VaporGenie

Pro's:
Hand held portable vaporizer that doesn't use any power to operate (besides a butane lighter)

Gets the job done, very easy to use. 1 use will teach you everything you will need to know.

Not much replacement parts (If you need any replacement parts they are free on the website they even send you pipe cleaners)

Con's:
$55-$99 price range (Which isn't too bad for a hand held vaporizer)
Another hand held vape is Iolite which is $200 and you have to buy refills on butane.

Bigger bowl for my content (But I was baked off of 1 bowl just wish i could pack more)

If done wrong contents smoke (But only had that problem first use)

Overall: 8/10

I been using the VaporGenie now on & off since I got it and I have been more than impressed as this is the fastest and easiest way to vaporize your herbs.

The VaporGenie has no batteries or electrical cords as all you need to get your vapor is a lighter thanks to the ceramic heat shield, this is found in the large round piece of the pipe that sits above your ready packed pipe.

To work the VaporGenie properly all it needs is a little practice. As you begin to draw air very slowly through the pipe you hold you lighter just above the rim of your ceramic heat shield so the flame is just licking into the top of the heat shield but not touching it as if you let the flame sit directly on your heat shield you will forever be blocking it with soot (which can be cleaned using a jet lighter). As you begin to taste a very nice hashy taste (if you can taste butane your lighter is too close) coming through your pipe begin to draw in deeper & faster taking in a deep breath of all your vapor and then hold it for a second or two and exhale and you should see a cloud of vapor as you do, it's not smoke just take a look at your now used herbs to see and you'll find the herb in your pipe has now gone a light brownie colour and smells a bit like toasted popcorn (as I find with all properly vapourised herb) if you did burn it then you either held your lighter to close to your shield or didn't quite draw your vapor in fast enough but with a little practice you won't be burning any herb, only vapourising it.

In closing like most vapourisers the VaporGenie definitely offers a much cleaner high than just smoking it and yes you do get more from you herb than when you just burn it as THC only needs to be heated to be activated not burnt. I found the only problem with the VaporGenie was I am constantly running out of lighters as it definatley uses a lot more of your gas however I think a good quality angled jet lighter would be perfect to use on the VaporGenie with a little practice as they heat much quicker than a standard flame lighter and once you got used to the extra heat from them you would use a lot less gas heating your VaporGenie.
