You mean are the hits comparable? Vapor quality, after all, is just a matter of applying the right temp range. Opinions differ on the herbalAire hits from direct draw. I don't like it for direct hits. I think the 18 tiny inlet holes, which make the herbie so efficient, work against big volume hits. But I've heard some say they really like it for direct draw. It's definitely easier to get some big hits from the I-inhale (a short piece of tubing helps a lot, and Vaporstore is including a piece with their units), but some hits you have to take on faith unless you're in really good lighting to see vapor exhales. I find you get some good taste on the first hit or so. Temp is pretty accurate I believe. The color of the remains is a consistent brown. I haven't tested the 2 hr. run time, but if you're in doubt about how much fuel you have, just top it off before you go mobile. I think I've refilled it 3 times in two weeks, with daily use. Of course it all depends on how long it's on. My use tends to be in short bursts. Passing it around with 3-4 people and refilling bowls would drain the fuel supply much quicker.

I've done some research on butane prices, and the best price I've found is on Vector butane from cigarextras.com. They make high quality lighters and torches and the fuel is 5 times refined, so I trust the quality, and that site has the best price. Buying multiple cans really cuts the per can price, and it only costs an additional $1.50 in shipping to buy 12 cans (10.6 oz size too) vs. 4.

Overall, this little vape gives you VM3 size stealth at $200 less. Best buy by far in a portable pocket size vape IMO. I hope the company's experience with gas fueled tools carries over to this unit as far as making it a reliable vape long term.
