My humble start to vaping. I outgrew this device pretty quickly, but it's not bad for $100, and it showed me a better world than combustion.
And for that, I'm thankful.

My main is the TM2 (ripper), with a Mighty+ (sipper) on the side for longer relaxed sessions, such as when I'm watching a movie, or chatting with a friend.
Both have superior flavor, power and quality. The ecosystem for the TM2 is especially nice.
I first started DHV over a decade ago, but had moved to carts for discretion. That long ago, the flavor from the vape (desktop box with whip) was meh, it usually ended up tasting like popcorn.
After moving from a legal state to one with a thriving grey market, I had the displeasure of experiencing sticker shops, and mystery boof juice vapes.
It scared me enough to quit vaping cartridges cold turkey and try combustion again. I hated combustion, bought a v3 pro and my mind was blown.
It's safe to say I love Dry Herb Vaping and I think everyone should give it a shot with a device at least as good as the v3 pro, but ideally try and Mighty+ or TM2. I'm not pushing ball vapes yet, but the tempest looks doooope.
What is it about a vaporizer that makes it have better flavor over another?
I've never felt like I was missing something from the flavor of my POTV Xmax Pro V3. If I want lots of flavor, I use a lower temp.
I use exclusively session mode because I dislike holding down buttons for so long, but I'll take one good hit then immediately turn it off. I don't actively have a "session". To maximize flavor, I'll use a middling temperature and do little cigar puffs to let some vapor enter my nose before I inhale it. If I need more, I'll do another one-hit session. The flavor eventually wears out, of course, no matter how you vape it.
It's definitely is easy to burn your flower in session mode if you forget about it and set it down. In that regard, it's more of a hybrid vape instead of a purely convection one since heat is conducting into the flower through the very thin metal of the oven.
This can be a benefit if managed correctly. You can set a medium-high temperature then wait with session mode on for some prescribed amount of time to preheat well-packed flower, allowing you to take a huge rip, if thats your thing. I only know this because, being a one-hit-wonder, I dont like huge rips, and I've done this by accident a number of times.
So, I really like the way I use this vape, and the flavor is fantastic. That said, I'd LOVE to hear that other vapes have significantly better flavor along with a good reason why that would be the case. Then I'd probably upgrade, too.
I wouldn't call the difference significant. If you are happy with the taste, stick with it. It is a tasty vape if you keep it at low temps, avoid burning your flower, and keep your stems clean.
It will not produce vapor as quickly or effectively as vape in a better class. If you don't need that, or other perks of a high class vape, stick with what you have.
