I bought this vaporizer because of the price and because the guy in the YouTube video definitely knows his stuff about vaporizers. For 150 I had nothing to lose so I got it. I own a crafty, fireflys 1 and 2, and a vapexhale evo. The evo is hands down the best but it's a desktop so that's not fair to compare. What I can compare is the session I had with The Force right out of the box. I also powered up my crafty and my firefly 2 as well as comparisons. First thing I noticed was a lite vapor coming from the mouthpiece when I had it on the blue setting. No worries, I wasn't expecting this thing to be true convection for only $150 bucks. But **** it is efficient and a pleasure to hit. The vapor is definitely a little hotter than the crafty or the firefly 2. But it's some tasty vapor so there is definitely some good convection going on too. Three things that made this vape more enjoyable that the crafty was, one the crafty took a while longer to heat up, two the vapor was good for a few hits but it cooks the bowl a lot faster coming from the crafty, and three the craftys auto shut off time is a joke. The firefly 2 is amazing and very herb efficient but you kinda have to use it a lot to know how to make it work just right and even then the algorithms for the heat seem to malfunction which leave you poking in the dark to try to get it to work just right and sometimes that delivers lackluster results even to someone experienced with the firefly 2. The Force delivered great tasting hits, maybe a little hotter vapor than the firefly 2 or crafty, but the vapor production was awesome and each hit tasted great. And it's just as efficient as the firefly 2 and a lot easier to use like the crafty is. I'm digging it for 150 bucks. And they do free 2-day shipping so that made it really cool, I love my Amazon prime free 2 day shipping haha. They shipped my Force out 2 hours after I ordered it on a Sunday night, I tracked it, and I got it today on a Wednesday. Pretty awesome portable, I'm digging it. And this is coming from a guy who owns all these vapes and watches the vapecritic all the time. The king is still the vapexhale evo but this mightve just taken the lead for best portable vape experience I've had.
Just to clarify, I bought this because they claimed it was pure convection and I love convection vapes. When done right they are amazing. But it doesn't matter if the force isn't pure convection because it works so good. Even the crafty is part conduction and part convection. The crafty does a way better job at cooling your vapor but I actually enjoy the warm vapor from the force.
