the EQ simply is not the vape that I have been looking for. The vape I have been looking for is one with a full, thick smoke like you would think of with most vapes.

 

Man, I really wanted to like the vape too. I have found I really enjoy the bags. I really didn't think I would at first either. But they're pretty fun actually. Just wish I could get one smokey.....
