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.

Unconventional but I highly recommend the combo of dynavap + ispire wand. Should be under your price and:

  • dynavaps are basically indestructible and easy to clean, heated by any source, like a lighter
  • the ispire wand is an induction heater, which is better than normal thermal, and it has standard replaceable (and USB chargeable) batteries. So you in theory never need to buy a new device

I forgot to mention I already have a dynavap M with a fmj. I think I need a new cap for it since it seems like it is clicking a little before it's ready. Ive been using a triple flame torch lighter but the ispire wand has always interested me.

My wife really doesn't like it, so that's why I was looking for a replacement to the pax we share.

Yeah the caps wear out after a few years but the ispire makes the whole thing way easier, since you can set it to a temp and not overheat. I find that I can learn how many extra seconds I need if it's early

I wouldn't need the FMJ attachment for the cap then right since the wand does an equal applied heat correct?

[–] lung@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I never needed the fmj to begin with (just rotate the tip), but I guess that's right

This has been my daily driver for a while now. I have a Mighty, it rarely gets touched unless I have company.

I second this and would add that if you’re a frequent user than go for the OmniVap.

I have a couple OmbiVaps and the M+ I started with. I like the M+, especially if it’s on the go but most of my use is at home and the Omni is better overall.

I have two ispire wands, one next to the couch (this is the on the go one if I travel) and another down next to the bed. We like to watch tv in bed before sleeping so when we go I throw my OmniVap in the stash case and take it with me.

I’d also recommend Dose Caps. I have a bunch from VGoodieZ. I fill a bunch at once and keep them in a tin for quick and easy reload.

I have no idea why you were downvoted for this, I love my omnivap and it's a genuine upgrade.
