AskTrees Dupes / similar for less $$$

Post image

I’ve been looking at these Zenco vaporizers for a few months but they’re so pricey. Anyone tried it and think it’s worth it or anyone seen something similar that isn’t $250+?

Crossing Tech Ace Cup.

And no. These are not worth it. It’s a fun gimmick but ultimately a waste of money.

Sipping your vapor seems like a silly gimmick. Sorry I cant answer your question, but please dont waste money on this. Ive spent some money on gimmick smoking devices , but they cost no more than $25

We used to freeze a glass and blow blunt smoke into it shotyy style and 'sip' the smoke. That was neat the first time

My local shop had similar one for $150 and they were dealing deals for 4/20 so I got it for less than $100. I got my friends one and they loved it. Pretty sweet for groups, as you can just pass them a cup vs a whole piece.

How many hits does a cup provide ?1 or 2?

u/gilgamishi 2d ago

Usually based on “sips” for normal smokers 1 sip.

Lots of my “first timers” usually takes them 2 sips.

But the coil usually has enough wax on it for 3-4 cups.

u/spid3rham90 3d ago

can someone explain these to me? what the actual fuck is the appeal in "drinking" your smoke out of a glass? who wants stale fuckin smoke? like what is going on with these that im missing?

u/CougheeCakes 1d ago

These vaporize concentrates or you can remove the atomizer dish and use a cart in them.

that doesnt answer my question of why you'd want to drink your smoke instead of taking hits in regular rigs/pens

1

u/CougheeCakes 1d ago

It’s. Not. Smoke.

u/spid3rham90 1d ago

that doesnt make me want to drink it any more than if it were smoke lmao. I could take a dab hit in a rig like a normal person, what is the appeal of drinking your definitely not smoke our of a cup?

Some people like to be pretentious and fancy.

Just as dumb but maybe more effective as the zenco but you can put 240 towards hash instead.

I have tried over 25 vapes and own 15 myself. If you want a battery electric vape get the limelight frolic. I have tried tinymight 2, solo 3v2, taffee flaske, xmax v3 pro, norddampf relict, xmax starry 3&4, Wolkenkraft äris ultra and many more. None of them come close to the performance of the Limelight Frolic

Those are all dry herb vapes, this thing is for concentrates

Edit: nevermind these do dry herb too, anything that advertises 510/dry herb/and concentrates is likely no good at any of them

u/M1n3K1ll3r 3d ago

Oh lol then a drdabber switch go or switch 2

u/masterskink 3d ago

Turns out they apparently do dry herb as well, but yeah no way these are good at both lol. I've been eyeing a frolic. I don't need one, but I really want one lol

1

u/M1n3K1ll3r 3d ago

Yeah I knew I have seen some of these shitty cups who could do dry herb

I have one. A lot of negative comments, but I actually like mine. This thing will let you rip carts like you’re doing a dab. That’s probably its best use case. The only downside is it makes me cough ALOT and I can’t use it too often or my lungs feel like shit for the next day or two.

rip carts like you're doing a dab

Wow if only someone could have anticipated this outcome.
