Vaporgenie
The secret to the VaporGenie is the patent-pending flame filter. The flame filter is located above your herb (between the herb and flame). In the pictures, the flame filter is located within the spherical wood part. The flame filter mixes heat from the flame with cold, ambient air. The flame filter is specially designed to mix the flame and cool air and provide vaporization temperatures. The Vaporgenie is available in several colors.

- it is affordable, definitely value for the money.
- its very efficient once you know how to use it.
- learning how to make the best potential of it is not automatic, but any normally gifted human being can do it after a couple of tries.
- it looks cool, very nice design, but discrete, elegant and sober too. Wouldnt feel embarrassed if I forgot it on my desk at the office.
- its very solid, which is definitely my priority. I dropped mine several times on the floor, laid over it when I used it in bed and left it aside me afterwards etc... and it still looks like new.
- I think that you can keep it for ever if you use it properly and take care of it.
- for the same reason, you can carry it everywhere without too much care, in your pocket, handbag etc... and its size make it even more handy and mobile. You dont need a special protection bag or box to carry it.
- Only a lighter is needed, no other source of heat or electricity. You can use it in the bathtub (I lovit!!), in bed ( i love it too !), in the lake during summer time, outside, well anywhere where electricity is unavailable, or dangerous. Aside its solidity thats, according to me, the second major superiority of the VG (third is its price).
- Its not as dangerous as other flame-based vape systems, which get VERY hot after use. You can touch the wooden sphere with your bare hands (but not the metal ring!!!)
- you dont have to mess up with 10.000 screens, glass vials, plastic wips etc... 2 pieces, a screen and thats it.
- its very easy to clean : a pipe-cleaner, or if you really messed it, the vacuum-cleaner technique, but once again if used properly dont expect tu spend more than 5 minutes a month on cleaning your VG
- and, last but not least, you save LOTS of tobacco as ony very little is needed to achieve the effect (I would say that I use between 30/40% of what I did when smoking)
- lifetime warranty on the device."

Most vapes under 200 bucks are conduction based, meaning the heating element touches the herb. The vaporgenie allows you to suck hot air over your herb, and with a little practice you can vaporize your smoke in under a minute, no warm up time, just load the bullet, screw on the top and go, it's as easy as it is good. Obviously, MJ works a charm with this one, but now you can vape lots of other herbs that you'd normally need to smoke a lot of to get an effect, without sooting up your lungs. Hurrah!!! They should give a Nobel Prize to those cats at Vaporgenie.”

Once you get it down, though, you can get ripped on a fraction of the dope you'd normally only smoke to take the edge off things.
Here's my personal technique:
1. Use a small flame and ever so lightly drag on the Genie, just enough to get the flame drooping into the hole.
2. Place the tip of your tongue on your palate while doing this, as this allows you to gauge the temperature with the botom of your tongue, rather than the back of your throat.
3. When you feel warm vapor trinkling through wait a second or so, then cut the flame and hit that pipe hard as if you're letting rip on a bong. Hold that vopor in.
4. Exhale big fluffy clouds of vapor.
You need to get a feel for it, I guess.”

You just need to feel out how much heating needs to be done before you fully inhale. It helps to understand that after having been heated up to temperature, the ceramic filter for a few seconds actually heats the air you suck in, even after you've cut the torch. There is indeed a slight learning curve to the Vapor Genie, due to the fact that you are vaping "blindly," but weird as it sounds, it helps to visualize the process while doing it. You can totally make this vape your own. The quality of the vapor is very good and flavorsome if you do it right, and the high of vapor tends to be, for me anyway, a stronger, purer high, with less of the sluggishness I get from regular toking. This is probably due to the fact that different alkoloids in the herb are inhaled, as opposed to when it is burned. To make a long story short, it is not only THC which is the "active' substance in the herb, all natural drugs are compounds. Do yourself a favor and get this. Worth every cent.
Oh, and here's a neat thing I tried tonight. I filled the chamber with a pinch of white widow, vaped up as usual, but after holding the vapor in for a few seconds, exhaled into a sandwich bag, then inhaled that again before starting up another round. I am most definitely twice as high than normal now off one very modest bowl."
