I know folks who swear by the Zero but want to try the Play. Others say the Play or nothing.
I visited a vape shop for the first time a couple of weeks ago and everybody in the place was puffing on a Play. The owner had just received their first batch and other employees had tested them out and put away their full sized gear after trying them.
In the display case there was a bronze and a rainbow. I bought both and some replacements tanks. They had some Zero refills but no Zeros so I asked if they stock those. The owner said he sells out of those quickly. He said "I can't restock Zero's fast enough". It's a small shop so he orders like 5 at a time from his supplier. I used to buy from a chain who said they order 20 Zeros a month and sell out long before time to re-order.
So now that the Play is showing up in shops the Zero may stock may begin to collect dust for a while. For all intents and purposes the Play and Zero share the same genes. The vape experience is also very similar. So it really boils down to a size/weight preference or if the round versus duck bill tip is preferred.
I find the Zero duck bill feels more natural to me. Yet as a dual user the round tip'd Play thwarts the cigarette craving a bit better. Plus it's just cool to pull out the Play, click the top open with that famous Zippo sound, take a puff and close it with that familiar click and watch the crowd who assumed it was a cigarette lighter.
The Zero disappears in a pocket. If you're like me and carry coins, a knife and other small items everyday that is a virtue. In a shirt pocket you forget it's even there. Setting on your desk it looks like a usb device. There is no wrong way to install a new pod. And the push to fill port is virtually leak proof. Note I left a Zero in a vehicle with windows up for several days as a test and some juice had leaked out, yet the device still worked normal after cleaning the contacts.
The Play does not take up much more real estate than the Zero. But for shirt pocket carry is weighty enough to remember it's there. Setting on a desk it just looks cool all mingling in with a celphone, pens and papers. It becomes a conversation peice at times too. Especially with the seasoned folks. The top fill push to fill means it can be filled 'on the fly', which is much more convenient. And the honey colored window gives a much easier view of remaining juice versus the darker Zero tank. The pod install is pretty fool-proof.
I find production a wee bit better from the Play, but noteably smoother from the Zero with my style of drag effort. I always had issues with leftover unspent juice from full sized gear but have noted very little of that with the Play or Zero. And no spit-back at all. Both are pretty quiet. But for uber quiet stealth vape the Play is the way to go. An ever-so-slight pull from a Play gives a light amount of vape where the Zero requires more effort that results in a slight sucking sound.
Using a multi-texture juice I noticed the Play gives hints of the various flavors a bit better than the Zero with both set on medium. Not enough to choose the Play over the Zero forever. But it does seem the Play coil system does produce a wee bit better.
To me either one is reason for my full size gear to remain tucked away.
