Nothing new over the holidays but I finally got off my ass and sent my BAKx (which I got in early 2023) in for repair. Still mostly using the Dani Fusion right now, I bought that in September or October I believe. Both great vapes, looking forward to getting my bak back soon!

Venti certainly looks interesting although people also love mighty and crafty which were both pretty underwhelming to me when I tried them with friends.

Right now I’m pretty happy with where my collection is although there are always more vapes I’d like to try. Gonna go back to my one new vape per year after splurging on two last year (finishing uni and getting my first big boy job was a good excuse to treat myself a bit).

Nice, nothing I’m particularly interested in personally but it’s good to see more options in the mid priced section pop up! Any reason to recommend it to people who want to get their feet wet over a V3 Pro for example?

I wasn’t exactly accurate with my statement tbf, the capsules I have are for the Fenix mini, one of the bazillion fury clones. Bought from verdampftnochmal (German shop). I imagine they work well for conduction vapes. Not at home rn but I’ll try to remember to send you a pic!

The ones I have are pretty thick metal, lid screws on and they have holes on the side. Those suck because they take a long time to heat up. The V3 ones have no holes on the sides, only top and bottom and they are much lighter/thinner walls, so much better for convection.

Yeah, it clicks (once, not twice like a Dyna). The click is very early for my taste but counting to ~3-6 after the click works well for big tasty clouds. That is when heating it with a triple flame torch which is my preferred method so far. Single flame takes way too long. Something with a bigger flame like a crème brullée torch might work aswell. I think some induction heaters can also handle it, but I’m not 100% sure about that. My DIY one is too weak.

Love mine as a beater vape for taking with me everywhere. Vape + 5 dosing caps usually lasts me well for a day/evening out, it doesn’t take up a lot of space and people don’t give you a second look when using it in public because they assume it’s some kind of e-cig. And it extracts well and tastes okayish for most of the sesh.

Wouldn’t use it at home, but I got a sizeable collection of great vapes to choose from. For someone with low budget, it’d be feasible as only vape too I imagine!

Pro tip - Fury Edge/POTV One capsules fit the oven on the Xmax v3 Pro.

That’s true, but they don’t work very well in my experience (the ones I have at least). There are dedicated v3 Pro dosing caps that are lighter weight and have no holes on the sides that work much much better.

Beautiful piece! Didn’t know there was already a fw9, seems people weren’t that enthused about the 8

Oh yeah, I have one (original US maple version). I can’t say I’ve ever really mastered it, but I get it out every now and then and sometimes I get really great sessions out of it.

I gotta step up my torch game though, not really happy on that front yet. I got a lot of great butane vapes that deserve better than the shitty, inconsistent, small flames gas station torches I got. So if you got any recommendations there, I’m all ears!

Thanks! I’m a sucker for devices that look great and have great tactile feedback. The more analogue, the better aswell. Those tick all my boxes :D

Yeah they got the normal Dani (I think v3 is the current one?) and the Fusion. V3 is more conduction, closer to a Dyna in terms of what kind of hit you get supposedly. Fusion is mostly convection. I think I’ll get a V3 tip too down the line (just the tip - should fit the same stems afaik).

Any tips you can share? Just got it in today!

Awesome pic, looks like a great day! Welcome over here, it’s still very quiet for now, but it’s a very chill vibe so far :)
