Welcome to C/Vaporents! This is the place to discuss your dry herb vaporizer, share gear shots, and get support from the community.
This is a general community for all vaporizers. Vapcaps, electric portables, desktops, PID powered injection ball vapes, or some artisan experimental one of a kind.
Beginners and those speculating the hobby are encouraged to make post asking questions.
Feel free to share deals to your favorite gear going on throughout the year so newbies can get a heads up.
I'm using the Herborizer tonight, which is probably my favorite desktop vape that I own. I didn't get into the whole ball vape craze very much because the Herborizer is just such a pleasant experience and a heavy hitter in its own right. This is probably the vape that I use the most often; I love the design, the vapor signature, and the overall experience of using it.
I tried a handful of the DIY ball vape options, and I still have (and use regularly) a HLT/Highlighter from RedEyeFlightControl.
While performance of ball vapes is definitely high, I just have found I don't really enjoy them all too much (with the HLT being the exception). I also think that the proliferation of ball vapes has made the vape industry feel dull and boring, as every ball vape design is almost exactly the same as every other one.
Compare that to the Herborizer, which really does its own thing design wise. You can tell that a lot of thought went into the Herborizer design both aesthetically and functionally. Does the Herborizer extract as fast as insert-desktop-ball-vape-here? No, definitely not. But I enjoy the process of using the Herborizer far more.
