I did months of homework. I was seeing vaporizers in my sleep. I finally settled (after much agonizing) on the Super Vapezilla. I was torn between that and the Volcano. They are both in a similar price range. I am so glad that I went Vape! I use it every day. I purchased it in Dec of 2007. I feel it truly maximizes the bud. It takes about 3 minutes to warm up and you also have to leave it running while it goes through the cool down cycle. The manufacturer suggests not turning the power off until it gets down between 180 - 160 degrees F. That is the only drawback. If you are in a hurry, it is not convenient. Other than that, I cannot say enough about what a great tool it is. Everyone that has tried it with me (there have been many) are amazed at the results. Having a digital temp control allows you to slowly walk up the register of different cannabinoids that get vaped at different temps. I usually start at 360 F and finish up at about at 440 F. I have people that come by with their buds wanting to ride on the Super Vapezilla. I know some people are hesitant to give up the flavor and smoke experience of joints and various bongs & pipes but there is a distinct inhale and exhale flavor when you vaporize that is truly something. This is the only vaporizer I have tried and I am loving it. I had some concerns about all the hype at the Wicked Roots website and there were sure plenty of volcano fans that swear by their volcanos but I really didn't want to be bothered with bags and such. I wll say that I am so glad I took a chance and went with it. That is my review thus far. If there is some drawback aside from warm up and cool down time I haven't found it yet. I have been a marijuana enthusiast for some 35 years and I am not saying that this is going to completely replace joints and bongs, but it may some day. It can sure stretch a bud until it screams.
Adios -
