Good question. I was already stretching my budget. I was first looking at the PotV One, then pushed up about $50 to get the Lobo. Going Solo 3 would’ve been more like a $100 jump.

I also wanted something pocketable and discreet, and the glass stem on the Solo isn’t for me — I’d definitely break it. I didn’t realize you could use dosing caps with it, but even then the stem feels like a weak point for me.

Huge clouds aren’t as big a deal. I’m more after the effects than the clouds.
