New Vapor Enthusiasts- Getting started

[Vitolo]

I love my vapes. I have many, and have tried most. Each has a learning curve to it, especially the portable ones. You have to take a day to learn each.. and most new Vaporists think that they are not that crazy about their choice on the first couple of tries.
I tell people to use "bunk" weed the first day, to get the feel of the unit. Once you are able to get some of that to vape, some potent strain with some real oils will be a snap. Don't waste the good stuff on your trial "blast"!
I tell folks also to look at some YouTubes while deciding. I find them informative, not in quality ( it's rarely good) but to see how easily they manipulate the unit they are showing.
I'm gonna show you a blast on each of my favorite 3 vapes.
I show my "Fast Blast" (MFLB), "my full session on the move" (Vapir NO2), and "The Workhorse" (my SSV)

There are many vaporizers out there, and there are many people here interested in learning about this. Arzona just made Medical MJ legal. The vaporizer business is about to rocket off the charts, as readers learn how absolutely appealing a "practice" that it is.
In my home area I made a clearinghouse of informative links for vapor enthusiasts (you will see this website linked to it too!) Tucson Vapor Trail
The problem is now, that there will be a bunch of scammers, and cheap "knockoffs" of legit vapes out there. People that do not try to do it correctly.... even with a good vape can be discouraged. Imagine the discouragement if they buy a cheap little vape that falls apart or does not function to specs.
So here is to THIS particular thread growing strong. Let's guide the new vapor enthusiasts in a proper way, so they don't get burned! (no pun intended).

Vaporizing Other Herbs

I have been enjoying trying various herbs for vaporization for a long time.
i found charts of temperatures at which to vaporize the various herbs. There are not any complete lists of temperatures, but when you try any herb, just start low, and work up.. you learn fast enough.
I decided the other day to get the feel for each of the herbs.
I collected 50 herbs (I imagine there will be more in this collection before this experiment is over)
I will do my very first Vapor hits of the day, before I medicate, with an herb.
I will give each herb I try a few days to see what the effects are.

I will compile the complete findings and post them, once my personal study is done!
The SSV (Silver Surfer) will be used for this entire project.

The Prune Juice Bottle Vapor Bong Bubbler
On a bunch of the forums, some of the people are Bong, and "bubbler" enthusiasts. Some spend $100+ for expensive elaborate glass with famous names!
I poked a hole in this empty prune juice bottle to show that us old guys can have a little fun too!
Just for fun!

Last night I saw a question about making a cheap bong for an MFLB.
I had to wait until my wife left for work, because I had no soda bottle, and I was about to poke a hole in her plant mister spray bottle!
Here's the cheap home made MFLB bong.

A Vaporizer Dealer that Cares About the Community
I had posted a video about a new grinder made just for the MFLB at; Grinder for MFLB. It will be sold by PuffitUp.
Play Safe, Vaporize! Puff It Up!
I am in touch with dozens of the Vaporizer dealers, and sellers of supplies. I order a multitude of vape accessories, just to find out who gives good support to clients.
Vaporization has been listed under Health and Pharmaceuticals, and as such we would hope they held customers in an especially high regard.
I spread the name of the companies that treat you guys right, as it should be, they deserve the word of mouth.
I speak with Puffitup on the 24/7 help line, and I jokingly have referred to him on these forums as "Puffy".
I learned a bit more about Puffy (Randy). Randy got into the Vaporizer industry at a young age, after he had started chemo-therapy. Randy is a shining example of a caring person that places the welfare of vaporizer users above the dollar.
Puffitup believes in really good customer service, and this is not just talk.
The prices are great, and shipping is freeâ?¦ and fast.
The good part, is you can talk to a live person. Randy does not want to sell you anything you do not need or want. What Randy does want is to answer your questions, honestly and to the point about what part or ape might suit you.
PuffItUp has a small Vapor Lounge in Downtown San Jose.
http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m580/VitoloVaporizes/1photo.jpg[/img]]
They have been committed to helping people stop smoking , by letting them try vaporization. The Vapor lounge which is located near a Hospital in downtown San Jose is 100% free to patients. They help certified MMJ patients in their immediate area that can not afford vaporizers by donating returned vaporizers.
I endorse PuffItUp, as being one Helluva company, whose deals you would be hard pressed to beat.
Please.. I say with confidence. Call Randy at PuffiUp at 1 (800)420 -4237 with parts questions. Tell him Vito sent you!

I added to my collection of Vaporizers. I have been a fan of the log style vapes, and had a tough decision in deciding.
It was between PD (Purple Days), MZ (MyrtleZap, & WDZ (Woodeez).
After a couple of months of comparison, the MyrtleZap by AromaZap won.
The Vapor tube you see me using with my "Zap" was made by Ed's TNT

I cleaned house!
I got rid of my:
-Eagle Bill Shake &Vape glass vape pipe
-Vapor Genie
-glass dome
-Easy Vape
-Hot Box
-Iolite
Now My household consists of:
SSV (hand held)
Vapir NO2
2 MFLB units (one for power adapter in office)
MyrtleZap
I feel so much tidier and more organized, and have been meaning to do this for a long time.
I still am looking into that "next vape" (always!) The Supreme sure looks interesting!

I got the new Power Adapter for the MFLB. It is fantastic too. This is not a BETA. It has a serial number, and the components look wonderful. The wooden base gives it a real classy look too.
Check it out!
