Browsing Posts in Vaporizers

I heard about these vaporizers roughly a year ago but was always a little bit skeptical about how well they would work. After reading through LOTS of great reviews I decided to give it a try for myself and I have to tell you, I’ve not been disappointed.

The reason I was skeptical in the first place was the simplicity of its design but after actually using the Magic Flight Launch Box, I have discovered that its simplicity is the reason the product is so good. Having so few parts means that there is a lot less that can go wrong with it.

The unit itself is surprisingly small/compact and comes in a very nice travel tin which is small enough to fit in your pocket or bag whilst still being able to contain all of the necessary accessories and charger.

As for actually using the unit, it is very easy to use and very effective. You simply fill the chamber, hold in the battery for 3-5 seconds and then in-hale. It does take a little getting used to, as if you hold the battery in for too long it can overheat the plant material which can lead to combustion. However, don’t let this put you off. Once you get used to it, it truly is an awesome vaporizer and is most definitely worthy of the reputation it has acquired in the last year.

I have been using a friend’s Iolite vaporizer whenever I’ve had the chance for quite some time now. I love the ease of use, how portable it is, how clean the hit you get from it is; everything. And so for quite some time I’ve been thinking about, but not acting on, getting my own one.

I finally decided to take the plunge and get one, but instead I noticed that a new handheld portable vaporizer was available for the same price as the Iolite. The Vapir No2. I have previously tried the original Vapir, which was OK, a little noisy at times, and certainly no where near as good as the Iolite, but the Vapir No2 Vape intrigued me.

It is smaller and lighter than the original Vapir and boasted on the box that it is silent during use. This, coupled with the digital tempertaure display on the front, convinced me to try this vaporizer instead.

I am so glad that I did. This vaporizer is incredibly simple to use, and they weren’t lying when they said it was quiet! Whereas the Iolite is butane powered, the Vapir No2 has a rechargeable battery so when you turn it on you don’t get any burning or hissing sounds. You can set the temperature to exactly what you want and it tells you when it has reached the set temperature.

The hit I got was just as good as a hit off an Iolite; even though I was getting high, my head felt clean, clear and creative.

I still love the Iolite. It is slightly smaller, has a carry case and is more aesthetically pleasing than the Vapir No2, and maybe I will get one one day. But the Vapir No2 has its own advantages too. It is quiet. You don’t have to keep it filled with butane, which has its own added costs. You can charge it at home an the charge on it seems to last ages. This is one investment that I am sure will pay for itself in no time at all.

Not long ago I tried using my friend’s Iolite vaporizer for the first time, and those of you who read this blog will remember that I completely fell in love with it. The cleanliness of the high, the creativity it bought, the fact that I hardly had to use any of my stash…

Well, much as I’d love to get one, unfortunately my budget isn’t going to stretch to £140 right now, so I thought I’d look into finding myself a cheaper alternative, and I purchased a Vaporstar Vaporizer instead.

If you don’t already own one, you need to buy a glass bong separately for this little Vaporizer to work, as the Vaporstar itself is purely a little wooden bong bowl with a metal ‘lid.’ I was a little dubious when I unwrapped this as I didn’t think it would do very much, and I was very unsure of how a bong bowl with a lid could transform a regular bong into a vaporizer.

Admittedly, this vape does take some getting used to.  Once your weed is ground, put a pinch in the bong bowl and cover it with the metal lid. You need to place this bong attachment into the neck of your small glass bong and then using a lighter, hold the flame over the top of the metal lid and slowly inhale. You hear a whistling sound and after a moment you can even see the bong starting to fill with vapour. It is quite easy to overdo this stage and you can end up with some slightly burnt weed, but if you are careful you get a pretty good hit!

OK, so this vape isn’t as good as an Iolite, but you wouldn’t expect it to be for such a fraction of the price. However, it does give a good, clean hit with a nice, clear high and for a mere £20, I’m one happy vaping bunny.

I recently tried out a mate’s Iolite. Gotta be honest, I was sceptical. I’m a pretty hardened smoker and didn’t think anything was going to be as good as kicking back and smoking a couple of joints. However I was convinced to do so as my friend is, if anything, an even more veteran smoker than I am and he couldn’t stop raving about it.

I took my first hit and remained entirely sceptical as I could hardly feel a thing. The only experience I could liken it to is when you’ve got a cold and are inhaling steam (which I guess is exactly what the vaporizer does) whereby you can tell that you inhaling something, but you certainly don’t get the same feeling in the lungs and chest as you do with smoking.

However, a couple of deep hits later and I realised just how high I was already. It was a very clean experience – the kind of high I haven’t had in years.  Very clear and very heady; almost psychedelic. I was almost instantly giggling like a child and wanted to go and be creative. I’m really used to having a few joints and using it to chill out until I get too monged to do anything, but this incredible experience made me pick up my guitar and I simply couldn’t stop playing.

After the Iolite was on for a while I did notice the mouthpiece starting to get quite hot, but we were able to rig a cooling system out of some pipe tubing, so we could keep going. The more I vaped, the more creative I felt myself getting which was incredibly unusual! There was certainly no sitting still and monging in front of the TV that night for this girl.

At £140 or thereabouts, the Iolite Vaporizer isn’t cheap but it really is an incredible experience! And I reckon that if you were to give up smoking entirely you’d probably save yourself quite a bit in the long run. In an evening we used less than half the amount of weed we usually would and no tobacco, so after just a short while the thing would pay for itself.

Personally I enjoy smoking too much to want to give it up straight away, but I’m definitely considering investing in one of these babies. I’m not going to want to smoke forever, and in the meantime it gave me such an amazing, different and creative experience, and I can’t wait to repeat it.

When it comes to legal highs, using herbs and other plants in bongs and vaporizers are two of the most common options.  Both approaches have their good points, but it is important to note that they don’t work in exactly the same way.  Chances are that after trying both, you’ll find that you prefer one method over the other.

With bongs, the herbs are burned, just as when smoking tobacco in a pipe.  When you inhale, you are inhaling the smoke that is generated by the burning, as well as the release of the elements of the particular herbs you are using.  If you like the sensation of smoke in the back of your throat, then you will want to go this route.

By contrast, Iolite vaporizers do not generate smoke; they create vapour.  With this approach, you use heat to warm the herbs and allow them to release steam or vapour that you can then inhale.  The effect is somewhat gentler than the smoke generated in a bong, and is less irritating to the throat.  At the same time, there are those who find that vaporizers produce a more effective and pleasant high, although fans of the bong would disagree.

In the end, it’s a matter of personal preference.  You may find that certain herbal combinations are better with a bong, while others are more enjoyable when using a  Iolite vaporizer.  If that is the case, by all means keep a glass bong and a good quality handheld vaporizer around for use whenever you like.

The Vapirvaporizer was the first digitally controlled vaporizer to appear in the shops
and it’s designed for people who vaporize wherever they go. The Vapir
is totally portable (even comes with its own back pack) and adapts to be used
in any country, worldwide.

The Vapir vaporizer works by producing heat through an internal ceramic heating

element. A fan blows air through the heating element and directly to your herbs to heat them to the desired temperature.

Here’s how you use the Vapir vaporizer:

Set the time and temperature.

Preheat the Vapir for a few minutes.

Put your herbs into the disc and then into the tray.

Leave to allow vaporizing process to develop.

A green light comes on when your chosen temperature is achieved.

Inhale. Repeat inhalation for 10 -15 minutes. Intensity of hits increases
with time.

Take out the disc if you want a break from inhaling to avoid wastage.

Inhaling with a vaporizer is very different from inhaling smoke. It is much
less harsh on the throat and you may not notice anything being passed into your
lungs. Keep inhaling until your herb stops releasing vapour. Sit back for a
couple of minutes and you’ll soon start to enjoy the effects.

The HandheldVaporizer is a very simple device that requires no plug, no batteries –
just herbs and a lighter. It’s also a lot cheaper than any other kind
of vaporizer.

How to Use a Handheld Vaporizer:

Put some of your herb mix into the large glass bowl.

Screw in the mouthpiece (the long stem).

Light a flame under the bowl to heat your herbs. Gently revolve the bowl whilst
the flame is lit.

When the bowl fills with vapour, inhale through the mouthpiece.

You won’t get the same sensation when you inhale using a vaporizer as
you get from smoking. With smoking you can feel the smoke hit the back of your
throat whereas with a vaporizer you barely notice anything. The effect of the
herbs, however, is far greater when you use a vaporizer.

The Vapureyes Beta vaporizer is the latest portable plug-in vaporizer at an affordable price. The Vapureyes is available in most good headshops and well worth a try.

The Vapureyes vaporizer is small – not much bigger than a can of fizzy drink, so it’s really easy to carry around. It’s nicely finished too, with quality parts.

How to Use a Vapureyes Vaporizer:

  1. Take off the lid off the Vapureyes and put your herb (no tobacco) into
    the gauze bowl.
  2. Replace the lid, plug in the Vapureyes and switch on.
  3. After a couple of minutes, the Vapureyes Beta will begin to fill up with vapour. (Don’t expect to see too much – it’s not like smoke.)
  4. Next, inhale through the plastic tube.
  5. You will experience hardly any harshness on the throat and a very clean, clear buzz.

Vapureyes have recently brought out a dual system edition called the Vapureyes
Dambuster. The Vapureyes Dambuster has a double heating arrangement for vaporizing
2 different herbs at once. It can also be used by 2 people at the same time.
It’s still pretty small as well, so a great vaporizer to take to parties.

The Volcano vaporizer is the most expensive vaporizer in the shops at the moment, made by
Storz & Bickel. It doesn’t use hoses for inhalation. Instead, it uses
bags. The Volcano vaporizer is a plug-in device and as your herb vaporizes,
the bag attached fills up. The bag can then be detached and with the use of
a valve you can inhale when you like and pass it around without any vapour escaping.

How to Use the Volcano Vaporizer:

Choose your temperature.

Turn on the heat and leave for 3- 5 minutes.

Put your herbs into the chamber (this should be detached from the vaporizer).

Place the chamber inside the Volcano vaporizer and allow your herbs to heat.

Attach the bag to the chamber. The valve should click into place.

The bag will fill with vapour. Once full, remove the bag and the chamber together
from the Volcano vaporizer.

Separate the bag from the chamber, then connect it to the mouthpiece.

Inhale from the bag as required. Use the contents within 5 – 10 minutes.

The Volcano vaporizer can be purchased from good headshops and come with a 3 year guarantee.

A vaporizer is hailed by many as the best device for taking cannabis or other herbs. Rather
than burning anything, a vaporizer simply heats up your substance. This extracts
the most potent chemicals in your herb for you to inhale. Discover a whole new
world and whole new high.

Health

There are many advantages of using a vaporizer, the health aspect being the
most important. As there is no burning, there is also no smoke and therefore
no harmful carcinogenics are inhaled. When you smoke using cigarettes, joints
or pipes, you are taking in burnt chemicals that are extremely bad for you.
And these don’t just come from the herbs or tobacco. Paper is also very
nasty in that respect. With vaporizing, all you get are the chemicals that you
want to exploit and nothing more.

High

With cannabis, the high you get through using a vaporizer is much better than
the high from any other smoking method. Once you’ve tried vaporizing,
you’ll wonder why you ever bothered doing anything else. Imagine a completely
clear, clean high with no foggy, sluggish, zoned-out feeling – just happy
and buzzy and still able to conduct most tasks (apart from operate dangerous
machinery, of course!). This is because, when heated to the right temperature
with a vaporizer, the THC chemical is extracted from cannabis. THC is what gets
you high. Other chemicals such as CBD which slow you down are not extracted
unless heated to a much higher temperature or burned.

Economy

Because you need so little herb to get the desired effect and because you don’t
waste anything, your herbs will last much longer when you vaporize. Vaporizers
can be expensive to buy, but you will make your money back quickly if you are
a

Smell

The smell of smoke in your house can be unpleasant. It sticks to your upholstery
and your clothes and it’s very difficult to get rid of. Tobacco smoke
is bad, but some cannabis strains are worse in terms of potency. Vaporizing
virtually eliminates odour problems. You might smell a light trace immediately
after using your vaporizer but this is gone within minutes.
