  1. Looks cool mate how many hands would you need for that to work well? haha
  2. Whizz Fizz? ! I remember that stuff as a kid too, nice and tingly stuff... may have to go out and buy some soon. What about trying those magic pop rocks that snap, crackle and pop in your mouth? ahaha brings back memories. Reeferman : There is a little bit of a cotton mouth effect but it's not comparable to the smoking cotton mouth at all. A heckuva lot less for sure
  3. I manage to make around 5-6 balloons worth before the subtle taste will gradually 'disappear'. As you continue to use the unit the minty flavour from the bag will also slowly go away and it's much easier later to figure out when all the vapour/flavour's gone You won't be able to always see the vapour... but you will be able to get a hint of it's taste. A couple of quick tips I could suggest to get more milage from the unit: 1) If you can try to have as many bags in as little time as possible it will really help with the efficiency (also. not sure if holding in the hits helps or not, but I do it) 2) You can control the type of buzz you get (it slightly differs with different types of weed) but generally I've found that: 195 degrees celcius will give you a very clean 'high' and 200 degrees celcius will give you more of a 'body buzz/high' mix 3) When filling the herb disk, fill to about half way (in my case, I fill much less) the more room in the disk will allow less resistance and help with the flow of air. 4) When you've had your fill from the bags, eject the tray out and leave the fan on high speed setting to allow it to cool down for about a minute or two (this will help maintain the heating element) That's pretty much the interesting things I've picked up so far using it mate have a blast with the unit. I haven't tried re-using the spent herbs yet, so you've given me something new to think about. Will also check out that Miles dude's music. Cheers :thumbsup
  4. Well it's pretty much a safe bet that it's illegal in most (if not all) places in Australia. Some states have laxer laws then others though but do keep in mind it's an illegal substance and will be treated accordingly (should you ever be caught). What state are you from by the way?
  5. The high is definately semi-creeper style almost like a smooth transition between sober and giddy within a few minutes. It's strikingly different to the smoking high wouldn't you say? I thoroughly enjoy the vapir and it's effects and I really hope it serves you as well as it has me my friend. Happy days to all
  6. Howdy dsyfer Glad you asked that question because I thought I was the only one that experiences that ultra fatigue-ish feeling after a day of smoking. If you use the vape instead of smoking I found that it greatly reduces that lethargic feeling one will get upon waking the next day. You feel a lot more fresh. I actually have amazingly vivid dreams now (and one's that I can remember) compared to my smoking days where I can't remember even one dream and actually don't know if I did in fact dream at all? Those are a few bonus benefits from vaping... less toxins/smoke for your body to deal with. It's a more gentler and safer way to take in the thc (eating food with pot in it would also be another option) Hope this helps.
  7. That's really messed up man I hope I don't live near you (no offense) Some crazy ass loons in this world... what is the world coming to these days? I feel so sorry for ya man. Let's hope they'll get bitten back hard from the karma! Anyway take care dude I'm sure things will get better for ya.
  8. Taste is sensational you can truly taste the 'body' of the herb if that makes sense. Also, I just popped some of the 'spent' herbs into a cone and it still got me trashed So that's always a bonus, that you can put it thru a pass in the vape and then put that aside for a rainy day stash (it still works decent) I can definately vouch for the taste though it's a treat for sure. Smoking it pales in comparison (in regards to taste, vape wins hands down) another great thing is that after you've had a vaping sesh no one will be able to tell (there's no residual smell on you OR your clothes and environment) Hope that helps ya mate Cheers
  9. Edit: Whoops forgot the pic This is 1 week of vapir one usage (I kept all the used remnants of herb so I could track just how much I was using) to see if it was any more efficient than smoking herb. http://img357.imageshack.us/img357/9850/1weekofvapir6fz.jpg (pic on the left is baggie weight without herb : on the right is baggie + herb = 0.55 gram usage in 7 days ) What I thought was 0.6 gram usage in 3-4 days was actually a very wrong guess after I put them on the scales today! Man this thing rocks, I used to smoke that at LEAST in 1/2 a day. This is what I've used so far from monday to sunday! I really think this speaks volumes as far as efficiency is concerned. I use the unit on average of 2 times a day... I also tried a bong today and I was nearly sickened by the taste difference (I don't think I'll ever smoke again if I can help it!) Cheers :thumbsup
  10. Mate if I had a grand laying around for a vape I'd have hooked myself up with a volcano from the get-go I'm just quite poor is all I usually leave the fan on either medium or high through-out using it (unless I want some body stone in my buzz I won't switch between high + low fan speed settings) too much fluctuations that way. It is quite fiddly to get the hang of and I guess I can't compare our situations because I'm only using it for myself (where as you where using it with 2 or more people) and when I have a sesh I try to make as many bags worth of vapour in as little amount of time as I can (basically going bag after bag until the herb's spent) without having many breaths of normal air between bags (and I'll be holding in my hits) The next time you use the unit, try to have 5 bags to yourself in a row. And then pass the unit on to someone else and have them do the same. I've found that this is the best way to get wrecked IMO. It also helps to have the herb disk not so fully packed so the air passes through easier. Always have the unit on medium or high speed setting if you're using the bags. I'd recommend doing it that way, because as you say, the unit makes a weak hit if you use low fan speed setting (also takes too long to fill the bag). I actually will only ever use the low speed setting temporarily if I want the temperature to be a bit hotter (if it gets over 200 degrees you'll be making more of a body buzzin hit, if it's around 200 and under you'll get a nice and heady hit) in this way I'm able to fully control what type of buzz I want/get I rekon the volcano would be better suited for people that don't wanna fiddle about at all, but I'm a fiddly person by nature so It doesn't bother me none Cheers
  11. Some people like the 'smoke' a vape can produce I guess even still you're getting a cleaner hit because there's no butane. I guess people that love the 'on your ass' kinda stone probably wouldn't be completely satisfied with the vapir. It's more of an up-and-go sorta buzz I rekon. Ferengi you're fully welcome to come around and have a crack at this thing mate consider yourself always welcome around my way. I'd love to be able to try a volcano just to see what all the hype's about. Anyone live in brissy that's got one and is keen on demonstrating? ahaha
  12. Yep I used weed to get off ciggies works like a charm.
  13. Thanks for replying I have found that the temperature does fluctuate and I can't debate that fact at all. But at the same time *and I have further tested the unit to try and replicate what you have said* I have found that the fluctuation for each setting is as follows: The fluctuation occurs without switching fan speeds are on an average of a 5% deviation from the set temperature. The fluctuation occuring when you switch from High speed to Medium speed *and in between these settings* is closer to a little under 10%. The fluctuation occuring from High speed to Low speed *and between the two* is closer to around 10% - 20%. So it's quite interesting to say the least. My suggestion would be to compensate for fluctuating temps one would just simply set the temperature to 'below' 200 degrees (I have found 195 degrees celcius to be perfect) even with fluctuating temps it would rarely go over 200 degrees. Another thing to consider I guess would be to try and avoid going from High fan speed to Low fan speed settings too often (as this would definately increase fluctuating temperatures dramatically, but this is logic) I have used this unit around 5 times since I've bought it now. Going from smoking on average of 1.5 grams daily to only 0.6 grams in 3 days is an absolute HUGE difference for me (and something my wallet truly welcomes ) And because of what you have said, I've found a way to add more 'body stone' to the buzz I thought wasn't even possible. So with a bit of practice and some patience I feel anyone could get the hang of this unit. Anyway, thanks for your thoughts. I just don't want to see people getting discouraged about this unit because they really could be missing out on something great. If I truly did not believe in this product then I would not bother wasting my time with all of this typing and reviewing stuff.... I gain absolutely nothing financially or otherwise out of this at all. I'm merely here to defend something that I believe in... and if it means that even only one person reads this and finds useful information here (and decides to give it a go for themselves and is happy about this product like I am) then this will all have been worthwhile for me... Cheers
  14. Wow, it seems you have quite a lot of negative things to say about the unit of course those are your opinions and you are entitled to them and I respect that. The noise, although quite loud, doesn't really bug me at all to be honest. My computer's fan is about half as noisey as that! given that it's designed to prevent over-heating of the actual unit itself, I think the noise is a non-issue. It's possible the reason why you say it has a 'mild' vapour is because it probably doesn't quite heat up as hot as a volcano? (I can't confirm this, but this is my guess) To be absolutely fair on both models, the price difference is night and day. Where as the volcano is highly revered as the be-all-and-end-all of vapes, and given the price... I feel It's not really fair to draw a direct comparison between the two ($220 dollars compared to around $1050 is a lot less than a third of the price, granted you may be able to source them overseas also but you'd have to factor in hidden costs like taxes and shipping fees etc.) Can I ask how many times you have used the unit? and if you have really given it a 'fair go'? It almost seems like you where expecting something better than a volcano at that cheap of a price? I will admit it has a small learning curve, but it's nothing to someone with a little patience My thoughts on this unit still stand. Dollar for dollar, I think it does it's job extremely well. And if I can get high using 0.1 grams of weed... I would DEFINATELY recommend this unit to others. I don't want people in similar situations to myself (financially) to have to fork out extra for a volcano just because it's the bees knees of vapes, when something cheaper can achieve similar results. Just out of curiousity, what version vapir one did you use? I have heard there are 3 revisions? (1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 respectively)
  15. billyluke : The reason why it may seem my cone piece has a smaller capacity is probably due to resin build up on the inside of my cone piece making the capacity different to that of say, a clean cone piece. I can't for the life of me be bothered to clean my piece, because, it's really just... too chokablock and smelly? and IMO there's nothing worse than sticky smelly resin fingers Infinitee : That sounds like a very interesting idea and I can't say that I've thought about it or given it a go yet. But just to clarify, did you mean heating it up inside the herb disk and then taking it out and putting the 'treated' herb into a cone to have as normal? I would say the temperature fluctuating stayed within an average of (a bit under) 10% +/- what I set it as. So there is a small margin for burning possibilities (I have found that 195 degrees celcius seems to be the go though) other factors to consider I guess would be the room/ambient temperature also. But it's mainly to do with my fiddling of the fan settings to help minimise wastage (I'm actually filling up the balloons using the high speed setting now, and then when I take the balloon off to puff on, I'll turn it to medium so it doesn't waste as much) the actual act of switching up the fan speeds while you're using it will also alter the temperature and make it fluctuate a bit. niall : I haven't tried filling up the herb disk completely as yet either this is because I've found that using even 0.1 of a gram will be able to provide me with about 5-7 vapir bags worth of vapour and gets me buzzin and giddy very nicely.... I'm not sure if I could handle a full grams worth in this thing, but it would definately be a fun experiment! The 'stone' is no longer there I must say... It's more uplifting and energetic and with a lot less body buzz (really cerebral and heady) I could go on... but I really should be in bed by now.... it's almost 5am Cheers
