Hey DD,
I've decided to buy a vaporizer because of several reasons, including:
- 50$
- From what I've heard, you only need very little, like 0.06 to get stoned. A usual 5-gram bud normally lasts me about 1-2 weeks smoking 1-2 times a day, but with a vape it could last for months.
- The Vape-high is different since it vaporizes many substances that normally wouldn't be vaporized with regular smoking. Many people say this high is better, a more relaxed high, like a really strong indica. I'm not a very active person, so a relaxed high could be awesome.
- It's healthier.
- It doesn't leave any smell.
(Please correct me if I'm wrong, these are all statements I've heard from others.
What I was going to buy was the VaporGenie ([url]https://www.vaporgenie.com/Classic-VGs/View-all-products.html[/url]) since it's very cheap, it's small and requires no electricity. My question too DD is: Will all the pros from a regular vape remain with a VaporGenie? For example, will you still only need 0.06 to get stoned, or do you need more with a VaporGenie?
EDIT: Oh, and, forgive me if I typed something wrong. I'm really, really stoned right now.
I've been wondering about this pipe myself. In all honesty, I'm not a huge fan of the vape high, but the health pros and the efficiency pros are too good to pass up.
Here is an in-depth review

Personally the idea seems strange to me, but I feel it might be a good investment, and the price isn't terrible at all. If you do purchase it, please give us a review here on DD, I'd love to know how it works. I wouldn't mind investing in one if it's efficient.
Looks like a really good idea. I smoke a lot on my own and it sounds perfect.
I've used a vaporizer and it's definitely a different high. I was getting high with my friend who was here and we loaded quite a lot of bud onto my vaporizer. After about 30 mins we decided to close our eyes and we got a lot of satisfaction out of moving our head in circles and felt like we were rushing around (I've never had this when smoking it as intense as this). However there was very little other effects and it was not as fun. I also don't particularly like the feeling it leaves in the back of my throat.
Do you think I could get this in a local store? I don't want to order it online, cos my parents might get the package...

Grasscity.com sell them. I believe that was one of the focal points of the thread. ;)
Oops my bad. You can get them at most headshops.
I like smoking stuff and all the various shit that goes with it, but I could see myself reaching a point where I might need one just because otherwise my lungs will die from smoking too much. I know if I had a job right now Id be smoking at least an ounce a week, because an eigth a day isnt that hard to get through alone besides having friends smoking on it too.
I already cough up a little black shit once in a while just from what few cigs I smoke and the amount of weed I smoke already and I dont want to fry my lungs, plus you can only smoke so much before your lungs get sore and its just not fun to inhale smoke anymore.
I have the handcarved version and I love it.

The fact that you smoke cigs is probably a major factor in coughing up black shit...
Make sure to brush your teeth a couple times before you go out. Vapes leave a nasty lingering smell that sometimes lasts till the next day.
Wait a second, it looks like a pipe, how does it vape?

I'm waiting. Are you talking about an animal, vegetable or mineral?
Stop posting Igod replies, they're everywhere.
[QUOTE=Xaphania;19430223]Wait a second, it looks like a pipe, how does it vape?[/QUOTE]
It is a vaping pipe. You put weed in the pipe section and screw the top part over it. As you pull, the heat from the lighter will heat the weed to vaping temperature.
It takes a bit of time to learn how not to burn the weed, but once you get that sorted, you'll be set.
I think it's a good investment anyway.
My friend has one. It's the first thing I used to get high with, and I will say, it is awesome. It works great, it's super efficient, and mad stealthy. We did it in his room while his parents were downstairs, there was almost no smoke, no smell. I give it a 5/5, best thing I've ever used except for a waterfall.
Also, don't throw away the vaped weed from one of these. It's still quite potent (assuming it wasn't cheap mids) and can be smoked normally to get you high if you run out of bud.
Hidden what is the technique to not burning the bud?
[QUOTE=THEWALKINGDEAD;19443873]Hidden what is the technique to not burning the bud?[/QUOTE]
If you're burning it, then it means the weed is getting too hot. So you either pull quicker or apply less flame. Usually a combo of both will do perfectly.
I bought this baby instead: [url]http://www.everyonedoesit.com/online_headshop/Eagle_Bill__Shake_amp_Vape_Pipe.cfm?iProductID=3408&iProductCategoryID=738[/url]
It's 3 times cheaper, and it seems really good. 3 pages of only good reviews. I should have it within a week, I'll give you guys a review of it.
Mind, please keep us updated mate. Depending on what you think of it, I may buy it. Cheers, and good luck! Hope it works out good for you.
Ok, I just got my Eagle Bill Vaporizer. Fuck you everyonedoesit, delivery time 4-14 days my ass, I waited for like 20 days :/ Haven't smoked any weed in it yet, going to do that tomorrow, but I tried it with some tobacco as I couldn't wait :P Here's the pros and cons so far:
Pros
+ Easy to use. Just took one smoking session to learn.
+ Strong. Although I haven't tried it with weed yet, it really kicked me with the tobacco. Half a cigarette worth of tobacco gave me a nicotine-rush equal to 2 cigs.
+ Cheap. Probably the cheapest vaporizer out there, at a lowly price of 13 pounds. Excellent if you don't feel like paying 200-400 pounds for a volcano.
+ No smoke. The only smell I could feel was a very faint smell of.. popcorn or something. But this was barely noticeable, and if you keep the doors closed it won't spread outside your room.
Neutral
+/- The vapour (tobacco vapour in any case) hurt. Only when I took big hits though, but it still hurt like hell. The second after I took a very big hit I thought my lung was on fire or something :P The reason I put this in neutral and not negative is because I like it when it hurts like that. It enhances the feeling of that you just took a big fucking hit and will be fucked as hell soon. And when you're high, the pain will develop to something interesting. Like a spectrum of several different sensations and feelings.
+/- Takes a longer time to smoke. Half a cigarettes worth of tobacco took me like 20 minutes, while with a cig it would take me 3-5 minutes. Some might like this, others might not. Shouldn't take so long with weed though as you don't need as much.
Cons
- Looks like a meth pipe. People could get the wrong idea :/
- Kills your lighter faster as you gotta keep it under the pipe for a longer period of time to warm it up. You could just use candles though.
- It's a glass pipe, and knowing how very gentle I am with my things, it will probably break within a couple of months :p
- It doesn't come with a box. This is especially bad since the pipe is made of glass. Forget about keeping it with a lot of other stuff as it will probably break.
So far it's definitely worth the 13 pounds.
The first thing that went to my mind when I saw this was... He's starting to smoke meth or what?
Ahah, it still looks like a nice pipe, I'd say that you did a good buy.
Hrm, would it be possible to make a vape by just putting a jar over a sheet of thin metal and heating the metal underneath it?
Ok, just smoked like 0.2 split with a friend in the vape, and we're high as FUCK! Awesome! Especially considering I need like 0.3 alone in a pipe to get high usually. This shit is awsum. I recommend everone to buy one! :)
