Last time I tried a vaporizer was 15 years ago when a friend bought one of those godawful soldering iron/pickle jar contraptions. The thing just incinerated the herb, didn't give much effect, and left behind a sticky mess that smelled like burnt popcorn. Needless to say, I didn't become a "fan" that day.
I understand vaporizers have made huge strides since then, and I'd like to ask a few questions.
-Does vaporizing alter the nature of the effect of the medicine compared to smoking the same stuff? EG, does it change the proportion of "head high" to "body high" or anything like that?
-Is it true that you can get more medicine from the same amount of herb if you vaporize it, as opposed to burning it?
-Is the vapor noticeably more potent than smoke? Less potent?
-Is there a big functional difference between the "whip"/tube type vaporizers, and the bag/volcano type? Can someone tell me the advantages and disadvantages of each type? Which do you prefer and why?
-Does the vapor leave a tell-tale smell behind? Is it possible to make the vapor odorless, or mostly so? Does the spent medicine from the newer better vaporizers still have that "burnt popcorn" smell?
-Does vaporized herb retain any flavor?
-Anything else I should know about vaporizers?
Thanks in advance for any answers/discussion.
