I’m sure someone here has some experience in this area, I’m looking for a dry herb vape for my daughter for her birthday this year.

I’d like to get her something with good performance and easy to use (change temp settings etc.) And not a bear to clean.

I have a PAX2 which I really like, but it’s no longer made.

Ideas? Recommendations? Also, anything I should avoid?

Thank you!
 
So I've played and played with it and now I'm finding my groove.
I bought this vape to replace a pipe I'd use while on the go. I wanted a herb vape but also a water attachment so the Lobo and Gordito were exactly what I wanted.
Keeping the glass safe and stored well is pretty ez for my set up at work. I've only used the glass tube mouthpiece once and have used the gordito every session since.
I've also found more glass parts in China is you like some change there...I'll place on order here in the coming days.
Punch in Lobo in the search box and all the glass Lobo accessories will show.

With the pipe, I'd burn two bowls or about 1gram of flower once per day at work so I'm looking to do the same with the Lobo.
The offset there is three capsules replaces the two pipe bowls.

When I blaze flower, I like to burn it down fast and into white ash. About 3-6 hits off a packed bowl so I'm looking for the same in the capsules.
I don't like the slow burn of vapes so I want my vape to work almost like a flame put to flower in a bowl.
If the capsule was a pipe bowl, I'd clear it in two hits but at a lowish temp on the vape it's about 5-6 lightened up hits.

Then I remembered how I'd run my Silver Surfer desktop and did that. Nailed it and got exactly what I was looking for.

So here's what I'm doing...
I go very hot. 420-430 and keep cold water in the gordito to cool the vapor.
Once it's up to temp, let it sit for another minute or two. I don't start hitting it until there's less than two minutes on the countdown and even better the longer I wait.
As it cooks, all that vapor builds up in mass then when I sip it for a hit, BOOM! Huge milky white cloud. Another hit, same thing but reduced and by the third hit it's cashed out and cleared.
Of course this will drain the battery quick so I've gone from trying to trickle in hits at a low temp saving battery power that lasts almost a week to a rapid, battery zapping burn down. Capsules went from about 7 hits down to 2 and battery life went from 6-7 days down to 2-3.
I tested ours the other night again. 9 was as long as we got on the green 3000ma battery. But we share it between two or three each time. Might try your way when I’m alone working in the yard. 🤔
 
My PAX2 recently started Having charging issues so a 420 price cut for the POTV Lobo was just in the nick of time.

Today I mixed an herb cartridge with a layer of Green Crack then Blue Dream, then another layer of Green Crack.
I set the temperature to 404.

A few big rips and it feels like file not found!
 
Little bit thicker build up doing the hi heat and wait. A few times I've got it so I cant see the perk anymore.....

When it comes to the gordito I use the mouthpiece base as a holder while I clean or change out a capsule.
Only when I'm done do I remove it from the base part.
From there I hold it over a sink and blow into it to clear the water out. Wipe it down and put it back in the box with the foam protection.

I'm thinking about getting the other two colors of the gordito plus a sidecar from China for it because I don't like dry vaping so I'll always have a water piece ready even if I break one

We do the same for all the mouth pieces. It’s pretty stable.

I use too but just took it out and put it in the base station. The longer bubble straw is my usual. Easier to carry it around without water in it.

Ah, didn’t know you only used a bubbler. I already broke one bubble mouth piece cleaning it. Probably should have ordered two.

Here’s hoping we don’t break anymore.
