Well I suppose it depends on what kind of herb you're smoking, but I don't remember anything other than pine goodness.


It all kind of blends together after a while though.

I currently have a Silver Surfer and it's beautiful. I've tried a lot of different brands / kinds, and this one is the best that I've used. Although I know the king is the Volcano, but I've never tried one and they're way too expensive for me at the moment.

Vaporizers are awesome. If you're serious about getting one then just go ahead and get it.

So my thread on taking Adderall to study gets locked 5 replies in because it's illegal and asking if it's worth it makes me an addict, but weed is dandy, right?

:roll: What a crock of shit.

Who said anything about weed? The only discussion I see here is about tobacco, which is completely legal for anyone 18+.

While you were openly talking about illegally acquiring and using a controlled substance.

orly?

Of course I use it to smoke tobacco mixes... Sureee...

depending on the quality of the herb of course

i currently mix a bit of tobaco with a bit of product

Vaporizers make the bud taste like burnt popcorn.

Well I suppose it depends on what kind of herb you're smoking,

What, you never mix a few mint leaves in with your tobacco, and yes I could imagine budweiser would taste bad when burned, hell it tastes bad most any time...:D

Come on, I am just trying to help out the thread! :laugh:

I've never tried one, but I've read that the while vaporizers vaporize the active ingredient in ... tobacco, they don't deliver all the other compounds in tobacco, let's call them... tabbacannoids... that really make up the bouquet of the effect. In other words, you feel the first 30 mintutes effect of the tobacco, but the aftereffect, the enjoyable mellow couple of hours afterward, isn't there with a vaporizer. Anyone confirm / deny?

That's like saying "when I was a kid, we were happy to eat our cereal out of old hubcaps" when someone tells you they bought a new cereal bowl with a straw built-in for drinking the milk :p

They use vaporizers at Alinea. They do stuff like fill a hollow pillow with lavender vapor, then set the dish you are eating on top of the pillow so it pushes the vapor out into the air so you smell lavender while eating. So it sounds like you are well on your way to becoming a master of molecular gastronomy.

I have very recently tried one for the first time. It was called a "Deluxe Daddy" or something like that.

very small pinch of product put into the chamber, vaporizer turned on and let run for 12-15 mins, then it was good to go.

i found the smoke to be very smooth and clean-tasting.

it seemed like much less was needed - i would think it would be a way to conserve your product and make it last longer.

the vapo that i tried was $190 CDN with taxes in...

con: not very portable. if you have somewhere that you sit and smoke, i guess it would be more practical, but if you're on the go or partying, it doesn't seem very practical.
