Vaportech Vaporizer Review- Whip Based Vaporizer, Sturdy Design

The VaporTech is the first whip based vaporizer on the market. This vaporizer was awarded many Cannabis Cup Victories. Although this is not the most efficient vaporizer it was built at a time when vaporizers were limited. The heating element used is metal, which makes this vaporizer not a health aspect design.

The Vaportech Vaporizer

The Vaportech vaporizer is produced in Florida, by the Vapor Tech company, and has been a winner in the High Times awards many times.  It actually won the Cannabis Cup in 1998 and 1999 and, from that time until 2003, came a worthy second.  Since then, of course, the results of National Organization for Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) studies have been responsible for even more sophisticated devices entering the market. Devices like the Vapezilla and the Volcano.

There is still room, however, for a low to mid-range vaporizer, such as the Vaportech.  The base unit of the Vaportech is 4.5 inches in diameter at the very bottom and 3.5 inches in diameter at the top. The unit is 4.75 inches tall.

Essentially, it looks like a small white drum.  When you get the kit, it comes with a plastic hose, two glass tubes, two glass test tubes, a glass tube with stopper and a metal tube.  Sounds like you could furnish a laboratory, doesn’t it! 

The manufacturers do not supply detailed information about the materials used in the construction of the Vaportech, so I can’t specify if the glassware is borosilicate (Pyrex™) or not.  I can’t, for that matter, even tell you  what type of heating element is used.  This sort of information is very important for some people.  They want to know if aluminum is involved, or what material is used to insulate the heating element.  If this information is important to you this may be a major obstacle in choosing this particular vaporizer as far as you are concerned.

I can tell you that the metal tube that comes with your vapeing kit is aluminum, because that is mentioned in the instructions for use.  I actually find the instructions given quite complex but, at the time of writing, I do not have the Vaportech in front of me and that would, of course, help a great deal!

First, place the aforementioned aluminium tube into the heating chamber at the top of the unit and then turn the unit on to start the heating process, which takes approximately four to five minutes.

Whilst you are waiting for the unit to heat, you get everything else ready.  So, assemble the plastic hose and glass tube by inserting the tapered end of the glass tube (with the indent ring) into the end of the plastic hose.  (It would perhaps be a good idea to use the time-honoured trick of warming the end of the plastic hose in a cup of boiling water so that it is easier to insert the glass tube).

Loosely pack some of your herbal mixture into the non-tapered end of the glass tube, and then insert it into the, by now warmed, aluminium tube you inserted into the unit earlier.  Give it a couple of seconds and start drawing on the plastic tubing. 

The manufacturers of the Vaportech do offer an alternative method of use, but I find that even more complicated to follow, and will leave you with the basic method as described above.

The Vaportech is available in various voltage requirements, and extra hoses and tubes are available at very reasonable cost.  The complete system costs around $150, so it’s not wildly expensive and, if customer testimonials are anything to go by, once you’ve decoded the instructions, it is very easy and effective to use.
