Switching Over To The Iolite

Discussion in 'Vaporizers' started by bongs4days, Sep 16, 2014.

  1. I'm going to be purchasing an Iolite very soon. (Found someone selling one for cheaper than what I would have payed for the MFLB) My only concern is that part of the high might be "missing" because certain vapes won't heat the herb enough to the flashpoints of ALL cannobinoids; just the ones at lower temps; such as THC, but not CBN. I like the highs were; the edges of my peripheral vision are blurry, altered depth perception, music is enhanced, i feel like I'm in a new world, and my limbs are on auto-pilot. Will the vaporizer take away from any of that? Many people have described the high as "clearer" but didn't elaborate much. I'm hoping that if the Iolite has a temperature control, or heats to a high enough temperature, I'll be able to activate most/all the cannabinoids, and maximize my experience with it.
     
  2. All in all, if you're looking for that "Stoned" feeling, keep with combustion. the vape high is different, and I know I can speak for several people when I say that.

    If you want the vaporizer to realease ALL the various types of cannabinoid, it would have to get hot enough to pretty much combust it.

    In conclusion, getting a vaporizer, expected to get all the same feelings from smoking, just ain't there man.
    I personally think it'd be a waste of money in your case.

  3. All the good stuff should be able to be vaporized comfortably under the combustion range. I consistently get the same high as I do wih smoking out of vaporizing.  The iolite is honestly one of the worst vaporizers I have used though.

    Yeah, but he also wants the CBN which it's boiling point is around 440F~ as to were the boiling point of pretty much all of the bud is respectively around 450F~ So. might as well combust.

    that's how I see it though.

    to each is own.

  5. Where are you getting your numbers from?

    It is not very hard to stay under the flash point and over the point of the good stuff.
     
    There is never a good reason to combust. NEVER.

    eh. yeah, I was a few degrees off. heheh. anyways, I still think to get that "stoned" feeling, you need to combust. The vape high, (imho) is a much more clear headed high, and you can still function while being super ripped.

  7. Crank the temp up well over 400 degrees and it changes everything.
     
  8. like what? mine is usually set around 360(?)-390. I have an EQ, so I can expect the temperature to be lower than what it says. I read somewhere that the air going through, blowing on the herb is about 20~ cooler though.

    The primary things things that you are missing at vapor temps are toxins like benzine and carbon monoxide that you get when you combust.    It's those toxins that contribute a LOT to that stoney, narcotic high.      For me, there is no question that I don't want to get high from that bad shit. 
     
    But before you can really evaluate if you really like the the high from vapor or not, you must first wean yourself off of those toxins which means............only vaporize and don't combust at all (and that includes cigs) for a period of 3 weeks.
     
    For me, I MUCH prefer the vapor high than that from combustion.    I can get totally blitzed and nailed to the wall with nothing but vapor and that's at between 380 to 390F.    For me, when the temp begins to go north of 385, the taste begins to get a bit nasty.
     
    Edit:   And btw, Apo, you were off more than just a few degrees.   How 'bout 75 degrees F.  ;)

    Couch lock feeling, fuzzy vision, etc. All the good stuff from being stoned out of your mind. It is achievable with vaporization. If it wasnt I wouldnt be vaporizing. Give it a try some time. Go Incremently up from 400 or something and have some fun. You are right though the EQ should be off about 10-20 degrees so 400 really puts you in the 380-390 range.
     
  11.  
    Totally agree.   The Iolite was the worst vaporizer I ever had as well.   Won it in a contest and gave it away 2 weeks later.
     
  12. Haha, whatever, let's just put one in the air, and act like I was dead on. ;D

    I will for sure. I've yet to get to satisfactory results with my EQ. hopefully this works. (:)

    EDIT: I use the bag pretty much the whole time I vape, unless on a pinch like right now. anyways, shouldn't you use the lowest fan speed to get more vapor? ultimately getting the most from the herb?

  14. The way I look at it is if you arnt combusting then you are vaporizing so as long as it stays below combustion you are golden. Any time I have used the EQ with good results its always been with elbow packing and pushing the temperatures up high.
     
  15. sounds good man. thanks for the advice. :smoke:

  16.  
    Which is my perfect range.
     
     
    Well, that's part of the problem.    Go to the whip and elbow pack that motha.
     
  17. elbow pack, 450~F (gotta remember elbow pack is even farther than normal.) whip, and fan on 1. ...? or would that just not help? I put my thumb over the hole, so it's not like it's actively pushing out vapor.

    Probably better off just using your lungs and no fan. I wouldnt go strait to 450 as you do risk combustion. Try like 430(max) first to see what the ABV lookes like. Definently use the whip with the EQ. I dont know if others have been able to but I just havent been able to get good bags any times I have tried it with an EQ. Elbow packs are a must though. They really bring out the potential of the EQ.
     
  19. Does the Iolite have the ability to do that? Or does it always vaporize at a pre-set temperature?

    What didn't you like about the Iolite?
     
  20. Leaked butane. Igniter failed quickly. Over all just a piece of crap.
