Well it only took me 4 months. Anyhow......here they are





I LOVE these units and for $50 shipped I haven't seen anything else that I want.

1. Bong Vapeing is "FUN AS **LL"
2. Good looks
3. Portable
4. Effective? You bet - Fat Vapor City
5. One bowl does it - Two knocks you out.
6. Really pays for itself since it's only $50.
7. Low Smell.
8. Vapors in 6 Seconds
9. The bowl can mix and match with tons of differnt bongs.


The VaporStar is a total winner. I've used it now for 4 months and I can't find a single negative thing to say about it. Scorching is rare - the only times I do is because I can't accept the fact that there is no more left in the bowl, I just have to prove to myself there is one more micro hit. It has excellent control, I can always take it right to the brink of scorching - When I'm done bowls are beyond spent and rub in my fingers to a true powder, I credit that ability to the VaporStar heat exchanger. I'm learnig that a new bowl of herbs just may be a better way - but hey, I know you know what I mean. If I'm not "Vapeing on the Edge" I scorch 1 in 50 hits if I am I do it 1 in 15 hits. The VaporStar heating element uses 16 air inlet holes to disperse the heat evenly like a bunson burner on a gas stove the flame never reaches the herbs. It's a very effective design and the amount of time/heat appilied is all you worry about as it's virtully scortch proof in the first 6 hits of a bowl. Once the herb is dry it even lets you really extract the utmost last amount out of the herbs because you can apply instant longer/hotter heat to do that, at the bottom of a bowl I just double the time I have the flame heated into the the heat exchanger watch for vapors and that produces results in just 5 more seconds to really extrct any last vapors.

Final Conclusion - VaporStar's COST/FUN ratio is off the charts. It's the only way I smoke/vape and I like it so much I fully intend to buy me a substantal back up collection maybe 2-4 more, I'll be using these in 25 years.

Negatives: It's lighter based - This means NOTHING to me I could care less and won't push the finicky heath point that far. I like to - Hold my Bong - Flick my Bic - and Vape that Hit all on my couch like I've done with bongs my whole life.

I have more pics over in the Post your Pic section at the top of the main vaporizer thread.

Awesome man,

Read your review and bought one! Truth be told I was going to anyway once the exchange rate settled down.

I've got a volcano here at home, but I want something portable and considering the cost of the volcano and that it's not mine I obviously can't sit around vape-ing with my friends, so I figure this should cut it for the social calls of smoking

so do you need a torch lighter?

Your going to love it, I guarantee. I could list 20 more positives but since my first post had a tad feel of a rant I'll refrain. Just report back after you've used it so others can have a second opinion. They are the best value I've ever made on a smoking item.


BTW: Be sure you use a grinder it makes any vaporizer 4x as effective, buds just tend to be more difficult by design.

SuperTorch

Of course not. In fact I hated the look of holding a torch to it(to crack looking) so I don't, that and the fact that a Bic really works perfect, I've learned don't fix what isn't broken. If I do chose to use a torch in the future I'll get one of the single jet high end Colibri's because they tend to have a smaller jet/flame than the cheaper stuff designed to really torch substances as opposed to lighting a cigar like a Colibri. But after useing a decent torch I just blew it off as the bic was so much more natural and simple and just made for the job.

Part of me would want this for portability, but I hate driving around with paraphanelia... I'd rather a portable vaporizer that doesn't look like a bong.

Mostly true (although I think 4x is stretching it quite a bit), but not always. The herbalAire, as discussed the other day in another thread, will blast through a broken off piece with effortless ease and makes for a much cleaner session and cleanup. I suspect the Volcano also has no problem with pieces of bud vs. ground weed. It all depends on the vape design. It's a matter of inspecting your vaped weed to determine how well it cooks with your particular vape.

never a good idea




I've always ground up my weed and have never vaped a bud so maybe it's easier than I think(I think I treid once or twice and it sucked big time- small vapors or to often stiring). The VaporStar instructions say to rub your herbs in your palm to get one last hit, its very messy but ultimately does work in the end what is left with a really vaped session from the VaporStar looks like fine pepper and has been thoroughly vaped. I'm out of herb right now but next time I intend to break my habit of wanting that last 5% and just move to a new bowl. I think sending a message that a grinder is worth every penny and more when vaping is my point and for that matter just plain smoking.

I'd agree that most vapes would perform better with ground weed, but there are exceptions. If you bought one I'm sure you'd get info in the instructions about it. At worst, you'd find out by using it. I've got two of the exceptions-a Vapolution and the herbalAire. Vapolution has a small diameter bowl with no screen (a dimple in the glass blocks the weed), so proper loading is important to get good air flow and avoid sucking small particles past the vaping area. Load it too tight and you lose efficiency though. With the herbalAire I have the solution for any partially vaped pieces from the Vapolution-just run the leftovers through herbie. As I said, it's a very efficient machine and using pieces instead of ground weed just makes it a lot easier to keep both ends of the system clean.

SuperTorch

The Vapolution really NEEDS a bud or packed herbs to kinda keep it in place, if it used a screen it may do better with ground herbs, that design and the heating element below the bowl is the mian reason I'm hesitant on the Vapolution, everybody likes their Vapolution but it's not ultra easy to use keep clean. The SSV angled design is something I like. I'm big on having clean pieces I clean mine everytime and never more than 2 uses without being clean, and the VaporStar excells at that it can be cleaned top to bottom like new in 5 minutes and when you use it next you really appreciate the taste and just freshness of a clean piece every time. I really dislike the smell of a dirty used device and the way it affect fresh herb hits. Whips are not the easiest to clean but with the right tools I guess really could be and bags aren't easy either. When I'm talking about ground is better I'm really saying how fast/thick you can get the Vapors off the herbs, I'm sure with longer times and more heat even a bud can be fully baked. I can't think of any scenario where a bud can produce more vapors than ground but with the design of some units a bud may be the only way. All I know is hits 1-3 on the VaporStar are VERY THICK with ground herbs but I'll really test a bud to the limit as it would be easier to dump out and load a new one. If you have a decent vaporizer it's going to do the trick, then to each his own on what they want to use as a mainstay I'd really like to test about ten different units but I'll state right off I don't like being location locked so I'm weary of some/most units but if I tried them I may feel different. Right now if I was going electric a Black SSV is where I'd lean towards.
