I saw that the vaporpro had absolutely no posts on this forum and was surprised. I originally picked mine up at a headshop on Telegraph avenue but have since only been able to find them online, here: http://www.gotvape.com/store/9mm.vapor.pro.vaporizer.php
Basically, it's a glass bowl where a screen is placed with a ground glass joint up top, where the heat diffuser fits in perfectly. The heat diffuser is two pieces of stainless steel with two screws going through connecting them. There is a hole bored through the middle, and where it unscrews, one or two stainless steel screens are placed. The flame is applied (I only ever tried bics) and pulled through the hole in the top of the heat diffuser, through the screen, out into the herbal material.
I found this vaporizer to be very effective during the time I had it. It was completely awesome for extracts, and it was a vaporizer which erred on the side of being too hot, not too cold. My main problem with it was that you were constantly nuking a screen with hot fire, which eventually left it a nasty, disintegrated mass - and made you curious about the health ramifications of such an act. It was a completely adequate first vaporizer, and it was -wonderful- being able to watch the material slowly brown as you were drawing warm air through it.
My vapor pro glass bowl broke, through no one's fault but my own, when I dropped it about a year or two ago, and I've been without ever since. Still, it easily rates a review, and honestly, I think it was probably more effective than the vaporstar or the vapo-bowl - but it also required nuking a screen all the time, which I hated.
This sort of design does seem easily bettered by the HDvape and the Full Dome provided they both succeed in making an all-glass heat diffuser which is both durable and effective.
If anyone knows a place to get the 14.4 mm glass bowl portion on the cheap, please let me know.
Edit - after using the vaporstar and vapo-bowl more, both of which I really like, one thing I remember appreciating with the vapor pro was the pure visibility of the material being vaped. You can still kind of see it in the vapo-bowl but its so shallow it's difficult to see from any real perspective you'd see it while using, and the vaporstar is completely blind. The vaporpro had it far enough away from the diffuser so it was gloriously visible. Full-dome does the same with all glass though.

. The only website that has it sell sit for 80 bucks which is a roaring laugh for what the device actually is.
