I was in the same boat for a while, trying out different pens and never quite finding what worked. I’ve had my fair share of duds too! Last year, I picked up a few different vaporizers, but like you, I found them a bit tedious.
Then I got my hands on a DynaVap M, and wow, what a game changer! I was skeptical about the manual heating at first, but it’s surprisingly quick and easy. Plus, using it with a water piece makes for such a smooth hit. I love how much I’ve cut back on my flower consumption since switching!
