So the Volcano, and Crafty+ can certainly get the job done for the average ent. Especially compared to a device like a Vapcap.

Sometimes it’s actually good to cycle through devices once or twice a year to avoid building up too much of a “tolerance” to the device (where it’s use becomes habitual - load sizes, frequency, draw frequency, hold patterns, temperatures, etc all become habitual). Switching up devices helps reset your own tolerances.

Butane devices certainly give a great bang for the buck. The Lotus vaporizer was one of my favorite butane powered devices which uses heated convection airflow instead of conduction heating like the vapcap and anvil. Problem with the Lotus was that it is VERY finicky about torch control - gotta keep torch moving in circle or figure-8 to avoid overheating one section and combusting (it was one vape I NEVER shared with friends). The Lotus actually went out of business a few years ago but they were acquired by Vapman and recently came back on the market.

But there are certainly plenty of devices on the market these days, not like ten years ago when there was less than a dozen options in total for high end herbal vaporizers haha.
