Has anyone tried one of these contraptions?

http://www.marijuanavaporizer.com/c...040204&BID=4013

The graphics on the website cracked me up for some reason...

They are heaven.....and fucking expensive.

tried one years ago and it didnt work well at all, maybe they got better at designing these things in recent years, good idea for those who dont want to fuck up thier lungs, i dont smoke that shit anymore anyways so........i dont know much about whats new out there, all i know is those pyrex glass kaleidiscope colored bong/pipe things are fucking stupid looking, ive always hated those things.

Yep. They're the goods if you could be stuffed to spend the money buying one, or the time making one. Stoned doesn't even come close. It's like being hit with a weed hammer.

Holy shit,I've never even heard of these things.

I've always wanted one of these.

100 dollars for one? To me that's worth it. Easy way to use Salvia.

vaporizers are for pussies. get a fucking bong

__________________

True....so far a bong is my favorite method of delivery.
My bong is home made by myself and costs less than 2.00 in materials

20.oz Coke bottle + stainless steel Bowl + Bic pen tube = Wasted

Hahaha Thats exactly the same shit I use.

Evidently, a more efficient system of administering marijuana would be something for pussies, I imagine.

Wow, those are expensive.
A few months ago, I saw them over here for about 40 euros.. I reckon thats about 50, 55 dollars.

Explain how it's more efficent. When your done vaporizing you have the same ammount of weed but it's as useless as a fucking log of shit, bong you burn a bowl what's left...nothing. how is it more efficient??? My friends all had them for about a year swore by them telling me how great it is and I just sat back with my bong and told them they are wasting weed, money, time cause in the time it takes them to heat up the vaporizer I've already smoked two bowls and I'm cooking some food. anyway I digress long story short vaporizers put into storage and they went and got bongs, and now we have battle of the bongs. Mine kicks a substatial ammount of ass, it's made by sour glass, formerly Zong Toy co. it's a double percolator about two feet tall and beautiful.

I will say this and only this positive about them, it does give you a great taste. but I don't smoke for that reason, I just gots to get HIGH.

Bah, what rubbish. I'd rather spend the $99 on something a lot more "useful" heh

Those things are the shit though. The problem with any conventional instrument for use in administering marijuana is that they all involve burning the weed. When you burn it you don't burn all the THC, CBN, and CBD in the plant material and it is wasted. With the vaporizer you get twice as much of the above chemicals without harming your lungs. I even once read a testimonial that stated about a joints worth of weed in a vaporizer called 'the volcano' got 20 people ripped out of their skulls and no one pulled out a bowl for the rest of the night.

I guess it depends on on how much you smoke as to how bent you get off em, those dudes probably don't smoke that much, I don't know... I only hear shit about those things. I'd rather smoke cones anyday.

If you're burning it, obviously its not going to be as efficient, because you're losing a lot to the air, and because this vapouriser doesn't burn it as such, you don't get all the waste.... wouldn't surprise me if i'm incorrect though; i don't/won't smoke

this is how i describe my experience with the thing. its like waiting for a plug in hot plate to warmup<is it ready yet??>, then theres a period of doubt to whether the vapors abundant to take a hit<is there supposed to be a cloud in there??>, then it doesnt seem to be working<dude this things sucks, what a rip off>....or is it?. then everyone takes a turn on the thing like its the last bonghit on earth<me first me first>, its over before you know it,a choice bud is spent and gone, then you smoke the weed anyway"just in case", total confusion and dissatisfaction

edit: this all occurs while not getting stoned, maybe slightly

WUSS!!!! c'mon man everybodys doin it

I just use a wood block toke pipe: Drill a inch or 1/2 inch whole at the end of the block on the surface, and on the opposite side of the block drill a hole into the side and into the bowl....It looks stupid as shit! But it works.

When I tried it there were four of us....we each did our own turn...took a small bud and yes...it's gotta heat up.
It gets cloudy but not smoke cloudy but rather like steam.
It blew my head off....one lung full.
Never did it again seeing it was at a friend of a friends home and they no longer live in Florida.
I never really thought about getting one...bong works fine. I also occasionaly use small metal pocket pipes.

OK.



It has to do with the temperature that the various psychoactives oxidise. The temperature of a vaporiser is much higher than an ordinary flame, even a butane/jet lighter. Basically it effciently removes all the goodies and leaves everything else. I can't explain the exact process, you can google it if you want.

Oh, and the 'log of shit' left behind is all the other crap which creates the smoke that you just inhaled into your nasty cloggy little lungs. Fun things like tar, chlorophyll and weird chemicals like terpenes and pyrenes. Of course, I realise that not wanting to inhale industrial chemicals does in fact make me a pussy. I'll come and pussy-laugh at you in the oncology ward when you're 60.

If you had to medically administer pot to make it as clean and efficient as possible, you'd vaporise. That, and it can turn dirty shake into superweed. A big vaporiser hit from crappy weed is a huge surprise the first time.

I don't smoke weed but I got a great ideal about this product. Use it to get high then take the left over waste weed and resale it. People will buy it because they can see it and measure the weight. You can then buy more weed to use in the vaporizer, get riped, and repeat the scam again

__________________

Would it stand to reason that the ingredient that produces the buzz could be extracted and put into a pill? Or even synthesized like opiates are done in the pharmaceutical industry?

When we hear of the rare cases of medical marijuana...the media always shows it as prescription joints! haha

Anything can be extracted, including THC, and put into a pill form, but I bet the buzz would be different. It would have a slower delivery and perhaps last longer.

You guys are going to think I'm such a druggy....

These girls I know bought an ounce of really good weed....cleaned it like I've never seen...sifted it about 4 times into a large bowl...added a store bought cake mix...made a sheet cake and there were 7 of us and we split it as evenly as we could....a piece for everyone.
It took perhaps 2 hours...but this body high (not the standard head buzz) hit me like a wall...lasted most of the rest of the day. It's funny when your arms and legs are stoned...whole diff feeling.


Your_God_Is_Dead
Duct tape....heh heh

They do have prescription joints. The reason is both that the effect is more immediate and efficient through the lungs and also because it requires less processing and yields a cheaper product.

People are getting weed licenses like mad out here in California right now (one of my friends has one) and they mainly get hydroponic chronic weed in bulk form. Basically you go to one these doctors, explain that you back or whatever hurts, you've already tried prescription drugs and they don't work for you, but smoking weed solves the problem. They hand you a card and that gives you the right to buy weed from "the weed store" or from a private party who has one of these cards. You can also grow your own and sell it to other people who have a card. Basically you are a legal drug user AND dealer.

The vaporizer sounds amusing, I think it might be roughly the same as using a heat gun based on the descriptions, but in a better delivery system.

Do that and you will most certainly face the wrath of the weed gods. Better off givin' big deals of of quality product, make a little less profit, and score some karma points.

I too have thought about this. I came to the conclusion that if you purchased some hash oil, and injected into a vein somewhere, you could acquire quite a good buzz .

Cool man, why don't you go ahead and do it. Report back once you're done.

No. I never said I wanted to try it. It was just an idea for someone who might be willing to experiment.

Uhh...haha, I'll pass on the vein oil job.

lol, you might just give yourself a stroke or kidney failer and that's if it can make it through your heart and lungs first without it cloting. No oil is meant to be injected in a vein.

__________________

Lol, yeh probably, I don't think hash oil is quite as thick normal oil but I still wouldn't try it.

Anything other than blood in your veins is going to have some effect, and i think oil of any kind would be a very negative effect, no matter how thick or thin it is

If you want a really good high then inject gasoline into a vein. What a rush

I think we had a different item for each day of the week at one time and a couple had names. Purple Ralph, 5 Footer (5 foot piece of pvc that I couldn't come close to doing anything with and it required 2 people to use it), and one that was red and mostly duct taped plexiglas cuz it had been through hell. But I rigged some new aquarium tubing to one of the bongs and made a sweet pipe to sit and 'sip' and watch tv before bed. It was cool.

Been over a year now since I quit.

Hi Boobman! How ya doing?

too lazy to read entire thread... so i hope im not repeating shit

vaporizers are good because:
no carbon monoxide or tar to fuck your lungs
no smell to bait your scene
so easy and smooth, even noobs wont cough... that much

but yeah... the best delivery i've ever had was from my old bong, TNA (tits and ass... or total nonstop action if we were trying to impress girls ) ... it was purple, 18 inches tall, and had a cap that split into 4 hoses. And we just packed the entire thing with ice... and you wouldnt even feel it fucking you up. It was like breathing normal air... and then your lungs realized "shit theres no oxygen in here" and then you'd cough... and be stuck in a cloud of smoke so thick you wouldnt be able to see the bong right infront of you... it was... beautiful *tear*

You guys should try using a sobe bottle for a B. There is a random indent at the bottom and it actually works quite well.

Lets hang out!

What I look at is the THC transfer rate. Apparently joints and pipes are the best for getting as much THC from your bud. Water filtering bongs actually filter our the cannaboids instead of the tar and shit (although it's not totally proven) but joints waste bud because all the smoke isn't captured. The vapourizers do have a lower cannaboid/tar ratio but the THC level is blown to shit, being replaced with useless CBN.

This is just a little summary of a study.
http://www.growkind.com/vaporizer-study.html

As a med student, I get the chance to take a year off for research. I wonder if I can do something like this and perhaps prove the effectiveness of water filtering?


I prefer the joy of making joints. It's great having a sense of accomplishment after making a joint containing 1 1/2 grams of bud and about the size of a whiteboard marker. It's also kind of fun scrounging shit together to make a bong with little more than some stolen garden-hose, a hollow garden gnome with it's head ripped off and some aluminum foil.

Fuck. I've got an oral exam thing now, where I have to do simulated CPR, medical interviews and injections. We're supposed to be well dressed but I'll just wear the jeans and Psycroptic t-shirt I've been wearing the last four days. Fuck, I'm gonna be an awesome doctor.

What I forgot is that it's probably safer to make budder than use vapourizers. It takes a bit of time (2 hours of simmering) to get a really good amount of THC out of the bud and into the butter. Then you can cook the budder in just about anything (cookies, cakes, brownies....), you get high and your lungs aren't fucked up. Just remember when cooking with pot, THC is oil-soluble.

Actually my main concern is that I mix pot with tobacco for joints and cones to get headrushes. I've tried making joints with this other herb that makes the smoke taste sweet and doesn't smell but it's not as good.

Oh speaking of marijuana, me and my friend "found" half an ounce of weed from some drug dealers in Camden, 14 ten's, so that's like £140! And it's damn fine stuff as well.

Deal.

__________________

You pay 140 POUNDS for half an ounce? I can get half an ounce for about 120 bucks AUSTRALIAN..... jeez you guys get ripped off over there.... and don't try and tell me your shit is exceptionally good or something...

__________________

hahahahaha... i can get a full ounce for 180 CANADIAN... i think i win.

__________________

Nevermind... Posting in this thread probably isn't a good idea.

the most i've ever seen for an ounce was 240 CAD... and the only things that might get that high in price are AK47 and blueberry weed... which happens to be a crazy hybrid between cannabis and blueberry plants. yeah... you guys are unlucky hahaha.

__________________

Meh, I dunno I think it's like £10 pounds for a good "benz" (or a "tens"), and there were 14 tens in there. You work out if it's a fair price or not, since I don't know about marijuana commerce, I just find it in places and take it from my friends!

hee hee yeah

Hey, what you said so affectionately about your smokewear sounds about like how we talk about ours at times. Lots of memories.
Good ole Purple Ralph got it's name cuz one of the kids hit it while he was drinking a beer and he inhaled and swallowed some spit down his windpipe so he ralphed in the trash can. Watering eyes and everything. Funny. Thus the pipe was named.

I tried herbals once, i got... a big ziplock bag of it 3oz? for like 20$, and it was from my friend who is a drug nerd, who knew evreything about herbs... and it was the best stuff ever... tasted like froot loops... kinda... and TOTAL memory impairment... and the wierdest body high ever. Just make your own shit, its so much cheaper.
