I'm looking to get into a dry herb vape as a better alternative to prerolls. All I see online is people lavishing praise on them and real studies saying they have health benefits. Plus buying straight flower and grinding is cheaper.

Do you use one and if so do you have a reco? I've been leaning towards the g pen elite for a not astronomical price but decent looking portable build.

I tried using one for a while. As everyone says, I pretty much doubled how long I could make weed last.
Downside: The high is more subtle compared to a joint(/spliff) which has a more noticable "hit". I also noticed that instead of smoking a joint with tobacco, I would vape and immediately smoke a cigarette afterwards to get that unhealthy feeling in my lungs I've been craving. I barely smoke pure tobacco anymore so it might be different for me now but just as I noticed with hash in a pipe, I find the sensation of smoking a joint to be enjoyable somewhat more than the effects it seems.

same, lighter high and you kinda "miss" smoking. But flavour is better and smell too, at least with mine
