Why the Vapir™ is Better
The VAPIR™ flavor and effect is much cleaner and purer than most other vaporizers, although it may be slower than other vaporizing methods. Once you master the proper use of your unit, learn the nuances of temperature control,and discover what types of herbs work best. You’ll find that other devices simply cannot compare with the VAPIR™ Digital Air.
Unlike other so called "vaporizers", which heat with a primitive soldering iron that touches your material, the VAPIR™ uses a process known as convection, whereby hot air moves through a bed of your herbs. This ensures that the heater will never come in contact with, and thereby taint, your material.
In addition, when set properly the VAPIR™ does not burn your material, therefore it creates no smoke or tar. This is evidenced by the appearance of the used material which retains the herb's fresh color, often a bright green, or a slightly golden hue. When you inhale the flavor slowly, for about 10 minutes, you'll be extremely satisfied with the results. Those who master the VAPIR™ unit wonder how they ever got by without it!
REMEMBER: The key to vaporization is heating your herbs only to the point where they release their active essence and flavor, and not to the point where they burn. With recommended usage, the VAPIR™ will do just that!
Detailed Tips:
· Always grind your material in a coffee grinder or herb grinder. Grinding will aerate your herbs and allow hot air to pass through them more evenly. · Always remove drive before pre-heating your VAPIR™. This will prevent waste of materials.
· Be patient, this is not an "open the box and go" process. Though it may require time to learn, when you master the vaporization procedure, you will never return to inferior methods.
· Eject the drive after each inhalation in order to get the maximum vapor from your herbs. Replace the drive when you are ready to inhale.
· A growing number of people, including medical doctors, successfully use the VAPIR™ Digital Air. Vapir now sells units to holistic and medical practitioners, retail shops, consumer distributors, and friends. The VAPIR™ is becoming favorably regarded and highly recommended.
· For flavor delivery, always use the included tube attachment.
· Always have two fresh disks waiting to replace the one which runs out
· Three drops of essential oils make a flavorful addition to your herb disk.
· Try experimenting with the temperature setting. Many users will first "cook" the materials a bit longer than necessary; this is a normal step in the learning process. Experienced users will often vaporize their herbs without any "over-cooking" or discoloration to the used material.
· Many enjoy vaporizing with dimmed lights a favorite CD. We suggest the vapormed DigitalSpa which is available through http://www.vapir.com/
· When inhaling, breathe as deeply as possible and hold in the flavor for as long as comfortable. Then repeat. If your materials are oily (full of active essence), you may begin to see vapor 5-7 minutes after you insert the chamber. If your materials are dry and less potent, however, you may not see any vapor at all. Remember, whether you see vapor or not, the flavor and effects are still present. Experimenting with temperature may increase visible vapors.
· Moist herbs work best for most users. Dryer herbs can be moistened with a drop or two of oil. The added moisture causes the herbs to vaporize more slowly and enhances the vaporization experience.
· If vapor is escaping through the vents (this is a normal function of the VAPIR™) this means you are not inhaling as the vapor continues to form. Inhale until no more vapor escapes, then eject the drawer. Insert the drawer when you are ready to inhale again.
· In the first days of the VAPIR™, many people experienced some difficulty using the Vapir™ simply because they weren't inhaling. The vapor initially appears so light that some users thought it was not yet active or ready to be inhaled. However, some consider initial vapors to be the most enjoyable of the vaporization session. These light, initial vapors are only possible with the VAPIR™ Digital Air and are not possible when smoking.
· When using your VAPIR™ for flavor delivery, be sure to keep your throat moist. Many enjoy hot tea with honey, throat spray, or hard candy.
· Some users enjoy the experience so much they find their usual 20-minute sessions stretching into an hour or two. Some describe a re-discovery of their long-favored herbs, and almost every experienced VAPIR™ user finds themselves wondering, "How did I ever smoke?"
In any plant with active ingredients, there are a number of different actives which will aerosolize at different temperatures. These various levels are known as "Spectrums” (see graph below).
The subtle process of the VAPIR™ allows for this full-spectrum of effects. It maintains a pre-combustion temperature over a prolonged session, therefore the vapor is able to reach different levels of potency. Smoking creates a large burst of active elements combined with toxins such as tar and carbon monoxide. Low grade "vaporizers", which quickly combust the material, have a similar effect. Only the VAPIR™ allows the user to slowly savor the active vapor and receive a full range benefits from the material.
