Vapureyes Vaporizer

This cleverly named, British made, vaporizer probably comes under the heading of cheap and cheerful, except it’s not exactly cheap.  However, we’ve already discussed my penchant for all things expensive…

So, what exactly will you get for the almost $200 dollars this vaporizer will set you back?  Well, you get a hardwood base unit, which conceals the electricity supply to a small halogen heating element. Atop the whole thing is a glass jar, known as the vapor chamber.  There is a small hole in the wooden base that takes the glass whip that, in turn, fits into the plastic tubing.  A very, very simple device indeed. 

The heating element is nickel-plated copper, and other metallic parts are 316L stainless steel.  Temperature adjustment is obtained by simply unscrewing and raising the heating element a tad.  The whole thing is not large, approximately the size of a fizzy drink can.  A UK power supply (12v) is supplied as standard, but you can obtain it with 110v supply if needed.

There is now a Dambuster version of the Vapureyes, which is a larger version of the original Vapureyes and that includes two heating elements.  It also comes with a more powerful power supply plus two whips and tubes.  Either vape in tandem or, as the manufacturers themselves say ‘get twice as mullered in the same time.’

To use, switch on the Vapureyes and allow it to warm up, which takes about three minutes; place a ‘pinch’ of your chosen herb onto the heating element, put the glass jar back on top, and inhale.

These guys certainly have a wonderful sense of humor.  Their advice for cleaning the glass jar contains the direction to: rinse with vodka, drink and repeat! I do like these people!  For cleaning the tube and tip they recommend the usual soapy water, but advise a drop of lavender essential oil.  Nice one.

Spares are not expensive, with a replacement 10w heating element coming in at around $10 and a 240v power supply at around $20.  A pack 10 of mouthpieces costs less than $5. A more powerful power supply and a travel adapter are also available.

The Vaporizes itself costs around $200, as mentioned earlier, with the Dambuster model costing around $300.

As further indication of these guys’ whacky sense of humor, they have apparently been asked how to treat facial burns, apparently caused by the unit.  Of course, facial burns aren’t a laughing matter.  Their reply, however, is and I include it below: 

Yes, the "Vapurs" do smell lovely but take care, do not sniff it too close! The Vapureyes is meant to be used with the chamber in position and for inhaling through the tube. We do not recommend 'naked vapureyesing!'

Germolene works well and is available from most petrol stations and all night shops, (if you should need it urgently and cannot get to a chemist) - An alternative to 'naked vapureyesing' is to remove the tube tip and position the tube at the entrance of the nostrils and sniff from there. It isn't as dangerous (if that’s how you get your kicks!) but it does work! (N.B. Clean the tube before putting it back in your mouth!)

So, in summary, the Vapureyes, visually, does not appeal to me at all, it also seems a little overpriced. On the other hand, should the glass jar break, you could always replace it with a small jam jar, as long as it has a screw threaded lid!  Also, it’s as portable as a fizzy drink can – it’ll just go in your pocket.  I might actually be tempted, just because the people who market this vaporizer sound such a blast!  Then again, $200 is a lot for a laugh.  What do you think?  Let us know below!
