Hey everyone,
I’ve been seeing the Tornado mentioned in various places and wanted to ask for your opinions. Are any of you thinking of copping one?
Analog devices are very attractive to me. While I like the fact that devices like the UniDyn look like a tiny stick, I am a huge proponent for overengineered functionality than aesthetic (to an extent!)
Its 208$ for a piece of machined metal…
I love my dynavap and absolutely understand why people pay out the ass for expensive tips and fancy bowls and stuff to improve the experience or make it more unique.
However, I live in the real world where the economomy ain’t doing hot and budget is tightish. I’m lucky to afford quality bud in the first place.the arsenal of vapes I have does the job as good as I could ever want. So for 200$ that could be better used? Its a nope for me rn. The best accessory you can buy is good bud, otherwise all the machined metal sticks and electric heated pieces in the world will turn functionly useless.
If you in a good place financially go for it, otherwise no matter how you choose to heat/inhale ultimately vapor is vapor. You heat the bud till the terps and oils vaporize, add some airflow to help inhale, the droplets quickly absorb within a second or two, and exhale.
Including ultrafine fogging whatever’s to turn already ultra fine mist vapor oil drops into even finer sounds like half OK science theory half bs marketing gimmick to justify a 200$ piece of titanium that does what a 25$ steel tip can but slightly bigger capacity, heating distribution and better airflow theory crafting.
In this space theres always gonna be consumer types who buy whatever at any price because they have the means and its either a better engineered which promises to improve their experience, or a cool looking one of a kind bragging rights fancy piece they can show a gearshot off on FC.
I get it, I respect it, but I am not one of those. My cheap ass would take 200$ worth of bud over 200$ for a single piece of metal even if i could comfortably afford it. I would rather get a electric ball vape or a aromasence from edstnt for that price a different experience to try other than a vapcap. My existing tips and existing airflow options do awesome.
This is a really great wake-up call for me not to continue down the device rabbit hole ^^ Thanks for your points! I think once I get my technique down for the DynaVap (the UniDyn is my first 😅), maybe I’ll stop thinking about the tornado as much
If the tornado tip truly keeps calling for you then listen to your gut! For all I know it could be the super-ultimate-vapcap-endgame tip to end all tips completely worth the price. I personally have a couple different vapes not just a vapcap so its easy for me to say im satisfied with my vape experience when I have 5 different ways to do it. If you just starting out with vapcap its easy to get caught up in the upgrade marketing promising slightly different vapor experiences. The pieces are cool, shiny, and functional artesian type things so its satisfying to build a collection of a few. Money means different things to people. For me 200$ is a lot, like an every once in a while purchase that better be a completely new electric powered device with a novel heating element/distribution. To you 200$ may be who-cares whatever play money thats fine to spend as long as you get the experience you want. Im sure the people who get the anvils and the tempest head and stuff are happy with their upgrades but just how much better can it be to be worth the multi-hundred dollar initiation price vs just sticking with the enjoyable experience you got + lots of bud. IDK thats for each person to figure out.
Question how do you heat your unidyn are you torching it or using an induction heater?
