your in luck holmes

my buddy just picked up a BC vaporizer a couple days ago so i gots the skinny on it

first, the bud you use must be of a fairly high quality THC content, ie dont use schwag, it doesnt work as well. next, youll do well to follow the instructions ie let it warm up the first time so it burns off all the oils and shit, they smell like shit so do it outside if possible. *EDIT* they are probably toxic as well, so don't sit in a closed closet or something and do this

as for actual usage, i dont know if its just the pot we smoke (BC bud, alberta home grown, white widow, along the lines of that) but the taste itself is kinda like.. oats and barley. it tastes kinda like animal feed. could be the vaporizer itself too.

but, it does get you pretty fucked. don't expect huge hits (ie not a lot of smoke will be exhaled), and its nto really smoke, its 'vapor'

fill the bowl, make sure theres pot touching the sides and bottom, allows for more vapor to be made cuz more pot is being burned. also, dont touch the hot metal heating thing where the weed goes, cuz it burns you BADLY, my friend has a huge fucking blister from touching it

i have tried a smaller handheld vaporizer, but that was over a year ago and i have since smoked myself stupid, so i dont know the difference between quality, i jut remember the other one didnt taste like oats and barley, but loaded smaller bowls and was more portable.

quality - 8/10, portability ease - 5/10 (hard as fuck to take somewhere, gotta wrap it up and carry it, plug it in, etc), high factor 9/10

it seems to be a different high as well. instead of a stoned stupor, i've found myself with more energy, giddiness, light headed, happy, and more subtle at times

also, this was at a store in canada (alberta) and was $80 canadian if that matters
