You should be careful what you buy! There are a ton of options out there and a lot of cheap stuff that could be really bad for you. Do you research. Obviously, we are bias toward the hopper. We use only the safest materials available to us and packed in a ton of great features. Vapes have a bad name for being "weak" and not providing you the same effects. This is not the Grasshopper. A smoker will have a better transition to vaping with the Grasshopper than anything else.
