ive never used a vape but i hear good and bad things. i know two guys that have both owned the volcano and phx's and suprisingly enough they bong it up more often. and i never thought of it that way but i suppose vapes would be a little more meant for just YOU...not you and your 3 other friends. thats something better suited for the bong. i agree with jfoster in, going to your local shop, support local glass blowers and get something like that. id go for either a nice worked out glass on glass bong with a diffuser stem and then maybe if you have money left over get a cool headie bowl or ashcatcher...or both? unfortunatly i would tell you to spend the dough on a phx or roor but with 200 only....eh...your like almost there....but not enough to get something solid from either company with just 200. when your ready to spend 300+ think about name brand stuff. until then, go with a nice worked piece that you like (not soft glass! make sure that shit is pyrex) and then try to make sure its got all the little goodies such as diffuser stem or headie bowl/ashcatcher or a case maybe? or hell hook up a fat sack with the rest of the cash man and break in that piece!!!

let us know what you get though. im curious to what your descision is.
