Taking It Further With Glass
You’re also encouraged to experiment with a variety of glass accessories offered by POTV. The Lobo comes with a short, dimpled glass mouthpiece that feels good on the lips, but there are plenty of ways to switch things up.
I picked up their curved mini glass bubbler and the water pipe adapter, both of which add a different feel to the session.
I’ve got one of those steel bongs, and it became my favorite way to use it. I’m used to quick, punchy hits with my bong, but the Lobo demands long, steady draws rather than a quick rush, so it took a second to adjust. It cools those extended hits down to the point where you barely feel them going in, until you exhale a massive cloud and it all catches up.
Perks of the POTV Lobo
There are a few smaller details about the Lobo that don’t sound flashy on paper, but make a real difference once you start using it regularly.
The swappable battery is a really nice feature. At one point, I was all set for a session, full bowl packed, sitting on the couch, ready to go. I turned it on, got a few hits in, and it died. What a bummer.
Luckily, I had a spare 18650 charged up. I swapped the dead one out, popped in the fresh battery, and got right back to it.
Cleaning is also pretty easy. There are only a few pieces to soak when it gets really gunked up, but otherwise, a quick brush out after each session keeps things in good shape.
The Lobo holds around 0.2g, and I was able to get two, sometimes three, solid sessions before needing to reload. Your mileage may vary, but for me, it doesn’t take much to hit that sweet spot, so a full oven can actually go a long way.
The Tradeoff of Dry Herb Vapes and Where the Lobo Lands
While the Lobo is a fantastic vaporizer, it won’t completely match everything you may love about smoking. You won’t get that sharp, immediate punch of a bong rip or the simplicity of sparking a joint, but it hits hard when you want it to, and it’s easy enough to dial in.
The Lobo offers a different kind of experience, one that’s smoother, more controlled, and a lot easier on your lungs, without losing those potent highs.
If you’ve been thinking about making the switch or just want to dip your toes in, the
POTV Lobo is a solid choice. It’s easy to use, delivers potent results, and has a strong lineup of glass accessories to build around. For under $200, it makes a compelling case for ditching the smoke.
