Puffit vs Iolite

Vapor Quality

Since the Iolite uses purified butane, you get consistent vapor that is free of outside tastes. It has a catalytic converter that is very efficient in translating butane into heat. Most of your exhaust is H2O out the side of the unit. The unit only heats when it needs to get to its optimal temperature. The vapor quality is good.

Puffit
The Puffit produces decent vapor. It uses conduction heat to vaporize your botanical. However, you have to take long steady draws to get the most out of your botanical. The taste may also be a bit too harsh for some connoisseurs.

Winner – Iolite

Manufacturing Quality

Iolite

The Iolite V2 is small and light in its design. It uses purified butane to heat your botanical to generate your vapor. Since you don’t have to worry about charging batteries, this unit is good to go so long that you have topped up your butane levels. Unfortunately, it has had a increase in defects over the last few years.

Puffit
The Puffit is made and engineered to resemble an ordinary asthma inhaler. It is self-contained and lacks any sort of loose parts. More metal would have made the unit sturdier but overall it is pretty solid.

Portability

Iolite
Being small and slim, the Iolite is very portable. Since it uses purified butane, you never have to worry about running out of a charge. You do need refill the fuel every once in a while, but that is the price you pay for not having to run around finding an outlet.

Puffit
While the Puffit is small and relatively portable, the L-shaped design does make it somewhat difficult to stick in your pockets. The battery life isn’t too great on this unit. You can get one good vaping session in before you have to scramble to charge this unit. This is due to the battery being so close to the heat source and degrading it with every use. Charging takes about 2 hours to completely refill the battery.
