I ordered myself the Hotbox a few months back online while working long distance (still am, abstained from smoking for 4 months now, got another 2 months to go :P)...
However, I had the opportunity to fly back home for a week off a few weeks ago and I came home, got the Hotbox out, and sadly found out its the US plug :( - The design itself looks very neat.
Luckily I wasn't planning on toking up :)
So yeah, for those people out of the Unites States, I'd be cautious of this, just a heads up.
Hot Box wins. They are well made to last through years of use. I have been using mine for almost a year and a half with no problems, I just recently hooked my hotbox up to a water pipe and now with that the vapor doesn't irritate my throat. The only downside I know about the HB is that it takes a while to get the technique down perfectly so you get primo vapor hits every rip.

The Hotbox is a better product no question even at twice the price.
I haven't had the chance to use a Hot Box for long but I have used the Easy Vape and I can tell you; Don't.
Like all plastic things made in China they are cheap but still not worth it.
The worst part about the Easy Vape Is probably the cheapest part for them, the Whip. The hose on the whip is not the clear plastic tubing we are accustomed to but some terrible smelling rubber that kinks when you try and use it. You can't taste what you are vaporizing over the taste of rubber from the tube and you have to constantly fiddle with it while you are trying to use it because it kinks. How much can some clear plastic tubing cost really?
Also the digital dial is terrible. While I guess it is neat that you can set the heating element in increments of 1 degree what that really means is that every time you turn it on you have to turn it and turn it get it to 300 or where ever you want it. You only have to turn it 100 degrees if you go backwards from 400 but it is still a pain in the ass. With an analog dial you just turn it on and its whole range is 180 degrees on the knob. Really who cares what the shutoff temp for the heating element is? You regulate the temperature by how fast you inhale anyway so it doesn't really mater how hot or cool the actual heating element is.
Finally just look at it. Its a big ugly plastic. Its made in china. Many of you use a vaporizer for its health benefits and who knows what sort of crazy chemicals are present in the heating element or the enclosure or even the whip. China is not exactly known for making safe high quality products.
A Vaporizor is more than just a tool to heat stuff up. Using the Vaporizer is a distinctly enjoyable experience. There is are many enjoyable nuances of flavor that you just cant get any other way. With Easy Vape they were just trying to make a tool to heat stuff up for as cheap as humanly possible and in doing so have completely ruined the user experience.
Hot box seems like a quality piece of equipment and most importantly its made in America by a company of people who stand behind their product. Good luck getting someone from Easy Vape on the phone if you have a problem.
ive got a volcano classic and ive been using it off and on for about a year. its pretty sweet if you want to get realllly fucked up quick. one thing i dont like about it though is that in order to get 100% of the thc out of the bud you have to smoke it a few times and every consecutive time you smoke it the air your breathing gets drier and drier, which gives me bad cotton mouth. after all the hassel of grinding the weed, heatin up the vape, then fillin up the air bladder sometimes its just easier to load a bowl in the good ole bong.

And God forbid you have to turn it farther! That could waste hours.
Do aesthetics really matter that much? It looks like a box with a hose. I wouldn't really call it that ugly, and it does the job well. At the end of the day, it's easy to use and gets me hiiiiiiiigh. Isn't that really what the point of it is? To get high?
I've had an EZ Vape that I bought from a friend about 6 months ago. It is true, the body of the vape is made from cheap plastic, but otherwise I think it is a good basic vaporizer. It is inexpensive and it gets the job done. Also, I've never experienced any bad taste from the hose of the whip.
I have heard so many great things about using vaps, but have never tried one. This product sounds like a good priced item for someone that has never experienced vap'ing and wants to give it the old college try ... :thumbsup:Quote:
