Vapor Genie: thumbs up or thumbs down

[endlessness]

having just had 2 awesome breakthroughs, one has to say: Thumbs up for the genie!

The trick is to take sloooooooooooooooow, looooooooooooooong, deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep hits! Go easy on the fire, control according to how much you can take.. if you feel you are almost coughing, back the lighter off a bit, go even slower, etc, so that you can take a full in-breath with all your lungs while puffing from the genie through all the inhaling..

And hold it in for as long as possible.. Then go again, and even again if physically possible

i have had several VGs in my life...right now i have two (i gave my hand-carved teak one to Uncle Knucles) ... one of my two is the new GLASS VG...

it is the last spice device i will ever need. it is so awesome there are no words...it hits amazingly smooth and with a small bed of leaf it is absolutely perfect for vaping spice. i simply cannot recommend the glass VG high enough!

endlessness' rules on how to hit a VG still apply....but the hit of the glass one is so much smoother and more beautiful.....can you tell i'm in love?

LOVE AND GRATITUDE!!

can you tell i'm in love?

Yes, I can.

Can't wait to have mine loaded up with spice, sitting on a massive boulder in the forest. Or anywhere really, lol.

sounds awesome ant!!! Im definitely curious about it! two issues for me though, is money, and also Im pretty sure I would break it way too soon, clumsy as I am

but if some money came up I will check it out and just be extra careful, you def made me curious

The glass one looks great, but SWIM really wishes they would make bubbler pipes.

ive tried the vaporstar and couldnt ever really get the hang of it...still a cool idea...maybe one day ill try getting it to work again

That's interesting. Makes me think, that the vaporgenie might be worth a look for swim!!

 

[obliguhl]

Does anyone of you have pointers regarding flame usage with the Vaporgenie? How long should my friend put the flame over thew heating element?

 

[endlessness]

here's how it works for me

As I inhale very slowly, I put the flame next to the genie 'bowl', in a way that the flame must be being slightly sucked in but not dissapearing inside.. I also try to make circular movements so the flame heats the ceramic element/bowl from all sides.

One has to notice that the faster one pulls, the colder the pull is, while slow pull makes it hotter.. You feel in the back of the throat the temperature/consistency of the puff.. So what I do to make it very effective is to stay as close to my limit, where its 'tickling' on the back of the throat and I know some denser thing is coming to my lungs but I know I can still continue without coughing... So its a consistent long puff, trying to get all lung full of it..

And the usual advice of holding in each puff in the lungs as long as possible is still valid

 

[obliguhl]

Do you keep the flame on the bowl all the time?

 

[endlessness]

yep, throughout the whole hit basically the lighter is on, always controlling with the intake of air and with the distance of the flame to get ideal vapour volume

 

[obliguhl]

That's curious. I always thought that this would certainly burn the spice. Thanks for your advice

 

[Jorkest]

perfectly explained!!

 

[Jorkest]

and you cant really burn the spice with the VG...because it will just vaporize in the excess heat...but there is no FLAME...so all that will happen is that you will get a really HOT lungful of dmt...so...keep it as cool as you can..so that you can take amassive rip...but also hot enough to really vaporize it

 

[universecannon]

Awesome great advice guys thanks!

..got me all excited now haha mine should be arriving today

Takes a little getting used to..it took a while to heat up but it worked great after a few tries.I dipped the flame just barely in and it took over 30 seconds to get it heated up. I decided it wasn’t in far enough so i put the flame in more, not touching the filter, and that combined with the chamber having been heated up caused the weed to vaporize a lot quicker. You can really seem to gage the type of hit your getting in the back of the throat like you said endlessness.

The smoke is just like any other vapo I’ve used.. same vapory taste/smell and the vapor dissipates quickly..it didn’t set off the fire alarm in the room :twisted: . The bic lighter I used got very hot on the metal roller when I went to light it again, but a torch lighter will fix this. Besides that it worked great! Can't wait to get home n try it with spice in a few days.:d

Funny: You and my friend from peru got the genie at the same day

His report:

Pro:

-Easy to vaporize
-Very consistent vaporisation
-Very portable

Cons:

-Vapor can get really hot!!

The best thing is really the size of the thing. You can just lie in a dark room with your Vaporgenie, ready to vaporize till you have to drop the pipe. That's a BIG advantage.

He likes it very much. Too bad he can't inhale enough to breakthrough. He plans to try it with shrooms soon.

 

[universecannon]

Yeah its ideal in that respect, you can just drop it and it wont spill

Maybe you should try preheating the genie a little if your having trouble inhaling what you need? Not sure if this really works or would help at all, for me it just seemed to vape much quicker after it had been heated up some.

 

[obliguhl]

He can't tolerate the vapor. That's the problem.

 

[Jorkest]

its getting too hot then...

 

[obliguhl]

Yep, maybe a cold bong hit first would be a good idea...
