Vaporstar
With the Vaporstar you can easily turn your glass bong into a high quality vaporizer. The Vaporstar is very easy to use. A butane gas flame is drawn through the Vaporstar using he power of the lungs, which heats up a small steel star contained within the extraction chamber. From the star sixteen points of heat surround and penetrate the herb, driving the temperature upwards until vapor is seen in the glassware.
Compare this vaporizer with one or more other vaporizers.

Vaporstar review
By Atty on 10-06-2011I've used the VaporStar on and off for a few years now.
First of all, the design is very simple, consisting of a simple wooden bowl and the separate metal cap that does the actual vaporizing. The vaporstar is meant to be used with any standard bong or water pipe and the wooden bowl's tapered stem means that it will fit into a a good range of hole diameters.
Once the bowl is seated securely in the pipe and you've added herb and placed the metal cap on top, you use a butane lighter to heat the metal cap. By breathing slowly through the bong you can make the flame dip into the little 'teat' on the cap. This heats up a star-shaped heat spreader on the inside of the cap, which in turn heats the air around your herb.
To be honest, it's not the easiest of devices to use and it takes a fair bit of practise to get your technique right. Successful hits off the Vaporstar are down to a combination of good breath control and keeping a close eye on the steam accumulating inside the bowl. Glass is far superior to plastic for this, as the vapour condenses on the glass and gives you a clear visual indicator that you've reached the right temperature. It is quite easy to burn a bowl if you get too aggressive with the lighter, but patience, practise and a light touch pays dividends.
Once you've got the technique down you can get surprisingly strong hits off this little device. I used it as my primary vaping device for a couple of years and aside from the odd burnt bowl it performed brilliantly!
Also, for £25 it's one of the cheapest convection vaporizers available and could potentially last a lifetime.
