Now does anybody have any idea if vaporizers can deal with this sort of product?[/B] & also, having read many reviews on vaporizing I still cant get a clear picture of what the effects are like, I like the bong heavyness, You know, I like to be wrecked at night & I hear its just not the same, in fact some say its rather difficult to know if You've got a hit or not, this worries me as $250 dollars is actually a hell of a lot of money for me.
Anyway, Thanks very much in advance

The herbalAire is most efficient and will vape solid as well as any vape on the market and better than most. I would use small pieces though, and not just toss a big chunk in.

I like the bong heavyness
Bong, pipe, joint, whatever-the difference is not so much in the smoke delivery system as the fact that it's smoke. I assume that by "heavyness" you mean lethargy, stupor, couchlock. The big contributors to this effect are toxins, mainly carbon monoxide and benzene, that are released at high vaping temps and with smoke. Too much of either one of these highly poisonous compounds will put you to sleep permanently. Some people also prefer moonshine to legally (and safely) produced booze. They like the extra 'kick' they get from methanol or other poisons. Vaporizing in the 'safe' temp range will avoid most toxins and your high will have much less of the sleepy effect. Many people have noted (including me) that their first good high from a vape was as good or better than any smoking session they ever had. But it's definitely a high that lets you retain more energy than a smoking high.

As for not being sure if you got a hit, that's just a result of the smooth and cool vapor vs. harsh smoke. I certainly don't need to choke on smoke to know I got a good dose of THC. I put smoke in my lungs for a lot of years, to the point where I was ready to quit getting high to avoid hurting my lungs. Just couldn't take the smoke anymore.

So if smoke doesn't bother you, and you enjoy the effect of the poisons in it, then stay with smoking. At least as long as your lungs allow.


I use the direct inhale and it works a million times better than the whip method.
Not for me. I use my herbalAire almost every day, but I don't enjoy the direct draw. The vapor's too thin. I only use it for a quick hit or two if I'm in a hurry. It doesn't compare IMO to the thick vapor I can get from the SSV or Vapolution. To each his own though. Different tastes make for more choices.
