I have a pax3 that is starting to show it’s age. The battery is not holding it’s charge that well and I’m sure the tech has improved a lot over the years. I was looking at a crafty or mighty+ but wanted to see if there was something else comparable for a little cheaper. I would like to keep it under 300, but can spend some more if it’s worth it.

Unconventional but I highly recommend the combo of dynavap + ispire wand. Should be under your price and:

  • dynavaps are basically indestructible and easy to clean, heated by any source, like a lighter
  • the ispire wand is an induction heater, which is better than normal thermal, and it has standard replaceable (and USB chargeable) batteries. So you in theory never need to buy a new device

I forgot to mention I already have a dynavap M with a fmj. I think I need a new cap for it since it seems like it is clicking a little before it’s ready. Ive been using a triple flame torch lighter but the ispire wand has always interested me.

My wife really doesn’t like it, so that’s why I was looking for a replacement to the pax we share.

Yeah the caps wear out after a few years but the ispire makes the whole thing way easier, since you can set it to a temp and not overheat. I find that I can learn how many extra seconds I need if it’s early

I wouldn’t need the FMJ attachment for the cap then right since the wand does an equal applied heat correct?

This has been my daily driver for a while now. I have a Mighty, it rarely gets touched unless I have company.

I second this and would add that if you’re a frequent user than go for the OmniVap.

I have a couple OmbiVaps and the M+ I started with. I like the M+, especially if it’s on the go but most of my use is at home and the Omni is better overall.

I have two ispire wands, one next to the couch (this is the on the go one if I travel) and another down next to the bed. We like to watch tv in bed before sleeping so when we go I throw my OmniVap in the stash case and take it with me.

I’d also recommend Dose Caps. I have a bunch from VGoodieZ. I fill a bunch at once and keep them in a tin for quick and easy reload.

I have no idea why you were downvoted for this, I love my omnivap and it’s a genuine upgrade.

you really can’t beat mighty+, i’ve been using mighty/crafty exclusively for about 8 years and im constantly disappointed by every other dry flower vape i’ve ever tried in comparison

Coming to say this. I have tried dozens or more dry herb vapes. My Mighty+ still takes the top spot.

Arizer. Solid Canadian company, they’ve been making vaporizers for two decades, and they have a wide selection of different types.

My (original) Arizer Air has gotten more use than I’m willing to admit over the past 5 years, and while it’s starting to show its age, but still working without a hitch. If it gave out tomorrow, I’d go order the new Air (2? Max? not certain) with USB-C charging and a digital display, although neither of those features are essential!

I bought a Solo 2 just last week and have been very impressed. Great battery life, great performance, looks good, and easy to use. Seems to be built like a tank, too. Very solid. I’d recommend based on my limited experience with it.

This post got me looking at their offerings again, and it looks like they have a $100 Air SE–if it’s the same ceramic heater design I’d say it’s well worth it

I recently purchased a POTV Xmax pro V3 and quite like it. it has a replaceable battery, an 18650, can charge with USB C. easy temperature control, heats up in about a minute. the chamber and battery both have magnetic attachments so it’s easy to change weed or battery, they could be stronger but haven’t fallen off during normal use for me. I paid less than 100 USD and think it’s worth what I payed.

+1 for Xmax but my recommendation would be the starry v4.

I got a few emails from them promoting the Lobo that peaked my interest. I really like the form factor of that over the max. Are they similar in function?

What kind of user would you consider yourself? Do you prefer longer sessions or quick extractions?

Portables have come a long way and there are multiple types of heating methodology. Some are faster or slower than others but offer smoother hits or larger chambers, etc.

If you’re a discord user there’s the EntExchange, if nothing else that might get you started on what’s common- https://discord.com/invite/jtyKTaDZ

Definitely smoother hits. Most of the time I just use it once a day before bed and would rather it be a calming experience instead of something high temp.

Is portability a requirement or do you only plan on using it at home?

Portable would be best or something that was pretty small. Currently we don’t have a lot of space available. Something that could be kept in an end table drawer and easy to set up/ put away
