Default Help me choose (final decision!)

So I narrowed down to this

SSV vs VaporTower vs Herbal Aire

but those are expensive... what I am mostly interested in comparing are:


VaporCannon (hands-free or not) vs Vapolution - which one is best.


I also saw an Easy Vape Herbal Vaporizer... isn't it almost the same as VaporCannon but with nicer digital temperature adjustment?


Vapolution has an advantage of being portable when needed.

I am interested in quality of design, reliability, possible problems, and life-span of the product as well part replacement I want it to last.

ALSO, I don't trust eBay. How do I know that someone won't send me a USED one that has weed residue. I am not planning on making this a paraphernalia right off the bat. I'm going to vape some tobacco and when its safe - that whacky green tobacco!

There really isn't a 'best' one between these two. There are tradeoffs. You can get bigger hits from the warez and it's easier to load. You're less likely to break a bowl on the warez. Vapolution's bowl is narrow and uses a dimple in the glass instead of a screen. OTOH I like the Vapo's optional glass straw. It does away with tubing. I like picking it up like a big drink. I like the portability and battery pack. But if you like to grind your weed or end up with some powdery stuff, a box vape like the warez is a better choice. And your preferences may not be the same as mine. You can check out both on youtube.

I'd stay away from cheap digital boxes. The Easy Vape 5 yf. warranty is only on the heating element. If the digital display goes out, the vape will probably quit working too. You get what you pay for and decent digital whip vapes don't sell for $150. Gotvape just wants in on that segment of the market and this is their choice to sell. If you must get a cheap digital box then Gotvape is probably a good choice.

Aside from the Easy Vape , you can't go wrong with any unit you've mentioned. They're all solid companies. Their heating elements are reliable.

You'd be buying from a legit on-line vape dealer like Gotvape, Vaporstore, etc., or an ebay dealer with lots of positive feedback. They sell brand new vaporizers at better prices than you can get elsewhere. You can save about $30 on the warez and $40 on the Vapolution (with best offer auctions). Quite a few people on this board have bought their Vaporwarez from ebay sellers.

When you mention smaller Vapolution hits... what do you mean by that? Are hits big enough to get a good vaporizer-level high and pass around in a room to different people? Does it take a long time to suck it in or wait for it to re-heat the weed or something?

Thanks for advice

I have a vaporcannon just the regular one and I would highly recommend it. It is super easy to use and gets me f'd up. I would recommend upgrading to the handsfree only because it would of only cost me $20 and it is not only a different whip but heating element as well.

I would also recomend using ebay. It is really easy, cheap, and I recieved my cannon in 4 days over a holiday weekend. It came brand new and packed very well.

The only other vape you mentioned that I would consider is the ssv. It is pricey but well worth the upgrade especially if you care about asthetics. I will be upgrading to this model in a few years.

It doesn't have a different heating element. The heater cover is different to accommodate the hands free setup. The way the cover and bowl connect for hands free use is the only thing that's different from the standard unit.

Just out of curiosity, what other vapes have you owned? It's fine to plug the warez and the SSV, but how can you discount other reputable vapes if you haven't used them?

Bigger hits with the warez (and others) because the bowl diameter is larger. A larger surface area allows more weed to be vaporized, thus more vapor in the hit. Vapolution does give some really nice hits, and they're smooth and tasty, especially with the AIW bowl (no tubing). Sometimes you'll wonder if you even got a hit, then you'll exhale and wonder where all that vapor came from. With the larger bowl on most whip vapes you can get some hits that'll make your eyes water. As for passing around the room (as in 'party vape'), if that aspect is important to you, I'd give the Vapo a minus there. Smaller bowl means you have to hit it lighter and reload more often. It's certainly more of an adjustment for smokers who love big hits. OTOH, with the AIW bowl, the Vapo is actually much easier to physically pass around (10 ft. power cord).

i really wanted to try the vapolution, my friend has one and i went to visit him over the thanksgiving week. i also happened to bring my ssv along, and when we got together, the ssv got plugged in first. after the first bowl, i mentioned the vapolution, and he just shook his head. said that with the ssv going, he would be embarrassed to try to compare the vapolution to it. of course, the main reason he got that unit is because of its cheap price and the ease of portability aspect of it.

You are right it is just the cover but it sucks you have to buy both, the guy i bought it from did tell me it is not that much better so i am just going to hold off on the upgrade.

I have used the ssv a while back at a friends and it is real nice, was my first time vaporizing and is what got me interested enough to purchase. The other vapes I have not used but have researched and they do not have the same rep as the ssv or vaporwarez as far as customer service/durability.

How many good hits can you take with a soildly packed bowl with Vapolution? How long does it work on batteries?

And some other people who used other vapes are saying this one isn't doing as good of a job as VaporCannon for example.

VAPORIZER REVIEW | BESTVAPORIZERS.COM says that Vapolution is one of the worse ones...

Overall consensus is that VaporCannon is a better vape all-together!
