A vaporizer testimonial

This is my story about why I would persuade anyone to buy a vaporizer.

Last year my roommate proposed to me that we get a vaporizer for our room next year. Now at this time I didn't know anyone who had a vaporizer who I could ask them about it, or try one out for myself. So I was a little leary about it, I was concerned as to whether or not it'd be worth it if it didn't get me high like I was used with bowls and blunts and bongs. What I had read about them was that it was a different high and that it was odorless. The odorless part was what really sold me because living in a dorm is a pain in the ass to try to manage the smell with a spoof and fans and all that mess. Over the summer we finally decided to go out and buy one, and this is the one we got:



It cost $185 after tax, which I know is a bit much, but if you're considering buying that new RooR bong or fancy bubbler for college, I urge you to consider one of these bad boys.

The first time we smoked out of it I was a little disappointed because I didn't get high like I thought I would. However this is because I was taking the hits all wrong. I guarantee anyone who tells you they don't get high from vaporizers, this is their problem. I was trying to hit it like I'd hit a bowl, suck in pretty hard for ~15 seconds, hold it in for ~10 seconds, and blow out, and probably cough like a bastard. Another confusing thing is there isn't smoke per se, there's a light white mist that you should blow out after hitting it, so if you're getting nothing that's a problem. While hitting the vaporizer, you should have the knob on it turned to about 10-11 o'clock, it depends on the weed, but you'll learn which position is ideal. While taking the hit, you're not gonna feel it in your chest like you feel a hit of smoke, in fact you will pretty much feel nothing. You want to breath it in at your normal breathing rate, maybe slightly faster, for a good 30-45 seconds, and hold for about 15-20. Like I said a light white mist should come out.

I'd describe the high as similar to that of a blunt. Honestly. One of the best things to do with a vaporizer is to smoke a vape pack to yourself. It will honestly last 45 minutes of just constant inhaling and exhaling, one of the best parts is you won't cough nearly as much, and afterwards you are as high as you're going to get smoking, if not higher. The third best part in my opinion is how much it conserves. The bowl packs aren't any bigger than that of a normal bowl, and like I said if you vape one yourself it'll seriously last about 45 minutes. If you pass it around it usually lasts between 20-30 minutes because there isn't that time where you're just holding it in and people usually take faster hits. Another way it conserves is that there's no wasted smoke. All the vapor goes into the tube so when you're not hitting it, if you just put your hand over the mouthpiece it'll prevent any vapor from being wasted.

The second best part of a vaporizer is that there is no to a very faint smell attached to it. If you are vaporizing and people walk in the room, chances are, unless they've been around vaporizers, they will have no clue it's happening. This is ideal for people who are in dorm rooms or want to smoke at home without anyone else knowing. Plus instead of having to be next to the window blowing it out of a spoof, you can just relax in front of the TV and not even worry about it. Also the fact that it doesn't make you cough will keep the noise down too.

And in my opinion the best part is obviously the health benefits. You don't get 95% of the toxins in marijuana and none of the tar that clogs your lungs. After smoking all summer all the time out of a bong and a lot of blunts, I would randomly cough all the time, and if I tried to play basketball or run or whatever my lungs would definitely be hurting. After just vaporizing all semester there was a very noticeable difference in the way my lungs felt, and all the random coughing was gone. I felt a lot better after doing physical activity too.

So, in conclusion, if you're in the market for a new smoking device and you're willing to drop a pretty good amount of money, especially if you're going to college and you're going to be in a small dorm room or a place you don't want to smell like weed, or if you're concerned about your lungs, get a Vaporizer! I have first hand experience with the VaporBrothers brand and I'd recommend it to anyone.

This was a really good review. I was actually considering purchasing the same vaporizer, and this seems to be a good showing of what it can do.

I have a box/whip vaporizer just like yours and I couldn't have summed it up any better. Great review, enjoy the vapo. And like emagdnim13 was saying, one of the first pieces of "furniture" I'll get for my first place is a Volcano vaporizer. Nothing but the best.

I like it how u can save the THC vapor for another time with the volcano vap. Make it, take it somewhere (probably a party), then have fun!

I love my vape too, its great, but I woulnd't parallel it to a blunt high. Blunts make me a bit tired, even though I adore them, but vapes make me wanna run around.

I think I'm convinced as well, conserving weed and getting rid of smell are both very important to me, good stuff.

The smell thing is a little bit false, I vaped out of a Volcano for the first time last night and there's definetly a distinct smell. It just doesn't smell like burnt plant matter, smoke. It's more of "weed perfume" smell. But it's gone pretty fast since it's not smoke. The best thing about the vape is how clean your high is, you can keep getting higher, and higher, and higher... however long you want and you wont get all tired and shit. I'll be getting that same vaporizer after the summer to celebrate getting of U.A.'s because the Volcano definetly isn't worth it. And after a while you start using shitty bags and it gets pretty trashed and it's just not worth half a grand when you can get a vape that's just as good (and in some ways better) for less than half the price. In fact, on average a Volcano will cost three times as much as a box+whip style vape. For the extra $300 you could just got buy yourself a damn ounce of the finest. Or hell, a R00R... whatever you want. Or pay your rent. The Volcano is definetly not the best, it's just a design choice... would you rather smoke out of a bag (reminds me of doing inhalants in JHS) or out of a nice, clean, glass whip (reminds me of a hooka).

But all in all, that was a great review. Many more good times with your vape.

P.S. - If you want to go all out plug your whip/bag of your vape into the joint of a bong and puff that shit. That's the ultimate shmoke.

I go to UConn, though just got finished and came back home today. Now it'll be good for smoking in my room without my mom knowing.

And they are fucking PERFECT for dorms because it's so nice to just sit around with your friends passing the whip around watching TV or whatever instead of huddling next to a window with a fan going and all that. And emrandel is right, there is a tiny bit of smell, though I think the smell from a volcano may be stronger because all the time people would walk into our room while we were vaporizing, even one of our roommates parents, and all the time they would have no clue that there was anything going on. There's certainly not enough to go out into the hallway. If I converted people that's great because I know when I considered getting it the fact that I'd never used one almost scared me away from it.
