Hey Herbalairers!

I thought I'd start a page where we can contribute our reviews, opinions and tips for this great device.

Before I start, I know that there are many bogus "reviews" out there. I am in no way affiliated with any vapor company. I'm an average, erb loving peaceful father and husband. For reasons I describe later, I just want to contribute to the vapor revolution.

I'll start.....

I've had my Herbalaire for a week now. I used to smoke daily. Then I started to use a bong because I wanted to be healthier. However, now that I've found vaping, I'll never go back.
I started my vaping experience with a knock off of a Vapor Brothers whip style vape. I tried it for a month and still wasn't satisfied. I just couldn't seem to find the right temps, as there was no temp gauge on the dial. I found my vapor to be smoky, rather than vapor. Or sometimes I would get no vapor at all. I was getting an effect but it was a big effort and I rarely felt like I was really vaping.

Until now. As I mentioned, I've had my Herbalaire for a week now. It heats up FAST. Let's say 2 minutes MAX MAX MAX. Put the crucible (bowl) in the unit. Once it's warm, start inhaling the good vapors. You can also use the bags and air pump too like a Volcano but I like the direct inhale method.

I find that vaping gives me a nice clean high. My cough is gone and my lungs feel great already (although I started feeling better when i started vaping, not because of the Herbalaire). I'm just sad I didn't discover vaping sooner. I still like taking a rip off the bong once in a while when I feel like getting that stoner / couch lock feeling. Unfortunately, I find my mouth and breath taste like an ashtray when I'm done. It's quite disgusting now but I still like the feeling it gives me once and a while.

Here are my tips / cmments so far:
- Put the fresh, unground erb into the crucible and leave it in there for approx 1-2 minutes before you start. You can grind it up but I seem to have better results when the erb is whole.
- I put 2, or maximum 3, pea-sized pieces in the crucible. I get a nice vapor with that amount. I find I use a little more erb than in a bong but I think it's worth it to be healthier and cut out the smoking and carcinogens.
- For direct inhalation, I like to start with 335 to get the flavor of the erb. I can see vapor at that temp. I'll get 2 breaths and then move up 10 degrees. I keep doing this until I get to 375. That's the highest temp I'll do. They say 392 is when the chemical are significant, so I stay on the safe side.
- For the bag method, I just haven't used it enough to have any tips. I can say this....the bag method works great, I just prefer the direct inhale. Too much clutter with the bags and pump.
- I find that the mouthpice extension gets hot at temps above 355 or 360 when inhaling directly. It's unfortunate. I tried a straw on the end of the extension piece but the straw still got hot. The air is definitely cooler though when you use the straw. I find the vapor a little thinner this way though. Not sure why. I need to test it more.
- Watch out for the crucible. It gets super hot for obvious reasons but cools down FAST. Within a minute or 2. Try to get an extra one if you can so you can reload quickly if need be.
- The pump is slow and a little bit noisy. Easily replaceable though. Only affects you if you prefer the bag method, which many do I've read.
- I basically keep going until my erb is a light chocolate brown or when there's no more vapors at 375. It can also smell of burnt popcorn when it's used up.
- I don't cook with the leftovers but I understand you can use them to cook. Or you can smoke them but that kind of defeats the purpose.
- I also love that there is no smell from vaping. Maybe the air in the room smells a tiny bit like burnt popcorn but nothing even close to smoking. You smell of nothing when you're done either, unlike smoking.
- This whole process does take a little longer than using a bong but no longer than rolling and smoking would take you.

That's about it. I'd like to thank this community because I discovered vaping in this forum and your views and opnions helped me be healthier. I can't thank you all enough for your contributions. I hope my contributions will help some of you too. I'd also like to thank the makers of Herbalaire. While it's not perfect (yet), it's really close and I believe this product will become perfect when further revisions are made.

Anyone else have an Herbalaire and want to contribute to this thread?
