Are portable vapes that use flower any good? If so, any recommendations for a make/model?
dry herb nerd here. what's your budget and how often do you consume/what's your tolerance like? these will be the two most important factors.
I don't really have a budget, but do not want to spend a lot. I got a vapor brothers desktop vaporizer some years ago and spent 225 on it, which I regret because I barely use it. I barely use it because it is a pain in the ass to use solo, let alone with other people.
I guess what I want is something as easy/drama free as a Stiizy, but that uses flower instead.
Also, if I could NOT look like a crackhead while using it, that would be great.
Understood completely! It really sucks wasting money on a device that you never use. And I see that you mostly use a bong, so that's helpful to know too. Forget the dynavap or anything that will use a torch as the heater, it can make you look like a crackhead haha. Those kinds of vapes also have a learning curve which can be frustrating.
If you're looking for a portable vape that you can also use through a bong at home, check out the tinymight:
https://tinymightvape.com/index.php?route=common/homeIf you can stretch your budget, I would highly recommend the TM. I love this thing, I have used it multiple times daily for over two years now. It's dead simple to use and it's pretty powerful. All you do is load the flower in the stem, hold down the fire button, and inhale. The flavor and clouds are amazing. It is primarily an on-demand vape, which means you don't sit and sip the vapor over a 5 minute "session." It produces the vapor instantly and you can hit it for as long or short as you want to.
If you're looking for something as close to the bong experience as possible, check out the bundles available at Vgoodiez (arguably the best vapor equipment store, and the owner is super nice and will literally answer any possible question you have):
https://vgoodiez.com/collections/bundles These vapes deliver fast, potent vapor that is really close to smoking. They work by amassing heat in the injector head (this head is filled with ruby balls that retain high heat). You put the injector over your herb and the heat vaporizes the herb. You'll get the most potent effects from weed using these vapes. These will make you put down your bong forever.
If you need something cheaper that still does the job, look at the XMAX v3 pro.

Highly recommend the r/vaporents subreddit if you use reddit, that's where I got all my info and how I got into vaping.
Cheers all, happy tokin!
