Yes the VaporStar and the VaporGenie but work the same. It was DeepFriedBrains comment that got me looking at the VaporStar. What I like about it is the visual clues that assist you in learnig how to hit it really thick and deep. A lot of the $300+ electric vaporizer owner try to put these two units down in regards to the butane issue. But burnt butane is just water and carbon deoxide(ie..harmless we light herbs and ciggerettes with them every day). Yes the big expensive units are cleaner to hit but not by much at all. The VaporStar and VaporGenie hit 99% as clean as the big electric units and when you add all the other pluses the VaporStar and VaporGenie really stand out - The portablity is HUGE, then there the fact that you can go from cold to vapeing in under 8 second, the electric unit have to stay on and that isn't something I want on my mind. It all boils down to are you geting good thick clean vapor hits and if you talk to the owners of some of these newer breeds of lighter heated pipes they will tell you HELL YES and I love it. Just look at DeepFriedBrains comment in another thread he say once he got the VaporStar he only rolled once a month from then on.
