“I've only had the APX V3 for three days now so I have given it about forty or fifty cycles (who's counting). It heats up quickly and the controls are easy to understand. The draw is hard and a bit hotter compared to my Crafty (I've gone through four Crafty's in the past two years). It comes up to temp quickly and recharges quickly as well. Haven't had to clean the mouthpiece yet but it comes apart and you can get replacements for $12.”
