Hey gowpen,happy to hear from someone..yes the gvg is perfect for vaping spice..the older members on this site are spot on right..I had tried everything:dry bong,made the machine even tried creating my own pipes.the gvg produces the smoothest vapor possible..I highly recommend the small thin disc of copper choreboy per Gibran 2(look for his post on the gvg)everything he has said is exactly right!!!!                     The way I load it is I take a two inch long piece of drinking straw scoop out your dose into the end of straw turn the gvg sideways,stick the straw all the way down onto choreboy turning pipe back up right and dropping it right in the middle of choreboy...then you can either apply a distant flame to melt it or just put top on gvg and it will melt and vape very quickly...    Congratulations on your purchase with the choreboy in there it is perfect, vapor is smooth as it could ever possibly be...I don't think you will be disappointed!!!    When I first got it I started with the disc of choreboy and one screen(the one that came with it)..I see no reason for herbs in the gvg..it's just to perfect with the right amount of choreboy in it..I can't recommend this set up enough!!also I have always used a torch lighter..           And a very warm handshake back to you     Trypin
