pens are more for 'on the go'. I have a omicron from delta9 vapes. They have lots of different attachments for it.

I wouldn't use it at my house though. I have a Dave Goldstein fritted disc perc. I also have one of those swinging titanium arm bubblers. The goldstein has GREAT filtration and is my favorite so far, but I'm only a novice with a couple toys.


ps: There is a LONNNGGG thread in the concentrate section which the guy lists mostly all the ways to smoke concentrate. He was saying the best is to use some sort of 'heat wand', which in reality is an adjustable temperature ceramic tip soldering iron, and to keep it at about 300 degrees. Just place the concentrate on top of a small layer of greens in a bowl on your bong and hit it that way

i know they are usually on the go but i have 3 story condo and i have to go the bottm level garage to get medicated . another use would be to cut down my usuage and i cannot buy a vocano and i got waterpipe with the shitty glass with plastic not glass on glass.

i guess what im trying say is a vape for waxes and flowers not just wax it self and thanks guys really apricate it

I've burned through a cloud 2.0..
I have also killed a few of the $20 china knockoffs.

Just watch out, it will increase your tolerance if you become a regular user. Not bad if you make your own bho...but otherwise seems to expensive at the prices I see out there.

Buddy goes through 10g a month now...and has went back to smoking his flowers...so it has gotten expensive for him...

When I lived with my parents who didn't want me smoking to say the least, I was able to use a oil rig in my room without them smelling it in the next room over. When I learned that I smoked wayyy more than I used to and stopped smoking greens all together for a couple of months.

To answer your question, the vapes that are for flowers and oil aren't that good. I know the Atmos Raw was supposed to be for both, but instead of vaping the flowers it actually burns them and creates smoke. What ever you decide to purchase, make sure you google search it first and read reviews. It can save you lots of money.

I bought the vapor dab about a year ago. I use it everyday all day. It has never broken and works like a dream. I still have $500 glass pieces that dont hardly get used except when company is over. I dont like other people to put their mouth on my vape pen. Hope this helps. I highly reccommend this product.

thank you mr gt very useful and yes i saw a atmos pen sopposly it
cleans easily and my price would be 80 bucks out the door.
and if it burns the flowers i dont mind . but what i

care about is being reliable . and yes i want to stop using greens for month or so so vaping may be my solution .

i have a vapair that i bought in 09 but its mediocre at best and the rings broke over time . so i stop using vaporizors all together.

I haven't found a vape pen yet that does a good job with flowers. I stick with my Extreme Q (non-portable vape) for flowers. I've read good things about the Arizer Solo, just haven't tried it yet.

This little vape pen changed my life last year. :) Vaping hash with this is just better than smoking or using a big plug-in vaporizer. I'm trying to mix it up more these days, but when I got this I ended up vaping hash almost exclusively for a few months. It works on the go; it works on the couch or in bed just as well.

It's so good that I ended up turning most of the last harvest (over a pound of bud) into hash oil. I'm getting ready to do that with the new harvest too.
 
I use mine for hash oil not flowers. It works great. I paid $100 for the set. Came with a tool kit to scrape bho and extra vape igniter. I still am using the original and smoke about 15 times a day off it. Best $100 ive spent in quite awhile.

I have one of the same vape setups that nkatadelgormo is showing also. While it does work, the bowl portion only holds a small amount. I bought this attachment the other day. It has a much larger bowl. Got it for $30usd.

what he said... i find it easier to take dabs than to have to load a pen. once its loaded its a breeze but... i guess i just like dabbing more. maybe its the ritual thing?

My friend has a CHOZEN VAPE. I never even thought about a vape pen before because I like smoking flowers. His does any material. It did great with some flowers in it. I liked it enough to order one.

I was hoping it would be here today so I could use it. It didn't get here yet. It should be here tomorrow. They have a website by the same name all one word then dot com. The site is nice.

They have replacement pieces for every part of it. Even if something happened you wouldn't be out a whole vape pen. They have a group called Slightly Stupid connected to them. Yeah I know it isn't snoop dogg but that pan has a lot of bad reviews.

They had a lot of colors already sold out. It is so new I didn't see any reviews. I bought it soley on how my friends worked. But he has had it only a short while so long term is unknown.

This one has a display that has a puff counter, battery charge indicator and new battery indicator. It also is ceramic and the weed taste was clean. A few other kind I tried especially the snoop dogg one had a plastic taste.

I do love my joints and bong though at home. This will be nice for road trips though. I might puff it at home too.

When I get it I will post some pictures. This should be interesting with the advancement of vape pens over the next few years.

so i purchased a atmost rx hi vape bloom *silver pen" it came with attachments like cleaning tool packing tool and a 2nd heating chamber . i got it for 82 bucks with 1 gram of wax that i broke up to multiple pieces .

all in all it was not the model i was looking for *but for the price that i got for both the wax and pen i think it was worth it. i removed the spring so it woudlnt get wax on it but i think i cannot put spring back

it makes a burnt noise like its defective though . maybe a bad batch?

That sounds like one of those cheap $15 knockoffs and $50 for the wax. It isn't a bad deal because you got the wax and basically a disposable vape pen. It should let you know if you like vaping but it isn't going to be something to judge quality vape pens with.

The cheap knockoffs seem to have the plastic taste to me.

Heri those solo pens are huge and it takes a herculean effort to draw the vapor out of them. The draw is very hard. Vape pens are made to travel and the solo is also fragile.

I haven't gotten my pen yet. It didn't ship when I thought it did though. They ran out of the color I ordered. They ask if I would except the Slightly Stupid logo pen with the fancy artwork. I excepted so it was sent. Hopefully today or tomorrow.

Stock stem, yes.Fragile, no. Portable, yes.

Pens are only good for concentrates. The solo is the best for flowers/bud.

Vape pens are all the rage out here in CA!

This type of pen is highly rated. Even Snoop dog has his own signature brand on it.

http://www.grencoscience.com/

I tried a similar one (different name), but same quality, and was very impressed. First vape pen that actually worked for me!

Always check what each pen will take. Some take only flowers, some only concentrates and some both.

Perhaps the most important factor in quality and usability is the BATTERY!

The stronger the battery the more likely it will work well and last longer, but it will be more expensive. Try to get something with at least 1000 mAh or close to it. Some go to 2000 mAh, esp. if you are using it for oil.

You should also price replacement parts as often the heating element/container needs to be replaced within a couple of months. So battery and element replacement costs should be considered.

I like that someone pointed out how addictive it is, and how much product you use. I can understand why ppl go back to smoking flowers.

The people I see who are vaping all the time are somewhat weirded out...don't know if it's due to other things (like caffeine) or the addiction.

But it does get you very high if you use good product!

And don't buy cheap chinese ripoffs. You will be disappointed.
