Let me start by saying i have been vaporizing for over a year now and have tried quite a few products. i have never used a portable vaporizer before this one so i will not be comparing it to other portable vaporizers

Thank you for taking the time to read my review i will try and make it as organized as possible.

Lets start with the Cons
the unit is rather noisy, if there is back ground noise it is not a big deal at all

The plastic mouthpiece gets rather warm after extended use.

The cost of the unit although it is revolutionary and an amazing product 250-300 dollars is a little steep but trust me once you use it you will be sold.

now we go to the pro's
This unit is amazingly compact and portable it runs completely on butane so there are no batteries. The unit is very light and does not look incriminating.

This unit is very efficient i had 3 grams of ground medical grade cannabis and packed two 1.5 gram bowls with this vaporizer got me and 3 friends pretty high. the best part is after I vaped in the I-inhale vaporizer i packed my vapor brothers vaporizer with the same bud just at a higher temp and got a couple more hits out of it.

They spent a lot of time on this product it is really amazing and completely worth the price i would say one of the most effective and efficient vaporizers i have ever used.

Thank you again for reading this review if you have any questions please feel free to ask.

i apologize i do not have a camera at the moment so i cannot ad pictures i'm sorry about that.

Pack smaller bowls. More than .7ish grams is just wasted. You shouldn't see much vapor when you exhale. I put .03 grams in my vape's.

Thanks for the review. I've been thinking of buying one for some time now as I've read lots of excellent reviews, in fact I have not seen a bad review yet :)

Is there any smell after vaping?

The smell is hardly noticeable at all. It smells faintly of burnt popcorn.

My friend and I vaped in his living room for about 2 hours. All of a sudden, I hear the door open and his step mom and sister come in. They walked right into the living room and didn't say a thing about it.

The guy who sold it to us said he's heard of people using it in the movies, and trust me, I'm positive you could.

There's always some smell after vaping, but no where near as much as with smoking.

But yeah, for a portable vape, I think it's one of the best out there and they're currently in the process of making it even better.

the unit is almost completely smell less

Aero18: and i didn't mean 3 gram bowls im sorry for the confusion it is .3 grams so .15 grams per bowl then .3 grams in the vapor bros i am sorry for the confusion there thank you guys for reading this review.

punkoo: yes you can use it in the movies i usually hook surgical tubing to it, making a whip. leaving the unit in my pocket and running the whip up my jacket and if there is no one sitting next to you it is perfect.

Here's another hint. Get an empty paper coke cup with a top. Put the Iolite in there, with the tip sticking thru the top. Then, just sip as you would as if you are drinking a coke.

this is actually a really good idea i did this in the outside dining area at In and Out burger didn't even get one suspicious look just fill the cup with paper or paper towels until the mouth piece is sticking out to where it looks like a straw.

It's best to take that out unless your bud is extremely moist.

Does anyone know when the new improved iolite will be available?
This will be my first portable. How does the hit quality compare to Da Buddha or similar non portables?

I bought an iolite and I am very impressed. How much do you usually pack in your bowl? I usually just fill the bowl to the top with herb, I don't pack it to tight, but there is usually room for more.

The factory guys communicate with us here>> Fuck Combustion - Vaporizer Forum / Iolite vaporiser - formerly known as I-inhale

The Iolite is a great vape but it doesn't hit near as hard as Da Buddha.

About how much would it have taken you to get that high using a normal piece?

The iolite/i-inhale is great. Best purchase ever and much more useful than my dust gathering volcano. Find myself using this even more than the quartz glass bats that used to be my portable standby. Iolite travels in my front pocket and Since no flame needed can be used in bars that prohibit smoking.

Good points. Interestingly, I pack .03 in my pipe, but I use an HerbalAire (made in Alberta/supporting local economy) for vaping, so I drop in whole bud bits. The Iolite seems to make people happy.

A friend and I are going to try a butane extraction with our vaped herb and trimmings. Will report on that after it happens.

peace and pot
