Hi everyone,

SWIM is looking at purchasing a new vap to use exclusively for spice.

SWIM was planning on buying an Eclipse Vaaapp, as he really liked the following qualities of this specific vap;
- The area for containing the spice is replaceable
- You can weigh out numerous doses for quick replacement during a session
- Clear visibility of vap process, and little chance of wasting material
- small and discrete.

But after reading numerous posts here at the nexus it seems that the general consensus is that the glass vaporgenie is just too good to turn down.... My question is, is it really that much better than the regular VG to justify paying twice as much money?

To me it seems that the VG has some obvious advantages over the GVG such as;
- Won't become overheated
- No risk of breakage due to rapid heating/cooling with torch lighter or from being dropped.

Can anyone with first-hand experience with both the VG and GVG comment on wether the GVG is REALLY that much better? (I'm sure this has been covered before, but after searching for quite a while I haven't found the topic covered. If it has been, could you refer me to that thread?)

It would also be great to hear the opinion of anyone who owns an Eclipse Vaaapp, as I've found very little info on this vap here at the nexus. This suprised me, to me it seemed like it would be a great tool for spice.

Any comments/opinions you can offer would be much appreciated

peace..

ah, just came across this thread which is quite helpful

I don't think your concerns of overheating of the GVG are that warranted. If you're vaporizing properly (or anywhere near properly) this should be of no concern. I would not recommend the VG over the GVG as it can be difficult enough to assess how large your hit is when you can see it. Going by "feel" is not very accurate at all. I've never tried the Eclipse, but I can say that the GVG just as everyone around here proposes, does work magic for me.

thanks for the input Global

I guess my $80 purchase of an eclipse vaaapp has turned into a $125 purchase for a GVG and bag/accessories. Ah well, if one is to enter into such a serious activity one requires the correct tools. Plus, like everyone else has mentioned it is sexy as hell

cheers

The thing about spice is that it can really be so technical. From the extraction process to the smoking device, to setting it up properly (screens, herbs, copper mesh, etc...) to the lighter to holding it in...there's just so many steps...so many things to keep in mind. It can be quite "seductive" to want to take short cuts, but take it from somebody who tried to take all the shortcuts, when I say that it really pays to do everything right. Cause the slightest cut corner can lead to some heavy dissatisfaction.

I have used both the Classic and Glass VGs for spice and other things-both are excellent but the glass VG is superior to the classic, IME.
