Vaporstar

With the Vaporstar you can easily turn your glass bong into a high quality vaporizer. Vapour in three seconds, twelve hits from each bowl, and no need to plug in.

“This is a pretty good vaporizer. It's biggest plus is that you can get really thick tasty vapor hits INSTANTLY. No heat-up waiting or anything like that.

The main problem is the materials it's made from. The wooden bowl is ok if you only intend to vaporize a small amount (one bowl) but because the wood retains heat quite well, during longer sessions the bowl can very easily burn a bit which completely ruins the hit. Another issue is that, as opposed to similar products with glass bowls, you can't see how well the material has been vaporized without removing the top. Of course being wood and metal instead of glass does make it more durable so there are some benefits.

P.S. Use a torch lighter. Heat from a torch seems to spread much more evenly among the material than from a conventional lighter. Heat the "nipple" of the metal top at a 90 degree angle instead of directing the flame directly into it. Using a torch as opposed to an ordinary lighter also seems to lower the risk of combustion.”

“This is by far the best cheap vaporizer out there. Not everybody can afford a Volcano, and where as that is the best thing I've used, this can't be beaten on "value for money" purposes.

Through my bong it kills it, however it doesn't fit in every bong I have so there is a word of warning.

It's not hard to master, as the 1* rater said (1* is ridiculous, this thing is fantastic). In fact, it's very simple. The video at the bottom of the page shows how its done perfectly. Around 6 seconds of using your lighter and this thing fills up. Remember to keep inhaling so the whistle appears to get higher and higher pitched, and then finally remove your thumb off of the carburetor and get some air to push it into your lungs. Tastes great too!

Out of 10:

Price: 10
Features: 9
Ease of Use: 8

Pros:
Cheap, Portable, Effective, Preserves Product

Cons:
Have to use a lighter, Gets very hot, Doesn't fit in EVERY bong ”

“I just had to take a minute and send you a HUGE thanks.
Aside from the fact that I cant stop talking about it and sharing it with my friends, I had to write you and tell you that there clearly is NOTHING around that is fully portable, versitile and flat out PERFECT to use as the Vapor Star.
I have been using a Vaporizer for about a year now, and will never again burn anything. I love to go camping and desert duning with my bro's and having electricity for a vaporizer isnt always an option.

When I found the Vapor Star I thought it was too good to be true. It fills my needs in so many ways. First, with a Vaporizer, I was missing using a bong. Being a dedicated Bong user for 40 years I instantly switched to a Vaporizer without any wants or desires to use a bong, UNTIL the VAPOR STAR!

Now I get to hit the bong, and Vaporize. Dude... Can it get any
better? I think not! The Vapor Star is truly the BEST PORTABLE
VAPE IN THE WORLD!

Thanks bro, I sincerely hope my passing the word helps you earn every ounce of 'vapo-love' you deserve. Thanks for contributing such a great item to our culture.

“It takes very precise timing and practice to achieve proper hits, same amount of work involved to vape manually with a standard pipe.
Secondly, the wooden bowl on the vaporstar is a joke, the taste of the wood is very nasty [and no this wasnt from scorching], just seems that every hit has a taste of wood or whatever they have coated it with...
Thirdly, i noticed on closer inspection that there was an oil based residue thats started to burn/heat up of some kind on the metal piece of the vapor-star, as there was multi-coloured tint across the metal, which indicates there is some sort of deposit that is reacting to the temperature.
Overall, the vaporstar is a great idea, and I respect the manufacturers for taking the initiative to produce such a product, BUT unfortunately the pieces used to make it were very cheap , and the overall quality of the product is very low.
I'm hoping the model gets remade, possibly with parts of higher quailty and that are more suited to the function of the vaporizer. Having wood at any point of the equation is just ridiculous. All the parts should be made of non toxic heat proof parts.
Sitting here now, my lungs are feeling pretty rough from a fairly stressfull session with the vaporstar. I've probably inhaled some fairly toxic chemicals from possibly the metal, and most definitely the varnish type coating on the wooden bowl, which is very aggravating and a big let down, i quit smoking a few weeks back [health reasons] and am used to using a volcano in this time... and thus my lungs have become hypersensitive to what i am inhaling.
When i inhale from the volcano i get pure flavour and a hit that tickles your lungs and i get superbly high for a few hours from it, when i hit the vaporstar i can taste all sorts of crap and i only get a pretty small hit [nothing close that would get me noticeably high] Then i gotta repeat the process a few more times before i start to feel it. Then I'm just left sitting there high tripping out about what these horrible tastes in my mouth are : /
>>>>> A vaporizer is meant for health purposes, and there is certainly nothing healthy about smoking random factory fumes from a product.”
