    Increase in heart rate

    My understanding has been that it is only Sativa dominant marijuana strains that speed up the heart rate, while Indica dominant strains have the opposite effect, slowing the user down into a zoned out state that has long been known as couch-lock. It is thus incorrect to presume that all weed...

    Vaping and chest tightness..

    To answer your second question, I can only speculate that a small number of first-time vaporizer users were simply born with lungs that react very badly to dry, hot THC vapor, and that for such people, the choices then narrow down to either rigging up a bubbler, going back to combusting or...

    Edibles--Use with Caution

    The statistic that there has never been a single recorded instance of a marijuana overdose is often invoked by those of us who rightly regard weed as having none of the toxicity present in alcohol and tobacco, but with the explosion of marijuana-infused edibles in legal states and now on the...

    Vaping and chest tightness..

    Toodlers I had a nasty surprise also, when I first vaped with my Airizer Air on the hottest red setting, and foolishly took multiple huge draws, reveling in that delicious aroma, but not realizing the serious lung and throat damage I was inflicting until hours later. For a couple of days after...

    The Arizer Air

    This reminds me of one time I went night-skiing in SoCal, near Wrightwood in the San Gabriel Mountains a few years back. Mountain High West has always been a very permissive place for stoners, and it was normal for snow boarders and skiers to light up joints on the chair-lift going up, or to...

    Vapes on Planes - Traveling With Vaporizers

    The only vaporizer I'd dare take aboard a plane would be one that has NEVER once been used. Those drug sniffing hounds at the airport can pick up even trace amounts of residue that would be way too small to be visible, and I shudder at the very thought of what could go down at some foreign...

    Are you mouth pumping or lung pumping?

    I really wish I had read this post before I incinerated my lungs and throat by deep-inhaling prolonged hits from my new Airizer Air, straight to my lungs, and without that VITAL pause needed to cool and moisturize the vapor. That method of direct inhalation from a dry Airizer air, with no...

    The Arizer Air

    Shawn I think you have uncovered one of the main reasons behind this throat burning effect, namely that my home-grown bud, though ostensibly dry to the stem-snapping stage, is almost never cured, since I generally harvest in such modest quantities that I simply "speed dry" the herb up in the...

    The Arizer Air

    This post has really cleared up several misconceptions that I have held about vaping, and I can't wait till I am back in shape to try the small sips technique, which actually feels a whole lot more like tokin' on a good ole joint. I now realize that taking prolonged draws to generate those huge...

    The Arizer Air

    No offence intended, Ashish. I was just alarmed at the effects I experienced after what I thought were short and measured vape sessions. Please do feel free to ignore my incoherent babbling, since it did arise during a moment of utter panic over that I was experiencing.

    The Arizer Air

    Ah, I see a mistake I have been making already. Quetzalcoatl. I assumed that to get any vapor out of my Airizer, deep and prolonged draws were absolutely necessary. When I took small sips, my exhalation contained very little vapor, which led me to assume that the device required a prolonged...

    The Arizer Air

    Now that is a but of wisdom that I have never encountered thus far, Gray Area. Intuitively I would have thought ice cold water would have been preferable in a bubbler, but come to think of it warm water is closer to its vaporization temperature, in comparison to cold water, so your idea is one...

    The Arizer Air

    Forgive my emotional outburst, Traan, but for a while there I was convinced that my tonsils were going to get so inflamed as to block off my throat and breathing, which was a thought that did induce some serious panic on my part, for sure. The wet cotton ball in the stem idea you suggest, and...

    The Arizer Air

    Thanks for the replies Carole King and LL, I definitely will continue to use my Airizer, but only after I take delivery of a substantial table-top bubbler with considerable water capacity, so that this experience never repeats itself in the future. I quit all toking activities for now, while I...

    The Arizer Air

    Ok folks I have a rant to share today, and it is that the Airizer, and possibly most portable vaporizers, should be sold with a bubbler as a package deal, and should be sold with an explicit health warning that use of portable vaporizers without a water bubbler COULD incinerate the user's...

    The Arizer Air

    Unshaven Fish and OF I sure appreciate your very informative replies to my noob vaping questions. It never occurred to me that it may be the dryness of vapor, rather than its warmth, that has been uncomfortable for me. With the explanation from OF in mind, I definitely will now purchase a...

    The Arizer Air

    I have a question about bubblers. I have refrained from using a bubbler with my Airizer Air because I read of an empirical study carried out by NORML, which concluded that a fair amount of THC is absorbed by the water in bubblers, meaning that more vaping is required to deliver the high when a...

    The Arizer Air

    Hey Get Left you will be glad to hear that vaping produces NONE of the major stink associated with combustion, and the faint aroma that lingers in the air after a vape session dissipates so rapidly that you will detect no smell at all in the air, within a minute of your session. Be advised...

    The Arizer Air

    As a first-time user of any vaporizer, I initially tested my new Airizer with the glass stem plugged in only part the way to the bottom of the heating chamber, and as a result I was a bit underwhelmed by the size of the hits I was getting, judging by the very faint vapor exhalations I saw. I...

    Much thanks for the welcome, Woodvillain. I have learned a lot from your wise advice on getting the most out of the Airizer, and have saved money for sure, just by hearing about the best Airizer-related options as they become available here before anywhere else. Funny you should mention...
