why you should use a vaporizer

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)

I don't know why I'd be throwing up after smoking..

It's either cigarettes and weed killing my stomach or an allergic reaction..

But if it's a stomach issue, would a vap help?

I am getting a vap soon...I cannot afford the Volcano but I am going to try the Vapor Bros model...

[Heathers74]

Wow.....thanks so much for all the info! It sounds like I must purchase one! Now, I cannot afford the volcano, are the ones around $150 any good or should I just save? Thanks again and have a good one...

The vapo gives you a high like no other!

thinking about getting one myself, just wish they were easier to do if you happen to be taking a drive on a back road or something my little bowl is very handy when it comes to that

TO EVERYONE CONSIDERING BUYING A VAPE just suck it up and save for the volcano as forest said it is like the rolls royce of vapourizers it demolishes any other vape out there and the weed conservation is amazing.

My dealer bought one for over $1000 over the net a long time ago and he still has it and is 100% satisfied with it still and it still works like the day he bought it even though it has like 5 huge dents in it from rough handling

If your simply not going to spend the money on the volcano make sure what ever cheap knock off you get is the convection type(the kind that uses hot air moving over the bud) the ones with a metal bowl that heats up waste weed and are barely a pleasure to smoke like the volcano

punkish,

definitely... at least i would think that you won't get nauseous...

i don't know how connected you are, but if you can try one, even if you have to drive a couple of hours, try one...

So you're saying, don't even waste the $ on cheaper ones.....Hmmm...tax return season is upon us, I think I know now where a chunk of the money is going,lol. Thanks so much for all the info, I appreciate it. Have a good one....

I like vaps every now and then, but bongs and J's are my favorite way to smoke
