My first vape was a FM V5.0S and it lasted me a good few years before the battery gave out. Took a break and eventually got my hands on a Slick and it's what I've been using for the last 6ish months.

Personally, I like the V5.0S over the Slick. Better vapor quality and it hit me harder, though the Slick has a black ceramic bowl which is apparently better than white. I've tried with and without the dry pods and obviously the hits are better without, but they both get the job done.

One thing I do like about the Slick is the removable battery, which the V5.0S lacks. I think a good alternative that seems like a combo of both is the V5 Nano, which I'll probably get next once my Slick kicks the can. It has a removable battery, charges by micro USB, and a more accurate way to set temperature.
