I've heard a few people sing their praises, and a few say that they're not worth it. Some cost $80, some are $400, but I don't really know what makes one better than the other, or either of them better than a $20 glass pipe.

Sometimes if I'm smoking every day I'll develop a cough, so I'm guessing that it's not that great for my lungs. Would a vaporizer be better?

    Yeah a vaporizer would probably be better if you have a smoker's cough.

    If you're worried about ceramics (thankfully not me) I can recommend the Magic Flight Launch Box, nice little dry herb vape that only needs an AA battery or power adapter. I think it is like $60-80?

    I've also used the HR Fury nice little device with a built in battery - but definitely uses some sort of silicone for the screen gasket.

    Currently suffering my like 2nd year of using this XLUX Roffu, the most expensive out of the three mentioned so far, but it came with a glass and metal chamber. I hate the pull on it though & out of all of them, the roffu collects the most concentrate in its chamber which is a pain to clean. Definitely hits the hardest besides like maybe the MFLB though

      Looks like they're $144 for the cheapest one. Do you know if the cover is glass or plastic?

        not-built-for-this damn i don't remember paying that much for it when I got it back in like 2014. The cover is plastic but not a flimsy sort.

          That's Bidenomics for you. I did see a few used ones on eBay for cheap, but I don't know how I feel about inhaling hot plastic fumes.

            Hahaha for what it's worth, the plastic shouldn't ever get hot and keeping the cover on in use isn't required unless you're trying to minimize smell.

            Something like the Dynavap might be more up your alley though; entirely stainless steel and requires a torch, although I've only ever used one once so cannot speak on the durability/etc.

            The Arizer Solo uses a glass pod/air path. Is a bit expensive though. https://arizer.com/solo2/

              That's on the upper end of what I'd want to spend, but I'll look into it. Looking at their website, they have a bunch of different models that appear very similar to my untrained eye. Do you know what makes the $137 Solo II different from the $310 Solo III? Or the $106 Air SE?
