Portable Vaporizers

I started this thread so everyone could pitch in about what they use.

I'm actually looking to buy a new portable, I had the Pinnacle Pro a couple years back but I lost it in my last move. Right now I'm leaning towards the Firefly but I'm open to suggestions, price range $100-$200.

It'll be mostly for vaping dry herb.

If you have any suggestions, experience or ideas please let me know :)

Your price range is a bit higher than mine, I just want something to play with until I have more funds and can make a proper investment. I've been looking at the G Pro models, they have pretty good reviews and are the sort of price I can manage now, not sure about US but in UK most of them go for £18 - £25 so it's not too much to pay out to see if I like it. I just really need to stop smoking joints, I have a weak chest and stopped smoking cigarettes years ago but smoking so many joints everyday seems to defeat the object!

Thanks for joining me! Copy that, I'm trying to stop smoking period, my old lungs are weak too, been coughing way more than usual. Have you tried a bubbler? That helps by taking some of the burn out.

I've seen the G pens, I've read some pretty good reviews on them. I'd like to stay closer to under 150 myself, I found a Firefly for $120 on ebay (used) and a new Pinnacle Pro for 110. Just can't decide what to go with so I figured a thread where folks could post what they use/experiences might help.

Yeah the thread was a good idea, I'd love to read some people's experiences cos a lot of the "reviews" I find are on websites that sell the product they're reviewing and I'm not sure how much I trust them to be impartial.
I haven't tried a bubbler, I don't think, I had a little bong years ago but, other than the occasional blunt, it's a long time since I tried it any other way than in a joint.

Joints are great in a pinch but the papers kill my lungs. I had to stop smoking them years ago, blunt wraps don't seem to bother me as much. Go figure..? lol yeah, I'm with you on that, you can never tell if those are real customer reviews or the seller trying to pass their products off as best sellers.

I have the puff it... cost me $160 at a head shop. There's pros and.cons to it.
Cons-
Short battery life (only lasts 2-3 packs before a 5 hour recharge time)
Herb has to be super dry to use it. Idk if.that's common with port vapes But it litterally has to be.powder dry to work well.
The built in stir rod doesnt work too well.
PROS-
When it wprks it works well.
Super stealthy (it looks just like my inhaler except black)
Dont get that hot air taste ive noticed on friends port vapes.

Hope this helps, i.got mine a couple years ago and after i. Got it i read that they were making improvements idr what though.

thanks for the input, I've had my eye on those, pretty stealth for sure. Most of the vapes I've looked at require 'dust' instead of loosely ground.

I'd love to know if anybody's tried the Haze vaporizers with the dual tanks? It says you can vape wet and dry stuff in it, or both at the same time. I think if I had the money I'd be looking at those.

I've got a vapir no2. It has a digital temp control and works really well when plugged in. Its also really easy to clean. It can hold a charge for a while but when its not plugged in it takes longer to heat up and looses heat quicker when you hit it. Its also not very stealthy or portable, its kind of big like walking around with a microphone or a red bull can in your pocket.

I also have a pax. I don't know if I'm using it wrong or if its just a piece of crap. I have to hold the mouth piece in just the right spot so it will know the thing is connected, then even at the highest temp setting it barely hits.

Good question, that sounds interesting! I was just trying to google newest models to see what popped up and came across this one..

at http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/Nzg1WDEwMDA=/z/WjUAAOSweW5Va502/$_35.JPG?set_id=880000500F

if anybody out there has one or used one, please feel free to let us know your experience with it. I like what I see but am wondering how durable it really is.

@roseypeach I was a joint smoker for 40 years and (cause I was getting wheezy as well) got a Pax (V1.0) a couple of years ago. It's ok and kind of a PITA to use but there a multitude of newer ones on the market. Not sure about the pens maybe ask @Diabolical666 about them. I'm looking for a new portable as well.

I researched those pretty heavy back when I got my Pinnacle Pro, I can't remember now where my source was but why I chose the one I did just that there was an issue with combustion.

Oh man yeah, the wheezing..I'm a hard core smoker and it's catching up with me after all these years, time to buckle down and deal. You know about the Firefly? google that shit, it seems pretty tight I just haven't heard from anyone about their experience with it so I'm a lil gun shy on it

Not really sure, I haven't used it in a while and when I did I usially had it plugged in. I'll fire it up this weekend and let you know. I want to say it did last for quite a while.

I've found out I don't really care for vaping. I like to feel that smoke hit my chest. Now my go to on the go is a coil and dome with a piece of hash on it. It still hits smooth and I like the hash high better and the hash smell doesn't linger so I can smoke it in the car and just crack a window.

Buy the cheapest one on the market...they are all made in china crap that they slap their name on. I've gone threw about 8 different types of pens now with assorted attachments. All crap. If you are going to get one get the 3 n 1 online for $40 .
New studies show that vaping doesnt give you the same THC as smoking a bowl. Takes 40 hits on the vape to get the same thc as in smoking some flower. Oh, and also those herbal attachments usually run too hot and you end up just smoking it normally and not actually vaping it...even with a pen that has adjustable temps

good to know..I really don't put a whole lot of stock in vendor reviews, I always try to check around for unbiased rep.
yeah I noticed when I vaped before, the high came quicker but didn't last quite as long. That said, it will serve the purpose for giving me a break from actual smoking. I know there are some out there that use convection specifically and that's what I am shooting for. At the very least I'll feel like I'm doing some good for myself :)
