I am not in any way, shape, or form, affiliated with ErboPipe... I was doing research on the internet before I made my purchase, and couldn't find an unbiased review from someone who actually owned one. I know alot of Cannabis.com members read Skunk, so I wanted to take the time to write a review. I hope you all like it. :bong:
Review: Erbo Pipe smoking device
Skunk magazine did a full 2 page write-up on this device in the June 2007 issue. The article described it as a motorized bong/vaporizer/shotgun, that provides the user with a hygienic (your lips never touch the tube... it uses a small fan to blow out a stream of smoke) nearly cough-free experience. As I get older, I am finding it harder and harder to take the big rips and tokes I used to, so the idea of cough-free smoking made me wanna give it a shot. I found a new one on eBay for $70 shipped (the Skunk article said it was about $100), so I decided to try it. When the box arrived in the mail, I was a bit disappointed... The box was only about the size of 2-3 packs of cigarettes. I opened the box, and found it to be very well packaged, and in great shape. In the box, was a very crappy photocopied manual, and a spiffy new electric bong, that when assembled, resembles an old-fashioned oil can. I followed the instructions, and carefully installed a pair of AA batteries, added a teaspoon of water to the "expansion chamber" (the instructions were VERY specific about using exactly 1tsp of water), packed the bowl up with some pot, and lit the bowl by adding flame and pushing the button. It isn't really a vaporizer at all, as you burn the smoking material, but I gotta say, it is the easiest way I've ever smoked, and it takes about 1/2 much pot as a normal pipe to get the same results, plus you never put your lips on it, so you can't pick up your toke'n buddy's cold. The smoke that comes out is very cool and moist, and is very easy on the lungs (didn't cough once! Very unusual for me...). I give it a 9 outta 10. It would have scored higher if the batteries were easier to install, and the dome portion was made of glass, but I must say, I am very satisfied with my purchase.
