I tried some of the more "disposable" types, and found the main problems with many of them are 1) they leak unless you keep them upright at all times and NEVER leave in the car, 2) they stop working after a while-- then you have unused product in a sealed container, which is wasted money, and 3) many have a distinct chemical smell and can actually irritate my throat (I'm pretty sensitive).

I'm not really much of a "daily" user, but when I want to partake, I don't want to dick around. So I read a bunch of reviews, and then bought the Dr. Dabber. It uses magnets to hold the three main pieces together (which is much easier than dealing with threaded screw-in components--especially if any sticky vape oil gets in there). It doesn't leak, and looks pretty innocuous. It has three heat settings, and can also be temporarily turned off with 5 quick clicks (to prevent accidentally engaging the activation button when it's in your pocket or purse).

It charges quickly with a regular USB charger (the other end is connected to the pen itself via another magnetized quick-connector). There are 3 different "chambers" which can be easily swapped out (magnets again--I cannot recommend this enough) to use the right one for your particular product of choice. I prefer a wax or "crackle" type of product, as opposed to oils, which can be very messy and often have a chemically taste.

I paid about $100 for mine about 2 years ago and it's still working great. Vaping, with the right product (sans chemicals), is much milder on one's throat than actual buds, because it burns at a much lower temperature. Another plus: The telltale "pot smell" is practically nonexistent.

You can buy it online or go to a pot store in states where it's legal. The people who work there (referred to as "budtenders&quot take their jobs quite seriously. I find they are often very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. It's a great time to live on the West Coast!

I hope this is helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions. And no I am not affiliated with them in any way.
