I'm looking to get into a dry herb vape as a better alternative to prerolls. All I see online is people lavishing praise on them and real studies saying they have health benefits. Plus buying straight flower and grinding is cheaper.

Do you use one and if so do you have a reco? I've been leaning towards the g pen elite for a not astronomical price but decent looking portable build.

NEVER buy a vape with an integrated battery. It's idiotic on so many levels, and companies doing it should go under.

Battery not charged? Wait for a few hours instead of putting in a full one

Battery lasts a session after a year? Best hope you can take apart the device and solder in a new one

USBC port died, as is highly likely? Pray to find someone willing to replace it

Do you use one and if so do you have a reco?

What is your budget?

Starry V4 is the best budget portable I've used so far, and sees the most use from me even though I have multiple times more expensive convection vapes.

Terpcicle is by far the best budget desktop.

You've already got people suggesting dynavaps. Don't listen to them, it's an overpriced and overhyped piece of crap. It sort of made sense to buy it almost 10 years ago, but nowadays you have far better and cheaper options like the starry.

Totally agree. But my pax lasted for 5+years and still got decent battery. Sure is annoying if I forget to charge it. But I don't use it daily se there's that.
