Got our Herb*Iron today

**Secret Jardin** · 01-07-2010, 07:29 PM

Was shipped on Tuesday from Cali, arrived Thursday in NY.
I purchased this for my husband who without going into to much detail has had some operations done on his hands and is not really able to use a lighter when he medicates without help. The Herb*Iron is fantastic! He is able to medicate using just his Thumb and index finger with no undue stress or fatigue on his hand, I would recommend this product to anyone! Not only those with special needs but to those looking for a cheap alternative to Vaping.

Also the customer service this company offers is top notch. The owner personally answered all my emails quickly and went above and beyond to make sure that we where satisfied with their product.

I am in no way affiliated with this company, nor am I receiving any compensation for this review, I just wanted to share a cool new product with everyone at RIU.

Kind of interesting, but their website still needs to be finished.

Would a click lighter, the "electric light" ones that you jsut click down instead of have to flick, not be just as easy? Pressing a button while holding that thing would seem to require as much effort as clicking one of those lighters. I couldn't access much information on their website though, so maybe I'm missing something.

Nope you would be surprised at the amount of pressure it takes to press down the button on one of the electric lighters and and this thing you just have to touch to turn on. Trust me we have tried everything, and all I am saying is this is by far the best alternative for him to use. But to each their own.

Thanks for the reply.

Plug it in and place your finger over the button. Hold it over your meds and inhale.

Cool. I guess I didn't realize how easy it was to power that thing on. I've seen those click lighters be easy and hard, but if it works better for your husband then it's awesome.

Another question: When it burns the buds does it have the same effect as a lighter or is it more like a vape in that it doesn't really burn it to ashes?

How much is it?

You can use it either way if you hold it directly on your meds it will burn it just like a lighter, or you can kind of hover it over them for a vaping effect.
