vaporizing tobacco is much, much healthier than smoking it. It is still just as addicting, but is great for people who want to be healthier but don’t want to quit smoking. I had a digi-vape that worked great, the temperature setting was a little off but after a few times its easy to find the temperature that produces the nicotine vapor without burning the plant.

I just bought a Vapour Genie. Its a product that advertises itself for Tabaco, though I have bought mine for pot. The reason I post is that I’m getting one for my Mother In-law. She has a chronic smoking habit that she’s desperate to quit, but cant - for various reasons. The Vapour Genie, I can assue you, is not usefless. Expensive for what it is Yes, but very good. I have been smoking bowls of pot for years and at 37 am getting worried about my lung health. So I have vowed to try a vapourizer or quit. Thankfully the vapourizer works! Let me stop some rumour;
1) Its really easy to use, so dont worry about that. If you have coordinated hands, you can use it.
2) It takes a few goes to use well. But then its easy. By the 3rd go you should have it licked.
3) There are fumes. I have tested them under the bathroom light in the mirror to see what I exhale. No scientific I know but interesting. 1st thing. You notice fumes as you exhale - but it is very misty and doesent settle under the light. It dissipates very easily. 2nd thing. It doesent smell much at all, if at all. I asked the wife to smell and she (who doesent smoke anything) couldnt smell anything. If I smoke a bowl in the house it FILLS the house with smoke. With this - nothing.
4) I’ve been proper stoned off it 3 times. The last time my best go with the VG. It definitley releases chemical compounds from the herb - no question. It seems efficient too.
Point being, if it works for weed than I’m certain it must work for Tobaco. I’m going to get some pipe tabaco to try it since the VG also leaves you with the taste of the herb in your mouth - it might be nice with tabaco!

I cannot say with 100% certainty that it is safe. I just dont know. I can say that at worst it produces a fraction of the fumes from a combustion process. Therefore: It must be a lot healthier for you.

Another good idea is to try vaping a clove cig. It is spicy and makes your lips tingle a bit.

Thanks for posting this about my method of tobacco vaporization. I have recently lowered the vape temerature to 340F. I have limited the amount of actual cigarettes to about a pack a week. If anyone has any experiences let me know. I feel like the only person in the world doing this!

Those pipe add on ‘vap’ things are useless..
They are selling a concept and a pice of hardware that may make it slightly easier..

Try vaping without it.. sue the same techneque that the ‘vapor genie’ has on a bowl of ‘tobacco’ since apparentally it takes a skill to get the lighter in the right spot..
All this argueing over the product is probably a distraction that they are both useless and the only usefulness if the guides in where to told your lighter.

Good point, 90% less smoke is still smoke and doesn’t mean it’s healthy. I didn’t mean to imply that, edited the paragraph.

I’d be carefull of saying heatbar reduces smoke by 90%.. thats secondary smoke, I believe the user recieves no benefit
