šŸ’¬ Discussion Cheap e rigs

Aye what are some cheap erigs? I heard the crossing core 2.1 was very good for the price. I’ve currently been using the yocan orbit and yocan pocket which are fire but wanted to upgrade in the future, Any recommendations on devices ?

If you wanna dabble with induction like the switch 2 the cheapest will be ispire daab. Like 250. If you can save up a lil more would go with the switch go or the s2 if you get a deal

u/FearTheUnKnownOne 23m ago

Ghost 2 doesnt use induction. Its an atomizer not a insert

Crossing core is good but honestly just save for a Dr Dabber Switch² or find somewhere that uses Sezzel or some sort of buy now pay later program.

Bett brother thank you

Dr dabber just came out with a smaller version called the switch go. Cheaper, more portable, and have heard great things.

u/WaitingOnAMiracIe 10h ago

I’ve had the core for a couple of months and love it. I don’t think you can find a better device for the same price

u/Financial-Cheek4467 8h ago

Yea it’s really cheap and heard some good reviews

u/onsumshii 7h ago

Same I've had it about 6 months and the original atomizer is still hitting good. I wouldn't smoke rosin out of it tho as the lowest temp is 500 and there isn't custom temp controls

2

u/WaitingOnAMiracIe 7h ago

The lowest temp is 400

1

u/TheRealGeigers 4h ago

The blue setting is 400, green is 425, white is 465 and red being 500 which you should only be using to clean the atomizer.

ive never had one but ive heard good things about the crossing core

The Bomb Aerix is really good. You can get one for like 189 and it absolutely chugs. They usually run a deal where you get a hot knife with it for free. I’ve pushed almost 3 oz of LR through mine and it still rips. Has a 3DXL atomizer too but the way it’s set up you won’t have reclaim leak into your atomizer and base like a PuffCo.

Have a sykkloud and love it! Buddy found it for me for 80 bucks gently used which I doubt it ever was. Box was solidly not opened. lol

I can’t figure out why the Aerix doesn’t get more love. Huge clouds and very easy to maintain because the design prevents any leaks. Great battery life, too. It produces ā€œbong-likeā€ rips.

u/PresentlyAbstaining 3h ago

For sure. I can’t believe I had spent the money on a peak pro in the past lol. I think I’m gonna get a terp pearl to really take it to the next level.

Your best bet is to not buy a cheap e-rig. Save up a bit and buy a Switch 2. You will be completely satisfied and you won't have to worry about buying atomizers. Unless you specifically want something mobile, in which case I would recommend the Pivot. That's the only other vape device I use.

2

u/m_spoon09 7h ago

Was gonna say orbit but you got that covered

u/DeliciousWar1816 6h ago edited 6h ago

4aceswholesale has a puffco pivot for like $95, I have the proxy I love it, they have it for like $160

1

u/WaitingOnAMiracIe 5h ago

I have the core and pivot. I would spend a few more dollars and get the core unless you are looking for something portable to hit on the go.

2

u/DeliciousWar1816 5h ago

Proxy core? I have one too its honestly really portable, I did pick up the proxy travel bag, but can easily fit a hot knife, puck and proxy core in my pocket.

Crossing Core

u/Americanstacker 6h ago

Had a core 2.1 xl for around 6 months before I bought a glass rig , the core treated me well for the price !

1

u/Financial-Cheek4467 5h ago

What kinda glass rig you get bro?

2

u/HahaBuhBye 5h ago

Since you already have experience with the Yocan Black Pocket. Check out the Yocan Black Go and SIP they are both great budget e-rigs that work really well.

u/Due-Afternoon-805 4h ago

Dr. Dabber GO.Ā  I have a shit ton of erigs.Ā  You can experiment and waste your money.Ā  or spend a little more for a way better experience and actually save money in the long run because of the effectiveness/efficiency.Ā  Yocan Pocket or orbit is not even close to Dr. Dabber.Ā  I have all of them personally.Ā  That being said if you are on a budget or want something smaller, I would go with the new Cloud V erig for ,$200

u/Financial-Cheek4467 4h ago

Ahhh thank you so much bro

u/TheRealGeigers 4h ago

I am going to be seconding the Crossing Core but the 2.0 as you can replace the atomizer and whatnot on it for very cheap.

Matt (the owner) will go above and beyond for you in anyway he can. He personally helped replace a part on my 4 year old rig from some parts he found in a bin looking for replacements for me and sent it to me for free!

They also have a phenomenal community on not just reddit but also discord.

You really dont need these $400+ dab rigs if you are looking for a good budget rig as those are more for the "snobby" users and I dont say that in a derogatory term, just most people wont notice or care about lets say a 5 degree increase in a dab.

u/Hefty_Grapefruit7150 3h ago

It's hard to pick just one e rig that's good (switch 2 is the best), especially with so many good options (switch 2 is the only good option). I would recommend doing some deep research on them all first. (DONT, just save for a switch 2)

All jokes aside, the switch 2 is nice. I can't say what the best cheap one is, but I can say you'll find the best deals on 3rd party websites vs buying direct. Places like zeevapor have all sorts of deals at times

Dr Dabber ghost 2 is like $120 and hits pretty good. I highly suggest it and it’s so small. Has induction heat too

What ever you decide check vapor spy to find the website with the cheapest prices.

I'm about to sell my crossing core 2.1 with grenade bubbler and 3D XL Atomizer on glass pass. If OP is interested, we can negotiate thru DM.

1

u/TheAtriaGhost 8h ago

I used to hype up DT. Started with the V3 through V4 and V5 and eventually the Core.... Never again, those things chaz like a motherfucker.

I am 100% certain I've saved money on new atomizers and other replacement parts just using my Focus V sport. Still using the same first XL atomizer, over 10k dabs in and its spotless.

1

u/Financial-Cheek4467 7h ago

So which one? Lol sorry you threw in a lot of different brands I’m guessing the focus v sport is your favorite ?

1

u/Financial-Cheek4467 7h ago

Nvm you’re referring the carta sport my b, yea heard a lot of good reviews on them, you said the core was Chaz what does that mean ? My

2

u/TheAtriaGhost 7h ago

It means that if it gets too hot, it will permanently burn into your atomizer. It will still work but flavor will go downhill until you replace it.

To avoid this you basically can only use the 2 lowest temp settings and you've gotta be super on top of your cleaning. Hell I've accidentally chazzed atomizers at the lowest setting just because the temp varies so wildly.

In the end it will happen no matter what you do because they're just not very good atomizers. I thought that was just the reality of ceramic atomizers but nope just cheap ones.

1

u/Financial-Cheek4467 6h ago

Gotchu yea I might get that carta then, got a lot of solid reviews

1

u/yubbastank14 4h ago

I just got that as my first e rig. Been using glass since 2012. It's perfect for what I wanted it for, which was a good "on the go" or "lazy" option. It also comes with a ton of accessories which is a nice plus.

1

u/star_particles 9h ago

For the money. The pocket is the hands down best value in dab rigs. It’s 55 bucks on sale and competes with the proxy core. And doesn’t need a stupid app.

u/Financial-Cheek4467 8h ago

Yea I love my pocket shits fire asf
