looking to get a $150-$200 vape

I'd recommend getting a 4 pack of crucibles and an extra mouthpiece or two with your herbalAire. I've stepped on a couple of crucibles :( and it's nice to have one loaded and ready to go, even though they cool off pretty fast. You'll also want to watch out for the herbalAire bags. They're a bit thicker than Volcano/Toppits bags and they won't burst if you leave them on too long and they overfill, but they will leak vapor when they're full (like a safety valve), so if you leave the room and lose track of time, you'll return to an empty bag.

I emailed herbalaire directyl and asked about using a higher flow pump. This is there response.

Hi,

We have been experimenting with selling a larger pump for session use. It will likely be sold as an accessory. The herbalAire is able to handle to the larger air flow without sacrificing the temperature control. The faster airflow does have a slight impact on the concentration of the vapor coming from the unit.

If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Best regards,

The herbalaire comes with a 1L per minute pump. The pump herbalaire is "experimenting" now with is a 10L per minute pump and a connection to fill two bags at once. But what I want to do is upgrade the pump to a 2L per minute pump. I think that will be a nice combo, the pumps are only $10-$15 and are silent. I think one dense vapor bag is better than two half as dense bags. And I don't think the slightly more air flow of the 2 LPM will after the vapor density too much.

They've been experimenting a long time. They must be busy and only have a few minutes here and there. The company President/designer sent me a 3-way mouthpiece with my unit almost 2 years ago. I've never bought a stronger pump to go with it. I just don't need 3 bags at once often enough to bother with it. I'd rather use different sized bags to get a quicker fill. Let us know how that 2L pump works out (if you can find one). I shopped for pumps and it's frustrating trying to find out exactly how much air they push.

I've found a few pumps online that are about 2LPM. The pump that interests the most is the Dolphin One Star pump. It is rated at 2.5LPM with an adjustable air flow. The pump is said to be virtually silent. How useful the adjustable air feature is another thing. Just finished two bowls out of the vapir one so I'm pretty backed.
