The guys from mflb, magic flight launch box vaporizer, great tiny cheap vape btw… They did a study, and found vaping tobacco to be about 6x as potent as smoking it, makes vaping a great money saver.

I just want to know if I am going to get as high, and also if it is conventional as far as how much I will be using.

For those of you confused by boiling points when evaluating vaporisation temperatures, realize that “boiling point” is the temperate at which a substance can no long remain in it’s liquid state. This is not the same as vaporization.
Consider more common substances like water or gasoline. Heating water causes increasing vaporization that is readily observable as “steam”, even though the water has not reached its boiling point. And you certainly don’t have to heat your clothes to 212°F to get them dry.
Gasoline vaporizes so readily that it is flammable even at sub-zero temperatures. At common ambient temperatures it vaporizes sufficiently to pressurize the can its stored in.
The boiling point of Nicotine is so high that you will “char” your tobacco if you try to heat it that much. At slightly less than the boiling point of water, Nicotine’s vapor-pressure is high enough to be flammable (Research “flash point” to get a better understanding). The higher the temperature, the more energetic the vaporisation becomes, so sustaining high temperatures well below the boiling point, while maintaining a continuous airflow, could easily free much or all of a volatile compound from its substrate. Remember the clothes-dryer? Under the right conditions, it can blow “steam”.
Certainly, some Nicotine could remain in the ‘spent’ tobacco, but probably much less than you would have lost if you were burning it, and you didn’t have to suck in all that tar/smoke to get it.
As far as ‘other’ compounds go, those hardest to vaporise, that may or may not remain in the herb-of-choice, can still be obtained by ingestion. I hear it’s really nice that way.
So vape gently, or vape thoroughly, but enjoy your clean lungs.

While vaporizing tobacco as opposed to smoking it is an incredible leap towards good health, nicotine in and of itself can be quite bad for a person’s health. Increased blood clotting, heartburn, increased blood pressure, cilia paralyzation, not to mention it’s cholinergic activity which impedes apoptosis, one of the methods used by the body to destroy unwanted cells such as cancer.

Of course, there are potential positives associated with it’s use, which i will not dismiss: reduced anxiety, increased concentration, relaxation, etc. More than i know, never having used tobacco.

What i am getting at here is more or less in response to simon [post 28] and to a much lesser extent, clara [post 26]. Don’t think that vaporizing tobacco is harm-free. There are still definite risks associated with nicotine in general, although overall your risk is indeed lessened by a metric crap-ton. For a person who has never used tobacco at all to have it in their head that vaping tobacco is harmless, would be a very bad thing. They will STILL be addicted, and there is STILL a list of VERY serious potential side effects ranging from heart disease to cancer associated directly with the consumption of nicotine and nicotine alone.

Got a vapor genie the other day, I found it really easy to use straight away and have been higher in the last few days than I had been for years. I was smoking between 10 and 15 single skin joints a day , sometimes more, now smoking about 5 or 6 and vaping alot. Conserves your weed as well, I feel I could make my weed last at least twice as long now.

Only thing I wondered is whether inhaling butane exhaust a good idea. Still a lot better than smoke I am sure.

i just got my VG and it’s so hard to use! Im getting an AWFUL taste – it tastes like paint. I don’t have a good technique yet and I’m sure the taste is from burning the paint around the bowl— it’s hard to not let the flame touch the bottom of the bowl cuz you can’t even see where the flame is.. I’m trying to use it, I just wish it was easier. If i had to do it all over again, I’d add more money and get an electric vaporizer where I don’t have to worry about where the flame is and what it shouldn’t touch

After smoking cigarettes for almost 15 years I have made the switch to exclusively using the vaporizer. I use an iolite packed with American Spirit, one bowl lasts about 10 minutes. For me this has been more satisfying than smoking — the rush can be felt almost instantly, I use much less tobacco, no smoke or tar thanks to no combustion. As others have mentioned, additive-free/organic tobacco should be used to achieve the best results.

[...] mentioned in our VaporGenie review, the VaporBuddy is a knockoff of the Genie and was thought to be of questionable [...]

Nicotine boiling point is 247c, this would suggest that not much nicotine would be vaporized at the temperatures mentioned here. I’ve used an iolite for tobacco, the vapour is very harsh even through a water pipe connection. Iolite is only 190c max and the tobacco gets quite brown and dry. I’m not sure if I actually got any nicotine might just have been the placebo effect. Anyone tried anywhere near 240c?
