My Vapor Brother's GNES Hands-free cost me $139 + $15 S&H from discountworldonline.com. That's about what I paid for my "History of Art" Book a few years back in college! (Dang, they rip students off for books!) Sociable? The whip style can be down-right intimate- My hubbie and I find it that way, anyway. The whip's tubing is about 3 feet long- it can reach between a few buddies, or you can just get some more high temp tubing and lengthen it. I still enjoy my weed, it just lacks the "bite" that you get smoking. I can live without that. Especially since I use 1/2 the pot and make brownies with the leftover pot (yes, they will get you high). I love the ability to put down the whip for 10 minutes and then just take up where I left off toking with no wasted pot! No smell (our 2 adult sons don't use, but live with us) makes life easier. And NO TOKER'S COUGH!!! I've toked for 40 years (no tobacco!) and I had quite a cough, two weeks after getting my VB, it was gone! I also can toke right-off-the-plant bud to taste/potency test early budding plants- I can pick my mothers that way. I'm vaping bud that was growing 4 days ago and it tastes fine after the first "green" tasting hit. Vaporizers are the way to go! :thumbsup: GET A VAPORIZER! :dance:
