I have read mixed things about the Chinese vaporizers, but they are really my only option due to monetary constraints.
If I get one with a ceramic coil, what are the positives and negatives to it? I obviously would like to get a more expensive one, but that simply cannot be done. Will these work? I have heard some people say that they work just fine, but a lot of people(Who I frankly think might just be snobs) say negative things about them.
At the end of the day, I'd frankly just like to be high. That's what really matters.

How much can you spend on a vape?

If you need to spend less than 60 bucks, go with a VaporGenie. At least you're going to get a vape that has an excellent warranty and a vape that will work, and a vape that you can guarantee is not made with any toxic materials.

That's problematic, because I want a wand vape for my room.
I'm not sold on the toxin thing. The part that is heating up, which is where the concern would come from is just ceramic and glass. There is no plastic or anything heating up. And just because China has used iffy material before doesn't mean all their stuff is toxic.

Ok, then................nevermind, 'cause I obviously have no idea what I'm talking about.
So let me refer you to a place where people do know what they are talking about..........fuckcombustion.com. I suggest to go there and ask those that are a helluva lot more knowledgeable about vapes than I.
btw, I do agree that not all vapes made in China is made with iffy materials, or that they are of inferior design, but Noble products is not one of them.

btw, asking for an honest opinion, but then qualifying your request by saying that all those that say negative things about Noble vapes are snobs, is nothing but a very loaded question designed to elicit what you REALLY want to hear, which is a positive response.
If you're going to label those that think possibly that Noble products are inferior as snobs, than what you should also do is label those that think that Noble products are good, as misinformed. At least that way, you are not loading your question to elicit a response that does nothing but support a predetermined opinion............if ya get my drift.

You're right, I do apologize if my wording came off as snide. Snob was obviously an incorrect term. I was mostly curious if the main reason people didn't like them was because if they were unsafe, or if people just didn't like their simplistic design(Which not with vaporizer per say, but I do know people who get very smug about simple designs for bongs, bowls, or other smoking devices that do not meet their qualifications.)
I do not want to come across as an asshole, and I wasn't just looking for someone to say only what I wanted to hear, and again, I am sorry for this.
I have written the Noble off the list now, but I did just find a good deal on a VaporCannon. Are those functional/safe to use?

The only two issues I've found is there is no warranty and many have inaccurate digital settings .I assume you can figure out the risk of buying any off named product with out a warranty.As for the temp settings ,they are rarely calibrated so don't assume the number displayed is anything other than a reference point and you'll be fine,or get a infra-red temp gauge from any decent sized auto parts store (you can find them for $12-20) if getting the exact right temp is important to you.
I still have my first vape a $40 Chinese model.I don't use it much but it still works fine.If you can wait a reasonable amount of time and get a better vape like a volcano,purple days,Da Buddha,silver surfer or something like that ...it will be worth the wait,but if not the knock offs work.
(edit Iwein123 ,what was your opinion of the vaporstar you had?)

To be honest, I only tried it out a few times before I sold it and never really climbed over the learning curve, so I don't really think that I can give you a valid opinion, other than this. For me, efficiency is really important, and is the reason why my PD is my daily workhorse. The bowl on the VapoStar, by comparison, is huge, and would really require a lot more bud to at least just cover the screen to get a few decent hits, so for me, due to it's lack of comparable efficiency, it just didn't work out. If however, efficiency wasn't at the top of my priority list, than I would have given myself more time with it to learn how to use it properly. All vapes have a learning curve, and the VaporStar isn't an exception here. Lots of people like it though.

I ended up getting an Easy Vape. One of my friends had one of them, and I used it frequently. I borrowed it from him a few times, so am very familiar with the functionality of it. I will post a review as soon as I get some bud.

Got me so stoned I forgot. :stoned:
For the price, it's very nice. It is very easy to use, works VERY well, conserves a lot of bud(Half a G of dank solo will get you fucked). Great purchase. I recommend it to any stoner on a budget.

Did you order it locally or online? I've been meaning to try one for the longest, but a Volcano, (which I was under the impression was one of the best), is too much money to experiment on, and I thought all the other cheap ones didn't really work.

I got it online, but, uhhhh can't remember where. It's good for solo vaping. The whip is kinda short, so it can make it tricky to pass it between multiple people unless you are all sitting close. However, it really is great for the price.

There are a considerable number of good quality, low priced vapes (under $200) available, and there have been for some years now. The Easy Vape is decent, although the true warranty status is iffy when you buy one under $100 on eBay. In general though, digital displays are best avoided under about $300, as far as accuracy and reliability.

The accuracy thing doesn't bother me that much. I know that when I set it to 346 it's not ACTUALLY 346, but it's still a slight indicator. Kind of like non-digital vapes, you don't know the exact temp, but it's kind of guess work.
My thing with any piece of any sort, so long as it gets me high I'm good to go :jointsmile:
