Well since you expressed price point as a concern I wouldn't recommend the Silver Surfer. If you like that style get the Da Buddha instead! Its made by the same company (Seventh Floor, which is out of Springs I think) and its like $80 cheaper. It does the same thing its just smaller (which has absolutely no impact on the quality of hit you get).

However, I would get a Vapor Brothers vape! You can probably find a new one for maybe ~$150, whereas I see the Da Buddha is $190. They both do exactly the same thing and will give you pretty much the same hits. They both have ceramic heaters. In fact you can probably find an older VB for closer to $100.

Check out the vapor brothers site and the da Buddha site. That's a good place to start for sure. These are both quality vapes at good prices. You won't go wrong either way really. Just make sure to spend a little bit extra for an easy-change whip! The screens in whip vapes are a MAJOR pain in the ass to get properly seated. The easy-change whip is worth it!
