question guys, what do you think of $119 for a vaporcannon vaporwarez 4g standard? its on vapenow, and i thought it was a pretty good deal. does anyone know if their ceremic heater compares to that of da buddha or ssv? thanks :)

That is a helluva deal in my opinion. I paid 130, I think, for my hands-free 3g unit a year+ ago.

Function wise, the SSV/DBV (they are basically the same) compares almost identical, at least from what I've seen, read and with my experiences with the VaporWarez.

It doesn't get a lot of attention. It's not exactly flashy, but it certainly does the job. Consider it a work horse. It matches my wood decor, which is why I opted for it over the SSV/DBV.

The 5 year warranty is hard to beat too... ;)

Yep. $120 for a standard is as good as it gets. And there are none on eBay right now, which is surprising. So vapenow's got a great price.

I've tried a few other vapes, namely a Volcano my friend owns and a Vapir Air Digital Air (which, IMO sucks). I decided to get the Vapor Warez over the SSV because of the warranty and aesthetics.

The wood grain matches my desk perfectly. And in the winter time, when I come inside and my hands are cold it's great to rest them on top of it. :lol:

I guess they recently came out with their 4th Generation model. As far as I remember the only new additions are a new and improved heating element and a shock resistant heating element mount.

If your on a budget, or just savy about woodgrain aesthetics (one reason the Purple Days appeals to me so much) the Vapor Warez is the way to go. I mean you can buy a 2nd or 3rd generation for 100/120, respectively. That's one helluva bargain.
Hey Spiral - I just "won" a VW 3G on Ebay for $49, free shipping, used for one year according to the ad - seller has 100 percent positive feedback.
I should have it in a week - I'll let you know how I like it...

I got my VaporWarez 3G today. I wanted the Vapor Brothers one but ended up going with the warez on a whim.
I keep burning my herb a little bit, even though I have the heat set to 12 o'clock. I think I'm probably just drawing too hard, too used to smoking a bong. Other than that it's great so far.
I think it'll work out once I get the hang of it.

I've been mostly using the deluxe duel-screen handsfree hand kit. It sucks having to wait for the glass to cool down before you can unscrew it to stir up the mix or put new herb in. It doesn't hold as much as the regular whip either.
It's easier to use once you have had a few and spilling your herbs becomes more likely, but I think the regular hand kit would be better in most cases.

anyone else have a preference in hand kits?

You can't take that typical '12 o'clock high' setting to the bank. Every unit can be different due to various factors including how the temp knob was placed on the control shaft. Drawing too hard would lower your temp, not burn it. A hard fast draw pulls in a lot of cold air and definitely affects the temp. You can't hit a vape really hard like a bong, but if you're comfortable with your draw speed, try dropping the temp a little. Finding the right zone on a particular whip unit is a balance between knob setting and draw speed. ;)

I love my Vapor Warez. It was my first vape and I really think it is definitely worth the cash. I haven't tried it compared to the DBV/SSV so I can't compare them.

As mentioned, cleaning the whip can be a *****. I highly recommend opting for the deluxe 2-thingy one.

The Warez is my vape for home, relaxed use, while the Genie acts as an on-the-go or on-a-whim device. When I head off to college, I'll likely get another....

Another VaporCannon? Better hurry. They don't make 'em anymore. They closed up shop.

The following is a quote from Vaporstor.com:

The VaporWarez VaporCannon is now under the manufacturing care of VaporStore.
The understanding, to me at least, is that the Vaporstore.com will be some how be involved in current and future production and fulfillment of warranty obligations of the Cannon and other VW merchandise.. :shrug:

As I mentioned to SA last night in chat, I got my VW 3G a few days ago and I really like it alot. It's the hands free model - the wand fits securely around the heating element.
It was a real score for $50 on Ebay. I already have a SSV so what did I need this for? I don't know - I was just very curious about it, the price was right, and the only way I was going to be able to try one was to buy it. Also I like the name "Vapor Warez' alot - it's just a cool name.

My question is - I need to get a glass mouthpiece for the whip. Where's a good place to order it from?

Also - what I do regarding the concern of material falling out of the wand, is I tilt the VW on its side, vertically, rather than raise up the back with a book. It's much simpler and works fine.

I would recommend this vape - there's nothing wrong with it and it works well. It looks cool - especially next to the PD - and while it's probably not as durable as a SSV/DB, it's a good choice for a simple box style vape.

The Vaporwarez guy called it quits due to family issues, I'm told.
Vaporstore is going to honor the 'warez warranties, and they have some refurbished units for sale (maybe a few new ones), but in view of the models they already make and sell-VaporBox, VaporDoc, Vapor Tower, I don't think the Vaporcannon is going to be produced anymore. They have a 2G and 3G listed for sale, but not a 4G, which is the latest model. I don't know if their deal with Vaporwarez allows them to produce more or not, but if it were me, I'd keep making the Vaporcannon. It's got better name recognition than VaporBox or VaporDoc.

I sent you an email on the mouthpiece deal jeff. Let me know if for some reason you don't get it. ;)

Does anyone have any experience with the VaporWarez through a bong?

I'm thinking about springing for it, because I'll have a lot of money from my summer job. Is it worth it?

my preference is the double hookah I got from vaporhut for shared usage....very easy to take off the screen and clean and also to stir...it also has a large diameter for more area....the only thing to keep in mind is that the hits are not as dense if you use it as is....but this can be remedied via pluggn' up the 2nd hose..i use a clip....there are other methods....

as for the bong..I've used it with a bong as well...it's quite nice but too much of a hassle for me to do it every time...as the vapor doesn't bother me in terms of coughing etc....

At first the downward angle kind of confused me to be honest. Then I figured out how easy it is to really use, and how ergonomic it actually is.

Not to mention, as specified by the company themselves, you can, if you please, put something underneath the back of the unit to make the heating element parallel to the ground/horizontal. I know some people prefer it this way. IT doesnt affect the quality of the hit or performance at all.

And VaporBrothers, from what I hear, are just about similiar in terms of quality. I don't own one though, but I know 2 people who own both VB and the VW and they both prefer different ones. The price is the same, but their is no 'on/off' switch, so you have to find the 'sweet spot' each time. One thing I do like is the blue light on the heating element though. I wonder if I could mod my VW without ruining the warranty to accomplish something like that?
I tilt mine on its side; I happen to like my VW 3G alot. Can you explain what you mean by ergonomic in this sense?

Ive had my 4G VC for over a year,
During that times its seen a lot of daily use.
The only thing that's wrong with it is the plastic knob fell off.
I replaced it with a nice metal one :brow:
My only gripe is that no one sells vape whips in the uk and i have to order from abroad.
no ones fault, just one of those things :-)

Great box vape
