What's A Vaporizer?
Vaporizers are awesome, man. A vaporizer is a device that allows you to literally vaporize marijuana rather than smoke it. We’re talking some sci-fi shit here, dude. And today’s vaporizers are so high-tech they’re a lot like something most stoners could only dream of seeing on an episode of Star Trek. Dude, in fact we reviewed this one vaporizer, the ExGo that looks just like that thing Dr. Bones would use to inject drugs into half-dead people on board the Starship Enterprise.
You see, when it comes to smoking weed, man, most of the respiratory hazards come from the toxic byproducts of combustion—not from the weed itself. So like vaporization actually offers all the amazing advantages of inhaling THC—you know things like rapid onset via direct delivery to the bloodstream—without the drawbacks of combustion. In fact vaporization is up to 95 percentcarcinogen free. And because people can take multiple hits they can easily increase their dosage as needed, unlike eating a pot brownie or some other edible where it takes about an hour before you feel the effects…effects that could come on like a freight train or not at all. You can even get MORE STONED and quicker using a vaporizer than say smoking a doob. According to a studyconducted by the peeps at California NORML and MAPS, vaporizers can convert 46 percent of available THC into vapor. The average joint? We’re talkin’ less than 25 percent of THC, dude. Sucks, right? We’re not rocket surgeons or anything, but that big ol’ discrepancy probably has something to do with the fact that a marijuana plant combusts at 392 degrees. And a joint? Joints can reach temperatures in excess of 2,ooo degrees. But vaporizers, dude, vaporizers are made to hit that sweet spot of around 338 degrees—just slightly above the 285 degrees necessary for cannabinoids to vaporize. And, dude, vaporizers are hella stealthy, man. Modern vaporizers like the Power Pen and the SkyCloud are so small and easy-to-use you can fill ‘em with both marijuana flowers or concentrates. Concentrates in a vape pen, rule. They’re smell-proof, way potent and make it easy to get stoned in places like the movie theater, the grocery store, the hockey game even the workplace bathroom. You name it, dude. Shit, man, vaporizers are so stealth and so convenient they’re becoming hugely popular—even with the soccer mom type. Dude, did you hear that Whoopi Goldberg is using a vaporizer nowadays? Yep, she calls it her, Sippy. “I named her Sippy because I take tiny, little sips — sassy sips, even. And with each sip comes relief — from pressure, pain, stress, discomfort,” she writes in her new Cannabist column. Who else uses vape pens? Oh this dude we know, a marijuana patient who has been getting weed from the federal government for the past 30 years and has smoked more than 130,000 joints. His name’s Irving Rosenfeld and he perfers the vape pen. It helps him in stay medicated during his hectic workday. He tells us that his girlfriend turns his government-grown weed into BHO. What’s BHO? Dude, read this. Aside from Whoopi and soccer mom’s, cool people are using vaporizers too, man. Of course they’re not making headlines, using ‘em and shit. But they’re using ‘em nevertheless. They’re busy getting hella high in environments that aren’t usually conducive to getting hella high. And that’s the beauty of vaporizers, man—they’re Stuff Stoners Like because they’re healthy, stealthy and hella effective. |
