Vaporizer pipes are perfect when you need a portable vaporization solution or the power is out.
A vaporizer pipe is any pipe that is used for vaporizing herbs or plant matter. Most pipes already are vaporizers technically; if a user has enough skill just heating any plant matter in the bowl gradually will cause active compounds to be vaporized and inhaled while leaving toxins unburned. This technique is very difficult and almost impossible to achieve with burning any herb so there are many specially manufactured designs that make the process much easier. These devices normally employ a flame guard made out of a flame resistant material that can insulate the combustible material packed in the pipe.
Vapor Genie
Vaporizer pipes are possibly the simplest method to achieve vaporization of herbs and plants. Their operation is very straightforward and not much equipment is needed. Many vaporizers require a power source such as an outlet or batteries but most pipes are powered by open flame. Though many users prefer special lighters that have no toxic elements for heating their vape pipes any open flame will work.
Vapor Genie manufactures some of the most effective vaporizer pipes available today. Their design includes many quality parts including a ceramic flame guard and stainless steel screen to provide an exceptionally clean vaporization experience when used correctly. The Vapor Genie is slightly more expensive than many other pipes on the market but if properly maintained it will last a very long time. The manufacturer even ships every device sold with a lifetime warranty.
Some vaporizer users with the ability construct their own vaporizer pipes or attachments to turn conventional combustion pipes in vaporizers. This requires finding material to use has a flame guard, something that can withstand very high temperatures and conduct heat evenly. Vaporizing with a pipe is a very manual process so a great deal of the success of a design depends on the users ability to make it work. Homemade vaporizer pipes may not be convenient for everyone to use but many creators find their function more than adequate and the price unbeatable.

The Vapor Genie is a specialized pipe that uses a 
ceramic filter to vaporize any packed herb instead of burning it. Probably the simplest vaporizer available it requires only an open flame and some patience.
The Vapor Genie is a vaporizer pipe. At first look it resembles the thousands of other combustion pipes available with a bowl chamber on the end of a tube. The difference is that while most pipes have open chamber that permit flame to directly contact and burn loaded plant material the bowl of the Vapor Genie is covered with a perforated flame resistant ceramic. This prevents contact and instead the temperature of the air in the chamber is gradually increased. The ceramic used is a very high quality and provides very clean hits.
The user holds an open flame near the ceramic cover, though not touching, and inhales. It takes several seconds to heat up but once it reaches the required temperature the user will start to taste the desired compounds. If the chamber gets too hot and begins burning the flame is simply moved further away and it will quickly cool. It is a very manual process and can take some getting used to but are relatively inexpensive. It does not have a display or sophisticated control mechanism but for 50 bucks and the cost of shipping you can be ingesting significantly less toxins then you are now with smoking.
The lighter styles most smokers use can contain toxic materials so vaporists who are concerned with health and safety will use specially designed lighters although any flame source will work. It is a very simple design with no moving parts. Units that have kept properly maintained have been known to last a very long time, if even comes with a lifetime guarantee. The quality of components used including the metal screen and ceramic flame guard means it can continue providing clean hits as long as it is cleaned periodically.
If you currently enjoy smoking a pipe but want to find a healthier alternative or just want an affordable introduction to vaporizing the Vapor Genie is an excellent option. It does not have many of the features and uses of most of the vaporizers on the market but what it does do, provide portable flame powered convection vaporizer hits, it does very well.

Vapir Air One
Vapir vaporizers are small, easy to use units that can be used at home or on the go. The units are relatively inexpensive and have introduced many smokers the benefits of vaporization.
Vapir is a vaporizer manufacturer that makes a range of vaporization products including the Vapir Air One, Oxygen Mini, and Classic.They are one of the most popular producers of hand held and portable vaporizers and are known for providing a very affordable vaporization experience. They have forced air models that can be used to fill bags with vapor and several tube style designs. With the option to run their vaporizers on batteries or plugged into a wall or car socket there are not many places a Vapir will not work.
Both their hand held and table top units use convection to heat the herb to the desired temperatures. The heating element they use is metal in their units and is known for heating up quickly and maintaining a constant vaporization temperature. Several of their models, including their very popular Air One are built with digital controls and readouts. This can make it particularly easy to get started for novices who may be intimidated by the thought of having to find the right spot on an analog dial. The thermometer and controls are convenient but like most vaporizers finding the optimum setting really depends on the herb used, the vaporizer, and personal preference.
Vapir Mini Oxygen Vaporizer
Vapir vaporizers do require maintenance over time and some users insist on thorough cleaning components before use. The metal heating element can become dirty which can ruin the taste of the vapor produced and contribute toxins. Regular maintenance can help these devices last a long time depending on usage levels. For a stay at home model that you know will experience frequent and heavy usage there are some other models to consider but if you are new to vaporizing or need portability the Vapir is great.

quality and convenience
The Silver Surfer Vaporizer combines high quality materials with a convenient design to make a very nice vape.
The Silver Surfer is a whip style vaporizer with some unique design elements. Many whip or box style vaporizers require the herb to be vaporized to approach the heating element from above at a downward angle. This makes it very easy to spill bits of plant matter out of the bowl. The Surfer’s simple solution to this problem is to design the heating element at a downward angle. The bowl moves up towards the heat source with no chance of spilling any herb unless you have been using the Surfer too much.
The Surfer offers more than practical design, it is also constructed of high quality components. The heating element is ceramic which is widely considered to produce the cleanest vapor. The heat control mechanism is a knob that is manually turned. Although their is no display or digital controls the Surfer is very easy to use. After firing it up and packing a bowl of your chosen herb it should be just a few minutes of adjusting until you find the right spot on the dial. After that you only have to return to that spot each time you are ready for a session. The design is a very sleek silver aluminum making it one of the more inconspicuous vaporizers.
Silver Surfer Vaporizers are solidly constructed. The manufacturer puts a 3 year warranty on them and most models last far beyond that. With regular maintenance and care these vaporizers are capable of working well for a very long time. The Silver Surfer is a good all around vaporizer for someone who is new to vaporization or anyone looking to step up from a cheaper model.

Marijuana has long been known to have effects on both appetite stimulation and nausea. Contemporary medical research has suggested that cannabis may have treatment potential for a variety of other conditions as well including Alzheimer’s, certain cancers, central nervous system conditions, and many others.
Because it has proven to help people deal with and even fight so many diseases cannabis has the potential to help an incredibly large amount of people.
To provide help and comfort to as many people as possible a medication’s delivery method and overall effect must be considered. Chemotherapy for example can help fight lethal cancers but at times can cause significant damage itself. Smoking is known to be a dangerous activity and place physical stress on smokers lungs and immune systems. This stress is too much for some weakened people to tolerate who would otherwise benefit significantly from cannabis treatment. The solution that many in the medical community suggest is vaporization. Vaporizers heat and activate only the desired therapeutic components of THC leaving the plant matter and most of the toxins intact.
There have been numerous studies, including one conducted at the prestigious University of California, San Francisco, that have compared the composition of the smoke that results from burned cannabis to the vapor that is a product of vaporization. The team in California, like many of the clinical trials, used a Volcano Vaporizer for their experiment and what they discovered was that the vapor contained significantly lower percentages of unhealthy compounds as compared to smoke. From a medical perspective this meant that patients had much more of the beneficial THC compounds active within their bloodstream after receiving a dosage than harmful components as measured by carbon monoxide levels.
It appears as if vaporizers may be the missing element needed for cannabis to be maximized as a medicine. When properly vaporized, medical cannabis delivers substantial benefits and advantages to patients including nausea suppression, relaxed muscles, and even prevention of acute diseases. Now that medical technology is able to provide safe delivery that causes little harm or stress its potential impact is only getting larger.

Many vaporizer users cite the health benefits as the main reason they prefer it over smoking. For medicinal marijuana patients, who may have weakened respiratory systems that are bothered by the toxins and impurities, the extremely clean and active vapor produced by vaporizers is especially appreciated. Not only is vapor cooler than smoke and cleaner it is also more efficient than combustion methods and can deliver equivalent doses with far less total plant matter. Used correctly vaporization significantly reduces the amounts of tar and many other dangerous compounds inhaled while maintaining or even increasing the delivery of therapeutic compounds. This aspect of vaporization is a great benefit for many people, particularly individuals who have trouble eating, swallowing, or digesting food.
Medicinal marijuana is quickly gaining acceptance for its therapeutic benefits both in the Unites States and around the world. Before cannabis was effectively outlawed in 1937 by the government it was one of the most widely used medicines. Now that research funding is again supporting exploration of marijuana and the active compounds in THC the number of its known medical uses is rapidly growing. Marijuana is one of the most effective known cures for nausea and is also a fantastic appetite stimulant. These two characteristics combine to make cannabis a perfect solution for patients who have diseases or even treatments that cause weight loss and suppress appetite. Patients who experience extreme nausea are sometimes prevented from taking pills to help relieve their symptoms because of the their inability to swallow anything. Cannabis however can be vaporized and inhaled and so can provide relief even for the most extreme sufferers of nausea.
Cannabis is one of the least toxic substances, in the thousands of years it has been in use there are no known records or accounts of lethal overdoses of THC. The most harmful aspect of THC ingestion is the inactive plant matter that is incidentally combusted along with the desired therapeutic compounds. Eating foods prepared with cannabis infused products is an alternative delivery method that avoids the lung danger of smoking but dosages can be difficult to determine because of the cooking process. Vaporizers are able to effectively deliver measured doses with minimal health risks and remove the last obstacles for the widespread use of medicinal cannabis.

A vaporizer is a device used to heat plant matter, usually cannabis, tobacco, or herbs, to a precise temperature at which the active compounds of the plant material are vaporized, or turned into a gas, to be inhaled.
Vaporization serves as an alternative to smoking which is the burning and inhalation of both plant matter and active compounds at very high temperatures. Vaporization is considered better than smoking by a number of people because it reduces and can virtually eliminate the inhalation of irritating or toxic by-products in smoke. Because they heat the plant matter to very specific temperatures vaporizers work by boiling or vaporizing only the active ingredients. No combustion or burning of plant matter occurs.
When plant matter is combusted most of the thick white smoke that results is from the plant matter itself. It is in this part of the plant that many of the harmful compounds are found. In the case of most herbs that are commonly smoked for medical or recreational purposes the active compounds become vapor and able to be ingested at temperatures far below the combustion point of the underlying material. By heating plant matter to the temperature needed to vaporize only the wanted compounds there is no need for combustion.
Most vaporizers work by heating plant matter and then passing the resulting vapor either through a tube to be inhaled immediately or into a bag to be consumed leisurely. Since there is normally very little smoke produced the smoker can enjoy cooler temperatures and a much smoother hit. Fans of vaporization cite several advantages including stronger effects from the active compounds and quicker onset as compared to delivery methods such as eating. As an additional benefit the detrimental effects of second hand smoke are significantly reduced.
Many people enjoy vaporizers and the unique smoking experience they can provide. If you have never tried using a vaporizer the newest vaporizer designs are incredibly easy to use. Many come with digital controls and readouts which allows for convenient and precise temperature control, the essential aspect of vaporizing.
