vaporizer

A device used to heat up marijuana buds (around 390-something degrees F) to the point where the material (including the THC, Cbd/cbn, etc.) is a vapor form. Usually, the vapor is held in longer than smoke, somewhere between 15-30 seconds. Also, the vapor is drawn slower than smoke is inhaled, for about the same time as it is held in the lungs.

There are various types of vaporizers, the most efficient being the heat convection types, which pass heat through the material rather than heat it up. Dome vaporizers, which usually consist of a brass bowl and a plastic or glass dome, and a suction tube, are considered by different studies to be less efficient and possibly harmful. Unfortunately, the most efficient vaporizers tend to be the most expensive.

Save your money for a vapie, your lungs beg you.

lightbulb vaporizer

a great cheap way to smoke weed. take a simple 60 watt burnt out lightbulb and take the black thing off of the top with a screwdriver or plyers. then break all the shit out of the inside( be careful here) and wash the white stuff out.next find a a pop bottle, and a pen. take the pen apart so all you have is the hollow tube where the ink thing was. then take the pop bottle cap and cut a hole just big enough so the pen body will go through. wait for the lightbulb to dry, cant have any water inside. when it is dry, put a small amount a marijuana inside(make sure you break it up real nice) and screw on the bottle cap, it fits perfectly. then take a candle and light it and hold the lightbulb about half an inch off the flame.NEVER HOLD IT ON THE FLAME this makes the weed catch fire and the smoke is very harsh.the whole idea behind a vaporizer is that you dont burn the weed, just the THC. when you start to see something like smoke(THC) coming out of the weed then shake it alittle and breath slowly thru the hollow pen, you can hardly feel it but your getting a huge ass hit, you can to it anywhere in your house because it does not leave a smell at all. after you use it for awhile, it will become "dirty". dont wash it out, the stuff on the sides is THC, just hold the lightbulb to the side and use it like you would if there were weed in it, awesome high from the sides!
all in all it takes maybe 20 min to do and it will last a long time and gets you the highest you've ever been. if i had to spend 20 min of my life on anything, it would be this.

Me and Nick didnt feel like leaving the house at night so we just got the lightbulb vaporizer out and got fucked up right there in my living room.

vaporizer

The most efficient way of consuming substances found in herbs by avoiding combustion and the various health risks that are accustomed to smoke. Cannabis vaporized is proven to deliver most of the active ingredients found in the plant (cannabinoids, flavinoids, etc) while avoiding the majority of tar, carcinogens and unwanted chemicals. The vaporizer does this by heating the herbal blend up with heat by using hot air (convection), a safe metal heating plate (conduction), or sometimes both. The extracted cannabinoids turn into a mist (or vapor), and is less irritating to the lungs, therefore reducing coughing and allowing you to inhale larger hits. Since THC can be destroyed by combustion, the total % of THC inhaled per hit is much more than smoking, therefore reducing the amount of herb used for desired effect; in the long run saving you money. By using heat right under the threshold of combustion, many chemicals found in smoke is not present in vapor. The temperatures used are from 314.6 F - 400+ F. When a vaporizer is first used, it tends to become the preferred method consumption, producing a positive, very cerebral head high. Many of the couch lock effects from smoking will be left behind, leaving you to want to get up and do something like socialize or get tasks done, instead of being a lazy couch potato. The biggest change people notice from making the switch to vaping is a HUGE reduction in phelgm, and the dreaded Smokers Cough goes away.

Your Lungs: Please help... All those joints, pipes and bongs rips are really starting to take a toll on my breathing functions. The carbon monoxide, tar and cancer causing chemicals are rapidly destroying me! Whether or not cannabinoids help reduce risks of cancer, they don't help prevent many other respiratory diseases that likely WILL eventually develop if something is not changed.
Your Brain: My lungs are right.. they have taken enough abuse, I think its time to switch to something safer and proven to prevent those diseases, im speaking of course, of vaporization. Time to save my money and my body from these terrible unwanted chemicals by using a vaporizer.
Your Lungs: Thank you! I will forever be grateful and show my appreciation by staying disease and phlegm free for the rest of your long, happy, green-indulging life.

A Vaporizer is a tool that allows you to smoke Marijuana without burning any plant matter, which allows for just the active ingredients in Marijuana (THC) to be released into a chamber which is then inhaled.
