The only disadvantage to this vaporizer is that it is slow as hell and it has the possibility of burning your herb but i like it alot.

Glad you like it, but there are much better options out there. That one uses conduction for heating, so only the herb that contacts the metal gets cooked. Also, the bowl looks like brass, which probably contains lead, which is definitely not a good thing to be heating up. While vapor is very much preferable to smoke, a lot of the cheaper vaporizers use unsafe components in the vapor path, and that can defeat the purpose of using a healthier method to ingest your herb.

Personally, I'd much rather use a $50 VaporGenie or Vaporstar with a lighter than the dome unit you have. My first vape was the BC Vaporizer. Yours is copied from the BC vape, so I know how inefficient it is compared to a convection vape.

My advice is to read up here on the vape forum. You'll quickly identify the good vapes that people are buying and are happy with. Save your $ and move up to a good convection vape ASAP, and make sure you don't just get a cheap 'made in China' box vape off ebay that'll give you the same problems with potentially dangerous components in the vapor path. If you can't contact the maker of the vape by website and phone #, don't buy it.

I have learned to hate that vape. Conduction is a LIE!!! A LIE!!!

Even Vapir is better (don't get Vapir).

Sorry we can't approve of your purchase snowman, but if you had read some threads here and on other forums, you'd have found the vapes that everyone likes, and why. Start saving some lunch money and meanwhile you can figure out your upgrade. If you like the dome vape you'll love a good convection unit.
