Jungle Fever: Smoking Paraphernalia & Legal Highs

Whether it is used to smoke tobacco or a legal herb of some sort, the distinguishing property of a vaporizer is that it uses electricity to make the smoke more pure and less harsh. The IOLITE vaporizer is quite a popular one in the UK, and is essentially available in one model with a variety of colour options.

IOLITE vaporizers have a distinct black mesh look, with a complementary colour near the handle. The colour options available for this vaporizer include red, green, yellow, orange and purple. Besides the colour, the vaporizers are all the same model, and look the same. Of course, the cost for any one of the colours is the same.

Every IOLITE vaporizer that can be purchased is small enough to fit into a pocket. If by some chance the machine malfunctions, replacement parts can be purchased from the company website. There are also various accessories to the vaporizer available, including screens – both mesh and fine mesh screens are available.

The Volcano Vaporizer is one of the biggest selling brands of vaporizer, allowing those giving up smoking to heat herbs and flowers up to the exact correct temperature, releasing vapour rather than smoke for a healthier alternative to smoking.  To use it, switch it on and leave to heat for three to five minutes.  Insert your legal high into the chamber. Popular herbs for vaporisers include damiana, baybean and marshmallow leaves.

It is now time to insert the special Volcano Vaporizer bags.  Once the bag has filled with smoke, remove the bag, valve and mouthpiece for the Volcano Vaporizer solid valve, or just the bag and mouthpiece for the Volcano Vaporizer easy valve.  Inhale through the mouthpiece. 

The Volcano Vaporizer, from Storz and Bickel, is widely recognised as being one of the most efficient vaporizers on the market.  Whilst it is expensive compared to other vaporizers, its popularity testifies to the fact that it really works.  Tens of thousands of users cannot be wrong.

The Volcano Digit

The latest addition to the Volcano Vaporizer family is the Volcano Digit.  It differs from the classic design in that it includes a large LED display showing the set temperature and the actual temperature, in either Fahrenheit or Celsius.

Iolite is the company that first started the portable vaporizer revolution back in 2008. Made by the Irish company Oglesby and Butler, founded in 1984, it was the world’s first portable cordless vaporizer.  The Iolite is not designed for essential oils or concentrates, so you should only use an herbal smoking blend or a party powder like Snow Berry.

To use the Iolite, simply pack the herbs into the chamber and turn it on.  The Iolite will heat up the herbs to the desired temperature in a matter of just minutes.  Then, simply inhale the vapours through the straw, and turn it off when you have finished. 

The Iolite comes in a range of eight different colours.  It is about the size of a mobile phone and can be used almost anywhere.  It is odourless and smokeless, so will not violate the terms of the UK-wide smoking ban.  It is ergonomically designed and has quickly become a market leader in vaporizers. 

More recently, the Iolite was joined by the Wispr, created by two acclaimed San Francisco design firms.  This second-generation vaporizer has a very striking design, and comes in six different colours.

The Vape-2O Vaporizer is a vaporizer that uses interchangeable glass vials to heat essential oils and concentrates for vaporization.  It can use smoking herbs as well, but it works better with viscous liquids than with powders or ground herbs.  It is a highly portable vaporizer that is designed to attach to a water pipe such as a hookah or bong.  Users are warned that the glass vials can get extremely hot, so be careful not to touch them.

Essential Oils for the Eclipse Vape-2O Vaporizer

Essential oils are mostly used in aromatherapy, but a few are known to act as legal highs.  Clove oil is recommended as a mild psychedelic drug, especially when used in conjunction with elemi oil.  Be warned, however, it is toxic in large doses, so be sure to only use a few drops.

The essential oil of nutmeg is reported to have similar effects to ecstasy, but it can cause nausea, and so can be difficult to take in large enough doses to produce the desired effect. 

Finally, it is worth noting that the synthetic cannabinoid known as ‘spice’, made from herbs and essential oils, was once sold as a legal high in Britain, but is now a class B drug.

As a leading brand within the vaporizer industry, the popularity of the Volcano is testament to its superb design quality and also to the appreciation of those seeking the best experience of legal highs.

Volcano vaporizer models use an operating system that employs one of two valves, the volcano vaporizer solid valve or the volcano vaporizer easy valve.  There are also two options for the type of vaporizer: the Volcano Classic or the Volcano Digital.  All in all, as both valves fit both types of hot air apparatus, the interchangeable nature of the system as a whole means there is an option to choose between four different collections of vaporizer equipment, depending upon personal preference.

It is well worth taking time to explore the similarities and differences between these four options before making a final decision.  These tend to be related to appearance, rather than performance, and to personal preference.

Classic or Digital?

The Classic is operated via a rotary dial, such as might be found on an analogue watch or clock, and a knob, similar to that on a wireless radio, which gives it a much more traditional appearance.  Enthusiasts of the Classic approve of the old-fashioned features and believe this gives the vaporizer more character.  They also advocate its effective temperature control.

Fans of the Digital, on the other hand, will make much of the more stylish, contemporary precision version of temperature control, with an LED screen as an indicator.  Both Classic and Digital models are praised by users for the quality of their design and construction.

Efficient and easy to use, vaporizers can be used for achieving legal highs from herbs, oils and other concentrated substances. A range of these is available and some types offer a better quality inhalation, depending on for what kinds of materials they have been principally designed, and how they operate.

The Eclipse Vape-2O Vaporizer

For example, this vaporizer was principally designed for vaporizing concentrates and oils, and the glass vials should be kept clean, especially if a variety of materials are being used at different times. Regular maintenance pays off and will keep all parts of the equipment in good condition in the longer term.

The Science

Capable of being used with or without water tools, the main body is made of aluminium that has been coated with a protective oxide layer by an electrolytic process: thus the metal forms an anode. Chambers for herbs take the form of glass vials, and a series of differently sized fittings allow the vaporizer to be used with a range of water tools, or none at all if this is preferred. As glass is also used as the material for the heating element, these are interchangeable to prevent contamination when using oils and concentrates.

Operation and Use

It is important when using the small, typically cylindrical, glass containers that they can be screwed into position and unscrewed again easily, without risk of breakage. Secure connections are also important to ensure there is no leakage or contamination.

There is an extra glass vial included in the package, as well as a sturdy carrying case to hold all the equipment.

There are two models of Volcano Vaporizers: the Classic and the Digital. Enthusiasts of each one have their preferences; however both models undoubtedly perform vaporization for substances, such as aromatic herbs, in an efficient and effective way. This is a great bonus for, and attraction to, users of legal highs and smokers’ products.

Valve Options

No matter which model is preferred, there are two choices of valves that can be used in each case. The volcano vaporizer easy valve, as the name suggests, is a low-maintenance option which is provided with an attached balloon of a standard size. The solid valve is a reusable one, so that new balloons can be attached, according to taste. It requires cleaning occasionally. Otherwise, both valves are essentially the same.

Volcanic Vaporizer Easy Valve

This is the perfect option for those who would prefer not to have to undertake regular maintenance, such as attaching new balloons or cleaning the mouthpiece and the valve. A disposable option, once the valve is redundant it can be easily replaced and the only maintenance necessary is cleaning the filling chamber before it is used again.

Volcanic Vaporizer Solid Valve

Made of stainless steel, this valve is sturdy equipment and includes plastic material that is heat-resistant. The size of the balloon is according to the user’s preference, and any additional balloon material needed is relatively inexpensive. The solid valve does require some upkeep; however this is occasional rather than regular. From the outset, this is more productive in relation to its cost, but it will need some time and trouble on the part of the user.

It is well known that smoking is extremely bad for your lungs, whether it is tobacco or other legal highs. One of the reasons for this is that smoking generally involves the substance being burnt and you inhale the smoke, leading to you breathing in carcinogens and other nasty toxins.

With vaporisers, however, the substance is not being burned, but heated and therefore you avoid breathing in many of the damaging; overall, it is perceived as being a healthier way to smoke. There are various vaporisers on the market, but the Iolite is ahead of its time and is available in the form of an extremely convenient hand held device.

This vaporiser runs on lighter fluid and heats up to the desired temperature within 45 seconds, making it quick, easy to use and very portable. The internal chamber holds 500g of your favourite legal high and will continue to vaporise the herbs for approximately 15 minutes.

The device is sold in an array of colours and has its own carrying case, so you can take it anywhere discreetly. It also has its own accessory package, which includes cleaning materials, spare herb containers and spare mouthpieces.

The Iolite vaporiser is available to buy on many websites and is fast becoming one of the most popular products of its kind. It does not come cheap, but in comparison with its competitors it is still good value and worth every penny.

The Eclipse Vape-2O Vaporizer, which, for the purpose of this article we will call the Eclipse, is a handheld portable device that can be fitted to a bong as the vaporising component. It is the second product in the vaporiser line from the makers, Essential Vaaapp.

The product is very popular, due to its robust, portable and easy to use design, which makes the perfect accessory when getting your legal high. The glass vial attached the main part of the Eclipse allows the user to easily vaporise their chosen substance or oil, while the large centre allows the vapour to cool down to a usable temperature.

How to Use the Eclipser Vape-2O Vaporizer

•    Choose the legal herbal substance that you intend using and take a small amount to put into the glass vial on the Eclipse. Unscrew the vial, which should come away quite easily and place the herb into it. Replace the vial and screw it tightly back on.

•    Take the lighter from the starter pack or any lighter that you have and hold the flame just below the vial where the herb is positioned, so that it is not actually touching the glass, but is close. This is the optimum way to vaporise your herb. Once you notice it is starting to smoke, gently suck from the mouthpiece to pull the vapours through the device.

•    Once you have started to inhale the smoke keep a look out for a burnt taste, as this will alert you that it is time to change the herb. Repeat steps one to three as often as required.

The Volcano Vaporizer is a device that releases a plant material’s natural fragrances and active ingredients, using hot air.  The material is vaporized by a stream of hot air, which is regulated at a certain temperature so that the flavours and elements are released and can be inhaled by the user.

Vaporizing is a healthier option for anyone who enjoys the effects of tobacco and other plant materials.  Smoking or the use of incense, also releases fragrances and active ingredients of plants, but their release involves carbonisation and combustion of the plant material.  This process causes unpleasant smells, irritation of the throat and lungs and toxic by-products.  The high temperatures involved also wastes much of the plant material unnecessarily.

The gentle vaporizing of plant materials by the Volcano vaporizer means that you enjoy a safer and more economical experience, so gentle, in fact, is the vaporizing process that not all the plant material is used in one session.  This means that you can re-use the mixture several times before you need to re-fill the chamber.  Once all the mixture and aroma have disappeared you simply empty and refill the device with your favourite blend.

The Volcano vaporizer is regarded as one of the safest and most technologically advanced models of its type currently on the market.  Its accurate temperature control has earned the product a great reputation.  Its shape and use of high quality materials ensure that it is entirely safe and extremely efficient.
