I have severe insomnia, where I wake up several times during the night and can't get back to sleep. I've found that smoking medical mj helps, but I developed an annoying cough and don't want to keep smoking.

So I got an Iolite...but so far, it isn't working for me for 2 reasons:

1.) the high produced by vaping seems to be different -- less "sleepy" -- than smoking. Is this a common experience?

2.) the Iolite seems impractical for middle-of-the-night use. Maybe I'm reading the directions incorrectly, but it seems I am supposed to fill it with butane each time I use it, then wait 5 minutes before turning on, then wait another 3-5 minutes for it to heat up... so basically a 10-minute prep time? And then another 5 minutes after vaping, to wait for it to stop hissing? That's a long time for a middle-of-the-night hit!

The Iolite gets great reviews and seems to have a devoted fanbase...so I'm not quite willing to give up on it yet...although I've had it for almost a year, and hardly ever use it because I can't get the hang of it.

Help, Iolite fans!
