Jungle Fever: Smoking Paraphernalia & Legal Highs

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.

Volcano vaporizers are a simple to use, non-toxic way to inhale fumes from herbs and plants.  Users can enjoy their potent effects without being exposed to the harmful health risks associated with smoking.  The devices work by vaporizing and filtering out over 99% of toxins within plants while leaving in the aromas and flavours, allowing users to inhale a purer product.

To use the device, materials heat up to a specific temperature and then key ingredients within the plant are evaporated into the air and inhaled through the attached volcano vaporizer bag.  The collected vapour can last for a few hours, but is best inhaled fresh.  The device comes equipped with digital controls to ensure that herbs are vaporized at the proper temperature.

According to the testimonials of some users, volcano vaporizers produce an equally potent, yet subdued type of high, which allows the user to notice sensitive differences between plants.  The carbonation caused by combustion of the plant material creates unavoidable by-products that damage the lungs.  Vaporization, by contrast, does not create the carbon that irritates the lungs, since the plant is not incinerated.  Vaporization is regarded as more potent yet safer for the user.

The volcano vaporizer releases all of the active ingredients in various types of herbs, liquids and oils, and releases flavouring ingredients before combustion, thus eliminating the sickening toxic smell associated with incineration.  A market leader in the vaporization industry, this device is an excellent investment for smokers concerned with the toxic effects of combustion.

In the select world of vaporizers, the mighty Volcano Vaporizer is lord of all it surveys – a piece of fine engineering that is used not just by those who like a legal high with knobs on but also by professionals in aromatherapy, where its fine adjustments are used to deliver carefully graded amounts of vapour to patients.

The Volcano Vaporizer solid valve model has a heater in the base unit and the heat is controlled through a series of sensitive adjustments that affect air flow and temperature.  Various combinations of plant products are inserted into the unit and heated in a precisely controlled manner to extract the beneficial vapours as they almost, but not quite, ignite.  This is one of the prime reasons why vaporizers are widely considered superior to bongs for purposes of delivering a legal high, as no smoke is inhaled by the user.

There is a Volcano Vaporizer easy valve model with less complex adjustments than those used by aroma therapists, and this is more popular with the average user who wants an instrument more sophisticated than the basic portable model but not too unwieldy for regular use.

With Volcano Vaporizers of all models, the vapour given off by the herbs is collected in Volcano Vaporizer bags which have their own sets of valves for further control of the final delivery.  The bags are heat proof and can be easily detached from the unit once all the vapour has been collected, and then the user simply opens the valves to inhale the beneficial plant products.
