October 19, 2005. October 19, 2005. Mother Jones Magazine publishes, "Respectable Reefer," an excellent article about medical marijuana by Gary Greenberg that discusses GW Pharmaceuticals, MAPS and drug war politics.

Hey-

Just to let you guys know, I broke the whip (for my vape) the other day. I had the freakin' thing for 6 hours and then it broke.

To all prospective buyers : Be VERY careful with your glass whips. This thing broke so easily I did a double take when I saw it. I barely tugged on the whip to pass it to my boy and the glass piece that attaches to the vape snapped. It broke real easily, so be careful.

But, fortunately I called the good people at Vaporwarez.com up on the phone and they apologized that that happened, and they are gonna send me another one at half price.

So, even though these glass whips are VERY fragile, their good customer service still gives vaporwarez.com a thumbs up from me.

Has anyone else had a problem with their whips breaking? Fengzi? Stonedpenguin? GanjaASD?

At the bottom, it explains the THC transfer rate. The vaporizer's transfer rates are less than 1/3 that of a portable water pipe, an unfiltered joint, and a bong. :stoned:

I saw that study too, back before I bought my first vap. Although the article shows dates as late as 2004 the actual study that showed these statistics was doneon 1996 . I'm sure vaporizers have come a long way since then. My guess is that they were using the original BC Vaporizer style which would make sense. I had one of those first and I found I needed a lot more weed to get high than if I smoked it. Now I've got a Vapor Brothers though and like RIP ODB mentioned, I need about 1/2 of what I would need to smoke to get the same high.

I've had my Vapor Brothers for about 3 months now and with daily use haven't had any problems with breakage. The whip seems pretty sturdy to me, at least as sturdy as glass can be.

It's my understanding that you actually connect the whip on the Vapor Warez to the heating element. Is that correct? With the Vapor Bros it doesn't connect, you just hold it up to the heating element much like you'd hold a pipe to a flame( or flame to the pipe). I can see, however, that if it actually connected you'd have to be more careful passing the whip around. Any sideways pressure would create a lot of leverage at the spot where the whip connects and since it's glass...well..you know.

Yeah, on the hands free version (the one I have) you do connect the whip to the heating element. At the time I bought it I figured this would be better because, you know, you don't have to sit there like a jerk and hold the thing up to the heating element the whole time, you can just sit back and relax.

In retrospect I probably had the whip connected to the heating element for too long, heating up the glass to a point that made it more breakable. The thing that pisses me off is I didn't pull it sideways when I broke it, I pulled away from the unit and it just broke away.

Next time I will be more careful, and I will keep the whip connected to the heating element for shorter periods of time. But man is it easy to just sit there and pack whip after whip and smoke freely, not worrying about odor or smoke bothering anyone else...

But I still think they should make the whips stronger. It says at vaporwarez.com that their top selling item is a spare glass mouthpiece, so I'm guessing that a lot of people have the same problem I did.

They resumed studies in the fall of 2004. And this is still the information they are standing by, to this date.

September 10, 2005. At the International Association for Cannabis as Medicine 3rd Conference, held in Leiden, Holland, Mr. Hector Vizoso, study coordinator for Dr. Donald Abrams' study of smoking v. vaporizing, discussed the results of their clinical trial in humans comparing cannabinoid blood levels, carbon monoxide levels, and subjective effects in subjects who smoke and at other times vaporize marijuana (with the Volcano vaporizer). When subjects used vaporizers, the study found reductions in blood carbon monoxide levels as compared to smoking. In addition, the study showed that the vaporizer produced reliable levels of cannabinoids. The study also found that more subjects preferred vaporizing over smoking. This study was funded by a grant of about $136,000 from the Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research (CMCR). MAPS and CaNORML contributed an additional $100,000 on preliminary laboratory data analyzing the content of the vapors produced by the Volcano vaporizer.

Is the difference here between measuring cannabinoids and measuring THC specifically? From experience I agree with the other vapers and use maybe a quarter of what it takes to reach the same level smoking (and that's with a supposedly less efficient glass pipe). Also as others have said, it is a different high. Maybe it's the other cannabinoids that get burned when you smoke and mostly THC that is left as residue when vaping. Dunno if I'm reading the reports correctly.
