I love vaporizers.
My solo provides me with the same duration and high that a joint would give me except without the taste, smell, coughing, sore throat, etc...
You also don't come up as hard, which is really great. I find smoking can sometimes take you high way too quick, and I always feel like my eyeballs are going to explode. With my solo, I just sip away slowly like a kid with a grape flavoured juice box, lol.
I will also mention that the high is much greater then other methods i've tried, except without the uncomfortableness that comes with it.
