I have been using the Vaporizers for a while now from friends and thought it was nice but i smoke cigs.... so i never really cared about the smoke deal.... I have tried the volcano at parties and for that sort of deal it is awesome... I dont know if its $500 awesome..
but, for you that want to vape decent... and not be crack head with a bulb or hot plate....
check out what i just got the other day. This is pretty nice... i can control the temp all the way down to 200,
I find that i can sit and get really high by sucking on this tube for hours... ON an off hitting it when i want... when you have it at a low temp like 222 you can stretch it out... then after you think its all done.. (if you dont care about smoke) when you run out of good shit.. you can smoke the waste and get loaded.... or bake with it... hell what im saying is that a $120 dollar investment (that most of us spend on bongs and pipes easy) you can have a deal that is better for your health... stretches your weed so you dont waste...I dont know i think its great.
This is the one i got... i think they are considered "box style" vaporizer... Its called the easy vape ... Looks cool too.
