Since 2008 the Iolite Portable Vaporizer has established itself as one of the best handheld vaporizers on the market, and the tradition continues with the New Iolite Original Vaporizer. This upgraded device feature a better ignition system for better reliability, as well as a stronger build quality to reduce the chance of breakages.

The New Iolite Original Vaporizer comes complete with a handy carry case for storage, full instructions and pipe cleaners, so you can start using your Vaporizer straight out of the box. It still works on lighter gas which means there is no need for batteries or mains adaptors, making it highly portable.

The New Iolite Original Vaporizer is available now in a range of colours including black, red, blue and white, priced at £159.99 this handy device is great for when you’re on the move.

Vaporizers have become an increasingly popular way of consuming tobacco, plant extracts and essential oils. Instead of combustion, the vaporizer extracts the active ingredients by passing hot air through the product or even by directly heating it with an element. The resulting vapour can then be inhaled for consumption.

The rise in popularity of vaporizers is chiefly because they provide a healthier alternative to traditional smoking. The inhalation of smoke is inherently bad for the lungs and the carbon monoxide that is also breathed in reduces the blood’s ability to transport oxygen. Furthermore, when burnt tobacco and herbal products release toxins, such as tar and benzene, it can lead to serious long term health problems such as throat and lung cancer. As the vaporizer keeps its material below its combustion temperature no smoke is produced and the associated health risks are sidestepped or at least significantly reduced. They also provide a smoother and more pleasant experience with little irritation of the throat or coughing. Vaporizers’ lack of second-hand smoke make them great for considerate use when in the company of others. In addition vaporizers are an excellent means of applying aromatherapy.

The obvious drawback to switching from smoking to vaporizers is the higher cost. Top of the range vaporizers like Storz & Bickel’s Volcano vaporizer can cost over £400. However, there are cheaper models available like the Iolite and the Eclipse Vape-2O Vaporizer. These also have the advantage of being smaller and more portable. It should also be borne in mind that vaporization extracts the active ingredients much more efficiently than smoking, saving money on herbal blends. The upfront investment may be steep compared to a packet of cigarette papers, but vaporization should be a serious consideration for the long term user.

Since the release of their Volcano Vaporizer in 2000, Storz & Bickel have built up an unmatchable name for themselves in the vaporizer market. Their reputation for efficiency and reliability has resulted in them dominating the industry and has made ‘The Volcano’ a household name when it comes to vaporizing.

The day has long been awaited that they would release a new vaporizing system and that time is finally here.

Introducing the brand new PLENTY Handheld Vaporizer from Storz & Bickel.

This awesome looking device promises to live up to the reputation created by its older brother. It offers all of the flavour, effect and purity that we are use to with the Volcano, packaged into a device that can be held and operated in one hand.

To use the device it is as simple as plug it in, fill it up, set the temperature and inhale though the highly efficient cooling coil.

The unit features a heat exchange that is equipped with a specialized double helix to ensure efficient air heating and high-yield vaporization.

Its temperature control ranges from 130°c to 202°c and the temperature of the filling chamber is displayed on an easy to read analog thermometer.

As expected with Storz & Bickel products the unit comes with a 3 year manufacturer’s guarantee.

Only time will tell whether the PLENTY will be as reliable as the Volcano but I have an extremely good feeling about this product.
