questions about vaporizors

[trippies]

I've got two questions about vaporizers. First, does it smell when you smoke from a vaporizer? Secondly, does the vaporizer extract ALL the THC from the bud? Will I get high from smoking the weed afterwards or is it garbage?

im no ace on vaporizers, and im not sure about the smell, but my friends smoke the bud after they vaporize it... and they say it gets them high.. but then again theyre already ripped by then from using it green. but i think that it does atleast minimize the smell... possibly eliminate it(?)

Use a groovetube if you're worried about the smell. Those work when you're smoking it in a bowl extremely well. Most vaporizers are shit though. For some reason they just don't work. The only vaporizer I know for sure to be good is the Volcano Vaporizer. And that bitch costs like 500 bucks. Then again it makes it so that about half a gram of weed gets 20 people blitzed out of their minds.

i like vaporizers more than pipes or anything else. i made mine mcgyver style out of a soldering iron and a sobe bottle and a block of wood. it works wonders and gets me ripped from a pinch of weed. from my knowledge of vaporizers what it does is heat up the THC until it turns to vapor and then you smoke just the THC. so i don't believe that smoking the weed afterwards would do anything because i think all the THC is gone. also mine does not conceal the smell. well it makes it easier to conceal the smell. all of the smoke is contained within the chamber until breathed in, so as long as you breathed it out a window or something i think the smell would be greatly reduced. i would recommend making, not buying a vaporizer, they're way to overpriced and most of the time don't work. my shitty one works really good though, also don't try the light bulb thing, most of the time people mess up and waste some good weed.

I've got a Vapor Brothers vaporizer (around $150) and it works great. There is virtualy no smell. What smell there is doesn't smell like weed and certainly not like smoke. If someone walked into the room right after a vap session they might notice something but would have no idea what it was.

As far as smoking the bud afterwards, I've never tried it. I've always figured smoking the bud afterwards would kind of cancel the good things about vaping (no smell and better for you). If you are going to smoke after vaping why bother vaping at all?

The key is to get a good vaporizer. There are two types: the cheap $50 conduction vapes(BC Vaporizer) and the more expensive convection vapes like the volcano and Vapor Bros.

The cheap conduction vapes use a metal plate or bowl which heats up and supposedly vapories the thc. Problem is, only the weed touching the bowl will really get vaporized. They work but are not very efficient. You end up using more bud than if you smoked it. I bought one of these first and ended up throwing it away.


With the better, convection style, vaps hot air is drawn through the weed. This means that the heat is more evenly distributed throughout the bowl and all of the THC gets vaporized, not just what is touching the heating element. With these you'll use less bud than if you smoked it and, even after the initial investment, will end up saving money in the long run.

Vaporizers are the shit and if you have the cash for a real one than charleston chew to you my friend 'cause you just made a wise investment. otherwise make one. I use a pyrex test tube and butane torch. As for leftovers, well they burn but would you really want the smoke?
