My, my, how a couple of day's can change a situation! I now seem to have a firm grasp of my new HerbalAire vaporizer.

Humongous difference from the first trial to the present. Talk about jumping the gun. All is well and I am pleased as proverbial punch. There is no doubt that I receive the best results with slightly ground, packed herb. Spreading a bit of holiday cheer (kief) on top, makes it that much better.

I was/am enduring a spike in pain, and the second trial helped ease that nagging extra. I am still somewhat stumped as to why my unit produces more odor than the "box from the bros". We can actually smell the HerbalAire in the abode, via the garage. Not heavy by any means. I even utilize a knitted cover for the mouthpiece straw (swizzle stick is a better term) when off. Curious.

If anybody is teetering on the fence regarding purchase of an HerbalAire, go for it. The price, quality and competition ratio is all positive. Ho, ho, ho!
