yeah, using a torch-type lighter I ended up igniting the herb... it took more finess, but for me worked well -- until the lighter quit on me :wtf:
MdmPele Reviewed by MdmPele on . Should I purchase a VaporGenie? I'm curious; I've been looking at the VaporGenie for some time now, and it looks like a great accessory. It might even be my main pipe once I start again. However, I have a few questions. First of all, is it reliable/durable? Can I expect it to work in a year's time? Does the filter ever die (their site says it never needs replacing)? Does it actually vaporize all of the active compounds you normally get out of smoking? That includes the THC, Cannabidiol, and other Cannabinoids. Is it Rating: 5
