Vaporizers

Anyone here own or use one of these for smoking weed?

I don't smoke that often anymore, usually only on weekends.

Was thinking of getting one of these as it doesn't damage your lungs and you Get a lot more out of what you put in.. Well that's what I've been lead to believe anyway.

Any thoughts?

I always found the high a bit weird, not regular weird either.

Oh really? Not as good? I didn't know it was a different high...

I like it far more than the normal combustion method. Feels a lot more cleaner.

Different, haven't compared enough to say better or worse.

Do you own one? A chain store here that sells accessories like that has
A selection, either $100, $300 or $1000. The 1k one looks pretty badass but fuck spending that much on one

So do u think you need less when using a vaporizer?

Do you guys think its sad or normal for a guy in his 30s to smoke weed everyday without fail. Or is it normal.

It's I guess "normal" for a stoner. I don't think it's good, up until this year I was doing that for a good
Couple of years, but I have no motivation when I smoke weed so
I can't do it too often. I do know a lot of people who are the opposite and gain lots of motivation when they smoke. I also know some hugely successful people who smoke everyday. But either way i don't think it's a
Good thing and there'll easily be plenty of side effects associated with smoking that often.

Ok yeah I just found it a bit sad....for the 10 years plus Ive known someone he never or rarel has gon a day without getting stoned off his nut...but he is more fun and awesome stoned so maybe its a good thing for him anyway sorry to crash your thread..

I think it depends entirely on the person, in the sense that there are people for whom it's just some ritual and they function perfectly fine. Long-term health aspects aside, if they are functional, productive and don't have any obvious issues then it's their body, they can do what they like. That said, perfectly functional long-term stoners might be something of a a rarity and some observation of such a person might be required before drawing any conclusions either way.

I think it's a bit sad to be a Rhianna fan so.... different strokes.

Is he a gangsta rapper?

Yeah I am admittedly an absolute mess when stoned so rarely do it, and even when I do it has to be the right situation.

So no davil, I don't own one Not sure about needing more. I don't usually smoke a lot when I do.

Pretty sure Pechora does though?

awesome pieces of kit.
find them much better than regular methods, and better buzz too.

Exclusively use a vaporizer these days..

I have both of these:
http://www.australianvaporizers.com.au/store/arizer-solo-vaporizer.html
http://arizer.com/store/21-the-new-extreme-vaporizer.html

The former is great for personal use, public places - it's very discrete/easy to use/portable.
The latter is much better suited for multiple people / parties / regular personal use.

Would never go back to combustion though - am a definite convert

Oh and:
- It is definitely more economical (need less weed)
- The buzz is more mild - but it's way easier to regulate just how stoned you want to be, I've come to prefer the less zonked out feeling from it
- Basically zero health effects to worry about, especially compared to smoking it

yeh all good like Pech says, would never go back now, wish I'd got one decades ago.

a lil every day and it goes a long way.

Holy shit that looks kinda high tech.

I've been intrigued by them since seeing it on Bored To Death. I'd always known of them but never really bothered with them 'till I saw Ted Danson getting high off his ass on one and rolling around on the floor hehe.

lolz - the day after watching that episode was when I got my first one

twas a biggie thread that convinced me to outlay the few hundy....

Ok I'm definitely convinced, will pick one up in the next week or two.

Yak you got a couple of really nice ones, I'm starting to think that maybe the $100
One I saw won't be good quality.

Peat what kind do you have?

Hey thanks man

I just picked up my air freshener from the Hemp Store.
http://www.vaporitevapes.com/product_solo.html
I run it at around 180.
anyone got any comments on temperatures used?

Weed isn't good fo u and also gives moe $ to da criminals, I suggest you switch onto healthier addictions like warhammer 40000 or street fights! Know wat im sayin?

That's what I've always understood eh, don't bother with cheap ones, just get a good one to start with. Cheap ones are slow and don't hold heat steady.

I dont like them. Feels strange (just cause Im not used to them I spose), prefer to blow out a big lung full of smoke.
I get cained each night after Ive done my shit for the day. Im not a dribbling fucktard (well some here may beg to differ), I dont smoke during the day
even the weekends (unless there's a shit load of gaming to be done, or writing). I hate the whole "stoner" shit, its fucking bollocks, if these people werent smoking pot, they would be on something else, or drunk. Its the people not the weed, and I dont drink either.

Back to the op, it's a heaps healthier way of taking it, but they are expensive (the good ones), compared to a cone or a pack of ziggies.

"stoner" is just a handle. But I suppose one could take it like calling a nightly drinker a drunk.

Drugs r bad fo u!

!

maaan don't encourage him.

hahaha, he's just having fun, and that was class

Thanx 4 da support homes!!! However, thats counter productive ta my efforts on deez thread!!!!

Heh.. nice!

Yes i'm interesting in talking about temperatures too, does it make a difference?

Yeah think i'm going to go for $200-$300.. don't really want to spend much more than that.

I prefer joints too!

But it is the sole cause of my asthma coming back after being gone for about 10 years. When i'm smoking spliffs i need to use my inhaler about 3 times a day, but now 2 weeks of not smoking any and i haven't used it once.

In other news :

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10779518

its that time of year... for the weed is stronger stories... from the fear-mongering herald of all places

replace with shark tomorrow and we're all good for the week

don't panic if you don't smoke weed and if you do be happy you're getting more bang for ya buck

Don't forget that tomorrow they need a "The Rena is still split in half" story, with an update on the splitting in half on friday...

Fucking stupid goddam shark stories. If these fuckheads knew what swam around them all year (more so in winter) they wouldnt set foot on the beach let alone go in the water.

Re temperatures: anything above 180 will work. Increasing the temp will produce more dense vapour. I usually run it at 210 for the first bag with a fresh batch then around 215-220 for subsequent bags until it's all dark/black and needs to be refilled. The extreme-Q I have is good cause it has three fan speed settings too, which is one other way of altering the density.

Two other tips:
- Would recommend getting a pretty good grinder. Vaporizing is all about maximising surface area exposed to the heat source. You really want as finely ground as possible.
- 'Ghosting' (holding your breath after inhaling until it all disappears) is really a bad idea for smoking (for health reasons), but a very good idea for vaping. Noticably increases the intensity/duration of the high and doesn't carry with it any [that I've found in some fairly extensive research on the subject] of the adverse health effects that doing this with smoke would be.

Damn keen to pop over sometime and try your one out, Pech...then hit Crown and blow wads of cash blazed as fuck

Same!

Next week works for me :>

Shit even I do!

Never played Poker at Crown blazed, probably not a recipe for success...though I used to be very successful at Magic The Gathering completely monged...stayed up parting all night, 45mins sleep on the front steps of the venue a tournament was being held at, 6 hours of play in a 140+ person field crushing everyone for an easy 1st place...did that on several occassions...but that's repeated head's up games and a lot more focused on what's actually happening in front of you with the cards...remembering information on a table full of players would be quite different.

Off down the coast on Thursday for the Aussie Day long weekend and saving some coin doing fuck all this weekend, but some stage for sure...be nice to finally meet PD face to face, too!

^ that was with 4:20 breaks any chance we had between rounds, too

Interesting, thanks for the tips. So how do the bags work, and what type of bags do you use? i thought it was simply just a matter of filling up the Vaporizer tank and sucking it straight out of there?

Shit even you do what?

Pech ninja posted and made my post make no sense

Thanks this thread has been pretty informative. Unlike you cunts I actually have a real medical use for the shit

You keep telling yourself that

http://content.karger.com/produktedb/produkte.asp?doi=332079

I have Crohn's Disease. So yes, I will keep telling myself that.

So do you get medical marijuana Resist?

the guys at the hemp store reckoned that if the whip (the tube to the mouthpeice) was going black then your temperature was too hot. they say the vapour should be clean... but yeh I will try it a bit higher than 180 and see how that goes.
and yeh thanks for the mention of grinding it up too, its something I havent really bothered with but I do end up with these half burnt bits and that seems a bit of a waste.

The extreme Q comes with bags but you can buy them separately from any arizer seller too. They're made of some special purpose-made non-toxic plastic stuff. You can just use the included hose thing and breathe directly out of the heating unit but personally I prefer using the fan to collection bag method, then just breathing it as you need, like a nos.

If such a thing existed in NZ... I would qualify

oh sweet! thanks.

These things sound way to convenient

Harmful effects of weed!

Harmful effects of faith in a God which doesn't exist: IGNORANCE

Fuck off, God botherer

I'll pray fo u my child






lol, what makes you think I believe in God? I don't by da way!

Who exactly are you going to pray to then?

My sister's bf gave her a portable CO2 powered vapo for christmas, and I pretty much took that thing hostage for a week. I loved it. Once you get used to measuring your dosage, I found it much easier to be productive / social / aware than after puffing huge Js and Ls, which put me into outer space.

Yes, it's all sounding so good. Almost too good? haha.

Honestly it was great and I'll be getting one here as soon as I have something to fill it with. So easy on the lungs and easier to get things done. It was like having 2 or 3 beers, rather than 5 or 6.

It was a small one like this:

http://bit.ly/xnskPU

Worked great, but did get a bit hot after a while. Haven't tried the big box type ones with a bag or hose.

Yeah after the info in this thread i think i'm going to go for a bigger one for about $200-$300. Don't think i really need a portable one as i only really smoke occasionally when i'm relaxing at home.

That one does look cool though!

On the home front, I've heard good things about the Arizer. Volcanoes are cool, but the whole bag thing seems kinda strange.

Other HUGE benefit to vapos - you don't smell like herb after you puff. Stealth stoner all the way.

I got mine from this guy btw: http://extremeq.com.au/ - has a place just near the CBD can go pick up (which I always prefer to post, too impatient to wait for things to arrive by post haha).

Oh yeah, this. This is probably the biggest benefit of all actually. Never have to go stand outside anymore

this thread reminds me of this



and an opinion I strongly support

joints for life motherfuckers

I got a magic flight launch box last week :

http://www.australianvaporizers.com.au/store/portable-vaporizers/magic-flight-launch-box-vaporizer.html

Took a couple test drives to get the right combo...... but I'm sold !
yup definately a different kind of buzz, more laid back . The best thing is it's so clean, no smell, or dirty ash going everywhere, easy on the throat and lungs
I can't really smoke weed anymore due workplace drug testing so I fired it up with a synthetic blend and yea it was good.
Like others have said I wish I had come across these years ago.
Should have ordered a grinder as well

Thinking of maybe investing in a Vaporite Solo
