      Depends on your usage, tolerance and wishes. The devices that I usually recommend to beginners are Xmax v3 pro, airvape legacy pro, xvape Cheeh & Chong’s Mambo, mighty/crafty, TM2 or desktop ball vape if you have high tolerance. All of these (except ball vapes) are electric portable vapes, but you have butane based vapes available too like the dynavap and anvil, but it’s not my field XD.

      I did a bit of research and came to a similar “they will pay for themselves” so I got a higher end (afaik) device called a Mighty. It is fantastic, still going strong years later. Heats up quickly, smooth pulls from it, battery life has gone down a little but still plenty to not be deskbound.

      Some things to consider

      1. Budget
      2. Portable or Desktop
      3. Battery operated or analog (using Torch or Induction Heater)
      4. Ripper (on-demand) or sipper (session)?
      5. Convection / Conduction / Hybrid

      For battery powered:

      Tinymight 2 is my current favorite vape for its size, speed, power, ecosystem. I can use it with my water pipe and rip it like a bong, or hit it dry through a j hook, etc. There is a very small learning curve.

      Mighty+ is a good session vape that is consistent and reliable. There is no learning curve. You need to be ready to commit to 3 minute session of slowly sipping on it. It is a great vape as a session vape, but if you’re looking to take a hit or two do stuff for a few hours and repeat, TM2 all the way. It’s large, but that’s because it has 2 batteries and a screen. The crafty+ is the little sibling with one battery, no screen.

      POTV Xmax v3 is okay for the price point, but if you spend a little more, you can get a better class vape. This sits in my drawer, but I might take it out for biking because i don’t care if it breaks.

      Dynavap is worth a mention as a cheap analog vape that can make huge clouds. There is also a huge ecosystem for it, and it’s interoperable with some other vapes ecosystems.
