Smoking marijuana has been proven to be much safer than cigarettes, but smoking of any kind is still going to have a negative effect on your lungs. Just try running around the block after a fat bong rip. The solution to this problem is the marijuana vaporizer. A vaporizer works by gently heating up the weed rather than burning it. When marijuana is burned there is a lot of waste and toxins that come from burning the buds. A vaporizer heats it just enough to release the thc in the form of a completely safe vapor. There are dozens of different styles and variations of the weed vaporizer that range in price from cheap to very expensive. 

The best vaporizer of all time is the Volcano. This is the latest in vaporizer technology and it provides the biggest hits for your money. The volcano uses convectional heating to warm the marijuana to the perfect temperature. This means that hot air is passed over the herb to heat it rather than a direct heating element. The traditional vaporizer that has been used since the 1970's used a metal plate to heat the marijuana. This direct heating can create the same problems associated with burning the marijuana with a flame. The volcano uses air to release all of the active chemicals in the weed and leave the waste behind. A digital readout on the front of the device indicates the exact temperature, so you can get perfect vapor every time. Another great feature of the Volcano is that it uses a stored vapor delivery method. A large bag is used to collect and store the vapor until you are ready to smoke it. Then you just detach the bag and take whatever size hit you desire. Depending on the bowl size you can easily get 15 to 20 hits off of a single bag. The only downside to this marijuana vaporizer is the price. The Volcano can retail for as much as $800 dollars. But for one of the purest and most powerful ways to smoke weed it is worth every penny.

On the other end of the price spectrum is another amazing example of weed technology, the portable vaporizer. The Iolite Portable Vaporizer is the James Bond of vaporizers. It is a 4 inch tall device that resembles a cell phone or walkie talkie. The vaporizer runs completely off of butane gas so you don't have to worry about replacing batteries. It has a covert spot to place the weed in and an adjustable mouth piece. Then all you have to do is press the ignite button and it will be ready in less than a minute. This weed vaporizer uses a direct delivery method, meaning you will pull the smoke directly from the herb to your lungs. So you can control the size of your hit much like a pipe or joint. This is one of the most covert ways to use marijuana ever invented. Purchase an Iolite Portable vaporizer
