I LOVE these units and for $50 shipped I haven't seen anything else that I want.
1. Bong Vapeing is "FUN AS **LL"
2. Good looks
3. Portable
4. Effective? You bet - Fat Vapor City
5. One bowl does it - Two knocks you out.
6. Really pays for itself since it's only $50.
7. Low Smell.
8. Vapors in 6 Seconds
9. The bowl can mix and match with tons of differnt bongs.
The VaporStar is a total winner. I've used it now for 4 months and I can't find a single negative thing to say about it. Scorching is rare - the only times I do is because I can't accept the fact that there is no more left in the bowl, I just have to prove to myself there is one more micro hit. It has excellent control, I can always take it right to the brink of scorching - When I'm done bowls are beyond spent and rub in my fingers to a true powder, I credit that ability to the VaporStar heat exchanger. I'm learnig that a new bowl of herbs just may be a better way - but hey, I know you know what I mean. If I'm not "Vapeing on the Edge" I scorch 1 in 50 hits if I am I do it 1 in 15 hits. The VaporStar heating element uses 16 air inlet holes to disperse the heat evenly like a bunson burner on a gas stove the flame never reaches the herbs. It's a very effective design and the amount of time/heat appilied is all you worry about as it's virtully scortch proof in the first 6 hits of a bowl. Once the herb is dry it even lets you really extract the utmost last amount out of the herbs because you can apply instant longer/hotter heat to do that, at the bottom of a bowl I just double the time I have the flame heated into the the heat exchanger watch for vapors and that produces results in just 5 more seconds to really extrct any last vapors.
Final Conclusion - VaporStar's COST/FUN ratio is off the charts. It's the only way I smoke/vape and I like it so much I fully intend to buy me a substantal back up collection maybe 2-4 more, I'll be using these in 25 years.
Negatives: It's lighter based - This means NOTHING to me I could care less and won't push the finicky heath point that far. I like to - Hold my Bong - Flick my Bic - and Vape that Hit all on my couch like I've done with bongs my whole life.
