Over The Counter Marijuana Vaping Pens - Opinions?

I am going to Colorado this coming weekend to pick up some supplies (yeah, brother!). I saw a show on television about the pot gold rush in Colorado and one of the things they really focused on were these vaping pens that are like the e-cigarettes, but dispense heated hash oil.
Has anyone used this product? Are there any opinions out there as to the cost efficiency, value and quality of these products? I'm thinking about getting a vaping pen instead of weed and loading up on cartridges as this would be easier on these older lungs and would be very discrete - allowing me to take it with me anywhere and medicate anytime I need to medicate.
Thoughts?

I use one. It is pretty great. No substitute for delicious buds though. Buy both.

Are you talking about vaporizer pens like the cloud V, and micro vaped that are designed to vape hash oil? Or are you talking about eGo-t style electronic cigarettes that you load with a thc infused liquid? I've never tried the later but have heard good things about it and I have used a cloud V and a micro vaped and I'd suggest the cloud V platinum. It rips, is conservative and is the epitome of portable and stealthy

I'm not sure exactly what you are referring to. As far as I know, there are no over-the-counter electronic hash oil vaporizers, but thats if we're talking about the eCigs that most gas stations have pre-packed with nicotine liquid that turns into vapor when smoked. Gpens (link in my previous post) and other hash oil/concentrate pens are very widespread, but those are specialized and are bought online or in headshops, not your everyday metro mart. And they don't come with concentrate already in them.

G-pens are shitty products now. When they first started coming out they used quality parts. Now they realized they'll make more money on replacements.
I'd buy an ego and then buy one of those gentlemans glass globes. then just buy some nice honey oil.
G-pen will break really fast.

Oh when a G-pen works(it didn't for long) I actually like it better than dabbing. You get alot more range of turpines because you slowly heat it up to vaporization. Plus I'd get like 4-5 hits from 1 small dabs worth of oil. When I figured out I could put it on my 14.5 GonG thats what I rocked instead of my swing for a while.
God this is bringing back good memories. I'm gonna make oil soon...

Ok. So, I buy two gpens right? I figure fuck it I'll buy em in a new local head shop give them some business. First day, cartridge on one blows. I see how the wick has fucked the coil from being caught on it. Then the battery and lights go on my second one while I'm waiting on cartridges that I bought from grencoscience.com to get my gpens back up and running. The small screens in the top piece were missing on both of them, so thankfully I could at least piece together the remaining two that I have now.
I'm normally not a complaining customer but I can take it to the next level. Between this new fuckwad shop and Grencoscience I about lost my ever-loving mind. The only solution to this? The head shop gives me a two pack of MicroG. I had recently spent a lot of money there in a relatively short period of time for some other things when I could've bought shit a lot cheaper on the Internet.
I am using the MicroG for my essential oils. Suddenly the lights start blinking odd and I didn't remember reading about that in the manual. It crosses my mind the coil is malfunctioning and will just burn until it explodes unless I do something. I disable it safely (thank god for growing up with firefighters) and no longer will use my other microG.
Of the four cartridges that the headshop mailed me personally after I wrote the owner's owner a fucking letter in pen about this whole fucking shit show. I also went so far as to send a photo of the receipt of the store I bought it from; I gave GrencoScience their contact information and now have not heard back from them or received anything.
The head shop leader guy or manager whatever the shit sends me four more cartridges. He parted his inventory out. Regardless, two of them don't fucking work, and one looks like a small house fire waiting to happen. It's really amazing to be holding something in your hand that's going to explode.
So I've now purchased:
Two full gpens, for the wife and I. Replacement cartridges with $20 ever-loving bucks on shipping. They were like $30 each, I am still wondering why I ever paid the price for it. Four 'different people' at Grenco Science giving zero fucks. Even the free shit that people gave me for this whole disaster was broken, malfunctioning or hazardous.
So, of the whole fiasco, I dropped a shitload of money on retarded faulty and dangerous equipment. There's no way I'd ever recommend business with this company. If not for their shitty service and scumbagsteves, then for your own health and safety. Even when one was "off" from hitting the button five times to lock it and seeing it locked, it rolls over and turns itself on. There was even a contact missing in one of them that goes right into the battery. Yes, the thing that makes these work.
I work with my hands for a living making things and working with small complicated things. I am not a random internet idiot.
I hope this message gets posted all over other drug forums or a main Google result. Never even smoke out of these things.

I bought the absolute first run of the original G-Pen. The tanks ran perfectly for like 8 months. Then one broke and customer service sent me new tanks. Then about 4 months later my battery went out and I called for a new one, which in their defense they sent. But 6 months down the road the tanks and the battery went out.
These fucks are asshole rebranders with a nice customer service staff. Thank god mine didn't blow up on me!

LOL! I didn't know the gpen was so hated…
I have a micro and it has never been a problem for me….ever. Normal battery life, easy to clean if it gets waxy, etc.
EDIT: that gentleman's globe looks awesome! 35$ is a good snag, my only concern is the huge bowl since I usually don't like to waste oil/wax and I feel like a lot would stick out of reach of the coil.
