Default Should I buy a vaporizer right now?

Ive been thinking it over for a week now I think I want to go get it right now. The one Im considering looks like a handle and has several different names like the green machine or Vapir Air One 5.0 Vaporizer w/ Inflation Kit is this a good one ?

Just A few ?s stopping me.
#1 is it healthier, will I notice a lung deference
#2 Do you get the same or better effect?
#3 dose it waste product and is it easy to tell when the good stuff has left the bud?

Thanks for any help

Speaking from my experience,

It is healthier. I do not smoke tobacco and my lungs feel so much better and its only been a short time since I got my vape.

I have had vaping take me places that smoking the same stuff cannot do but alas it does not make your weed better but it maximizes the thc you get. I may be saying that wrong and others here will likely clarify better what I am saying.

the ABV, all ready been vaped, material is definately easy to tell when its done. It looks as if the life has been sucked from it and seems like a brown charcoal type material. I have seen where some people say to throw it out and some say to cook with it as not all the things that we like gets vaped, other cannabis attributes I think besides thc but I do not know. I will test out my abv in a week or so and likely write a review of it.

I highly recommend getting a vape. I also highly recommend that you get a vape that fits your lifestyle. I went for Da Buddha vape which is a whip vape and had considered the vape you are considering.

I know that Vapir 5.0 has improvements over the 4.0 version and unfortunately I was never able to find a review from a 5.0 owner but if your into bags and want direct draw that would be a good choice in my opinion.

I never used a bag but I understand it is even hitting verses the stronger and thicker hits you can get off a whip vape. Even though the vapir 5.0 has a direct draw option it does not use a classic wand so to speak and resin type globuls form on a whip vape's wand and this is highly prized and I am speaking from personal experience with this benefit from a whip vape.

I would also recommend checking out the extreme vaporizer. This or the ssv would likely be my second strong considering as well as the vapir 5.0.

I think the vapir 5.0 is cheaper though than the extreme.

I cant put in websites on the forum but if you google extreme vaporizer the first option brings it up on ebay. Seems pretty cool to me.

A lot of people new to vaporizing are attracted to the Vapir One. Version 5 is supposed to have a stronger, more reliable fan and fewer vapor leaks, but they're packing a lot of vape into a $150 package (including a digital temp controller) and only providing a 90 day warranty. I'd ask you to consider why this vape is $100 cheaper than any other comparable unit that also does both direct draw and bag delivery. I can tell you that additional $100 will get you a two year warranty on the herbalAire and the Extreme, and a lot better reliability from the herbalAire. The Extreme is too new to judge in that respect, but the unit the Extreme is based on, the V-Tower, is a good one. I have one myself.

If the Green Machine is another name for the Vapir it's news to me. The vape that's identical to the Vapir One is the Voodoo, and it's made by the same company. There have never been any other clones of this design, so I think you're getting the name confused. As far as name brand, dependable vapes go, there is no model named 'Green Machine'.

If you're new to vaporizing, don't know which brands and models are good ones, and want to buy immediately, you're likely to end up with the wrong vape, and that's the direction you're heading. I'd suggest you do a little thread reading on this forum and the quality, 'good deal' vapes will become apparent. First thing to decide is whether you want bag or direct draw delivery. With direct draw (whip style), you get thicker vapor hits, but there's more of a learning curve to get good results since your breathing controls air flow and therefore, the temp. Bag delivery is easy, but the vapor is mixed with more air since the fan or pump provides a constant air flow. The thinner vapor isn't quite as satisfying to some, and you have to decide if you want to mess with bags. Some people like like a car with automatic and some like to change gear themselves.

As for your questions;
1-Yes, and yes you should. I certainly noticed a big difference.
2-Unless you crank your temp too far up you'll avoid toxins like CO and benzene that provide the couchlock, lethargic feeling. So vaping leaves you with more energy than smoking and puts a lot fewer toxins into your system.
3-Most people agree you need less herb with vaping and you'll know when it's done.

I am exactly like 5drive says. I too was intriged by the design of the Vapir 5.0 but after doing reviews and looking at their week 90 day warranty I decided not to buy that one. After doing research on this forum and others, I finally decided on the SSv or the Buddah. Then I saw the video for the Extreme. It stopped me in my tracks.

If this thing hits as good as an SSv when you are using the whip only with no air, then there you go! Problem solved! You get the best of all the worlds. I think that this will be the future of the next gen of electric Vaporizers. I have stated something similar to this on another thread trying to get someone to do a comparison review of SSv vs Extreme

How about it Tokin?

Default Vapor Brothers

The best vaporizer ive gotten to try(and very close on some of the reviews) is the Vapor Brothers vaporizer.
ive read in the reviews that compared to the volcano the taste is a little better because you pick the draw speed kinda like manual transmissions lol, but that the volcano can hold like 2 grams at a time, although i usually dont need nearly that much, sometimes like .5g in a day or more The Original Vaporbrothers® Herbal Vaporizer™ is $150

That was my first vaporizer, and now it is sitting packed away as a backup unit. I replaced it with a Vapor Warez because they offer a 5-year warranty, and Vapor Brothers offers 90 days. Really crappy warranty.

Vapor Bros. now advertises a lifetime warranty, but having to pay $35 (currently-they reserve the right to raise the fee) to get it fixed after two years isn't a life time warranty at all. AND you have to register your vape to even get the two years free service.

The Vaporwarez VaporCannon also works with more different whips than the VB. I don't know that you can find a two piece whip for the VB at all.

I love my Vaportower, it's a box vaporizer but the design and physics are similar to that of the volcano.

I had been researching vapes for about 2 weeks on different websights and forum boards. The people here were most helpful by giving personal experience and testimonials. Thanks TokinGLX and 5drive and others who helped me find my way. My new Extreme should be here wednesday and after sharing my experience and research with a friend, I think he is ordering an ssv! I am a newbi with vapes but not in expereince. I will be able to give a side by side from that perspective. ........Damn, I wish it was Wednesday.
