you really can’t beat mighty+, i’ve been using mighty/crafty exclusively for about 8 years and im constantly disappointed by every other dry flower vape i’ve ever tried in comparison

Unconventional but I highly recommend the combo of dynavap + ispire wand. Should be under your price and:

• dynavaps are basically indestructible and easy to clean, heated by any source, like a lighter
• the ispire wand is an induction heater, which is better than normal thermal, and it has standard replaceable (and USB chargeable) batteries. So you in theory never need to buy a new device

I recently purchased a POTV Xmax pro V3 and quite like it. it has a replaceable battery, an 18650, can charge with USB C. easy temperature control, heats up in about a minute. the chamber and battery both have magnetic attachments so it's easy to change weed or battery, they could be stronger but haven't fallen off during normal use for me. I paid less than 100 USD and think it's worth what I payed.

I just got a Firewood 9 and damn that cherry smells good

What kind of user would you consider yourself? Do you prefer longer sessions or quick extractions?

Portables have come a long way and there are multiple types of heating methodology. Some are faster or slower than others but offer smoother hits or larger chambers, etc.

You might already have something picked out, but for potential future reader I’m reviving this thread a little to add another good word for the Healthy Rips vapes. In an effort to deep, deep, clean (I’m talking definitely voiding any warranty type deep) my old piece I killed the power button. Even though I had a few issues with the design of the vape, I ordered a new one with little hesitation as I liked the first more than anything else I’ve tried. Plus, it lasted me 5+ years and way exceeded my expectations for price compared to how much “material” was put through it in its lifetime.

When I got the new one I was pleasantly surprised they in the years since buying the original, almost all of my design issues were addressed and I’d now recommend the vape even more so.

Since you are used to a electronic dry herb vapes try out a dynavap and see if you like the torch/induction type vape. Its a completely different experience with its own ups and downs compared to an electronic vape. My first vape was the arizer air max and if you like the electronic vapes I recommend it, especially with the big stem with carb that sneaky Pete sells.

Arizer. Solid Canadian company, they've been making vaporizers for two decades, and they have a wide selection of different types.

My (original) Arizer Air has gotten more use than I'm willing to admit over the past 5 years, and while it's starting to show its age, but still working without a hitch. If it gave out tomorrow, I'd go order the new Air (2? Max? not certain) with USB-C charging and a digital display, although neither of those features are essential!

My favorite recommendation to beat the mighty without the price is the angus ruby edition. Lots of powerful upgrades since its inception.

At $170 full retail there’s nothing that comes close at the price point if you ask me!

I got a b0 ball vape two years ago and literally have never used any of my other vapes since. It will be my tool of choice likely until the day I die, and because of the materials and build quality it will likely outlast me anyways

I know a lot of some people are chiming in and saying Arizer. I've had a Airizer Max for over 6 months now. It is without a doubt the worst vape I own. The airway path is constantly feeling like it's plugged with or without the screen. The glass chamber is hellish to keep clean which is another tick against it. It's like fighting a clogged pipe every time I try to take a drag compared to any other vape I've used.

My very first vape was a Healthy Rips Edge and besides it's small chamber it was an excellent piece of kit and unless they've changed since the 5 years ago that I had it I'd have no problems recommending anything by Healthy Rips. I also had a Utillian 722, which got the job done but wasn't very good for temperature adjustment it always seemed to be just on the edge of burning the herb no matter what temperature setting.

Since then I've had 2 S&B Mighty+. One of which started throwing errors after two plus years of use five times a day. Two emails with the Storz and Bickel warranty team and they sent me a brand new one in box no questions asked. That experience is what pushed me over the edge to try the Venty even though the damn thing was too expensive for my taste.

Just by coincidence my new Venty came today and I'll be trying that out after dinner. I have a wide variety of vapes and if you're willing to spend a little extra do yourself a favor and get a Storz and Bickel. They cost a little extra just starting out but they're worth it in the long run. My suggestion is try to find some older stock Crafty if it's something you'd like to try without dropping too big of a bundle.
