I have a pax3 that is starting to show it’s age. The battery is not holding it’s charge that well and I’m sure the tech has improved a lot over the years. I was looking at a crafty or mighty+ but wanted to see if there was something else comparable for a little cheaper. I would like to keep it under 300, but can spend some more if it’s worth it.

    Since you are used to a electronic dry herb vapes try out a dynavap and see if you like the torch/induction type vape. Its a completely different experience with its own ups and downs compared to an electronic vape. My first vape was the arizer air max and if you like the electronic vapes I recommend it, especially with the big stem with carb that sneaky Pete sells.

      I have a Dynavap M that needs a new cap and was thinking of getting the IH wand soon. I just got an adapter for my bong this weekend and its better than I thought it would be.

        Thats cool glad you having a good time with dyna + bong. My bong was getting a bit old and hard to clean around the top perc so I invested in a orb V2 along with the m+ thought the idea of using both dyna and arizer vape at once + a whip was just so cool blew my mind. I love the orb so much its perfect balance of form & function so easy to clean. By comparison sneaky petes Double Dragon looks like a hard time to keep clean (undeniably cool though)

        I actually was just deciding on what IH to get. The wand was so tempting but I cant do 130$ for an IH. Fortunately I have an electrical background and am confident enough to just get a cheap 120W IH circuit board off amazon for 10$ and a cigarette plug to bare wire connection for 7$ and just plug it in to my portable power bank. I would rather see if I can hack together something decent for 20$ and if I want to spend over a hundred bucks for a fancy preassembled one later down the line ill do that.

            Good luck with whatever you decide to do :) That board I linked is also solderless from what I understand, the terminal connector with two clamps is for input dc power, the terminal connector with three clamps is for the coil. The two ends of the coil go on the two far ends leaving the middle one empty. In theory should just be able to screw in the coil in one side and pump 12v 10a to the other (hopefully!)
