I absolutely LOVE my Iolite portable vaporizer.
I like the portable part because I can easily take it to friend's houses without a hassle.

Here are some things to consider:

1- your budget.
2- how and where are you going to use it (portable or non-portable)
3- how much control do you want over the temperature (mine is automatically controlled which means it can get a little too hot & you can tell this by looking for any visible vapor when you exhale... BUT sometimes, at least with mine, there will be extra condensation and I will see the vapor then as well. You can taste the difference, too hot and it tastes a little burnt and just the natural taste of the strain you are using if it is vapor condensation).
...and remember, You can use the vaped bud to make edibles afterward (you just have to use more of the vaped bud).

For me the high is a bit different and more mellow than when using other methods, and it lasts about as long as smoking does (just because it is more mellow does NOT mean it is less potent).
I get more of a body high when vaping, even with a strong Sativa.
Other than that, it is a similar high to smoking, I guess.

It is easy as pie to do and there is no open flame. I do not know how it is with other vapes, but I do know my Iolite, and I would only trade it in if I could get a Volcano (which is a dream of mine... ahhh, someday). Otherwise it is the perfect vaporizer for me.

Good Luck!
