I just smoked it for the first time and I'm super high. Can't believe how high I am off that little bit of grass. So all you guys talking about how great dry herb vaping is, I see you and I think I'm a changed man.

Just wait until you try a modern device :)

Depends on what you’re after and the budget but in general things have progressed a lot.

In the area of portable electric vapes you’re probably not going to find anything more versatile than TinyMight 2. It hits like a truck, provides great flavour, has a decent replaceable battery and is tube loaded which is just convenient. It is also a bit pricey so I wouldn’t recommend it as a first vape ever. If you tried something older or more budget oriented and liked it then you’ll probably love it though. In the end you’re probably going to end up with one anyway.

As a counterpoint I need to mention that TM2 made cannabis both too good and too easy. I sold mine and went with butane vapes because they require a bit more ritual and are more micro dosing friendly.

I've been using PAX 3 extensively for the past 7 years and I honestly don't know what they could possibly upgrade. If it broke, I'd probably get an identical one (if they still make them).

I think I used a pax 3 as first vape years ago. Off the top of my head IIRC: Pax has

  • proprietary charger not USBC

  • built in battery that you can't easily swap when it degrades

  • strange magnetically fixed herb chamber on the bottom that doesnt cook evenly

  • a wierd flashing led light indicator to tell you the state of your device and three preset heat options instead of proper temp controls with exact values and configurable heat zones

  • a mouthpiece that isnt 18mm/14mm/8mm glass insert compatable (I think?)

The pax is an ancient and overpriced vape that hasnt innovated in over a decade. Theres a whole new world of competion. Vapcaps, convection+conduction hybrids, injection ball vapes. When your pax gives out do yourself a favor and look at other options like the arizer solo 3.

I started out with Pax 3 and I won’t be knocking on it. It’s great portable that fits in your pocket which is very convenient. Taste and battery are okay, especially given the size. The only real downside is cleaning because vapor path goes through the device rather than being isolated into an external stem but that’s the price of portability. But there’s just no comparison on how much oomph you get for the same amount of flower.

I think there are some controversies on build quality and warranty claims with Pax on the latest models (Pax Plus) but that Pax 3 is an indestructible tank so hold on to it :)

I'm guessing the tinymight2 isn't the most modern but if we're going with recommendations... it's still upper tier and wonderful.

TinyMight 2 is being revised quite often so it’s not the same device as couple of years ago. They got rid of glass chamber in favour of a steel one, reworked that dinky button etc. IIRC even the heating element design was updated.
