There's a small learning curve with air flow and managing the temperature, but the cap clicks when it reaches then falls out of the optimal vaping range. I really love this vape, but I don't use it as much anymore.
Currently I use a Storz and Bickel Mighty Medic+ and have owned this for about 3 years. In my country, medical marijuana is only just getting going and this device is an approved device by the board of health. I love the size of it and how easy it is to use with the dosing capsules. The capsules are little steel caps which you can load up ahead of time and bring along. It has USB-C fast charge and you can use it while it charges. It has a ceramic bowl, it's easy to clean with ISO and it looks nice on the table. The main differences with the Storz and Bickel vapes compared to other cheaper options is how light of a draw you need and the way the device cools the vapor. The cap design is baffled internally and this lets the vapor cool down before it reaches you. This is good for taste and just the enjoyment of using the device. Other vapes I have tried are more of a direct breath from the oven which is harsh on lungs.
I am of the opinion that if it's something I will use daily and it's something that will be going into my body, I should just save and buy the best I could. I did a lot of research and it just seems like you get what you pay for. Look to get them around 4/20 as they will go on good sales then.
I've also owned/used
- flowermate (average build quality, average experience)
- a no-name desktop vape (terrible and the whip always fell off)
- a magic flight launch box (my first vape 10 years ago, outdated tech by 2020)
- a PAX 2/3 (looked nice but was pretty average experience, difficult to pull a hit through their mouth design, and the entire vape would get hot to hold after 1 session)
- Arizer Solo (Awesome build quality but sketchy glass stem design, friend was always breaking them)
- Arizer tower desktop (average build quality, awesome options for the price, whip/balloon, don't think they've updated these in years though)
Let me know if you have any questions :)

I moved to NZ for uni and have only been back once, around 2015. Everything had exploded and I really didn't recognize much especially near Johnson Ferry Baptist and the old Mellow Mushroom that's become a Northside Hospital. I can only imagine how different it is now...

What a way to kill 10 minutes! I'm still not very good but getting certain weapon/tome combos is very fun and I've been enjoying competing with my friends.
10-20 minutes has been all I can manage per day, but I just got a steam deck and it's a game changer.
