The VaporGenie is a vaporizer pipe that is dramatically safer and more pleasant to use than a conventional combustion pipe. 

 

The VaporGenie gently heats your herb so that it releases the flavor compounds, but does not burn. Tar and toxic smoke are greatly reduced. The VaporGenie provides super-smooth vapor. There is no coughing or burning throat. It feels like you are inhaling warm, flavored air.

 

The VaporGenie relies on a totally new concept to provide the 'sweet-spot' vaporization temperatures of 107-190 degrees Celsius (225-375 degrees Fahrenheit). The secret to the VaporGenie is the patent-pending flame filter. The flame filter is located above your herb (between the herb and flame). In the pictures, the flame filter is located within the spherical wood part. The flame filter mixes heat from the flame with cold, ambient air. The flame filter is specially designed to mix the flame and cool air and provide vaporization temperatures. 

 

The flame filter is also specially designed to withstand the flame heat for many years. It is made of high-purity silicon carbide, one of the most inert and heat-resistant ceramics known. Silicon carbide is made of only silicon and carbon, in a diamond crystal structure. Silicon carbide does not contain metals and so will not contaminate your vapor or create metallic flavors. The ceramic filter does not burn, fracture, or deteriorate. It will never need replacement.

 

The wood of the VaporGenie is finely sanded smooth and is sealed with natural a food grade varnish that reveals beautiful wood grain patterns. There are no glues, adhesives other toxic chemicals used in the VaporGenie. 

 

All the metal parts in the VaporGenie are either stainless steel or chrome plated for inertness. The VaporGenie comes with a stainless steel screen and stainless steel bowl.

 

From mouthtip to the center of the bowl (where the flame enters), the VaporGenie is 13 cm.

The VaporGenie is used in a manner very similar to a conventional pipe. That's what makes it so easy to use. 

 

First, the pipe is loaded with herb, and then the flame filter is screwed onto the pipe. It is important to use loose, shredded herb; do not pack. 

 

Then, you inhale from the pipe while supplying flame to the flame filter. The flame filter automatically protects the herb from burning. You control the exact temperature by adjusting the amount of flame applied and speed of inhalation. It is important to not touch the ceramic filter with the flame. 

 

By paying attention to the flavors and heat inhaled, you know the temperature, and can adjust flame application accordingly. Experienced VaporGenie users can keep the air stream temperature to within a range of about 166 degrees Celsius (330 degrees Fahrenheit). This is sufficient temperature control for vaporization. 

 

Unlike electronic vaporizers, the VaporGenie is as portable as a conventional pipe, is less expensive, requires no heat-up time, and is more reliable. There are no electronic gizmos to break in the VaporGenie. 

 

The VaporGenie is an excellent choice for people just starting out with vaporization, and for people who own an electronic vaporizer, but would like to vaporize away from home.
