So far it has the DBV beat in MOST aspects...efficiency,size,ease of use,taste/flavor & Warranty. The areas that it clearly does NOT beat the DBV in are Build Quality,Air Path, & Durability. Now obviously some might find these cons a reason not to buy,but it seems pretty solid so far....and Ill explain why now....

PRICE - $169,less than the DBV and other top quality home vapes.

SIZE - While it is shorter than the DBV,it is longer. Remember this is a box & the DBV is round. Very easy to place & position.I have mine sitting in-line right in front of my DBV.About 2/3 the height of the DBV and EXTREMELY lightweight.

EFFICIENCY - Ok, this one can be a little hard to call since I feel like I had to spend an extra $45 on the 2pc VT captive Wand to truly get the most out of this box...The whip/wand that it comes with stock is absolute trash! Sorry to say it, but I call it how I see it...The stock Wand is huge, and the heater sits at such an angle that you would have to give it a decent packing to hold it in place so it doesn’t fall onto the element. :uhoh: Seems like I have to use very close to 5x more than I should depending on the herbs with the stock wand. Now with the Vapor Tower 2pc deluxe captive wand, this all changed drastically. I can easily load a very small amount and get a lot of good quality vapor.

Ease Of Use - Im LOVING the set it & forget it aspect of this vape. Set the dial & flick the on/off switch....no need to dial it in everytime. Just turn it on & warm it up.Ready to go in about 3-5mins. Or you can do what I do & just turn it all the way up for a min. then back to 12 o'clock and its good to go.The heater angle I must say is absolute trash though. I really dont like the fact that I had to spend an extra $45 to keep my herbs from falling onto the heater...make it a little less steep guys. 45° or so is a bit much....And who wants to put the vape on its side or upside down?? I want it to be used how it was designed to be used....UPRIGHT!!

Air-Path - Now this I wasnt happy with since it travels thru the box itself ,which is explained here -
[quote=vaporstore][quote=FEAR420]Could you enlighten me a bit on the airpath of this particular vape??[/quote]
The air used for vaporization with the VaporBox is pulled in from the base of the unit up through the center of the 100% ceramic heater on its way to the the herbs. Once passing through the herbs and glass portions of the handkit, it's up the tubing and finally inhaled through the mouthpiece. If you look on the bottom of your unit, you will see holes from where the air is drawn in from. Looking closely at the heater you can also see a hole in the center from which it passes through. The slower you breathe in, the longer the air is near the heater, thus the hotter and more evenly your herbs will vaporize.[/quote]
The DBV obviously is an ALL GLASS Vapor Path. This could be easily remedied by the guys at VaporStore if they so choose.

Build Quality/Durability - Well the DBV obviously takes this one & runs with it. The box is made of wood,so its about as strong as you would expect it to be. Quality seems to be top notch for a wood product though. I did notice what felt like the element cover spinning when I put the wand on & locked it on...maybe a full 1/4 turn of the element cover was felt. Very stiff,but definitely felt it move....maybe I shouldnt gorilla my glass :P

Taste & Flavor - Well,I must say....besides the vaporstar this is the tastiest vape Ive tried yet and I currently own 5,have owned 6....So I guess Im safe to judge flavor & taste quality. :) Every use gave me full flavor until I started getting towards the end other than that, it was great each and every use.


So heres the wrap-up - Based on 5 Stars
Ease Of use - *****
Taste - *****
Durability - **1/2 - Its WOOD....dont expect it to take much.
Price - ***1/2 - Could be a bit more competitively priced.
Warranty - *****
Air-Path - *** - Easily improved by the creator if they so choose.
Size - ***** - Nice & tiny...takes up virtually no space
Efficiency - *** - with stock wand/***** with $45 upgraded wand/whip kit... This shouldnt be a $45 upgrade,it should be the ONLY OPTION IM
