Lol, I should check in here more often.

I just use a triple flame torch with the Dani. Bit of a butane hog tbh, even compared to my other butane vapes but it just hits so nice!

BAKx and sticky brick are pretty different actually, the former is mostly conduction heat, the latter full convection. The BAKx is basically an electronic vaponic on steroids.

Nothing new over the holidays but I finally got off my ass and sent my BAKx (which I got in early 2023) in for repair. Still mostly using the Dani Fusion right now, I bought that in September or October I believe. Both great vapes, looking forward to getting my bak back soon!

Venti certainly looks interesting although people also love mighty and crafty which were both pretty underwhelming to me when I tried them with friends.

Right now I'm pretty happy with where my collection is although there are always more vapes I'd like to try. Gonna go back to my one new vape per year after splurging on two last year (finishing uni and getting my first big boy job was a good excuse to treat myself a bit).

V3p is a great budget pick, I like mine as beater vape I can bring anywhere. Great stealth factor too since people just assume it's some kinda ecig. Not using it at home though, I got plenty more interesting options for home use. Mostly been doing Dyna half bowls since I got back from vacation, boutta hit a full dani bowl once I'm home from work.

Hitting three weeks of no cannabis in 2 days. I'm on a long vacation in countries with very strict drug laws, so I decided I wouldn't go search for it and just take the opportunity for the first long break in many many years. Looking forward to hitting some super light bowls and getting baked af from them once I get home at the end of this week though, ngl!

Nice, nothing I'm particularly interested in personally but it's good to see more options in the mid priced section pop up! Any reason to recommend it to people who want to get their feet wet over a V3 Pro for example?

I wasn't exactly accurate with my statement tbf, the capsules I have are for the Fenix mini, one of the bazillion fury clones. Bought from verdampftnochmal (German shop). I imagine they work well for conduction vapes. Not at home rn but I'll try to remember to send you a pic!

The ones I have are pretty thick metal, lid screws on and they have holes on the side. Those suck because they take a long time to heat up. The V3 ones have no holes on the sides, only top and bottom and they are much lighter/thinner walls, so much better for convection.

Yeah, it clicks (once, not twice like a Dyna). The click is very early for my taste but counting to ~3-6 after the click works well for big tasty clouds. That is when heating it with a triple flame torch which is my preferred method so far. Single flame takes way too long. Something with a bigger flame like a crème brullée torch might work aswell. I think some induction heaters can also handle it, but I'm not 100% sure about that. My DIY one is too weak.

Love mine as a beater vape for taking with me everywhere. Vape + 5 dosing caps usually lasts me well for a day/evening out, it doesn't take up a lot of space and people don't give you a second look when using it in public because they assume it's some kind of e-cig. And it extracts well and tastes okayish for most of the sesh.

Wouldn't use it at home, but I got a sizeable collection of great vapes to choose from. For someone with low budget, it'd be feasible as only vape too I imagine!

Pro tip - Fury Edge/POTV One capsules fit the oven on the Xmax v3 Pro.

That's true, but they don't work very well in my experience (the ones I have at least). There are dedicated v3 Pro dosing caps that are lighter weight and have no holes on the sides that work much much better.

Beautiful piece! Didn't know there was already a fw9, seems people weren't that enthused about the 8

Oh yeah, I have one (original US maple version). I can't say I've ever really mastered it, but I get it out every now and then and sometimes I get really great sessions out of it.

I gotta step up my torch game though, not really happy on that front yet. I got a lot of great butane vapes that deserve better than the shitty, inconsistent, small flames gas station torches I got. So if you got any recommendations there, I'm all ears!

Thanks! I'm a sucker for devices that look great and have great tactile feedback. The more analogue, the better aswell. Those tick all my boxes :D

Yeah they got the normal Dani (I think v3 is the current one?) and the Fusion. V3 is more conduction, closer to a Dyna in terms of what kind of hit you get supposedly. Fusion is mostly convection. I think I'll get a V3 tip too down the line (just the tip - should fit the same stems afaik).

Any tips you can share? Just got it in today!

Awesome pic, looks like a great day! Welcome over here, it's still very quiet for now, but it's a very chill vibe so far :)

Bought the vaponic as my first vape when I was like 17, then a mflb when I was 19 or 20. Used the mflb regularly but still continued smoking as main means of consumption. Then I bought a Dyna in 2018 and fully switched to vaping. That really kicked it off for me, now I own like 10+ different vapes and a few extra Dyna setups, aswell as a few different glass options and all kinds of adapters and shit. Most of which I bought between '18 and '21.

I used to collect it but ended up never using it because it just made me sleepy af without much of a recreational high. Just made me feel too weak and heavy to move basically. I have no issue with sleeping normally, so it's not for me.

Made relatively low dosed cookies for two different relatives who couldn't sleep anymore due to pain while they waited for their respective surgeries and for them it was a godsend in that situation.

Honestly, I sometimes start pretty low temp to get the most out of the terps, but I always finish on high temps. For bong rips, I go high temp straight away.

As for this chart - there's been much debate around it, the accuracy is questionable at best. As soon as you have multiple compounds with different boiling points, it goes out of the window anyway because that changes the boiling points of all substances in the mix.

Definitely!

V3 wins for on the go use. Its form factor is close enough to an e-cig that nobody gives me a second look and I've even used it in very crowded places without issue. It extracts a bit faster, has a replaceable battery, is relatively easy to clean and has a sturdy, high class feel to it that you wouldn't expect from a budget device.

That said, the solo 2 easily blows it out of the water in terms of flavour and smoothness of the vapor. It also extracts a bit more thoroughly. I wouldn't pick up the V3 over it at home on the couch. A bowl takes a bit more time (with my use about 5 min for the V3 vs 10 minutes for the solo 2). It's even easier to clean and the battery capacity is massive. I've used mine almost daily for about 4 years, only since I got the BAK it's getting a bit less use and a charge still lasts for 10+ bowls.

Ultimately it's a question of your use case, if you wanna bring it with you and use it out and about a lot, go V3, otherwise solo 2.
