  The vaporizer is really good.  It's effiecient and it's easier on the 
ungs.
Though I can't say I notice much difference in the high.  Everyone should try
it if they haven't because I think they'll like it a lot better.  Also you 
an
order them from some companies now if you don't want to build your own.
