I am 49 years of age and have smoked the MJ Herb for nearly 35 years. The last few years have been hard on my lungs and I have constant bouts with chronic bronchitis.
You will love vapor in comparison to smoke. I had bad bouts of bronchitis when I was a kid, and until the last few years colds would frequently get into my chest and make me miserable. I quit smoking cigs over ten years ago but mj smoke was bothering me to the point where I thought I'd have to give up weed entirely. Vapor is sooo much easier on the lungs. No more smoker's cough, I've got a lot more wind for exercise-I love it.

I have never Vaporizied before and am hoping that I am making a good choice for the money. The Volcano is a little too much for me to spend at this time.
Yes you made a good choice. I've been using mine for almost two years. HerbalAire has great customer service. It's just as efficient as the Volcano at extracting the good stuff, and although slower to fill a bag, it's cheaper to make and use multiple bags. Set it for about 370 and all your herb will end up fully cooked-brown and crispy. I use different sized bags. I usually fill a small one first and suck on that while another is filling. I recommend getting some extras. I've got extra main mouthpieces (not a good name-you don't put your mouth on it), extensions, and crucibles (bowls), so I can always swap out for clean ones. Crucibles can go for years without needing to be cleaned, but they're easy to accidentally squash, at least for me. The only part I soak in alcohol is the main mouthpiece (for the screen). If you clean the heating chamber with alcohol, make sure you turn the unit upside down, unplug, and leave it for a few min. to dry. You don't want any kind of liquid to get down below the chamber.

Also, I wanted to know from some old timers if there is any compromise with the mellow high that one receives from smoking good herb? It appears that if I do not smoke in a few days, I really have a hard time sleeping and become irratible to some extent. Will the high be compromised and be less pleasant that smoking?
Vapor doesn't suck the energy out of you nearly as much as smoking. It's a cleaner high, avoiding sleep inducing toxins. So although vaping just before bedtime doesn't really keep me awake, it does often delay me from going to bed. I find that a couple of hours after a vaping session I'm sleepy and ready to crash for the night.
vapefiend Reviewed by vapefiend on . The Official HERBALAIRE Page 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 Rating: 5
