I own both so I guess I should reply to this. First off I received both of them very quickly, within a few days. One of my Ubies was broken, I let support know about it and they replaced it. The Ubie is cheap and works ok, it's made of glass so it'll break easily. The filter holes get clogged so you have to constantly tap it or take the filter part out and blow. It's also difficult to get the temperature perfect.

The Genie I just received so I'm just giving you my first impression. It's a solid well made pipe, a little big for my taste but fits well in my hand. I first tried it without any herb and I got a nice flow of warm air. When I tried it with the herb it was a nice experience, I got a warm flavorful vapor. I did get some smoke once, I guess I got the flame to close to the ceramic filter. In my opinion, the genie is much easier to fill up and use, works better, gives a better taste, and I think it's worth the extra $35 investment since shipping is included in the price.
