I have tried the "whip style" vaporizers but they don't work anywhere near as good as the Herbalaire.
I disagree. And I've been using the herbaAire pretty much daily for going on two years. Although you can't beat bag delivery for ease of use and efficiency, it can't compete with most whip vapes when it comes to dense vapor hits that are still smooth. Of course not all your hits will be vapor rich, but those that are will be generally much smoother than any you can get from a bag, no matter how thick the bagged vapor is. It may be that the fresher vapor from a whip unit makes a difference too.
