i am currently looking to purchase a vaporizer. i am very interested in getting the Da Buddha vaporizer. however, i am from canada and i cannot find it in any stores in the area. it is possible for me to order it from ebay.ca (from a canadian location) though. my question is, should i be worried about purchasing a vaporizer from online and having it sent to my apartment? is this an issue? does anyone (meaning authorities) care about people purchasing such items? also, it will be paid for through paypal (through ebay.ca). should i be worried about using my paypal account to purchase a vaporizer? is there anything else that i should be worried about when ordering a vaporizer online and getting it shipped to my address that i'm not considering?
A small "personal heater" isn't illegal at all! They're very handy for heating essential oils and other herbs like potpourri! I bought my vape online and used my Pay Pal account AND had it shipped to my house. No worries! P.S. - Before you buy the Budda...check out the Extreme Q. Best vape for the $ IMO.
thanks SeaDub. i've read about all the major vaporizers, and i have read about the extreme q. it is very nice for sure, but da buddha is a little cheaper and i feel like i like the more simple design. i don't need all the bells and whistles on the extreme.
Actually the cheapest place is eBay if you don't mind a blemished unit which you'll probably never find a scratch on. From the manufacturers with full warranty for $130 (the carry bag is an extra $15, so $145 vs 190-210). Thing is, the 100v isn't in stock right now. You'll have to watch the page, or get an adapter for the 220v. Silver Surfer Vaporizer items in Higher Elevations SSV store on eBay! Or for non blemished, puffitup.com and others. Shipment to Canada isn't an issue. Edit hell splurge for the 110v SSV since it's the same price as you were about to pay for the DBV, and it's his big brother.
thanks eazydoes. i'd actually prefer the du buddha over the SSV (even though i know it is a great vaporizer - probably was my second choice). i did purchase it on ebay.ca (for under $200 which was a pretty good deal from what i could find, and they had the 110 volt in stock). i purchased it from vaporizers.ca on ebay (that way it's a canadian company sending it to me from canada). their online store sells it for approximately the same price so i'm assuming that their ebay products wouldn't be blemished (i hope). coming in 1 to 2 weeks! can't wait!
thought i'd update on my vaporizer purchase (while not crazy medicated by it). da buddha vaporizer is amazing. took me maybe 15 minutes to figure out a good vape routine. i turn it all the way up for a couple minutes (directions suggested this for each use). then i turn it to 12 o'clock, put in the wand and hit it around three to four times. take it out, stir it up, slightly increase the temp and take another 3 to 4 hits. repeat maybe this 3 to 4 times depending on how much i used. i max out temp around two thirty at most. i have technically vaped before using just a glass tube and a candle a while back. it sort of worked but you could really combust the weed easily. i remembered how great the taste was though and da buddha is even better! the vaporizer taste is amazing for sure. very different than smoking. i had also read that you will use a lot less weed with a vaporizer, this wasn't really a concern of mine but i have noticed that i vape way less than i smoked and i get crazy high! speaking of which, i probably would have been happy with feeling maybe 70% of the effects and just being more healthy and not smoking. well let me tell you, it is well beyond 70% potency effects. my first vape i probably took about 5 hits total and i was tripping out like crazy! it does take a few minutes to hit you and you really have to try and hold your hits in as long as possible, but man does it work great. i'm already thinking that i may never be smoking at home again. overall, i use hardly any weed, i get crazy high, i get none of the ill effects (eg. smoke/tar in lungs, i even feel like i have more energy in general now that i'm not smoking every day), and there's no smell to worry about. i'm very happy with my da buddha vaporizer purchase.
Yup, sounds like you'll be here for a while.. on the light side. Go join the Vape Club sticky if you haven't already. Vapes really are amazing, you picked a good first unit. Lots of people stop smoking for vaping. Too bad hardly no one tries them seriously. Even though you're not too big on conserving bud, the money you save could go into your pocket. My only suggestion is if you want to help with conserving to take a t-break, you'll be able to take 1 or 2 big hits and get silly stoned once it hits you. In this case a wand would last even longer. Other vapes can conserve even more. PS save your ABV (already been vaped) bud in a glass jar. You can eat it straight and get stoned (in a milkshake or sandwich etc so it tastes okay). Or cook oil with it, or make qwiso with it. On that note I also save stems separately to make qwiso.

Defiantly give it a shot, a gram or two will be good depending on your tolerance (and edible tolerance). It'll take the usual time to hit you (about an hour) so don't overindulge. I've been pretty messed up by the stuff, I vaped while waiting for the ABV to hit me... that won't happen again!
DBV's a champ! Nothing has ever gotten me more stoned.. and I'm completely serious about that fact! Greennewb, have you tried setting the whip in a bong and hitting the bong yet?
Da buddha is an awesome vape! Mine has dropped like 5 times and its still good as new. Order it from the manufacturer's website, I doubt it would be cheaper any where else. Also they have a lifetime warranty on the whole unit except glass pieces. Look up da buddha durability test, or something like that on youtube, you'll be impressed.
@eazydoes: thanks for the kind words. i will join that sticky for sure. i am saving the avb. probably going to cook it but not sure yet. @DBV: no i haven't vaped using a bong yet. i will be trying this soon. most likely using ice i think.
Ice isn't really needed cause the water makes it pretty smooth.. honestly I prefer hot water over cold.
i was going to use just ice. i've read that works well. really, hot water? i've heard of using hot water but i don't know the pros.
You won't even feel the hit with hot water, but you lose a little bit of flavor and you won't see as much vapor on exhale, but you get just as high if not higher. Ice tends to sting my lungs after the exhale.. but whatever works man just go with it. Either way your gonna get blasted! Cheers
