I have been using Frogmats for about a year and I use them for everything I smoke, I love them! So I was real excited when I was asked to test the new Q-MATZ. I wanted to see how they compare to Frogmats and I ran a couple of tests which I posted in different threads. In my tests I was only testing the Q-MATZ so I never mentioned Frogmats, I wanted it to be an unbiased test and not a comparison test, I also didn't want to mention Frogmats until the Q-MATZ were available to the public. Well they are available now so I want to compare the two.
To tell the truth I can only find one small difference in the two. The Q-MATZ have smaller holes, everything else about them looks exactly the same. The texture, the weave, the feel and the way they work all seems to be the same.
Oh wait there is one big difference in them, the PRICE! I looked at the website where I bought my Frogmats and at that time it was the least expensive place I could find them. They sell pre-cut sizes and the Q-MATZ are sold by the foot from standard width rolls so the best way I could come up with comparison pricing was to break it down to price per square inch. I checked all the sizes of Frogmats and they came out at 6 cents (or a little higher) per square inch and the Q-MATZ are less than 3 cents per square inch, so the Q-MATZ are less than half the cost of Frogmats!!!
Here are some pictures of the two side by side, the Q-MATZ is on the right. The Frogmat is a darker color because I have used it a lot but it was the same color as the Q-MATZ when it was brand new.
