hahaha, well i think once u get the valcano, and if it is as good as u say, then i think once u learn how to best and properly use it, then maybe u wont smoke anymore.. thats how it is with me, i have my AroMed right here next to my desk, so all i do is turn it on, and simply puff, i dont have to deal with balloons, or anything else, just push the button and about 15 to 30 seconds later the unit is ready, and away i go, sipping my hemp... about the cancer thing, the act of burning generates chemicals that are not part of or have anything to do with the hemp itself and have shown to be related to increased cancer risk, i guess its one of those things that if u say nothing, then u are despised when it is too late, and if u say something, then u are despised for saying something too soon.. nevertheless, to each there own as long as we all consider that we will die one day, do we want that day to come sooner or later? I have nothing against smokin, i just dont like it anymore, to me its like the difference between clean and dirty drinking water, once i tasted the clean filtered water, i didnt want the dirty water, but that is just me and my own personal preference, and i think 1234abc that u are making a very good decision by saving up for a quality vaporizer.. but i do suggest to really take a good look at the AroMed... u loose plenty of thc to the inside surface area of the balloon, never to be seen again, and then u have to deal with those dang balloons, but as long as u are happy with it, and u feel u will be, then i say VAPE ON! dooooooooooooooood
