Bongs and Vaporizers

The act of inhaling the smoke from burnt plant material goes back thousands of years and seems to have been around since the very earliest times.  Like most other inventions it was probably discovered accidentally and soon became standard practice, and today’s pipe smoker is the inheritor of a tradition almost as old as walking upright.

To primitive man, as also to the remote tribes of today, the necessary materials were all around them in the form of natural tubes such as bamboo and other plants for the equipment, herbs for the ingredients and flint-generated fire for the fuel.  Fortunately, with the exponential growth of the internet, indulging in a legal high is easy even for those of us who have lost the knowledge of how to hollow out a cane or create a fire.

Bongs are available in a variety of materials, from acrylic and aluminium to glass and wood, although glass is preferable for an uncontaminated smoke.  The herbal mixture is simply heated until smoke is given off and then water is used to filter the smoke and remove toxins before it is sucked up.  The mild hallucinogens in the smoke are also partially filtered out as well, so bongs are not ideal for a strong hit, and are more comparable to a few pints down at the local pub.

Vaporizers deliver a harder punch as they don’t actually ignite the herbs but only heat them up, and the vapour contains no harmful elements, which is why this equipment is used in aromatherapy.

The Vapo2 Pocket Vaporizer is an affordable and portable vaporizer, meaning that you can enjoy a smoke wherever you are.  It can easily fit into a handbag or a pocket, so you will hardly even notice you are carrying it around.  And although it is compact, it is effective.  It will still pack a punch when you use it.  It is a robust little device and can easily be lit with an everyday lighter.

When lit it releases the vapour of the herbs and oils of the herbal mixture preventing the CO, CO2 and NH3 from reaching you.  You get your high from purely herbal ingredients, and there are no chemicals to give you that horrible feeling the next day.

Iolite Vaporizer

The Iolite Vaporizer hails from Ireland and is another pocket-perfect beauty.  It runs on butane gas and can run for about two hours before it needs to be re-filled.  It can warm up 500mg of herbal mixture in 45 seconds, giving you a 15-minute vaporization experience.  It is tough and durable and comes in range of colours.

Vaporizers – a great way to experience your herbal highs

A vaporizer is an item used to extract ingredients from various kinds of plant material, including tobacco and other herbs that can be used to create legal highs. Vaporizers help the active ingredients in the herbs to heat up to such an extent that they come off as vapour, which can then be either directly inhaled via a hose or pipe, or collected in some kind of container, such as a jar.

They require less plant substance to achieve the same result as smoking, and the vaporizer produces little to no smoke. This eliminates the dangers of secondhand smoking (should the substance be tobacco) while even cutting down on and often removing the elements that cause harmful effects to the user. Vaporizers are not only used by those wishing to get high; they have been known to be used by chefs who use them to release flavours from various herbs and spices that would otherwise remain hidden. 

Vaporizers come in many different forms. In addition to the ‘normal’ vaporizer, there are also handheld vaporizers, which are very compact and easy to use, and in many cases do not even require electricity or batteries to work. They are also relatively cheap vaporizers, particularly compared to the more modern digital vaporizer.

Another popular form of vaporizer is known as the volcano vaporizer. This was designed by a German company and actually won the 2003 Dr. Rudolf Eberle Prize for outstanding technical design and innovation. It is believed to be the single best vaporizer available today. 

Vaporizers are generally regarded as a much healthier way of inhaling than bongs and most other methods, because it reduces the carcinogenic effect to almost nothing, while maintaining the desired effect.
