I've had a cheaper (around 120) one and have enjoyed it. Can use the already vaped bud to make edibles. Just like anything else, there are a lot of varieties and price ranges.

Peace

I haven’t used it in awhile. It has the advantage of portability, but there’s no disguising the scent. It’s also hard to get scrupulously clean, as I like. I typically don’t use flower in semi-public places, preferring to vape concentrate instead. At home, I use a small water pipe, adding just enough for 2-3 hits. The dry herb vaporizer doesn’t get used much now.

I enjoy the flavor and taste of dry vaping flower. You can distinguish the tastes of different weed, and all you are inhaling is the vaporized THC.

I found them a bit fiddley to use, but newer ones might be better. I've transitioned to exclusively using a vape pen. My lungs and throat were getting tired of proper smoke.

I've been using the Pax vaporizer since it was invented. I can't do vape pens, something about the carts makes me breakout in a rash, plus bad head-trips. I can't recommend Pax highly enough. 10-year warranty, most discreet vape on the market, easy to clean, fun to use. A real winner.

..i would get one hit and then it would plug up.

I finally stuck it in the drawer and forgot about it. I have friends however that use it exclusively..

Maybe its too late for this thread for you, but I'd recommend it. After researching, I made the choice for this model. Beautiful design. I like it better than the Arizer Air I had been using. Easier to draw because of a bigger chamber and more perforations in the metal.

Has cool add ons. like a mini water pipe attachment. Coloured glass. Turn on and set the temperature with an led screen. It vibrates in your hand to know its ready.

It’s manual dry herb vaporizer no batteries and very discreet and very low cost, entry level $49. Very little vapor escapes, at first I didn’t think I was doing it correctly, but the clean high I got said otherwise. Absolutely no odor. My adult kids don’t care if we, my wife and I, indulge but they don’t like the smell even the lingering odor on your clothes after smoking outside. This vape doesn’t bother them at all.
Biggest plus for me is the non electric aspect I always have a torch laying around but a lot of time I’m not around electricity.
But that vaporizer with its switchable batteries looks good. Cost is a little more than I wanted to spend.
But thanks for the info. It looks like a good one.

I've never used a torch style vaporizer. Good point about the convenience of not relying on a charged battery. Some of these can get expensive. I look at it as an investment in something I use daily. So I'm okay with spending that much. There are other more well known brands like Mighty that are double that cost that do much the same thing. I do like the temperature control in a battery powered device, setting it to your preferred heat setting. The battery is fine for me as one charge is enough for one day of use, as I usually don't start until the early evening.

Amazing though in my lifetime, probably yours too, how things have shifted in acceptance of cannabis. And the sheer amount of choice now we have for delivery devices.

It sure is! Times have certainly changed.
At 71 I’ve been using since my teens. I started seriously cultivating cannabis in the mid 80’s. During those days everything was super stealth, outside or in a heated garage. We used to know what feed corn fields the farmers didn’t pay much attention to and planted between the corn rows, harvests were about the same time. God awful stuff. Seeds from mostly bag pot on rare occasions we got ‘good’ seeds through a friend.

Now…grow tents, awesome lighting, online help, Autoflowers, seed banks, legality.

Use now mostly for medicinal purposes. Don’t get me wrong still love a good buzz! I make Raw Cannabis Tinctures and creams to relieve inflammation and the effects of arthritis.

AVB (already vaped bud) is awesome for teas, tinctures, edibles. As long as it’s not combusted it doesn’t even smell bad. I sprinkled about an eighth teaspoon on my peanut toast this morning felt great all day.

Times have certainly changed!
