I have to say you should go find a friend or two who have a vaporizor and try them out. Try several types out and see if they will suit your needs. Speaking from personal experience I found the volcano to be about the only vaporizor out there that could keep up with my insesent need to medicate.:bong-hits: I have tried quite a few and found the whip style to be compleatly inadiquate for my needs. I was spending more time loading and unloading and hitting and reloading trying to get enough meds in me and in the end I still wanted to hit my bong. The heat gun style into a bag was ok but even with a heat controled gun and practice it was hard to get the temp right. Same with the portables. If your a light recreational user then maybe they world work well for you but speaking from personal experience I found myself using more meds to get the desired effect and spending more time to achieve it. The volcano style is bomb but having several friends with them I just go over to there house and get them to take them out of storage when I get the urge to use one. I find most of them to be novilties more then serious medical delivery systems but I have a high standard around such items. If I was going to plunk down the money I would either purchase a Volcano digital or a phantom which is a plastic version of the volcano which can be had for around half the cost of a volcano. I have used them both and although the phantom does not have the qualty finish or quality of the volcano for half the price it is one to seriously consider. If you have never vaporized your best bet is to try some somewhere, somehow, and try out several different styles. You may find that it will not suit your needs or you may find its the best thing since hot knifes and hash... Try before you buy I know I was not in a position to do that when I was where you are now. I would have saved a ton of money. Good luck on your quest and hopefully you can experience the sweet essience of correctly vaped herb with out spending 500 bucks. Peace
