I bought a Silver Surfer Vaporizer and thought I would give a review of my likes and dislikes. Let me start off by giving some personal background info. Well in January I broke my femur and tore my quad in a MX race crash. I took pain meds after surgery and even some extra I had saved up from a previous broken leg and before I knew it I had developed a mild addiction. After my supply had run out I would go days on end I would go without sleeping from what I believe to have been withdrawls. This happened over several weeks until my friend kicked me down a dub sack and told me to use weed to help fall asleep (I had only tried weed 5 times in my whole life up till that point), needless to say it worked. Fast forward 6 months and my smoking habbit has grown to where I own 2 bongs, a pipe, and smoke joints or blunts regularly. I now smoke about 3/8 of some of the best weed around in a week (I can afford it since I'm in tight with a big dealer and pay only $75 an OZ). The carbon monoxide poisoning from smoking is bad for my recovering leg, not to mention the noticeable impact blunts and bongs have had on my sinuses, throat, and lungs. Lately my sinuses have been acting up and I am always coughing up flem. To avoid all the problems associated with smoking I spent $450 on 2 SSVs and accessories (4 piece grinder, aroma diffuser, and ground glass wand).Here is my review:
The SSV itself is the nicest looking vape on the market IMO. Its construction is sturdy, simple, and asthetiacally appealing. The ceramic heating element takes about 3-4 minutes to reach the desired temperature. After turning the knob from full power to the 2 or 3 oclock position I placed my ground glass wand into the glass surrounding the ceramic heating element and inhaled. I kept inhaling thinking that I was getting nothing but then when my lungs where full I felt a tingling in my throat and wanted to caugh. When I exhaled a very large amount of vape come out. The taste of the weed was phenomenal; you have never properly tasted weed until you vape from a high quality unit like the SSV. The first time I vaped I only used up about .2 of a gram or less (far less than the 1 gram joints or 2 gram blunts I normally smoke by myself). The high was instant, intense, and different from any high I have experienced from smoking or eating. Even though I used far less weed than usual I was actually higher and boy did my red glazed eyes prove it. The high goes to your head mostly and made me want to go out and do stuff. I cant begin to describe how hard the high hits, not even a gravity bong has given me a high that hit me this hard and yet I didn't want to zone out watching the boob tube. The smell was hardly noticable and was easily masked by breathing into dryer sheets. Even after 2 grams over the course of a day no one could smell the weed in my den and all doors and windows where shut. My friend could smell the aroma diffuser that came with my SSV for $18 and boy does it smell awsome with the Ylang Ylang II. Another difference I experienced with vapeing vs. smoking is I barely get the munchies.
Like I said b4, you hardly need any weed to get high. I smoked over 1 gram in a single sitting and the only thing I noticed was the initial dome high I received immediately after talking a hit but I did not get any higher after smoking only .3 grams. However, the high does not last as long as a joint or even a bong, only 30-40 minutes, after that I feel sleepy for the next 10 minutes. Unfortunately if I am sitting down I always fall asleep about 50 minutes after vapeing. But if Im out doing something I have yet to fall asleep when the buzz wears off.
To demonstrate how high you get from a vape I will share my experience with you from yesterday. I had nothing better to do so I vaped almost 2 grams over the course of the day, 1 gram was done in a single session. At the end of the day I barely had a buzz so I packed a large bowl into my bong (about .5 grams) and smoked the whole thing by myself. After waiting 30 minutes the high still felt wimpy compared to my vape which I had been using exclusively for 3 days in a row. To be honest I could barely tell I was high, but then I took 3 rips off of my SSV (with the same weed) and the high grew exponentially, I ate some dinner and then went to sleep.
To summarize my SSV experience:
-Most intense high I have experienced
-Shortest (time wise) high I have experienced
-SSV aroma diffuser works awsome
-SSV gave me the worst case of red eyes so make sure to have some eye drops handy if you plan on associating with non stoners
-SSV gives me less munchies
-SSV provides an uppidy high
-Dont sit down when the high begins to wear off cuz you will fall asleep
-The taste of vapeing with the SSV is superior to eating, joints, blunts, pipes, bubblers, or bongs
