Uhhhh Okay...

1. The VaporGenie is a very good starting vaporizer. It's portable and works just like a regular pipe. The vaporizing attachment can actually screw onto any standard sized metal bowl allowing you to make pretty much any metal pipe into a vaporizer.

2. A Volcano DOES smell. (I own one and know what pot smells like)

Any vaporizer is going to smell. Obviously. If you scratch your asshole for long enough it won't start smelling like flowers...right?

When looking at a vaporizer, look for something that is actually passing or allowing the heat to pass through the "bowl" Not only does this tend to be the more efficient style but you'll have an even vaporization by constantly pulling or passing the heat through your bud.

Hope this helps.
