Storz & Bickel Plenty Vaporizer

The Plenty Vaporizer is a new hand-held vaporizer from Storz & Bickel, the makers of the famous Volcano Classic & Digit Vaporizers. The Plenty is made in Germany, and like the Volcano, there are two different voltage versions available, 110 volt or 220 volt.
Below is my initial review that I posted on FC, a popular vaporizer community forum. 
I just got a chance to try the Plenty for the first time and I really loved it. After going through the instruction manual, it was really easy to get setup and going. The flavor was great and heat up time was minimal in my opinion. I had some friends over and found this much, much easier to pass around and share vs. my Silver Surfer. It was nice not having to deal with the wand/whip of the SSV, and we found the Plenty so much easier to use as a group. It was nice not bothering with stirring all the time too, and this didn't seem to affect the performance. I would still say that the SSV tastes better compared to the Plenty, but I believe that the ease in use would make up for it for most people. Perhaps the taste will also improve a bit with my unit once it gets a little more broken in. The only major downside with the Plenty is making sure the bowl is full enough to prevent your herbs from moving around, or having to put the liquid pad in to make up for the extra space. If I'm only trying to vape a little bit, my SSV might be a better choice for me. I was overall extremely impressed with the Plenty, and can't wait to do a little bit more testing on it.

Pros:
Solid build quality
Adjustable temp with temp gauge
Very easy to use (especially with a group of people)
Cool, smooth vapor
No acrylic hoses or glass parts that will need replacement
No chance for herbs to come in contact with heating element
Lightweight
Can rest on table during use without exposing table to hot surfaces.
TÜV Safety testing ensures a very high grade of safety under operation.

Cons:
Price (somewhat high compared to other vapes with similar low-key tech)
Silver Surfer or Da Buddha Vaporizer will provide better taste & higher efficiency at lower price points (albeit with more hassle)
Is not compatible with worldwide voltages (there are 110v units or 220v units)
Double Helix Cooling Coil looks quite strange, so expect remarks when others see it for the first time

I was planning to sell this vaporizer as used once I was done testing it, but now I'm not so sure... I really like it and will probably keep it, because it was just such a pleasant experience to use.

If you want to learn more about the Plenty Vaporizer, we recommend reading the Plenty Vaporizer thread at FC.
We are currently offering Free Overnight Shipping within the United States on the Plenty Vaporizer, or Free Worldwide Shipping included. The price of the Storz & Bickel Plenty Vaporizer is $349.

Blog Directories

As you can probably see, we're currently in the process of trying to get this blog up and rolling. Only a couple posts on here as of now, but we're going to be putting some more information and reviews on the vaporizers and grinders that we have in our store.

As part of the process of getting our blog setup, we've added our blog to some directories to help gain some exposure. It's been troublesome finding decent resources, so we thought it might be helpful to share a few links to helpful resources for other bloggers out there...

The Inhalater INH004 Portable Vaporizer

The INHALATER INH004 Portable Vaporizer is the newest portable vaporizer on the market and we are proud to be able to offer it in our store! The INHALATER is one of the smallest battery powered vaporizers on the market. The INHALATER is the only portable vaporizer this size that features adjustable temperature control, and is far more robust than comparable vaporizers. The build quality and fit/finish of the INHALATER is equal or perhaps even superior to any other portable vaporizer currently available on the market today.


Inhalater INH004 Vaporizer
The INHALATER operates in a twin heating mode, convection and conduction. Air is routed in a heated space prior to going through the substrate which is itself heated in its container.

All heated components are made of health-safe materials. Both the vaporization chamber and capsule are made of Polyimide. Polyimide is an organic resin that exhibit outstanding engineering properties, especially thermal stability, dielectric strength, mechanical strength, temperature stability, and is used in medical devices and high-end technology including NASA Space Orbiters.
Before I got my hands on the Inhalater, my favorite portable vaporizer was the Arizer Solo, however that's definitely no longer the case. Not only does the Inhalater INH004 provide cleaner tasting vapor, but the vapor is thicker than that produced by the Solo. Another way the Inhalater wins over the Arizer Solo is that it lacks the fragile glass mouthpiece stems that are required for use with the Arizer Solo. The Inhalater battery lasts long enough for about 10-20 power cycles of six minutes. The battery is built-in and can be re-charged using the included USB cable and international voltage compatible (100-240 Volt) power adapter. A great feature of the Inhalater is that you can plug the USB cable into any computer or USB compatible charger, and it will provide you INH004 the electricity it needs to get going. Instead of having to buy an expensive power adapter or car charger made specifically for the vaporizer, you can just go to any local electronics store, or even Walmart, and pick one up for about $5!
The Inhalater INH004 Vaporizer is available at The Other Side Vapes for $249. We currently have a special with FREE Overnight Express shipping within the United States, or FREE International Shipping Worldwide! 

We also have Replacement Polyimide Herb Capsules for the Inhalater INH004 Vaporizer for $12.99 each. Two capsules are already included with the purchase of a new Inhalater, however you can add more to your purchase and receive free shipping on the extras!
