Conduction is not used by any quality vapes. Those are 'hot plate vapes', where the herb sits on a hot metal surface and only the part in contact with the hot metal gets cooked. These are your dome, globe looking vapes-like a gumball dispenser. This type was my first vape and believe me, it doesn't compare to even the cheapest convection vape.Quote:

You just have to be careful when cleaning the heat chamber. Clean with an alcohol soaked cotton swab but turn it upside down to make sure no liquid gets down below the chamber into the guts of the unit. The mouthpiece and stem are teflon, quite safe at the temps used, and also cleaned with alcohol. It's much, much easier to clean than the Volcano, which has more parts in the vapor path.
You can use it for direct draw hits as well, but it doesn't compare to a good whip vape in this mode. Great for a quick one hit, since it heats up fast, but hits are thin compared to the rich hits you can get from a vape like the SSV.
IMO there is no 2nd best vape, because there is no 'best vape' period. Although herbalAire is just as efficient as the Volcano, if not more so, neither one is the best vape if you don't want your vapor from a bag. A vape like the SSV (or even a basic box like the Vaporwarez) is just as efficient at getting all the good stuff vaped, it just takes more care and effort. There's definitely a learning curve for the direct draw method. And the $500 digital whip vapes give even more consistency and temp control than the analog whip units. I know people who have owned the Volcano and Super Vapezilla or Vaporfection, and some prefer the whip unit while others prefer the cano. I don't like to compare a bag vape to a whip vape. It's apples and oranges. The big difference is the convenience and ease of filling bags vs. the thick vapor you can get from a good whip unit. Sure not every hit is thick vapor. But the ones that are can be very satisfying. And yeah you can get very dense vapor in a bag, but the vapor to air ratio is still higher with a lot of whip units. Personally, I'm hooked on both methods, so I'm glad I can afford both types of vaporizer. :D
I am extremely dissappointed that GotVape.com will not stand behind the "guaranteed" warranty they promise on their site. Ordering from this site will likely result in you receiving a "rebuilt" product, and a loss of $$$.
I assure all of you, I AM NOT A VAPORIZER RETAILER, and have no hidden agenda here. I am merely warning all of you that Gotvape.com is not the place you want to order from. Don't be fooled by the promises on the site of "discounts" and "warranties". I am out $300 on a product that WILL NOT function properly.
Their female sales rep talked me out of a $500 vape, insisting I would enjoy the $300 vape more. Since I had explained $$ wasn't an issue, her insistance convinced me that there was something she knew about one of the vapes that I didn't. I then ordered the one for $300. It works like SH*T! I have used many vaporizers, and this one JUST DIDN"T WORK!
Now, Cori Febres, their Customer Relationship Manager, has refused to exchange the vape for any other type. This is "against policy". No $$ can be returned, because "that's against policy". They will send you another "rebuilt" vaporizer. That's it. THAT is there policy, and 45 minutes of politely pleading on the phone won't help. She laughed at me when I finally mentioned using a "chargeback" on my credit card, challenging me to try.
I own 2 businesses, therefore, know how "policies" are enacted, and how customer service is acheived. Certain circumstances require special measures due to the situation. If I had chosen the cheaper Vape on my own, I would not be posting this message. However, GOTVAPE.com misrepresented the product, and stand behind a powerless warranty. ORDER AT YOUR OWN RISK FROM Gotvape.com
Well, Bringer, I see you're bringing your Gotvape vendetta to this forum too. Totally off topic post as well. :rolleyes:
I got a vrip tech. It's a slide for a bong with an adapter that fits on the end of the bowl. The adapter is widemouthed for a heat gun. The heat gun I use is a home right heat-pro deluxe I got off amazon. The bowl and adapter cost $50 plus shipping and the heat gun cost me $40. So I got a kickass vaporizer for $90. Best money I ever spent on one. Heats up to temp in about 2 seconds and you get most of the vapor by the 3rd hit. I found out about it in the cannabible. The guy who wrote it talked about it and I agree that it is the best way to smoke your weed.
I had to chime in about the 2nd Best Vaporizer on the market and my positive purchasing experience with Got Vape.
I used to own a Hot Box Vaporizer then I chose the Extreme Remote Control Vaporizer 6 months ago.
I love this unit because of the ability to fill up a Vapor Balloon or use a Vapor Wand. Also, the extreme allows me to set my fan speed at 3 different levels!
One of my friends dropped my Extreme and not only did Got Vape provide exceptional service, even though it was my fault, they upgraded me with the New Extreme Q for only a $50 handling fee.
The lifetime warranty is legit and I don't know how someone would have the urge to downgrade this company, got vape has taken care of me for years!
Everyone should use their Vaporizer Finder on the site and get on the Health Tip.:thumbsup:
