I have a pax3 that is starting to show it’s age. The battery is not holding it’s charge that well and I’m sure the tech has improved a lot over the years. I was looking at a crafty or mighty+ but wanted to see if there was something else comparable for a little cheaper. I would like to keep it under 300, but can spend some more if it’s worth it.

    I know a lot of some people are chiming in and saying Arizer. I’ve had a Airizer Max for over 6 months now. It is without a doubt the worst vape I own. The airway path is constantly feeling like it’s plugged with or without the screen. The glass chamber is hellish to keep clean which is another tick against it. It’s like fighting a clogged pipe every time I try to take a drag compared to any other vape I’ve used.

    My very first vape was a Healthy Rips Edge and besides it’s small chamber it was an excellent piece of kit and unless they’ve changed since the 5 years ago that I had it I’d have no problems recommending anything by Healthy Rips. I also had a Utillian 722, which got the job done but wasn’t very good for temperature adjustment it always seemed to be just on the edge of burning the herb no matter what temperature setting.

    Since then I’ve had 2 S&B Mighty+. One of which started throwing errors after two plus years of use five times a day. Two emails with the Storz and Bickel warranty team and they sent me a brand new one in box no questions asked. That experience is what pushed me over the edge to try the Venty even though the damn thing was too expensive for my taste.

    Just by coincidence my new Venty came today and I’ll be trying that out after dinner. I have a wide variety of vapes and if you’re willing to spend a little extra do yourself a favor and get a Storz and Bickel. They cost a little extra just starting out but they’re worth it in the long run. My suggestion is try to find some older stock Crafty if it’s something you’d like to try without dropping too big of a bundle.

      I’ve had the same healthy rips edge for going on 5 years. Great piece, and I’m shocked the battery life is as good as it is this many years later.
