Default Vaporstar looks Perfect! Holycow!

WOW, I just saw this vape on another site, and it really looks like it fills every important need. Usually the glass pipe type vaporizers seem cheap and un able to perform. But its the build of this one that is very well thought out that really has me excited. With the mini glass pipe its very portable, and it looks like all a cold first hit needs is 6-8 seconds and follow up hit are 3-4 seconds thats very nice if true. Now most will at least say the butane from the lighter is not good and while maybe theres a tad bit of truth, to me the pro's FAR out weigh that issue. For one they say one the website that perfectly burned butane is nothing but water left over. The truth is burnt plant material is 99% of the problem with smoking and with this unit used right you wont have any burnt plant material just like the $300+ vaporizers. Again I know some of the glass pipes one are cheap and just suck but look at the hit he gets in the video its a very strong hit of vapor, and this is from a lighter fired unit.

Benifits: Ultaportable, Lightning Fast, no electricity needed, Very Very quality hits as good as some high end units, Cheap $55 with pipe, no parts to break, Easy to learn by seeing your hits. 99% clean if used right. Wont waist or vaporize herb in between draws. Works well with ground weed. Very safe once you get use to it as it no on when not useing it. Very car friendly or even for steping out side and all the other benifits like no smell and saved weed.

Cons: Heating eliment hot to touch. Butane to heat it.

I want to head off the butane defence as it is such a small issue, yes the Vocano and others are technicaly cleaner, but that in truth is by a minute amount and look at the effecency of the Vapourstar, doesn't need to be left on cause it can hit cold in 8 Seconds(correct me if you see different) and is off after the last time you hit it. The video shows the quality of the hits capable. I am so willing to accept the fact that its heated by a butane lighter if all other factors are true and it produces vapor hits like in that video. I mean that looks like a smokers vaporizer - GRAB AND HIT, GRAB AND HIT just like a bong. I'm enormously interested to say the least. I may have found my perfect Vaporizer. So many vaporizers lock you to a specific location this one you can move around with HHMMM.......VERY NICE to my eyes at least.

yeah, looks alright, but compared to a real vaporizer that hit was actually tiny. I know I take hits that are about 5 times that size on my vaporwarez.


Looks like it'd be a handy device for the road though.

I thought the hit looked like a good lungfull, but I'm pretty sure he could have hit it longer and deeper just pull the flame off for 1 second then back on for 1 second and so forth, the Vaporjenie talks about doing this, its just a matter of learning the unit real well. I know its not like a $300 vape in the hit department but its close enough imo for all the other pros it has.

well...when you build a lightbulb or jar vape, you're doing basically the same thing...and trust me....I've done quite a bit of real vaping, and jar/bulb vaping, and they don't compare at all.

The Vaporstar is not even remotely like either a jar or lightbulb. The Vaporstar has a true heating element right above the herbs basically like electric units that mantains 275-395 depending on the skill of the user. Jars or lightbulbs can't provide thick hits because they use radiant heat. The Vaporstar has a true heating element heated by flame. There really is no comparing the two. The two you mentioned SUCK period. The Vaporstar could produce a thick 10 -15 second hit from a skilled user.

Really, without firsthand experience or talking to someone you trust who has used one, its POINTLESS to argue about how well this item works. Quite frankly, NEITHER or you guys are in any position to argue about how well it works (or not) because neither of you have firsthand experience.

Personally, I wouldn't waste my money on this particular vaporizer. I see the potential for problems in many areas. For instance, there is great potential to accidentally burn your herb due to user error. I say that because these types of vaporizers have that potential. I'd rather have a more expensive unit, like the Vapor Brothers. Less chance of burning.

I wasn't argueing with him even though it reads a little strait forward. The point I was making was it really is not close at all to a Jar or light bulb vape. In fact I have heard of a TON of users of these types of vapes(the VaporGenie is like this one and the SupreamVaporizer also - both are heated by fire) and the skilled user can really work the hell out of them and get very thick clean vapor hits. I'm not saying its real easy, but if you dig far enough you will find owners that say they love them, a lot of SupreamVaporizer owners say it hits thicker and harder than any vape they own and they have owned all the big name ones. My point is there is nothing inherently in the consturtion of the VaporStar or the VaporGenie that make it IMPOSSIBLE to get good hits. If the Temp of the air flowing over the herbs is at what it should be then it will vaporize. The big electric units are just 10x easier to learn and use, but once you have the Vaporstar down I'm 99.9% sure you will get thick vapors and no combustion at all. Will that take you a week or a month to learn, thats hard to say, but if you look at the hit the guy pulls in the video then you know it at least give respectible hits, I still say the hit he takes is just about right, do it 10 times and your good to go. What I really liked about the VaporStar is the fact that with the supplied bong you can watch and see the vapor develop and that intern helps you learn faster what you need to do to get the thickest hits. Then there are so many advantages to the size and portablitly and speed of the unit that it just looks like a killer set up for only $50. I'll be geting one and I'll report back when I do but after reading all the info I'm absolutley confident that I can get very thick clean vapor from the Vapostar. As clean as the big electric ones - no, but so close that I'd much rather have it for all the other pluses it offers. Its very simple if the right engineer knew what he was doing when he designed the heating element then its going to work, it was designed from the ground up to be heated by a Bic lighter, with in 4 seconds of the first pull the air flowing over the herb is 300-400 depending on the speed of the pull, if you watch the clear bong to watch for vapors you'll get that down fast(with the VaporGenie you cant tell you have to go by taste and what you exhale to see if you got a hit). For me it boils down to how well the heating element was designed and from the video I can see it was designed very well because thats a very nice hit and just what I'd expect from any vaporizer. Like I said before and like it says on the Vaporgenie web site if you work the flame on/off the heating element you can keep hiting it with out burning it for larger hits. To your main point there are a lot of people who own them and will tell you that HELL YES they work and they love them. I just saw this one for the first time but the Supreamvaporizer I've always know was there but it cost to much. Seeing is beleaving and the Video sold me real quick about the VaporStars ablity to generate good vapors in the hands of a skilled user. Again not argueing but just want valid points as to why the VaporStar can't produce good vapors once learned, because I sure don't want it if it can't produce, but from my observations it looks very nice with a shit load of pluses. I bet if you had it for a month you'd be like - You know what I like this little unit a whole lot.

A friend one mine has 1 of these. I tried it once but I don't know how it works or anything and I can honestly say, this vape knocked me off my feet. For the price I say it's damn well worth it.
