I am desperately looking for a good portable vaporizer. I found this one called the oxygen at vapir.com. Has anyone tried this one or another good one that is a good buy?

Nope, love my vaporstar too much.
Portable and efficient, I can get vapour in 3-5 seconds almost anywhere as it doesn't need plugging in.

the vaporstar looks interesting (a little to much like a crackpipe though)
and it is very affordable. how is the temp? does your bud ever get to hot like that?

anyome else have any luck with a portable vape?

bob have you tried it?... how's the performance? No smoke?

I haven't tried it yet, no .. It takes some practice from what i understand.. To close and you combust in the tube (making it no different than a one hitter)

However, given the proper distance and appropriate flame length.. you can have it work very well.. giving you a vaporization and not combustion.

It runs like 20$... So the cost factor is there.

The owner of the THC invented it :)

i own one :) i like it very much, with a candle its kdain hard to get the hang of without burning anything, but with a heatun its easy as shit and gives some quite nice rips:)

let this go on the record too, when i got mine itwas a itch to use from the wbsite. If anyone has one and wants tips/tricks/how to, i can help them out no problem :)

I think I'm gonna buy it without the glass piece. Might as well post some of the tips here since a bunch of people in this thread are probably going to check it out.

If you follow the instructions it's great, if you heat it too much it in one spot will catch light, but it will extinguish itself soon as you stop sucking and you can vape the rest.
I'll get round to posting some pic's to show what I mean.
Bubble or any other hash is difficult to combust with this thing, and gives great vapour.

Like any tool it takes practice, who hasn't hit their thumb with a hammer or cut themselves shaving?

^^hes got the picture.

jakes what do you mean "get it without the glass piece"?

i really never use candle method unless i need to be suppppeer stealthy. like, mom in the next room with her ear pressed to the wall level of stealth. Heat gun is really the way to go. ive also tried a mini butane torch which actually tastes QUITE clean(no butane taste)! the only downside is its hardest to use, and generally you need to hold the tip of the vaporizer about 8"(:O) above the tip of the torch, try finding the sweet spot at that height!

so my vote still says, GET A HEAT GUN!

The Vapolution works great for me. It may not be a small pocket type vape, but it's portable and tough and you can use a battery pack. I take mine camping with me, and in the car (it comes with a car adapter) and it works WONDERFULLY. All for only 150$.

If your using a vaporstar, a small flame is all that is required.
I use less butane than lighting a spliff with mine.

:stoned: Vapogenie works well after one or two practice draws...I've done bud, bud w/ hash, honey bud and any fine ground bud. Some of the newer ones like try to improve the performance
and the classic pipe appearance make's it my fav portable pipe.:cool: I vaporize hash shavings on groung bud and in it turns like a gluey clump...this I drop into my vapopr whip and start drawing hit after hit...easy to maintain.

If I don't over use the same spot then no it doesn't overheat.
It takes the bud right up to the point of combustion, so it chars but doesn't ignite.

Then crumble http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t36/EternalDave/2005_1011Image00152.jpg
Then pop it back in the vape for 6 more hits.

Good informative pics DeepFriedBrain, to me the Vaporstar looks like the most interesting as it looks easier to learn(just look for the vapor) and easier to hold and basic Bic lighter fired. Anyone who owns this unit please go into a ton more detail. The Vaporstar looks like the perfect fit from the ultra chaep glass pipes and the ultra expensive electric location bound units. The Vapor hits from their website look very very quality. Vaporstar here I come as long as I can learn to get 95% clean vapors from it.

jfoster

the vaporstar looks pretty good, the vaporgenie is almost the same. i found out that my vaporgenie ceramic filter(the part that vaporizes) fits on my bongs bowl quite snugly.

Yes the VaporStar and the VaporGenie but work the same. It was DeepFriedBrains comment that got me looking at the VaporStar. What I like about it is the visual clues that assist you in learnig how to hit it really thick and deep. A lot of the $300+ electric vaporizer owner try to put these two units down in regards to the butane issue. But burnt butane is just water and carbon deoxide(ie..harmless we light herbs and ciggerettes with them every day). Yes the big expensive units are cleaner to hit but not by much at all. The VaporStar and VaporGenie hit 99% as clean as the big electric units and when you add all the other pluses the VaporStar and VaporGenie really stand out - The portablity is HUGE, then there the fact that you can go from cold to vapeing in under 8 second, the electric unit have to stay on and that isn't something I want on my mind. It all boils down to are you geting good thick clean vapor hits and if you talk to the owners of some of these newer breeds of lighter heated pipes they will tell you HELL YES and I love it. Just look at DeepFriedBrains comment in another thread he say once he got the VaporStar he only rolled once a month from then on.

Vapourstar - Online Shop (http://www.everyonedoesit.co.uk/online_headshop/productCategory.cfm?sC=Vapourstar&iProductCategoryID=836&iLastCatID=12)


$37 with out bong, $50 with it, but the bong is just one they sell so if you look on their site and find a bong you like better then just get the basic Vapostar and then you have a true bong also, make sure you get the glass type with the removable stem and you should be good to go. I like this one but unsure how it would be with the Vaporstar, should work ok but Vaporors wont go to the bottom they'd just turn the corner real quick( I think) and into you lungs.

Yea, I mean how hard is it to have a working email? My saving grace mentally is that they suppy it to other sites so I know they have a little bit of know how. Oh well I'm not real concerned right now but if I don't have it in 14 days I'll pissed but I know it does typically take 10-14 days when it has to pass though customs. But no working email = LAME & LAZY.

Recently and I guess its a growing trend but I've delt with a lot of online sellers that never return my emails even with my repeted attempts but the products does get to me in the normal timespan, although with those types of sellers it seems a little on the slow side to arrive at my door. Sure would be nice if it was working though.

Look at it this way you learned that it rocks and you can get it anytime again while the uniformed still think you need to spend $300 on a big electric unit. I'll let you guys know one way or another if I get mine and how well the Vaporstar works.

Well I should have my VaporStar tomorrow. The night I bought the VaporStar I had ordered a cheapo off of Ebay for $13.99 to my front door.

eBay: Hugegrins Vaporizers Pipeorizerā?¢ portable vaporizer (item 200078353311 end time Feb-15-07 16:47:32 PST) (http://cgi.ebay.com/Hugegrins-Vaporizers-Pipeorizer-portable-vaporizer_W0QQitemZ200078353311QQihZ010QQcategoryZ 75043QQcmdZViewItem)


Well let me tell you it's anything but cheap performing. This little grenade rocks the house. Imagine my surprise when on my 2nd draw I get a big white misty vapor cloud when I exhale. I was blown away. To put it to you simply I've hit it 50 Times and only lightly chard the herb 5 times. With practice that will drop and I knew my error each time I did it(too large flame on a already dried bowl) I never chard a first hit(moist).

Yes it's cheap but sometimes simplicity is brilliant. All you do is screw this on to a standard loaded pipe bowl, I bought one for $10 at a local head shop, and boom your vaporizing on the ultra cheap. His feedback convinced me they had an above average design and at $13.99 to my door I thought what the hell I'll toss it in the trash if it sucks. It turned out to make portablity an issue of the past. I can walk with it, go into another room to watch TV all just like a pipe, and key here is geting vapors is a breeze. From the discription of others about having to learn how to vape I thought it would be much much harder.

The Vaporstar cost me $50 so we'll see how it matches up against a direct competetor(50% the cost when you include buying a new pipe) in regards to the fact the are both lighter heated and use the same prinicple. It's going to be very interesting now that the Pipeorizer has proven itself so fast. The key to the Pipeorizer is it has a side air inlet that mixes cold air with the flame heated air going into the top, and I think it allows for very nice control over airflow/draw adjustments so you can really varry the temp around the herbs. It's also Crome Plated Aluminum not crome plated steel. My hope is the Vaporstar will provide even a better mixture of heated airflow over the herbs, but eitherway other than the butane issue I'm going to have Vapors at will from now on. From a cold loaded bowl in the Pipeorizer I can have a good vape hit in 10 seconds and from a heated bowl around 6-8 seconds. Not bad at all for $13.99+ pipe. If anyone here decides to buy one from him don't get the full one peice pipe it gets to hot to hold, where if you have your own pipe its never an issue(small thin 4in pipes may be, I have a 6 inch pipe). Thats another thing that shocked me while the Pipeorizer gets hot it's not TOO hot and you can quickly unscrew it with bare hand to reload a bowl, it really surprized me when after vapeing I reached up and touched it and it was luke warm. After 5 strait bowls it gets HOT but thats a shitload of herb that one person won't do in one 15 minute session, two-three people smoking out of it is a different story its going to get REAL HOT. So far I've never used anything but my fingers to remove it for a new bowl of herbs, but it has got to the limit of what my fingers are willing to put up with heatwise but by then(fifth bowl) I didn't want any more and it cools reasonably fast when not in use. This is the type of thing you can buy 2-3 of and give one to your friends as a little gift and they'll be thanking you.

So next up we'll see how the VaporStar does, I already know it will rock from the video, but for those that don't have $50 or a creditcard you can grab this off ebay knowing its a portable little monster that does its job very very well - As in Big White Vapor hits with only 1%-0% charing once you have it down. Like I said for me 2nd draw = Massive Vapor, First 50 hits only lightly chard 5 hits and I can tell you I know I'll get way better at it, I know now that I'll learn how to use it perfectly. Its also the most portable of them all, if you carry a pipe you can carry a "Real Vaporizer" with this little killer.

Thats how we benifit each other I wanted to pass this killer little unit on to those reading this thread.

Still haven't got mine. Emailed them and they are checking it out I'm sure it's on the way, sometimes it can take 2 weeks. Just wish I had it. I really want to see how the airflow chamber is - works/designed. I went ahead and got the long one - full stainless steel one from the same guys on ebay that has the Pipeorizer since it is a full blown vaporizer the size of a cigarette - neither the VaporStar or the Pipeorizer is as portable as it. Since it's the same basic design as the Pipeorizer but in a full Vaporizer unit thats vey portable I figured It'd be one of those things I'll kick myself for when in 6 months I can't find it anywhere.
So now I'll have 3 but I sure wish my VaporStar would arive.

Im very interested in getting a better, yet affordable vaporizer. Currently i have the "ubie" from americansmokeless.com , and it works great, but it takes a good 15 minutes to feel the effects. It seems that the vaporstar gives you much better hits.

Does it work as good as it looks in the video on their website, and aprox how many hits/how long does it take you to feel the effects? Any additional info about it would be great.

Im assuming that you have recieved the vaporstar, since it has been a month since this post. What is your "review" of it? Please give as much detail about it as possible. Does it enable you to take huge vapor hits, or does it work just like the metal pipe one? With the pipe, and vaporstar, aprox how many hits/how long does it take to feel the effects?

From a cold loaded bowl in the Pipeorizer I can have a good vape hit in 10 seconds and from a heated bowl around 6-8 seconds. Not bad at all for $13.99+ pipe. If anyone here decides to buy one from him don't get the full one peice pipe it gets to hot to hold, where if you have your own pipe its never an issue(small thin 4in pipes may be, I have a 6 inch pipe). Thats another thing that shocked me while the Pipeorizer gets hot it's not TOO hot and you can quickly unscrew it with bare hand to reload a bowl, it really surprized me when after vapeing I reached up and touched it and it was luke warm. After 5 strait bowls it gets HOT but thats a shitload of herb that one person won't do in one 15 minute session, two-three people smoking out of it is a different story its going to get REAL HOT. So far I've never used anything but my fingers to remove it for a new bowl of herbs, but it has got to the limit of what my fingers are willing to put up with heatwise but by then(fifth bowl) I didn't want any more and it cools reasonably fast when not in use. This is the type of thing you can buy 2-3 of and give one to your friends as a little gift and they'll be thanking you.

So next up we'll see how the VaporStar does, I already know it will rock from the video, but for those that don't have $50 or a creditcard you can grab this off ebay knowing its a portable little monster that does its job very very well - As in Big White Vapor hits with only 1%-0% charing once you have it down. Like I said for me 2nd draw = Massive Vapor, First 50 hits only lightly chard 5 hits and I can tell you I know I'll get way better at it, I know now that I'll learn how to use it perfectly. Its also the most portable of them all, if you carry a pipe you can carry a "Real Vaporizer" with this little killer.

Thats how we benifit each other I wanted to pass this killer little unit on to those reading this thread.

Im very interested in getting a better, yet affordable vaporizer. Currently i have the "ubie" from americansmokeless.com , and it works great, but it takes a good 15 minutes to feel the effects. It seems that the vaporstar gives you much better hits.

Does it work as good as it looks in the video on their website, and aprox how many hits/how long does it take you to feel the effects? Any additional info about it would be great.

YES it works perfect, get rid of the little glass tube type there is know comparision. The video your seeing on the VaporStar website is runing at 1.5x speed if you were to slow it down that'd be what really happens.

The VaporStar will hit 10 times from one bowl, and it will be all you need. It's everything it's craked up to be and I wouldn't trade it for a $500 location locked big unit - NO WAY - this is the perfect handheld unit.

I bought the Hugegrins metal pipe because I loved the Pipeorizer so much, but it wasn't near as funtional as the $13.99 Pipeorizer - I give the VaporStar a 10 and the Pipeorizer a 10. They both just do what I THINK a Vaporizer should do, and those are

1. It must produce BIG vapor hits, Both of these do.
2. It must be portable, these are - both can go right out your door to the car and used before you go into a movie.
3. It must not cost me my first born, these don't
4. You can vape from a cold bowl in 10 seconds - no 3-5 minute warm up.
5. Nothing to turn off or worry that you forgot to turn it off
6. So simple they are virtually indestructible- Ding Ding
7. Very easy to use, I got a big vapor on my 2nd draw - THAT'S EASY TO USE.
8. There virtually is NO SMELL AT ALL - yes a little but with-in 60-120 seconds someone could walk right by you and they would have no idea your smoke weed - really - I mean it - there is no REEK LINGER at all after a few minutes. Imagine that - REEKING Gone forever, that's worth $50 right there.

I've now used them both enough to say infactically that they are both TOTAL WINNERS and you can not misstep by buying one. The Pipeorizer has been sold out but may get some more in but he said the price is going up on them. The VaporStar is put simply a KILLER UNIT and can extract the vey last vapor out of any herb. It's simple - DO NOT SPEND $150-$500 on a big hulky electric vaporizer that locks you into the location of where it's used, but instead get one of these and go from couch to room to wherever at your own will. Best $50 you'll spend. I will point out that all vaporizer owners should have a grinder, there is no comparison of the simplicity of use with ground herb compared to the dificulty of bud thats been broken up by hand.

VAPE-ON :pimp:




1. Not cost $500 or even $150

^ The Pipeorizer ROCKs it's even more portable than the Vaporstar. The ebay seller took them off the market because he wasn't makeing much on them. But if you contact him and offer to buy 3 fo $30 he'd probabbly do it, I suggested it to him because taking the Pipeorizer off the market is a CRIME. I told him just sale in bulk and he said he probably was going to try that, I know he has a box of them but got tired of everybody buy it $13.99 instead of his $25 unit(Wich is a joke compared to the Pipeorizer - all though other people like it - to me after 2 hits it was too hot to touch to your lips and it's only 2.5 inches long and thats like trying to vape a roach) The Pipeorizer screws onto a standard bowl - I got a pipe at a local head shop but some/a lot of BONG's have the standard bowl, and that can be very useful. For one Vapor condences on a Cold Glass bong like the VaporStar but if you bong it the water will keep all vapors off the glass and deliver the full hit to your lungs - but this shouldn't be overstated even if you don't vape by bong wich only a few rare vaporizers can do(Both - the VaporStar and the Pipeorizer-esp) you still get 99% of the hit so it's not that big of a deal. I mist with water my ground up herb 5 minutes before I vape it and it's produces ultra smooth hits.

Check out the picture from my link on the Pipeorizer and you can see it's just simple and screw on to a loaded bowl - and it works VERY WELL just like the VaporStar.

Yep thats about it - first 6 hits are good the last 4 are small to micro hits, herb should look dark brown and if you put it in you fingers and mash it around it should crumble to salt grain sized bits

Balllin said that he only needs around 3 big hits, but from this post it looks like you need 10+. about how many do you need. I know the quality of the bud really determines it, but with some average stuff....

You'll feel 3 hits but you can get up to 10 out of 1 bowl, I suggest useing the whole bowl in one setting and doing that will surely get you to where your trying to go. No one suggested you NEED 10 hits for it to work but for me I do need 5+ hits and to thingk that one bowls worth of GROUND UP HERB(Ground herb amount is not as it appears. but looks like a lot to the eyes once ground up) last 5-10 vapes. 2 ground up bowls for sure and that would be around .25% - .33% of the average j. Vapes double the life of your herb.

^ exactly.

if i take 3 good, big hits, i'll def feel it, but i finish off the bowl anyway.

if i wanna get really high, i vape 3 bowls. which is arund .5 g


to supertorch:

have u ever burned ur weed w/ the vaporstar?
i been using it pretty much almost every day since i got it (which i think has been like... a month?)
today's the first time i burned the weed. i freaked out! haha
guess i was goin for a hit too big, with weed way too dry.

also, i don't have a bong, but yesterday i put some water in the vaporstar itself up to the point where i put my thumb, and it worked pretty well, cept the weed got a lil wet. not a big deal tho, u can even take bigger hits that way i found out

Well I've charded it a little or a few times, that was because I was pushing the envelope to get every last bit of vapor possible. I went and bought a downstem for the Vaporstar bong and then used the Pipeorizer to bong vape. It was good but didn't work as well I thought it would with bong water(but I got the herb wet when I tilted it - Stoner Move). It just takes more partice but I could see it working very well. Right now my favorite method of vapeing is just strait up VaporStar use or Pipeorizer, the Pipeorizer allows for slightly bigger hits because you don't have to fill a bong up with alot of air(like you do with the VaporStar) before it gets in your lungs, with the VaporStar the heat is better applied and there is less chance of schorching the herb. It really blends the heated air well and keeps you from burning herb but allows you to just reach that temp to get the very last bit out of your herb. Looking at the VaporStar heating element I see 20 airflow holes to mix it better, the Pipeorizer has one big one that is mixed with room temp air(anotherr side hole), as you know I love both but the VaporStar is superior at air control and consistency, the Pipeorizer works VERY WELL and fits into a shirt pocket I like the Pipeorizer so much I have 4 of them and I'm thinking about geting another VaporStar.

Vapor hits are always descending. First hit is AWESOME AND SMOOTH, 2 hit is good vapor hit, 3-5 are about 1/3 of the first hit but still nice little hits, 6-10 are very small and pushing it a litlle here helps and sometimes you find a little vapor you didn't think was there. Again I can not state enough how much you need a grinder if you vape, it's night and day on the quality of the hits vs if you break the herbs up by hand. You HAVE TO STIR THE BOWL to get the very best hits, and a stir every hit is the best way but don't wait more than 3 hits before stiring. I always mist/water my herb 5 minutes before vapeing. I have a spray bottle I got at the drug stroe and I just apply 3-5 very very fine mist sprays to the GROUND UP HERB it works very well at condition the herb for uptake.

VAPE ON. :pimp:

ballin, I'm also pretty sure the Stem of the VaporStar will fit snuggly/air tight in most glass bong STEMS so you would then have a true vapeing bong. For instance Mini Glass Bong (http://www.everyonedoesit.co.uk/online_headshop/Mini_Glass_Bong.cfm?iProductID=1816) and if you placed your Vaporstar in the top of this bong you'd get just enough friction to make it air tight and allow for VONG hits(hey maybe I just coined a new term "VONG HIT'S" - oh well probably not) anyway when I get more funds I may just do that, all you need really is a down stem that the VaporStar will fit into and then just put it in the VaporStar bong since the stem hole size is the most common on the market.

Take a look at the fit here - Vapourstar - Online Shop (http://www.everyonedoesit.co.uk/online_headshop/productCategory.cfm?sC=Vapourstar&iProductCategoryID=836&iLastCatID=12)

Fankly after looking at bong after bong I like the on that comes with the VaporStar the best, its the one in the video not the one on their home page. It's got a perfectly tilted mouth peice and it widens at where your lips make contact, and just fits your hand perfectly - it's actually one of the very best/comfortable small glass bongs I've ever held. Since the VaporStar home page ships for free at $50 it's the best buy too since you get the sweet bong with it, then go to your local headshop for a downstem with bowl and you have a bong also.

With the vaporstar I find the easiest way to keep the resin off the inside of your bong is to warm it with hot water first, tip the water out and use.
If the glass is hot, the thc wont condense on the glass.
More flavour!!!!

SuperTorch - whats the difference between the Pipeorizer and the complete one he sells? I think I'd rather just buy the complete pipe instead of going out to buy a glass pipe. Is the heating issue that big of a deal?

ballin - do you use the VaporStar piece itself w/o the bong? From the way you were talking it sounds like you are.

I really want something portable so if I can just use the VaporStar piece itself w/o the bong, then that would be better than buying Hugegrins' portable vaporizer right?

Yes, the Pipeorizer(I don't think he selling them or is out) screwed onto a standard brass bowl. The single units get F'n hot by hit 2 and theres NO WAY you could hit it 8-10 times with out artifiacl cooling. By hit 2 on it I couldn't hold it in my hands It went back that day, just not functional imo, though some like it I guess you can't even wear gloves because its burning you lips by hit 3. No doubt you should get a VaporStar I have 2 now I loved the first one so much.

PM me for some more info I want to chat about.
