Price Range: Not 100% sure because I may hold off on this purchase for a few months. I'm thinking ~300 CAD/200 USD
# of Participants: Primarily solo, perhaps a friend or two sharing on occasion
Toking Routine: 1-2 solo stems a night edibles and cartridges on occasion.
Extraction Speed: Quicker is preferred, but I don't mind session style as I plan to use it on walks and the like.
Environment/Form: Smaller is better, I want this to be something I can pack, throw into a pocket and head out. I'm not worried about smell or discreetness when using, just something easy to carry.
Vape Experience: I have an Arizer Air which I retired for my Solo 2 (current daily driver) and a 2018 Dynavap M. The M is great for pocketing, but I do not like having to carry around a torch and I find the extraction takes too long for me to want to use it outdoors. Plus it looks sketchy as hell heating it up. I like my M, it's just not what I want for this purpose.
Personal Requests: Don't want butane because it doesn't fit how I want to use this vape. Longer battery life and/or swappable batteries. Low maintenance. This is a must. I'm coming from the Arizer/Dynavap side of things, those vapes take almost zero maintenance and I don't want to get into something that's going to need me cleaning it too frequently. Also I'd like to avoid having to stir, it kind of defeats the purpose of a pocketable vape imo.
Priority: Pocketability > Low maintenance > Aesthetics > Vapor Quality >>>>>>>>> everything else
Location: Canada
I was kind of thinking of a Pax as I honestly really like the look of them and the biggest complaints I see are poor value for money (relative to other vapes) and only so-so vapor quality. I can live with the first one, the second one is making me reconsider. I've also got zero interest in doing concentrates out of this vape so I was thinking the Pax 2 might be a better buy, but the difference is only 50 CAD so if the small changes to the 3 are worth it I wouldn't mind making the jump.
Other devices I've considered are the Xmax Starry, Arizer ArGo and Fury Edge. Really, they all seem to be superior to the Pax devices in some capacity at equivalent or lower prices. The only thing is I don't think any are as aesthetically pleasing.
I am not very informed on the 510 on demand units. They do seem interesting, I'd love some opinions on them and whether they would fit the needs outlined in my post.
Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this and help out!
Edit: I was thinking about it, and it occurs to me a Pax (or any conduction vape) would likely require stirring, which is not something I want to be doing on the go. So I guess that can be added into the list.
Edit 2: Decided to go with the ArGo in the end. Supposed to be here soon, hopefully before the weekend. Pretty hyped.
