I stopped using my Ghost MV1 vaporizer. I just couldn't sustain my initial enthusiasm. I got an Arizer Solo II in mid-December during their BOGO sale (which is still going on) for way, WAY less money; the battery is fantastic and stays charged for days; the mouthpiece with the elbow affords the coolest vapor I've ever had (cost $10); I've never had a vape so easy to clean and maintain.
​
Where the MV1 requires quite a time-consuming process to clean and re-assemble (including filling all the crucibles), and so did the Crafty, and so did the Haze, the only thing I have to clean on the Solo II is the mouthpiece, in isopropyl. My favorite way to use the Solo II is to gently pick apart some bud, pack it into the mouthpiece, make sure I haven't packed too tightly to restrict the draw, and enjoy. I love not having to grind bud. This is after 8 good draws:
It heats up really fast, in less than 30 seconds, and I love being able to adjust the temp to exactly where I want it.
Finally, I completely trust Arizer: they've established themselves fimly in the vape industry where other vape companies go bankrupt (Haze for one). I can't say that I've had this level of trust with any other company, and I've had less than ideal experiences with a couple of others.
People who think an outstanding vaporizer has to be expensive and complicated, with numerous extra parts that require $$$: RIDICULOUS. What I learned is that vaporizers, like different strains of Cannabis, will appeal to different people for different reasons. Some folks refer to this as a "beginner's vaporizer"; I call it the best vape I've ever used. I've used two Storz & Bickels portable vapes and I totally prefer this one: steel, ceramic and glass--no plastic.
