Got my hot box yesterday as a replacement for the made in china lasts a month piece of crap "ultimate vapor machine" I have also owned a vapor brothers. The hot box looks amazing. Definitely one of the most stylish boxes. I really dig the tile casing. It seems to be pretty sturdy and its a bonus that the element is very well protected recessed in the box itself. There is no temperature control which made me concerned at first. It has a simple on off switch on the cord. I really like the whip they provide. The mouthpiece is the size of a straw which makes it easier to draw in my opinion. So far its smokes the best out of the other 2 I have owned. I attribute that to the design of the whip. I recieved the hands free whip although I don't exactly know what makes it hands free. The packing barrel seems to be longer then the regular whip. Thats the only difference. Anyway. It hits really smooth and with very little effort. The default temperature of the hot box is just right. I could burn it if I wanted to, but it doesn't burn easily. All I know is that it hits a lot smoother and I have had to adjust to the deceptively enormous hits that i got. The first one knocked me on my ass and I was coughing like a mofo, yet it didn't burn. Anyway. So far so good. We will see how long it holds up. Comes with a 1 year warranty and its made in the USA so it should be easy to get replaced or serviced. Overal it smokes better then my vapor brothers and it looks cool.

Sounds like you got a keeper. They really are beautiful looking boxes. So you think it hits better than the Vapor Bros? I'm just curious. As for hands free whips, it's really one hand free unless you hold the mouthpiece end in your mouth. The whip end, with hands free, is supposed to fit on/in the heater cover/tube so you don't have to hold it there with your hand.

i just broke the friggin whip i suck. it hits better then the vapor brothers. Its just a better seal with the whip on the element. Dunno. Just hits better for me.
