I have been exclusively consuming flower with an XMAX v3 for over a year now. It works great for me, and I mostly consume at home. But I’m always wondering if I’m missing out by not upgrading to a more expensive unit.

For anyone who used an XMAX v3 and have moved up to something bigger and badder. What did you get and how does the experience differ?

Thanks!

    I like my V3 Pro for on the go because it’s stealthy and gets the job done. People just think it’s some kind e-cig and don’t even give me a second glance.

    That said, I don’t use it at home because my other options are tastier and/or harder hitting and/or smoother.

    As for your question regarding crafty/mighty - personally I don’t like them very the vapor isn’t particularly tasty and feels a bit scratchy (a phenomenon known to some people as the “Bickel tickle”). They certainly extract well and give you the most out of your bud, but personally the only s&b vape I’m interested in ever owning it’s a volcano.

    Many people love their s&b portables though, my opinion is just that - one guy’s opinion.

    The Xmax v3 Pro is no slouch - it’s a great budget-friend portable.

    Most devices performs differently - some cook faster, some taste better, some are easier to clean, smoother vapor, faster extraction etc. There are so many fun upgrades out there so it really depends on which direction you wanna go - desktop, butane, higher powered portable, etc.

    I have handled countless devices so by all means feel free to ask me how they’d compare to the Xmax v3 pro and I’ll be happy to give you some un-biased opinions of the pros/cons of any upgrade.

    Note - faster extraction and “Cloud chasing” isn’t always more beneficial. Sometimes it’s good to change your regular device once or twice a year to help reset your tolerances. It’s mainly psychological - the use of a device becomes habitual - running temps, loading sizes, draw patterns, etc. This is called "vape tolerance. So even if you get a super high powered device, don’t toss your Xmax - it’ll still be beneficial once or twice a year to cycle through your devices.

    Got the tiny might 2…it’s a much better device. Easier to clean, heats up fast, easy to inhale, less harsh esp with some attachments for vgoodiez bundle.

    Is it worth the $250-300 premium? Depends on your expendable budget. Xmax vpro 3 gets the job done, but I find the overall experience much better with TM2

    TM2 all day. Get the bubbler attachment and/or a WPA and/or more stems.

    Sounds like a log vape would be perfect. That way you can enjoy your home vaping experience better and still be able to use the v3p when going out. They can be on 24/7, and will give you awesome performance and taste.
