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.
