interesting...I agree that I am turned off by the fact that it is made of plastic, you will still get oil/residue in the mouthpiece, and I can imagine the plastic will absorb the smell, and then it won't be very discreet.
The pen vape I have is metal and glass, so it's super easy to clean. I would probably go for a Pax before this one.
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
I like my Pax, but the battery life (for me) is just average, also the frequent cleaning that's needed is a major bummer.
(Crafty Vape) Ya the plastic is a bit of a turn off, but the mouth piece and chamber on the volcano is made up of a plastic also and it's been pretty sweet.

I vape on the High Setting (mostly), clean every 4-5 sessions, each session being (approx) 3-5 (loaded) ovens. (I guess it also depends how clean you like your devices)
By the way - for those who aren't too familiar with vaporizing and THC extraction... THC is activated by heat, and is fat soluble. When you smoke, much of the THC is activated, combusted, converted to carbon, and what you end up inhaling is not all of the THC content (because it is now carbon). When you make edibles, the core premise is to dissolve your weed in a heated fat (oil or butter) to extract and trap the THC. When you vaporize, you have more control the heat: since the activation temperature of THC is below combustion temperature, you can simply extract the THC, inhale, and you yourself are the fat which it dissolves in.
The two main advantages of vaporizing: -Numerous chemicals tend to have activation temperatures close to combustion temperatures - so if your weed is sprayed, vaporizing or cooking have less of a chance of activating these chemical additives used during the growing or drying phase -The THC -> Carbon conversion prior to inhalation means that much of it is converted from something that gets you high, to something that's known to raise your chances of developing cancer. So, you're actually wasting much of the THC you're paying for when you smoke.

I might just wait to see what else comes on the market. I'd like to use said products before I commit spending so much money on a unit.
Wonder if the shops here have testers...

This is a great idea! The one I bought a few months ago has sat in our catchall paraphernalia tin after my trying to use it a few times. It just wouldn't "take". Couldn't get anything out of it.
I'd be willing to invest in a more expensive product if I knew it were consistent.

I bought my first vape because they had some dried herbs (not MJ) for me to try the unit out, so I knew how it worked, I got a feel for it. The other vendors didn't have any testing units, they just flip-flapped the units in their hands really fast, "just open here, pack here, close it up like this, then push this button..." One guy wouldn't even let me hold the thing in my hand, so I walked away while he was giving his schpeel.
I did go to several vape stores, and asked them questions. Then I went on the webby world and found a very useful forum. I still would like to try out the pax, davinci, MLFB, and crafty. then I think I would be able to make an informed decision and be happy with it.

The guy at my dispensary (where I bought mine) didn't rush me through the explanation or anything - they're thorough on all fronts, no rushing. Fortunately it was a relatively small price to pay for the lesson learned. Do more research!
that is my favorite, I also go to grasscity.com to compare reviews/info

Hahahaha...I do an....one oven every 3-4 weeks. I love my Pax. I'm a 1-2 puff smoker anymore...just to catch a buzz. My Pax sits on my coffee table. Have lots of people over, nobody has ever questioned it. Hehe
