Hello, GC! I am the Tweety Nird Some of you may know me from Vape Club If so.... Sup and Welcome If not... Sup and Welcome I really enjoyed giving advice based on personal experience in Vape Club After having received a large amount of positive feedback... I decided to start my own thread giving and encouraging actual experience advice Virtual experience will be strongly discouraged here but all respectful posts are welcome I hope you come to find my thread both informative as well as slightly entertaining If so, please subscribe and spread the word If not..... please don't
First, I would like to begin by listing all vapes that I have actually owned to date(Not necessarily in any order) Iolite V-Tower VM3 Extreme Q Vapir Mini Vapir N02 Solo Skyda II LSV Vape Exhale Cloud Pax Atmos Raw Puffit Herb Iron (w/glass vape attachment)
Next, I would like to give a small overview individually on each of those vapes... Iolite Positives: lightweight, no need to charge(butane), pocket sized, sturdy Negatives: butane taste/smell, hissing noise while heating, lasted only a few months as my first and only vape Overall: B-, not bad as a secondary portable if you can get past the butane and hissing noise while heating is not an issue
V-Tower Positives: value for your money, generous bowl size, conserves bud(the best I have encountered), digital display Negatives: whip style only(essentially), airflow path, technical issues do arise after some time(years) Overall: A-, great vape for the money, I consider the V-Tower my first real Vape, still use as a bedside vape
VM3 Positives: looks cool Negatives: bowl is way too small, expensive, bulky Overall: F-, I could not even reach my levels using this thing, horrible vape
I had a different experience with the Iolite, TN. If I had to give it a rating, I would give it a D. It was the worst vape I ever had and the reasons are first and formost, I hated the taste. It always had that platicky after taste. The other reasons: It's a conduction based vape and I just don't like how conduction based vapes cook your bud. Didn't like the hissing noise. Didn't like inadvertenly opening the chamber and having the bud spill out. Didn't like how hot it got. Didn't like how it just intermittently didn't work. Didn't like hasseling with the butane. Didn't like how it melted the the plastic mouthpiece. Didn't like how big it was as a portable. Overall, I can't think of one thing that I liked about it. Maybe I should have given it an F, but being that it worked some of the time, I'll stick with the D.
Extreme Q Positives: fan, along with what V-Tower offers, cool light under base, remote control Negatives: fan went out after extended use, dirty airflow path, Overall: A, this vape takes V-Tower to the next level allowing bag use and fan but comes with a premium price
Vapir Mini Positives: great little vape tool, little airflow restriction, small Negatives: had to plug in or use battery pack, battery pack life Overall: D, bought it in hope for a decent portable, disappointed right away
Vapir N02 Positives: no battery attachment needed, little airflow restriction, digital display Negatives: low battery life, bulky, pricy for what it does(at the time) Overall: B+, I consider this my first (non butane) portable, battery life was a hassle
Solo Positives: Arizer, best battery life observed, great taste, efficient Negatives: small bowl, serious airflow restriction, not pocket sized Overall: A, great vape to take around the house, or hotel room, not to stick in your pocket
Skyda II Positives: resembles an Iolite Negatives: stopped working after two weeks of use Overall: F, waste of time and money
LSV Positives: handheld, Vape-Bonging dream, sturdy, wonderful airflow Negatives: blows through bud! Overall: A+, this was a vape looking for me, a steal at $189 (what I paid)
Vape Exhale Cloud Positives: all glass air path, cool features, clouds of vape Negatives: a bit pricy but nice, blows through bud! Overall: A, I enjoy using the Vape Exhale Cloud occasionally Edit: Dropping overall grade to B This is because I have had problems with 2 different units now While they work great when working, my first one went out after little usage Now the same has happened with the replacement they sent me
Pax Positives: pocket sized, powerful, 10 year warranty, sleek Negatives: restricted airflow, learning curve with mouthpiece Overall: A+, another vape looking for me, this thing is a beast
Atmos Raw(Vape Pen) Positives: E-Cig appearance, vapes bud, sleek look Negatives: low battery life, inefficient herb vaping, pricy(at the time) Overall: C, I have read that is better for oils, etc, not a true bud vape pen
Puffit Positives: looks like an enhaler, decent bowl size Negatives: plastic taste, stopped working after little use Overall: D-, cool idea, poor execution, would not waste money again
Herb Iron Positives: fun to use with a bong, handheld, inexpensive Negatives: no temp control, very hot, loose attachment fit Overall: C+, fun to use, way too hot, not for me
That is all! Please feel free to ask questions regarding the vapes I have listed and of course any that I review in the future Also please feel free to chime in with personal experience of your own on these vapes or others Cheers, Tweety
