Crispy.Let me know how you like it! I've been considering buying one for a little while.
Just bought one used last night for $20 from a buddy which is a screaming deal. Came with everything it normally comes with new. The batteries are rechargeable Ni-Hm's that are AA sized so finding replacement batteries isn't hard at all but they have to be Ni-Hm's. I tried a regular ni-cd AA battery and there wasn't enough voltage. Batteries on this thing is the only thing that is going to functionally fail with this thing and that's part of the reason why mine was cheap. The batteries needed to be put through a charge/discharge cycle and I'm getting four good pulls per charge right now.
Okay now onto smoking the damn thing
Its small! You can put everything you need into your pocket of your pants no problem. It's going to be really good for hiking (especially for fire danger zones), skiing(don't need a lighter. Not effected by wind), and boating.
You have to grind your shit fine to smoke with it but once you load the trench it pretty simple to smoke, you hold down the battery for about 30 seconds and pull. I'm not use to how light the vape is right now and made me cough a bit compared to a heavier pulling vape for e cig juice. Once in a while you have to shake the herb up to get the freshies on the bottom but its no hard to do at all and not that much of an inconvenience. One of my other friends said vaping nug makes it taste like burnt popcorn and it kinda dose make the herb taste that way towards the end.
The pull on it isn't warm or as harsh compared to traditional means but I kinda prefer the taste of a bowl or a joint. The other big positive with smoking it is that you don't smell smoke. You can get really stealthy with this thing. No one is going to look at you thinking "hey that guy is cheifing a fatty right down main street!"
the "high"
Its a lighter more clear high than smoking by traditional means. You definitely loose a majority of the body effects but if you smoke a super heavy indicia like I do for pain you can pull some body effects. I don't get the super "dude whaaat?" kinda high. I felt like I was baked but still could talk to my boss without having a problem. If you were to take a smokers virginity this is the device I recommend.
Bottom line-would toke again and will for smoking at the bar and skiing/outdoors. The only thing I would recommend would be to buy spare batteries if you go on hikes.
