Heathers and everyone,

why use a vaporizer?

i just bought one to help with the pain from Celiac Disease. it's a better way for several reasons:

the vaporization process causes specific chemicals to be released by tightly regulating the temperature of the air moving slowly by the substance in the chamber. mine can be used for a variety of substances - i'm not sure about some of the others.

--- no smoke means no harm to the lungs... i'd been smoking daily for about 8 months, and my lungs were definitely wearing out... i've been using my vaporizer for 5 days now, and the difference is huge.

--- (as an addition to the last point, i'd say that because many of us use herb for medical purposes, that the benefit to the lungs is HUGE... my immune system is already in overdrive because of my disease... i repeat: if you are using herb for medicinal purposes- GET one of these things...)

--- the effects are way better. did i say way better? good, because they are. absolute tranquility, at least compared to smoking it... very CLEAN high.

--- you only have to use half as much, or less... i think i'm using about a third of what i was.

--- no smells, or at least minimal. when smoking, i used to exhale into and old blankie so that my neighbors wouldn't smell anything. now the light smell is more like blueberries than skunks.

--- the biggest downside is the price of the good manufacturers. i bought a Volcano, which is universally considered the Ferrari of the industry, but it was around 550 dollars...

in no way do i regret this large expense, because i figure it will pay for itself in a year or so, considering how much i use and how much longer this will make it last...

as far as the other brands, i'd do a search on this forum for "vaporizers" thats how i came to pick the Volcano...

i found a lot of great stuff here, mostly in the "recreational" category...

also, for those of you still curious, lets all try to post simple questions with simple answers on this thread... (there are excellent but kinda scientific answers all over this forum category, but i don't understand huge chunks of them)
