 herbalaire vaporizer
Product Review – The HerbaAire H2.1 Vaporizer http://www.herbalaire.com/ I was looking for a Vap two reasons. First the smell of burnt MJ lingers for days and stinks up the house. Secondly and perhaps more importantly….repiratory health! The studies by Normal and MAPS show clearly that vaporizing delivers THC as effectively as smoking, but eliminates or drastically reduces carcinogens and other toxins that result from combustion. Google - Cannabis Vaporizer Combines Efficient Delivery of THC with Effective Suppression of Pyrolytic Compounds if you want all the science supporting this. Next was selecting a Vap….The Volcano was an easy choice based on positive reviews…but the price was a bit out of my range. After lots of web searching it seemed that many people were equally satisfied with the HerbalAire ($250) so I ordered it at half the price of the Volcano ($500+) I was very pleasantly surprised when the product arrived. Packed with everything you might need (except MJ) and with plenty of support material directions. I was up and vaping in no time. Some things I really like about the unit- Small size easy to handle
- Very long cord easy to move around
- Very accurate temp control over a wide range – I like to vap at 375 F
- Auto shutdown…..great for the oblivious stoned person
- Balloon storage….works well.
One thing I may not like- The pump was kind of loud…I may go to the petshop and get something wisper quiet…the pump is also slow in filling the balloon…but I think that is a good thing.
My lungs feel much better…the house smells better…and I actually use ¼ to 2/3 as much MJ to get the same effects…actually similar effects…vaping seems a bit more cerebral and a bit less couch-locked…especially at temps lower than 365F. Note - Vaping doesn’t entirely eliminate lung and mucus membrane irritation (even pure THC as a vapor is a lung irritant) but it does DRASTICALLY reduce it. I am very pleased with the product and just wanted to pass that on to the helpful members at GP (i did end up getting a quiet pump for a few buck and now it is everything I wanted from a vap 12/19/08)
