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 had a Magic Flying Launch Box. It's a very very bare bones vape, but it's also kinda cheap. Definitely not the best option as it's literally just a box with a AA battery and you control the heat by applying/releasing the battery from the connector, and it's easy to accidentally ignite the herb. Also doesn't hold much, but again, it's cheap and simple.

I had my Launch Box for 8 years. When I moved country, I destroyed it and got the replacement sent to the new country, so I had a vape ready. Was very happy with it, but when I got the Mighty+, I never touched the Launch Box again lol

Oh yeah, it's definitely nothing fancy by a long shot. But I think it works as a good starting point. Not to mention I got mine when dry herb vapes were only just starting to gain traction.

I remember reading that the LB was the first vape, but that might be wrong. Going to diverging where I can set the temperature was a game changer, but the AVB from the LB was way more potent (because it didn't burn that hard)! Vaping is so much better tha smoking 🚭
