Recommendation for simple vape for user with high standards

Hey there. I read through the history and didn't find any recommendation threads that addressed my question, so thanks in advance for tolerating another what to buy thread.

I am looking for a vaporizer for my wife. Currently she piggybacks off of my Firewood7 and Firewood9, and she likes them both, but only after I clean, load, and take the first drag so they are well-maintained and already warmed up. Basically she appreciates the high quality delivery from them but has ZERO interest in learning a device or even why some hits she takes are more appealing to her than others. The only other device I have is a Toad, which is even more reliant on a purposeful user for a good experience.

I don't mind sharing with her, but I wonder if she'd appreciate and better learn from a device that had more finess-able temperature settings. She has never cared about a device being beautiful, unique, or artistic. She doesn't need a particularly big hit - I think she'd prefer a consistent experience. And she doesn't care about flavor - she doesn't particularly like the taste of weed (but also doesn't want a mouth full of smoke).

Any ideas for a good entry-level, easy-to-use vape for her? I don't mind spending money on the gift, but I also think she might just be a better fit for a basic device that displays temperature and is minimally fussy.

I bought the following dry herb vaporizers, and they are all dead in the water EXCEPT for one, whose name I will reveal at the end of my rant. I spent $200 on a Cloudius Hydrology 9 high-tech vaporizer with a space-age polished aluminum finish and a built-in water-cooling chamber.

Shortly after I began to use the Hyrdology 9 I received a warranty replacement from Cloudius when the device began to leak water into the combustion chamber. On impulse, I also splurged on a $150 Focus Vape Adventurer because that model also featured a built-in water bubbler. All three of those pricey vapes are dead as doornails but wait, there's more.

Finally, I bought an Airizer Solo 1 for $200 new which was my favorite to bubble through a glass percolator, and since the Airizer worked so well, I bought TWO Airizer Air vapes, each for $100. After 3 years and all that money down the drain, the ONLY vape still running is one of the two Airizer Airs while the second one also died. In short, you have a 50% chance of using an Airizer Air for years on end, and so at the price of $106 new, I would recommend that simple yet rugged vape.

I use a Volcano hybrid. I have a Mighty but the charger cord got messed up and it can’t charge. It was too small anyways. My Volcano is a one hit device to me anyways because I vape for the terps and use the ABV for butter. 420*F for about 10-15 seconds, turn on the fan and power hit with the whip.

The whip tube doesn’t get brown and nasty because the oils aren’t shedding yet. The terps coming off the one hit keep the tube and my lungs clean. Something sheds toward the end of a big hit that I don’t like, maybe the chlorophyl from the green colored flower. I can’t see how the people who make videos of them vaping out a huge cloud of smoke can stand it.

Each dose is about a gram, or a joints worth. I get a lot higher with the joint, but inhaling the oils is hard on my lungs as the oils make them sticky inside. Vaping cLeans them out it seems.

I also had an Airizer Air. It lasted 1.5yrs. I bought the solo and it has been used daily for 3 years without issue. I will be purchasing the solo 2 (old now) at 420 time frame. There is a add-on zeus ice attachment if you want a cooler blast.

I still have my og solo but the screen on my solo 2 broke within a month twice.

look at potv one or potv lobo both decent, simple to use and good value✌️
 
Just got my Venty and it's a significant upgrade over the Mighty+. It's compatible with the same dosing capsules I use in the Mighty+ and while it used to take me about 15 minutes to finish a capsule with the Mighty+, with the Venty it takes about 8 minutes. It's expensive, probably overpriced, possibly not the best-looking vaporizer ever made, but I'm very impressed and very glad I got it.

Edit: Just got the dreaded E04 error message and my Venty appears to be dead. I don't recommend the Venty.

@sajesak - my spouse is a joint and ziti kind of girl, but switched to vaping (for the most part). my all glass vape is too me for her to deal with and has tried a number of vapes: airizer solo2 and air and three different pax - i spend 30 minutes cleaning a model one pax to resurrect from total neglect. juice ain't worth the squeeze. she recently got the mighty+ and likes and deals with it all by herself. i tried it. very nice. i got higher than normal - she was running it hotter than i use mine. but very good buzz. not harsh or hot.

have you picked anything for her yet?

correction: she has the original mighty, not the plus, she couldn't justify the extra $150 on an unknown.

I'd be mindful of the ways of women here. Maybe what she likes is the sharing of your vape? It's something she is doing with you, and with you dealing with all the cleaning and loading of it, it's also something you are doing for her. When you get her her own vape, it's no longer a shared experience, nor you doing her a service: it's just something else you have bought her

I'm probably the only girl to comment as I usually am in cannabis related forums. I was your girlfriend at some point. I would have my bf light his bong, and I'd slurp it up. I literally didn't want to do anything beyond that. Mainly because I hate using lighters. Dry herb Vaporizers solved that problem and then some.

I do not want any of the S&B vapes, even though yes, they are probably the best. They are too ugly and bulky.

I LOVE my potv Lobo. It's green and cute, and I bought matching green glass mouthpieces. The curved bubbler is fun. It's actually pocketable, and fits nicely in my hands. I think these would be the main selling points for your gf, but there's other perks like dosing capsules to keep everything tidy and for quick loading. There's also two power options: removable batteries as well as charging by cable which I care less about.

As for ease: 3 quick clicks to turn it on, and it automatically starts heating. Done. It's made my life so easy. No lighters!! You can also set specific temps with the up or down arrows, unlike something overly simplistic like Pax.

I get it if you’re looking for a simple vape that doesn’t compromise on quality. Sometimes, you want something that hits the spot without all the fuss. I’ve found that a good is the way to go. They’re super easy to use—puff and enjoy!

One I’ve tried recently was smooth and flavorful, which I always look for. The convenience of not having to deal with refills or complicated setups is a game-changer. Plus, they are great for on-the-go, slipping right into your pocket. Just make sure you choose a reputable brand that makes all the difference in flavor and experience.

I agree I can only recommend the volcano if you want the best.

If use stationary I do recommend thermal injector styled ones, with some thermomass. I use ruby twist injector myself with water filtration. Better extraction, easier to clean and more satisfying than mobile ones I used before.

Ne ho provati qualcuno a basso costo ma nessuno che mi ha mai soddisfatto veramente, poi ho comprato il da vinci IQ2 e già andava meglio ma ancora non ero soddisfatto. Poi ho finalmente preso il crafty+ ed ho trovato tutto quello che volevo.
