The Official Vaporizer Thread
#66918 - 06/26/08 07:34 PM (15 years, 8 months ago) |

Hey Kids,
I thought it would be cool to start a thread about vaporizers. The first time I smoked out of a vaporizer was about two years ago, however I just bought my first vaporizer about two months ago. Since I bought it after smoking pot for nearly ten years, I'm having the best highs of my life. It's to the point now that except when I'm driving, I will not smoke out of anything but a vaporizer. I know that makes me seem like an asshole or an elitist but the difference is so big in my mind. Literally in my opinion the highs you get from smoking pot from a vaporizer is so much better and lasts longer than just smoking from a pipe, bong, blunt, joint, knives, etc. So I think this thread should be about vaporizers. If you own a certain model post a picture and a review about it. If you have questions about vaporizers, ask them here. And let's just keep it going because I fucking love vaporizers and I want everyone to try them and get into them because you guys won't be sorry
Okay so here's my model.
Name: I have no idea
Info: I have absolutely no idea what model my vaporizer is. It looks just like this one expect it's bigger with a cool little stash drawer under the heating element big enough to hold maybe a half ounce of weed. It's all electronic which is cool because I hate to fool with knobs. I picked it up at a local smoke shop for $99.99 but I've seen models that look like this online anywhere from $50 to $150. I'm pretty sure mine is a Chinese knock off because it came with directions that consisted of hilariously bad broken English. Also I've seen these types of vaporizers being made and being sold from at least a dozen different companies.
Use: Turn vaporizer on, set temperature, wait for unit to heat up. Grind up some pot and put it in the big end of the hose. When the temperature is hot enough, connect hose to vaporizer and smoke.
Pros: Such a simple and basic vaporizer. I don't want to have to go to college for two years to figure out how to work something. This beast is simple and efficient and gives great hits.
Also an unexpected pro is with the digital display on the front, as you breath the vapor in, the vaporizer will cool and the temperature of the unit will drop. We've actually invented the THC Olympics where we'll see how who can get the vaporizer to drop the furtherest. The way we play is to let the vaporizer get to the 420 degrees and then hit it as hard as we can. The record right now is 129 I think.
This vaporizer is a fucking tank man. It's been dropped a couple of times and always stood up to the beating. It's also been in heavy use since I bought and so far continues working magnificently.
Cons: The screen the hose is unbelievable hard to replace. I spent nearly two hours the other day fucking with the screens in the unit trying to replace them. It is really my only source of annoyance with this vaporizer but it is a real bitch to replace the screens. The broken english directions don't tell you how and the videos and instructions on the internet are complicated. What makes me the angriest is the poor design in regards to the screens. If they had simply employed a twist lock two piece bowl piece rather than a one piece, this system would be almost perfect. However, this one flaw while small will come back to annoy the fuck out of you every few weeks.
The fact that according to the display, the temperature swings so much would probably annoy the more upper-class realm of pot smokers. To me it's just fine because honestly the time it takes to get back to it's target temperature is time I need to catch my breath and prepare myself for the next hit. However, it really isn't consistent in terms of the flow of pot you get. However, the way I do it is I hit it and get it as far down as I can and then let it build back to 350 to 400 and go again. It really doesn't matter because honestly after about five or six good rips, I'm taking little baby tokes because the first five or six rips fucked me up so good that I can only do baby hits. It's really not a problem to me, but I could see how this would annoy others.
Stoned Rating - 9 out of 10
For comparisons
Joint - 3 out of 10 Blunt - 5 out of 10 Bong - 6 out of 10 Hookah - 7.5 out of 10 Knife Hits - 5 out of 10

Using hookah charcoals I would. Mixing up some pot with some hookah tobacco and then smoking it with friends was my favorite method before I got a vaporizer. But honestly that's why I switched to a vaporizer because it was killing my throat and the high was kind of dirty to me. The longer the pot smoking experience goes, the more I tend to like it.
Bongs are great man, they're the staple of the pot smoking culture. But they're kind of inefficient in my mind and the pot goes quick. I still have a pretty vicious collection of bongs though accumulated through the years though

Smoking Hookah is one of my favorite past-times, and it's a great social activity as well. When it's you and a couple of other people sitting in a basement somewhere or a calm room somewhere with some cool music in the background and you're just smoking the hookah, some of the best times, connections, and conversations you'll ever have will occur. And when you throw some pot into the hookah, man... it is some good times.

I've smoked a Volcano before for a high times taste test thing believe it or not. Those are definitely the 10 on my Stoned Rating. The way that beautiful machine fucked me and my friend up is still legendary to this day. I really am considering saving the money to get one but honestly my little cheap chinese vaporizer is so fucking amazing for a fifth of the price that I wonder if I should even shell out the bucks. Probably soon once I get bored with my chinese knock-off but we'll see.
Does anyone else find the high from vaporizers can last as long as three days? I might be alone in this and it might get me some hate, but I seriously believe this and can elaborate if anyone wants.

I love hookahs too. Its great throwin some hash in there with the shisha as well. I prefer it to weed in there. But bongs definitely get me higher.
The THC+nicotine that the hookah delivers is great

Keep in mind my ratings are just my opinions, I don't profess that my ideas or words are the gospel or completely true. However, my ratings were based mainly upon impact, quality of high, ease of use and length of high. I think knife hits dominate joints on impact and are easier to prepare while joints have a better quality and length. It's just my opinion though.
Also Wowwitch, if you want to try an experience with your hookah. Try throwing some whiskey or high proof drinking alcohol into your hookah reservoir while your smoking. There is a lot of varying debate on whether this does anything or not but having tried it, I'm fairly certain there is a strange thirty minute to hour long buzz that comes from it.

Absolutely. Honestly I was completely cynical when I bought it. I bought it on a impulse and was angry at myself afterwards for spending so much money on some Chinese piece of shit that looked like it was going to break in a week. And then I used it for the first time. And I can honestly say that this vaporizer is one of the greatest things I've ever owned or used. Aside from the anger session I had trying to replace the screen, this thing has been a dream and been flawless. I would highly recommend them, especially for the price.
In fact that reminds me of what I wanted to say originally. You could pick one of these vaporizers up for probably $70 to $90 online or pick one up in a local headshop. Now they may seem a bit spendy, especially to the nickel and dime pot heads or the younger pot heads out there. However, that's the price of a decent bong. And also it's been my experience with vaporizers that the highs are so much better and last so much longer, and you also use about a third of the pot you normally would. All this is just my opinion though.

for me
vape = 10 bong = 8 blunt = 7
I smoke a lot of joints so it's kinda biased.. that's my preferance because it's always availible.
Blunts would get a 9 if waste wasn't an issue. I love smoking blunts is freaken awesome.

I've actually been wanting a vaporizer for quite a while now, being pretty much a health nut nowadays.
Does anyone know any good online distributor I can get a reliable one for about a hundred? Links would be appreciated.

I'd just get a vape genie if I was only to spend 100$
then I'd upgrade to a volcano or something.

Original Vapor Bros. here. This is the vapo that started the "wooden box" trend. I highly recommend the vapor bros. brand, they are very durable and well made. This one has been in constant use for over 3 years.
There are lots of imitators, most probably work just the same. It's no volcano obviously, but it is my preferred smoking method. especially with a new screen and cleaned out whip and some tasty nugs.
when i really wanna smoke hella dope, i fire up two vapos at once.

The Vapor Bros seems really nice, but 140 is a little steep.
Koons, have you used a vape genie? I like that it is cheaper, smaller, and portable, but I don't know if it is reliable.

Dude I walked into a smoke shop today and of course there prominently on display was a digital volcano for $650. I had just enough in my savings account to buy one but I can't justify going broke and hungry for the next couple of weeks, especially when I have a perfectly good vaporizer sitting in my house. Besides it would've been stupid to buy it because then I'd have no money for pot. Damnit though... I suddenly want one really bad. Guess I best get to saving.
And to anyone who asked if it's worth it to buy a vaporizer. If you regularly smoke marijuana there is absolutely no reason not to get one, at least one of the wooden box cheaper ones. It literally enhanced and makes pot so so much better. In my opinion. Although just about everyone who's hit a working vaporizer or who owns one will say the same thing.

so it's a bit under half the cost of a volcano.

Hey kids, just a friendly reminder and suggestion to clean your vaporizers regularly. My vaporizer tonight started to act funny and actually started to burn the pot like a normal bong and gave off a really nasty taste and unpleasant experience. Except for changing the screen, I really haven't attempt to clean the vaporizer in the over two months since I've had it. A dark brown, liquidy resin that is a bitch to clean has formed all over the bulb piece and in the tube.
I'd highly recommend everyone clean their vaporizers at least once a week to keep good hits a flowing. My recommendation for the people with wooden box vaporizers is to clean you glass piece by getting a ziplock bag and pouring rubbing alcohol and a good amount of table salt into the bag. Take the hose out of the glass piece and put the glass piece into the ziplock bag with the rubbing alcohol and salt. Shake bag well for about five minutes. Then take glass piece out of bag and run under warm water. It works really well.
Also, I saw a knock off the Volcano today in a smoke shop that was around $300. I'm considering getting the knock off Volcano in the near future.

This is a pretty noob question, but considering the purpose of vaporizers is to give the user only thc and as little other chemicals as possible, will smoking mids give one the same high as smoking nugs or headies, or are the certain types of high still distinctive?

actually the purpose of a vaporizer to to vaporize active chemicals; thc, cbd ect; without combustion. The ratio of the active cannabinoids remains unchanged.
most users say the vaporizer high is different from smoking but still note differences in strains.

So as not to start a new thread...
As some of you may know I broke my vaporizer yesterday by smoking it in my car and the power adapter sent a surge that fried the electronics.
But it's cool because I just bought a new vaporizer today. I'm just disappointed that for the foreseeable future I'm not going to be able to smoke in my car because seriously hitting that vaporizer while driving on the freeway yesterday was divine. But that's alright, gotta sacrifice a little bit of joy in some places to get it in others.
It is also unbelievable how much vaporizers fuck you up. Yesterday I kid you not, for the first time in almost two months I smoked blunts and joints. I smoked about ten joints and a couple of blunts and I was high but not ripped like I've been in the past. And seriously for about a 1/10th of the pot I could've gotten way way higher on a vaporizer.

Well yesterday while driving around before I fried my vap, I was smoking for over a 40 minutes with about a gram in the vaporizer. I honestly think I smoke about half as much as I normally would.

So has anyone moved from a vapor bros or box vaporizer onto a volcano?
I'm going to buy one or the other in a few months, but I have no experience with vaporizers at all.

LOL agreed. My Volcano was so popular someone stole it from me within a month of having it... So I bought the digital one and only my inner circle get to use it now. Almost time to bring it out for another harvest party
10/10
My favorite cheap vaporizer is the Easy Vape at around $150 for people that cant afford the $500+ for the Volcano. I found a lot of cheap ones have that plastic "gas-mask" taste that you might remember from those gas mask bongs that were popular in the 90s.

Great thread!! we LOVE our vapoizer!!! Started out with a model similar to this but ended up getting a silver surfer, More $$$$ but worth every penny Quote:
Cons: The screen the hose is unbelievable hard to replace. I spent nearly two hours the other day fucking with the screens in the unit trying to replace them. It is really my only source of annoyance with this vaporizer but it is a real bitch to replace the screens. The broken english directions don't tell you how and the videos and instructions on the internet are complicated. What makes me the angriest is the poor design in regards to the screens. If they had simply employed a twist lock two piece bowl piece rather than a one piece, this system would be almost perfect. However, this one flaw while small will come back to annoy the fuck out of you every few weeks.
We found out that you don't have to take the screens out, just take the whip off and use some Resonate cleaner for the glass tube. DO NOT use Resonate on anything plastic!!! you'll NEVER get the taste out.

If you look around in the forums you can find a thread dealing with the VRip Tech vapor wand, that comes HIGHLY recommended by one of our members. I think that's the one I'm gonna get.

The Easy-Vape
retails for $150 but you can score them brand new on e-bay for $80.
I've had mine for almost 2 years now and I got rid of my hands-free vape bros. because I liked it better. Plastic, not wood, but still plenty durable with a ceramic heating element and almost half the price . Comes with a 5 year warranty and from my research the only thing you have to worry about going wrong is blowing the fuse which is a quick $5 fix. Uses 18mm gong joints compared to Vape Bros' 14mm.

Surprised it took this long for someone to recommend this, especially when he specified that he could not decide between a bong and vape.

I finally convinced my wife that we need one!
She had never smoked before we got married, (a little more than a year ago) and now she's a convert. We smoke together, and we're gonna be growing together; now we'll have a VRIPTECH together!

bump it up... Sooo i ordered a Vrip Tech kit from vaporstore (online), its on its way, UPS says it will be here Wednesday Feb 3, 2010... I am very excited! I paid a grand total of 296.96 and I used a promo code to get 10% off my order... may not seem like much, but when the original total is over 300ish, i'll gladly use it... the code is "tjoos". (If anyone is interested) I'll update with pics when it comes.

You got the entire KIT for $300? The new perK, vapemaster, bowls and case? If so you got a steal man!
Shoot me a PM when you get it and I'll teach you how to use it, it has a pretty steep learning curve.
The factory settings on the vape are supposed to be set at a specific setting but sometimes their not. Mine is one of the vapes that were not set right. It's not problem, it just means it won't heat up as hot as it should, which also means you won't get nice milk shots. If you're not getting milk shots on the highest setting then you're needs to be tweaked. It's a very easy process and I'll walk you through it.
You NEED a surge protector, use it every time you use the vape. This not only helps to make the vape more efficient and heat faster/better but it protects the vape from shorting out or having electrical problems.
The light on the vape tells you when it's heating, light on= heat on. When you're done using it turn the temp setting down and let it heat down a bit before you turn it off, this protects the glass from breaking or becoming fragile.
Congratulations are your new purchase. You very well might be saying goodbye to smoke very soon!
Feel free to hit me up, I love talking about vaporizing.

The site I ordered from says...
VripTech Water Tool Pro Model - Package Deal
VripTech introduces Vapor-optimized dimensions including a completely removable taper joint ground glass slide-style down stem that accepts the larger 18mm vaporization chamber bowl and the 12mm Valloon VripTech water tool (VWT) delivery slide. We added the new VripGrip™ ice catch and heavier wall Pyrex™. All-glass function with class and aesthetically-conscious design. Includes: Pro Tool + Heat Wand + VCB + w/Down Stem 18.8mm
(no pelican case, no perK, no diffused down stem, no glass stand)
Total - 329.95
(then i used the code "tjoos" and got it down to 296.96)
https://www.vaporstore.com/proddetail.php?prod=vriptech-water-tool-pro-model-package-deal
I will PM you when i get it Fox, thanks for the help and the quick response... I am so very psyched about this, I read about the vrip in Jason King's Cannabible series. If JK says its good, its gotta be...

Ahh very nice. The Cannabible is where I first learned of VripTech as well! Although he did a review of the original heat gun. The wand is FAR superior! The all glass vapor path is simply beautiful and I know you'll be able to tell the difference. After using it, you'll probably understand why I dislike whips and volcano's so much now, there's just not comparison. Jason King is a pot snob, and that's why we get along so well
You got a pretty nice deal though. The only thing I would recommend upgrading is to the diffuser down stem, it's not essential but it does really help to moisturize the vapor.

yeah, i was kinda disappointed that it doesn't come with a diff. d-stem but... there is a great head shop near by that sells all kinds of custom parts, they have a glass blower that works there, they said they can make anything i ever need at "recession prices", the shop is incredible so i have no reason to doubt. I used to have a "blue dot" bong w/Percolator and a diffused down stem... it makes all the difference to me when smoking.
I envy Jason King, he has probably tasted more varieties of cannabis than anyone...anywhere...ever! He has experience, that's for sure...
Tomorrow is the big day! AND LET ME JUST SAY...Nothing teaches patience like having to wait impatiently for things in the mail... I'm going crazy with anticipation

I'm excited for you!
Yes that does indeed teach you patience. At least you get to try it out when it arrives! I had to wait three weeks to try mine out when I first got it, now that was testing my patience! Although it was fun taking play hits until I could do the real thing
I'll send you a message tonight or tomorrow morning.

Today is the Big Day!!! My Vrip order has finally arrived after waiting 1 whole week (it felt like it would never get here!)
So without further adieu I present to you all: The Vrip Water Tool Pro Model (Package Deal)
-Package contents: Pro Water Tool / Heat Wand / 2 Piece VCB / 18.8mm slide-
-This is the 18.8mm slide and 2 piece "VCB" [Vacuum Chamber Bowl]-
-Fully constructed "VCB" with Slide-
-Fully Constructed "Vrip Water Tool Pro Model" -
-Vrip Master Heat Wand-
-The only True "all glass" Vaporizer-
So there you have it! A new in depth look at this particular version, one of Vriptech's finest creations! I just gotta wait for the wife now to try it outbut after the week i just had to endure... whats one more hour?
If you like what you see rate AND appreciate
I'll post a follow up on the taste/smell/effect/etc. after the wife and I test it out!
(EDIT)
-Follow up-
I'd first like to say that I downloaded the instruction booklet from vriptech international,
-The wand- I turned the heat dial to its highest setting and allowed my wand to heat up for 10 min. in a ceramic coffee mug this helps it to reach inital heating temps and sustain heat better in between hits.
-The Water Tool Pro- After fully assembling the Water Tool I add water to the appropriate level just above the end of the slide also ice cubes for the ice catch. The lower VCB has a screen in it that's holding my finely trimmed herb, filled to the brim, and packed evenly. I then attach my upper VCB with a slow and snug downward twist making sure the o-rings have a proper seal...and we're ready for take off!
-The Vrip Experience- After the 10min. warm up time, I lower the wand to the upper VCB and insert it to where the heat wand's outer o-ring makes an air seal with the inside of the Bowl. Next, drawing in my first breath at a steady pace I begin to see vapors fill the chamber. I exhale.. (a few vapors wisp out of my mouth) then I remove the slide and take my very first "VRIP"... I taste everything in this particular specimen, very skunky, smooth, and light. It was painless to hold this in, no tickle in my throat begging me to cough up a storm, no pressure in my chest while letting it all sink in. It was as if I had breathed in a fresh delicious cool breath of air, while on the exhale a massive amount of savory vapor slowly floated on out the window... By the time my wife had taken her first Vrip and handed it back to me I was noticeably high...
After going back and forth for a few minutes allowing the wand to sit in the mug between vrips. This vaporizer allowed us to fully enjoy more taste and medicinal effect from a half gram of herb than ever before, while getting full milky vrips about 4 times a piece. (8 hits total). Next time I probably wont use that much herb either
[I wanna ADD that I'm writing this the day after we tested it, and, from that minuscule amount of herb, we enjoyed a high that lasted till after we ate and went to bed 4 hours later...]
The Vrip S.V.T. (Super Vaporization Technique) manual has scientific journals showing Vapor potency being some 200-400% stronger when compared to normal combustion methods as well as (if over heated) very little to no carcinogens or tars... I have great respect for the VripMaster's efficiency to extract the therapeutic and medicinal properties in such a quick, delicious, and healthy way; all while using a significantly less amount of herb.
-Now having personally experienced True Vaporization-
I don't really see the "steep" learning curve many have mentioned when it comes to this tool. Just read the online instructions (Online SVT), use a little common sense and/or having a few trial and error runs with it, and you will achieve milky vapor vrips with soaring highs and minimal waste.
Id also like to add that I think many people write off vaporizers as a bad experience in general, without ever having one of these come their ways. It is completely different then any other vape on the market. Its entirely unique and worth every penny I spent. I do hope everyone gets at least 1 chance in their life to try this vaporizer, it has no rival IMO. I think once people realize its potential in saving money and achieving longer lasting, healthier highs, there will be no looking back
