My local dispensary started selling the FlowerMate HybridX and it kind of fascinated me. It does cartridges, dry flower, dabs, and waxes. I really resisted buying it. I’ve learned over and over again that these cheaper vaporizers are terrible wastes of money (except for my Dynavap M 2018). The dispensary is selling them for $90.00, and with my military discount it was $72.00. I decided at that price it was worth a chance. How did I find the overall experience? This thing is a piece of crap. Everything it does it sucks at. Seriously it’s truly terrible. Dry Herb I like to vape my dry herb at 360 F to start. The X brags about it’s fast temperature increases. Well it says it gets up to 360 F very quickly, but it’s BS. Maybe an element is 360? By the time it gets started (after waiting several minutes to see if this thing ever works at 360 and giving up) I’ve increased the temp to 450 F. Through the first heat up it gets warm. The second session gets to be a bit uncomfortably warm. Because I like to finish everything on the first sitting, by the third session it is painfully hot. I’m not exaggerating. It is f’ing hot. I need something to hold the X with. Oops, almost forget to mention the taste. From the first taste to the last, it’s just terrible. Cartridges It’s fine with cartridges, and it’s nice to know the battery percentage. That being said, it’s huge, it’s conspicuous, it’s heavy, it’s bulky, and the cartridge itself is fully exposed without protection. Wax/dabs Really any vaporizer that holds .25 gram capsules will do wax and dabs so big whoop. Without it going through a water pipe it’s just much, much more convenient to use an 80% cartridge. I normally highlight good and bad. I am always very thorough with my reviews. If there is something good to say I would say it. I love passing along nice deals. In this case, with the exception of showing the battery level in the cartridge mode (which other less conspicuous batteries do as well, for much less $$$ and they protect the cartridge) I honestly have nothing good to say about this thing. It’s neat as a novelty but if you’re buying this with the hopes of simplifying your life to just one piece that handles all your vaping needs, well I just can’t tell you how disappointed you’ll be. It’s terrible at everything it does. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
It’s strange. Every review I’ve seen on the Hybrid X are extremely positive. Maybe it’s better than I thought, but I’m comparing it mostly to my Dynavap. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
