These are questions many off you have already heard and are important to spread knowledge about to new users.
If you are a bong ripper a vaporizer that works easy with a bong is the best idea. On a budget Xmax V4 pro, not on a budget Arizer solo 3 v2. Set temp higher than 200 C (392 F) to max temp and rip that thing.
If you are a joint or blunt smoker. On a budget POTV One or POTV Lobo (HR Rogue or HR Fury, in Europe Wolkenkraft Aris, Fenix pro, they all resemble) maybe another (cooling) stem there are many choices. Not on a budget S&B Venty. Start at about 180 C to 185 C (355 F to 365 F) take slow not to longue draws so the flavor rest a long time, enjoy, untill almost no more vapor left than set temp to 193 C to 199 C (380 F to 390 F) to finish.
This is my humble opinion to have a good start off your journey in the world of vaporizers.
As a general rule you do get what you pay for in the vaporizer world. Don’t make the same mistake I made and started trying to vape on the cheap. It nearly sent me back to smoking. My Tinymight 2 saved the day. Venty also a good performer for session mode, versatility and repeatability which is real important for me as a medical user. I guess the answer depends on how you are planning to use the device and the experience you are looking for. Thats the great thing about vaping - you get to choose an experience because everything is under control - unlike smoking which is kind of binary.
You have a valid point, I share your opinion about better don’t try to vape on the cheap. I also did make that mistake. But not everybody has the budget to start with a vaporizer like the Tinymight 2 I remember my first one, I was just curious what vaping was all about. I gave it away after a few weeks and bought a good one. So the cheaper options have their place
@Sabina The flip side of that is the number of folks that buy that POS smoke shop vape, and spend the rest of their lives talking about how they tried it once and it sucked.
More importantly to many is that I easily spent more on crap vapes than what the Mighty+ that got me off combustion cost. Today we have decent vapes at $100, maybe less.
That’s why I started this thread, so that people who are new to vaporizers don’t make the same mistakes lot’s of us did. After my first mistake I bought a S&B Crafty that served me well many years and I didn’t went back to smoking
V4 pro is great the POTV one mine tastes like burnt electronics tried reviewing one but POTV never bothered responding to my request for a new one. Pretty much ended any shopping I do with them same thing happened with my Bowle 2 doa and Tafee took care of it. Idk what changed with POTV but last year customer service has been shit
Just once I had a problem with a vaporizer, the original mighty. S&B send me a new one right away. Btw I like your channel, even if your vaping style is opposite of mine
Appreciate it, the style of vaping really makes whether a review fits a person but I watch a few reviewers that vape differently always appreciate the insight. Just for me if its to light its a struggle to want to use it
Not many people are going to pay premium $ for their first vape but they can get a good one for not too much. The lobo is the obvious one. Saw they had it for $127 for 4/20. Sounds like the v4 might be another one. Honestly, POTV might be the way for smokers who want to see if vaping is for them.
I have loved my Lobo well for over a couple years now and just recently got the V4 Pro. Been running it through its paces for a few days and must say it’s a nice improvement over the V3 Pro which was my first love. They are very similar though so either version is great. For a first vape a V3 Pro can be found for a very affordable $70 or so but the V4 would be a worthy upgrade for about $110. For a first vape any of the 3 would be a great start.
As a former bong user I took to the quartz cap like a fish to water. I didn’t even think to first get an electronic vape to use with a bong. Would just go with quartz cap or terpcicle depending on if your bong has a vertical or angled joint.
When I got into vaping last year, it had been a few decades since I had any THC in my system, except for gummies, which was a year or so before that, so to my surprise, these wonderful vapes were now on the market since I wasn’t sure what I was looking for. I went with the healthy rips fury 3, and I was hooked, and a month or so later I picked up the solo 3v2 and then a couple of dynavaps and then the tafee bowle 2. So, healthy rips are a great entry point, and they’re not too expensive
I just started vaping this year after doing oil carts for a year or so. Used to smoke a lot back in the day but not for a long time. Ran across dhv looking at 510 batteries but didn’t really get it. When I had my physician call for my med card the doctor mentioned that smoking the weed is technically illegal and that you’re supposed to vape it. That’s when I really started looking into it. When I was ready to buy a vape I wound up buying a solo 3 but I was already committed to not smoking. Just made no sense to use my medicine in a way that would cause me more problems in the long term.
If your brand new, the Mighty is a great choice..set it to 410° & rip away..adjust temps accordingly..it’s a very dependable vape & it can take a fall & keep on going..
If you have the money to spend, and you are new to vaping, this is indeed a perfect choice. But most beginners don’t want to spend that kind of money on something they don’t know they will like.
It definitely is a great beginner vape and I wish I knew about it before I bought the pathfinder and other Amazon vapes that had to be sent back.
The only thing is I would not recommend it to someone just getting into vaping as the price of it and you need to buy charger separate. If the person asking did not care about cost then yes it is a great first vape.
I will never forget how bad those Amazon vapes and how amazed I was when I got my Arizer EQ. I never even knew how to work it at first and just started trying to do bags without even letting it heat up and thinking it was not working.
I know most of us here already know the information we are sharing in this thread. However, people new to vaping will read this, and some who have never vaped before will join and need to know this as this is the very first thing people ask and need to know.
