thats a weird bernzomatic, and the flame looks really unfocused, can you sharpen it up? it would heart much fast if not so fuzzy a flame, but maybe a fuzzy flame is better for quartz..
Seriously, I kid with the comments when I see someone smoking one, but WHO smokes meth out of anything but clear boro glass and light bulbs?I've got the meth pipe comments about it, but seriously, how many meth pipes do you see with a medical insignia on the side?
anyone seen the eclipse vape pipe?
a guy i know just got a load of them in... they are like an aluminum crack/tweak pipe but with interchangable/screw in glass vials... so if you drop it at worst only the vial you have in breaks....
could be fun
vapor globe, glass hot knives, ti and quartz pads, and health stones are way better than that product.
Better is subjective, they all just have different features and ways to use them.
I have an Essential and I love it. I don't use it very much anymore, but it is the best portable oil rig I have ever used. Just went backpacking recently and it was PERFECT! Light weight, indestructible (except for $1 vials), can use it outside in wind, and it also does conserve oil better than every other product I have used. The only downsides are that the taste will not be good if you don't regularly clean the vials and the pipe. Overall though it is a great little product that has it's place!
I own an essential vape. Honestly, I hate it. It does work, but you cannot get huge rips, and it is a PITA to deal with all the viles. Also, you can only put the tiniest bit in, or else the rest of the hits taste like reclaim.
Oh and to the person who said don't use a torch lighter, it actually works better with one. If you go to close or too long, you will send your self into a debilitating coughing fit, but you could do the same with a bic. Also, it takes so much longer with a bic, and looks pretty sketchy (i.e. crackhead) and bright in a concert type setting.
Verdict: the Essential vape is good for those who don't like to take huge dabs, like to deal with little tiny dram viles and a bunch of bullshit all the time.
As far as the best portable oil pipe goes, I have yet to see anything more effective, functional, or portable then this baby right here.
I first saw this image on TC, and because there is nothing to represent the scale, I thought it was the size of standard tube/bong, which made it seem way too big.
In reality, the glass 'straw' is about 3/4 the length of a pencil. You turn it upside town, heat up the top of the nail, flip it over, and then dab away. No viles, no direct heating of concentrates, and impeccable flavor.
I would take this with me on a hike over the essential vape or a bunch o' joints. Personally, if I get high while simultaneously exerting myself, I like to irritate my respiratory system as little as possible.
i just bought this vape today. it's really cool toy every oil head needs one..i see the vials being a pain tho, and it does have a crack feel to it but damn...i bought a bunch of extra vials so i dont have to clean them so much
