Im looking to spend around $150 on a vape, and the Vapor Bros and Da Buddha(Made by Silver Surfer) both seem like great similar choices. Has anyone used both? Or even the SSV vs. Vapor Bros. Ive been told the SSV gives the best hits, but overall at the end of a bowl the the effects should be the same with all units. Right?

Da Buddha is bedda unless you don't want hands free, which is me. I went with the SSV. Made by 7th Floor, to be exact.

Why wouldn't somebody want hands free? It's less work because you dont need to hold the whip to the heating element right?

How long does it take to make the connection and take a hit? Under 10 seconds for me. I use the SSV by myself and my setup is perfect with the unit on an end table and my arm resting on the arm of my chair. Hands free would be more inconvenient for me. Not to mention the ground glass connection doesn't hold up as a secure connection over time and the SSV heater angle is the worst for a long term gg connection. Down the road the whip would tend to slide off. The bowl would also be smaller, which I don't like.
