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'd say pay more up front and get a quality device, it'll save you money in the long run. For a desktop device, which I definitely recommend: budget - Arizer Q tower, and imo, best - Volcano. I like the classic. I also use a Crafty plus for a portable one, and I just use caps that I fill. Cannot recommend that enough. Helps minimize the need to clean, and I can change caps in public without anyone raising an eyebrow. But the Storz & Bickel gear is definitely pricey. However, I've had my current Volcano for 8 years, and I never turn it off. Still runs excellent, so I'd say it was worth the price and then some.
