Afternoon chaps
Total newbie here
Smoked for many years, but just recently decided to quit smoking cigarette's
So far so good, don't miss it at all. Do miss a proper smoke though!
So, i'm going to get me a vaporizer
I'm sure its been said or asked many times before, but I have no idea what I should be looking for
I don't smoke THAT much, maybe one or two joints a night. Basically, I want to be able to continue this, but without tobacco
I have absolutely no experience or knowledge whatsoever when it comes to vaporizers, so would love to hear some advice from someone
Thanks in advance!

congratulations quiting smoking cigarettes. Take a look at these vaporizers I have herd good things about these 2. If you only smoke 2 a night I would go with the herbalaire.

Do you want a simple, portable, lighter based vape? Vaporstar would be my suggestion there, since you're in the UK.
An electric, home based vape? You'd want convection, not one of the glass dome models. Those are conduction/hot plate vapes. A convection model will usually load in the whip, which you'd attach to the heater on the unit.

Stay strong while giving up cigs. You can do it. It was one of the greatest "things" I have accomplished in my life. The sheer will power! Wow. No patches then.
Now to vaporizers. I utilize both HerbalAire and the Vaporbros box. Both are good products in their respective price ranges. I find the HerbalAire to be a bit more needy than my box, but quicker to change and clean. Both have pros and cons. Both units do not put out a lot of smell which is very good. Far less than a joint/pipe etc. The choices are subjective to say the least. Do as much reading/research as possible, then it will hit you (no pun intended) as to which product will fit your lifestyle best. Luck to you.

Yes, congratulations on quitting smoking tobacco. It's been 12 years for me.
You might consider if a vaporizer that had smoking associations would be helpful or not. For example, there is the Vapor Genie. It's a pipe that puts a fire barrier between the bowl and the flame. You use a lighter, adjusting the distance of the flame and the strength of your pull to create the right vaporizing range. It gives you a lot to do with your hands too. But if the last thing you want is to be reminded of smoking, then maybe a bag vaporizer would be the thing. The vaporizer fills a bag, and then you breathe normally from the bag.
Regarding costs, the Vapor Genie is about $60-75, something like that, and the Volcano, the king of the bag vaporizers, is around $500 or more. In the middle, check out the Herbalaire, which fills bags and also lets you inhale vapor directly. It's about $250, I think.

All the following are GREAT vapes and all deserve your attention. Just do a bit of research as to which one will do what you want it to do. They all excel in certain areas, but none of them excel in all:
Volcano
HerbalAire
Extreme
VaporGenie
LaunchBox
Iolite
Purple Days
MyrtleZap
VaporBros
Da Buddha
Silver Surfer
Aromed
Herborizer
VripTech Heat Wand
VapoStar
Vapeman
Vapolution
Vaporfection
Verdamper
Just stay away from those cheap Chinese knock-off vapes that you find on Ebay.
