Portable Dry Herb Vaporizer Suggestions?

I eventually got the Boundless Tera V3
Comes with two replaceable 18650 cells installed.
Its an all-day party in a vape probably 10 5-minute sessions on a charge.
Since I stopped vaping e juice, I just swap out the batteries with the extra set and go on vaping weed...

My PG allergy makes the thinned out oil cartridges a negative for me. So it will have to be kief, flower, rosin or hash in my vape. It is really good with scissor and bubble hash
 
I've been looking at the firefly 2 a bit actually. Price is just over what I wanted to spend. I'll have to go in to a store and check one out.




After going through 150 bucks worth of atomizers on a 80$ pen I threw that piece of shit as far as I could, so I'm feeling the same way.

Still leaning towards the MFLB but what I really don't like is how it's "live" anytime there's a battery in it. I'd rather have a push button to fire it up.
The Launch Box is decent but has limitations. I have one and there is no problem with it being live anytime the battery is in because you have to put pressure on the battery to connect it and it releases when you remove your finger. It has good flavour but I found the batteries are pretty poor and there is too much of a learning curve.

PAX 3 is good for being discreet and having a decent size bowl (0.3-0.4g). What lets it down a little is the air flow isn't great and it gets too hot on longer sessions.

Grasshopper is my favourite for quick hits. Heats almost instantly and tastes great as it is convection heated. Also fits into glass for bubbler use really easily. A bit fiddly yo clean and if you don't regularly the flavour is really off.

Hands down best device is The Mighty by Storz and Bickel. Expensive but very much worth it. Good airflow, pretty clean its, doesn't get hot to hold on longer sessions and long battery life. Only negative is that it's big for a portable. Everyone always mocks when I pull it out at a party and then they have a few hits and the piss taking stops.

So I bought the boundless CF a few weeks ago. Got it in the mail today. Wondering if there's any tricks to packing the bowl? I tossed in about 3/4 of the element and tried it out since the battery was charged. Hardly got any vapor or a buzz. Did the same with a full element and had the same results. Ill charge the battery when I get home to make sure that's not the issue but otherwise am I missing something?

Did you buy the CF or CFX? I literally just bought the CFX on Sat and going to arive on Friday. My first one so excited. What temps did you have? Also did you break it up by hand or fine grind? I also read its better to go in stages for a new preson vaping. Hold it in mouth but not lungs and than work up to holding in lungs and slowly breathing as opposed to smokings quick exhale since vap doesn't burn but slightly scratch if not used to it on the throat.

I love my PAX 3.
The original was good but the newest version is perfect IMO.
I run mine in "efficiency" mode, which gradually increases oven temp from 370 (configurable) to 420.
Mine is set to start at 380 because 370 doesn't produce enough vapor to be worthwhile.
Got the complete kit for $170 last year (4/20 special) and couldn't be happier.
Hell I was hitting a bowl while typing this post.

This is with the "half pack" lid, which uses less herb.
The regular lid is too much for one person.

Unless the weed sucks... :(

Just the CF. Smaller unit and doesn't have the ability to adjust settings by degrees. Comes with 5 settings - 355F, 370F, 385F, 400F and 415F. I ground it up with my regular grinder I got about 5 years ago. Doesn't grind up as fine as it use to. Though I had a "fine grinder" sent to me along with the vape, I haven't tried it yet. I live by the words "it ain't a toke if you don't choke". Straight to the lungs. It's not like cigs vs e-cigs. Pot smoke is harsh regardless to me, more harsh inhaling mouth to lung rather than the other way around with cigs.

I got it figured out. I was putting my bud in the screen not the bowl lol. Sorry I'm a little technologically deficient sometimes. Hits awesome now that I'm using it properly. :dunce:

i would love one of these things, but i've gotten to try 4 different ones, and they are all pretty useless to me....i didn't get "high" off of any of them....i guess maybe this product just isn't for me....i don't want to feel "elevated"....i want to get fucking high.....if i want to be elevated i'll climb a ladder.....when they come out with one of these things that hits like my bong, i'll be all over it, till then, i'm not dropping 100+ bucks to get the equivalent of a contact high.
i even had a "wet" unit i made my own vape juice for. i decarbed and dissolved enough hash in it to put an elephant to sleep, and got a slight buzz....
guess i'll stick to smoking it for now....

I like my Healthy Rips Force. Smallish, nice battery life, can be turned way down for efficiency or cranked up if you want to choke.

If someone is reading this with a larger budget, the Mighty has been incredible for me. It's not slim but it fits in a jacket/coat just fine and sort of looks like a flask. A friend and I used it while tailgating in a non-legal state and no one noticed a thing.

I can't compare it to other vapes and I know it's expensive but most people report using theirs for 4+ years. Well worth the investment if you can swing it up front.

Smoking and vaping are totally different, both in flavor and effect.
I didn't like vaping at first, but now I prefer it to smoking.
Much better flavor.

But getting high with a dry flower vape is more of a process than an event.

When I want to get blasted quick, dabs work.
I can't even remember the last time I dabbed.
It's too much, too fast, and I don't really enjoy the buzz.
Must be getting old...

i don't need to be immobilized, but i do want to be "high"....being half ass high is almost as annoying as not being high at all....like almost getting off......

My dry flower vape gets me ripped.
It just takes a few minutes.

It's unlikely that your THC tolerance is much higher than mine.
I like ultra-strength edibles and THC oozes from my pores... :eyesmoke:

And we're the same age (53).

i not sure it's a matter of tolerance, just some people are able to absorb it better in different ways. edibles don't do a lot for me, i have to make them very strong. the people i give it to usually divide it in half, and still say its strong. the same people can keep up with me smoking, no problem. i got a good brand e juice unit, and made my own juice after a little research. same thing, gave some juice to a friend, he said it knocked him out, same stuff barely touched me. and i know he's not a light weight.
just seems like the only really effective method for me is smoking. the rest if it is like having one shot, when you want 4 or 5....better than nothing, but not really satisfying

To be fair, vaping does the same to me. I mean, I'll get high off it but I've always got that feeling that I'm just not satisfied without smoking an abnormal amount. Problem is vaping makes me cough like no tomorrow so it's hard for me to sit down and have a proper session.

I use the half pack lid when alone. It's a nice amount. Also stops the little dead spot you sometimes get on the top with the full pack lid.

So I'm loving my CF. Only thing is it does concentrates terribly, which was expected.

I've got someone looking for a vape mainly for shatter and BHO. No dry herb. They were looking at the v2 series 7 as it does e-liquid as well and that's something they'd like to get into.

My question for you guys is what would be a better option? The v2 or something like a e cig mod with the yocan NYX so all they need to do is swap tanks for concentrates and e juice?

Dry herb isn't something they're interested in, they have a DBV for that and several other pieces.

Have you tried the concentrate pack?
It took a couple of times to get used to it, but the thing actually works if you give it plenty of time to warm up and don't overfill.
I vaped some bubble hash today that was far from "full melt" and it was tasty. Had to scrape some crust at the end, but no big deal.

The arizer solo is really nice. The reason I like it is you load these little glass straws and put them in the unit. The part cleans very well so you can always have the taste.
They have a digital one now and the old one has settings 1 to 7. The old ones are a pretty good value right now as they get rid of their old supply.

I have also used a utilian 720. It is great unless you put shatter in it and then it really plugs stuff inside of it. The plus side is it is ceramic and works good. The down side is it does not come apart well enough to really clean it. This is important because it will plug up your air holes over time and it is a pain to get a draw from it.

Of the ones I have used and owned i would get an arizer solo. Efficient and it works really well. Charge lasts a good while too.
Vape quality is exceptional (flavor is like the strain descriptions).

I am using a rosin vape now. The one i have (Evolve) sucks. It works but it is essential to have temperature control unless you want it to always be like hot knives :D

Next i think i will get a boundless just to see how they work.
Arizer Solo, Solo2 are both great vapes. The Solo OG is about 100 bucks these days. Great taste, all glass pathway. I like my Storz N Bickel Mighty for group sess, but by myself? The Solo

Yes, used it a couple of times. The concentrate seemed to last forever within it but it was the cleaning I didn't like. After a couple of fills my chamber, the draw path and the insert itself were super sticky. Will use it on the odd occasion but only if I know I will clean it all the next day.
