No, a vaporizor doesn't burn it, it vaporizes it. Looks like a hotplate with a cover over it to trap the smoke.

OP, what do you want to know? Grind it up, put it on the plate, wait for smoke, inhale.

All i can say is that it is dangerou. From what i hear its most efficient way of smoking, in terms of how much THC is released.

My neiighbors have one... tried it once and it put me on my ass like nothing ever before.

Yeah, this won't last long. Better places to be asking about this kind of "stuff".
 

I've smoked out of the "Volcano", it definitely did the trick.

Get a grinder and make sure the stuff is ground down nice. Spread it out evenly on the hot plate.
Don't over fill or over smoke it, small hits are enough.

Make sure you clean it after every use.

If you like it, you might want to get a little handheld coffee grinder. Those things are great at grinding up bud.

Vaporizers are cool. I'd use one on a regular basis if I had one.

They also make vaporizers for alcohol. Those can be quite dangerous, though. They were huge in Great Britian about a year or two ago.

This is like using Knives I'm assuming?

Heat up two knives on your range...get a nice little chunk...and press it against the two hot knives....inhale. :)

Alcohol?!? You have got to be kidding me, that is not dangerous that is suicidal.
Alcohol vapor is extremely explosive.

Try not smoking for over a year than doing a knife hit. Talk about huge high. At the time I sorta liked it, until my entire body felt like gravity just multiplied 3x. Haven't smoked since.

If its a little dry just do the orange peel trick. Stick a bit of orange peel in your sack and leave it there for a day. Tastes good too!

I think this is probably the most important aspect.

If you just load the buds in there, it doesen't work very well.. At least, not as good as it could. Not enough contact with the hotplate.

doing hot knives is pretty much the exact opposite, providing the most direct link between your throat / lungs and the smoke. my throat hurts just thinking about it. the intent of vaporizers, on the other hand, is to eliminate the harshness and impurities in common smoke and provide the user with a smooth smoking experience.

Doing the "knives" thing isn't as bad as you think...and it works...my god...it works...haha.
