Had an Xmax Ace previously, and, while I initially enjoyed it, over time I found it cumbersome to fill, and hit and miss in terms of vape quality.

Easier oven loading was big on my wish list, and the pre-loadable glass tubes were a big draw for the Arizer. I also liked the shape, as I found the rectangle shape of the Xmax to be difficult to hold when trying to vape and do other things at the same time.

Vape-wise, I found the flavour of the vapour to be more even and consistent from the Arizer, and overall more enjoyable than the Xmax.

I noticed another review stating that you can burn your lips on the glass tubes – you can’t, they remain cool for the full 10 minute standard session with the vape at 210 celcius. If it still bothers you, I also bought 2 additional glass tubes with silicone mouthpieces, which I felt increased my enjoyment of the vape further.

Overall, I think the Arizer was a significant upgrade on the Xmax Ace, and worth the additional cost.
