After reading the few reviews/comments i could find about it, I decided to give the vaporfection stealth a try. For $500, i figured i couldn't possibly get something bad. This has the best warranty too, 3yr parts + labor. Can't go wrong with that.

I must say, having used a Vapir One for a year n a half prior to this, i feel like this is a huge step up. First of all, the pulls are super smooth and the taste really is exactly like whatever you put in there. The hits can also be HUGEE or very smooth gentle ones. Depending on the need you can up the temp a lot and it produces almost like a thin hooka type smoke (of course this is defeating the purpose of vaporizing, but if you suddenly feel the need for something closer to smoke, the capability is there). temperature control is very very precise during normal use. However, and this is a very trivial matter as it shouldn't really affect proper use of the machine, it's impossible to set a LOW temperature on this unit. Oddly enough, if you program something like 190...or, maybe even something in the 200s (although i haven't tried), the unit just displays 340 something or somewhere around there, and the temperature never goes down. The heat never turns on. Seems like it knows it needs to get down to that temperature but it can't. Another strange thing is right when you turn the unit on it displays a temp in the 160s and then immediately jumps to 335 or so, and then after a little bit continues to start climbing above that (i'm guessing once it has actaully REACHED the 335 it starts to climb over it and the device shows this). This was strange and made me wonder about the accuracy/efficacy of the temperature controller on the unit. A guy at vaporfection customer service told me it's calibrated to not read temps that low since you dont need them. Anyway, the temperature control in normal ranges (330-400) works like a charm. Temp shakes around your set temp by maybe +/- 2 or 3 degrees which is more than acceptable.

The construction seems very solid and well put together. Ordering from vaporfection.com gets you an extra hand kit (glass whip+silicon tube), a screen changing tool, and extra screens at no extra charge. Also shipping is free. Definitely recommend getting it from their site if you're gonna buy it. I had a few beers and vaped tobacco out of this thing. Amazing. I used to roll tobacco joints and smoke them after drinking. That produced an excellent effect but was very harsh and super bad for the lungs. This thing is really smooth, tastes just like the flavoring (cherry), and a little bit lasts a whileee and i can just sit and pull on it every now and then. Gives an amazing relaxed feel. The set it and forget it feature is awesome because I can just turn off the switch, and it'll keep fans on until cool enough temperature is reached and then it shuts off. no more waiting around the vape to cool off.

I've tried changing the screen, it's super easy. Took literally like 1 min once i figured out what to do. Washing the glass mouth piece is a bit of a task but you don't have to do it often so don't worry about that. All in all a very good unit. Worth the $500? I am still debating whether any vaporizer at all is worth that much money. Seems like a relatively cheap thing to build. On the other hand, there are a decent amount of $500 vapes out there (vapezilla, volcano, aromed, stealth II...probably some others), and if it really were super cheap to make, i think one of those companies would decide to lower their price to compete, which has never happened. Perhaps the $500 dollar vapes really do have some costly and quality components that go into them. Since I bought this on a gift card i got for free, money wasn't a concern of mine, so whether it's exactly worth $500, I don't know. I do know that it's a great step up from the Vapir One, and i'm sure a great step up from plenty of other vapes in that price range.
Oh one weird little thing...there are 4 buttons on the stealth...temp up, temp down, program (which you use to set a temp), and some other button with an arrow pointing left. This left arrow button has NO function I have yet uncovered. It seems to literally do nothing. I'm going to ask vaporfection cs what's up with that. Weird right?

update:
The extra button is for setting decimal point temperatures. It is disabled in the unit because there is no need for such precise measurement. The digital display/temperature controller are for a large variety of machinery, not just vaporizers, some of which may need decimal point display (the vaporfection doesn't, and so this button is disabled). This says something about the technical level of the equipment though. If this thing in theory can measure decimal point temps, must be a very accuate device.
