Is Vaporizing better than Smoking?
I want to keep my lungs healthy without quitting, so I've been using a vaporizer for two years. It's better than smoking. Much better, actually. If I tried to go back to smoking now, I couldn't do it - the experience is too unpleasant.

We all want to save money and still enjoy our smoke of choice. Cigarettes are unfortunately an unhealthy and pricey habit. But is tobacco itself? It doesn't have to be.
With the right vaporizer, you are no doubt going to enjoy more active ingredient for less amount. Burning is an expensive process in itself, and vaporizing works by heating up the leaves to a point just prior to carbonization. This releases airborne essentials which you then gently inhale.
It's important to choose the right smoking blend when you make the transition to vaporization. To simply empty out your camel would be a bad choice in my opinion. Pick something you really enjoy both the taste and the effects of equally. I personally recommend organic or homegrown blends.

Iolite Vaporizer Review
Why vaporize?
The whole experience takes on another level of enjoyment. Tastes are more pungent and pure in a vaporizer.
Enter The Iolite:

The iolite is pocket sized with a discreet appearance. It runs on gas - high grade butane for up to 2 hours of use.
Once you turn it on, it runs itself. You simply wait for it to heat up (1 min) and then it'll go until about 45 minutes when you'll be done with its contents. Then you can either leave it alone or you fill it again.
Since the Iolite isn't "smoking", I enjoy its benefits quite readily in public. Off the record, indoors. It's portability AND stealthy qualities are priceless. No one can really tell what's going on - it looks like a walkie talkie. When I'm done, I can switch it off, put it away, and go about my business.
The Iolite also lets you vaporize green, fresh picked herbs, which is a completely unique experience of tobacco (or any plant) that few people have even imagined possible until now.
The effects are stronger. Vapor is more readily accepted into the bloodstream. Off of a small amount, you can feel substantial effects.

I like to inhale about 70% of my lung capacity with the "hit", hold it in a few seconds, fill the rest of my lungs by breathing with my nose. Then I exhale.

As far as vaporizers go, I've seen none better for the combination of quality design and portability. The company has been making catalytic combustion butane products for various industries since the early 1980's, and they have the technology down. (Google Dehorner II)
The design is excellent. The octagonal herb chamber on the end of the stem slides snugly into the round heating chamber. When you draw through the herb chamber external air flows between the herb chamber and the heating chamber, preheating the air before it hits the herb for less cooling of the herb as you draw. Both screens are easily removed with a sweet little brass tool that came with my unit, and clean with a little soaking and swishing in Isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol (I just pour a bit of alcohol into the bottle cap.) According to the web site, the plastic is a high-tech grade designed for use at high temperatures in the food industry.

As a high-tech product, you need to know how to use it.
1. Use a premium quality butane fuel, not the standard butane you can buy at Walgreens. Mine came with Vector, and I've had no problems. The GotVape website sells approved fuels. If you have problems starting, you are likely using an inferior fuel. Or your are living too high. (I mean, like above 7-8000 feet).
2. Keep it clean - carry it around in the zippered pouch it comes with, don't just stick it in your pocket.
3. Make sure your herb is dry. If your unit gunks up quickly, it is too moist and will also harsh your throat.
4. Iolite redesigned the stem. The original had plastic threads. Mine came with extra stems, and you can also buy replacement herb chamber / stem assemblies on their web site.
5. Know how vaporization works. When you heat vegetable material, the volatile organics evaporate, so you need to allow the herb to heat. This takes less than a minute after firing it up, when you hear combustion stop. It takes only a small draw to clear the chamber of vapor - more simply cools the chamber and stops vaporization. Allow the chamber and herb to re-heat between draws.
