  • Some things to consider

    1. Budget
    2. Portable or Desktop
    3. Battery operated or analog (using Torch or Induction Heater)
    4. Ripper (on-demand) or sipper (session)?
    5. Convection / Conduction / Hybrid

    For battery powered:

    Tinymight 2 is my current favorite vape for its size, speed, power, ecosystem. I can use it with my water pipe and rip it like a bong, or hit it dry through a j hook, etc. There is a very small learning curve.

    Mighty+ is a good session vape that is consistent and reliable. There is no learning curve. You need to be ready to commit to 3 minute session of slowly sipping on it. It is a great vape as a session vape, but if you’re looking to take a hit or two do stuff for a few hours and repeat, TM2 all the way. It’s large, but that’s because it has 2 batteries and a screen. The crafty+ is the little sibling with one battery, no screen.

    POTV Xmax v3 is okay for the price point, but if you spend a little more, you can get a better class vape. This sits in my drawer, but I might take it out for biking because i don’t care if it breaks.

    Dynavap is worth a mention as a cheap analog vape that can make huge clouds. There is also a huge ecosystem for it, and it’s interoperable with some other vapes ecosystems.

  • What does it matter if it came from a friend?

    I have an otherwise intelligent friend, well educated and runs many successful businesses. Casually during a conversation, he pulls put a fryd vape and starts smoking it. I educated him on the potential risks.

    He was completely oblivious to the risks. The veneer provided by legit looking packaging, websites, store fronts lure the consumer into a false sense of security.

    These gray market vapes contain boof juice that’s has zero form of regulation on what you’re inhaling into your lungs.

    Legal dispensaries require very strict tracking, testing, regulation, enforcement.


  • Rule of thumb is to not trust any vape you didn’t buy at a legal dispensary.

    Fake packaging, and even prefilled fakes can be purchased in bulk online.

    You only get one set of lungs. The mediocre high you might get isn’t worth the potential long term damage.

    If you can source clean concentrate, you can learn to fill your own with a few basic items. Much safer than BM carts.

    /r/fakecartridges on reddit has a lot more info, I’m not sure what the lemmy equivalent is.
