Nice! I’m enjoying my 2020-M right now. What year is your M? I recently upgraded mine with the new Titanium helix tip and holy hell it just elevated my device to an entirely different level.

Have you seen the new Helix titanium cap they just released this summer? I got one and holy hell it’s beautiful to look at AND it has completely changed the performance of my 2020-M (for the better).

This industry has done plenty for me over the past decade - hopping in to drop some knowledge for novice users is the least I can do

I work in the industry and have owned/handled countless vaporizers (lost count around four dozen). Unlike oil vapes, dry herbal vaporizers perform very differently.

Dry herbal vapes come in many shapes and sizes - from stealthy portables to massive desktop units. Some are stealthy, some taste better, some cloud chase faster, some have better temperature regulation, etc.

The thing to understand is that for most ents who use dry vaporizers, we have multiple in our collection because there is no “perfect” device for every scenario. PLUS it’s best to switch up devices a few times a year to avoid building up a “tolerance” to the device (it’s mostly psychological due to the habitual use of the device - load sizes, temps used, draw patterns used, etc).

My advice would be to start with a good entry level budget-friendly device. Get your “bearings” on how dry vaporizers perform so you can then make a more educated decision when buying a second device (maybe you want one with a larger oven, or faster extraction, etc) - it’s a lot easier searching for comparison reviews where people say X device is different from Y device in such ways.

Like feel free to ask me about a bunch of different devices, I’ll be happy to give you the pros and cons to that device (assuming I’ve handled it).

For a novice user, I have three suggestions:

• Xmax V3 Pro - great entry level device, removable 18650 battery (easy to swap out batteries and keep vaping), two cooking modes “session” (my favorite for the device) and “on demand” (less efficient, but pushes heater to heat up faster for a quicker “puff”)

• POTV One Vaporizer (HealthyRips Fury Edge device with a few revisions for the specific vendor). I’d say it cooks a bit more efficiently overall than the Xmax v3 pro, but non removable battery is bad thing to some people

• Dynavap Vapcap-B - a great budget friendly device that’s awesome when you learn how to use it. It’s an analog device with a cult-like following these days for good reason - it performs unlike most other devices on the market lol. They’re a fun device for off-the-grid use because it can be heated with so many different methods (electric induction coil, cigar torch, campfire coals, tea candle, even a magnifier and sunlight!). I think a Vapcap belongs in everyone’s collection (I even have a first-gen Omnivap from Dynavap which is made out of Titanium making it more indestructible lol)
