Everyone should know more about carcinogen as we are exposed to it in our daily lives frequently. So what is carcinogen? Why does it matter to me? What should I do to avoid it?

A carcinogen is a substance that is directly involved in causing cancer. Simple, right? Should be easy to avoid…but no, they are in all of our daily lives and very difficult to avoid. Simple examples of carcinogens are asbestos, household chemicals, and tobacco smoke. So you lets say you live in a asbestos free house, don’t use household chemicals and smoke free. Why does it matter to you? Here are somethings you might not know that contain carcinogens…

Simple Consumer Products: toothpaste, shampoo, detergent, soap, deodorant, and many more.

Everyone uses these products everyday. These products do not contain high levels of carcinogens, but still contain cancer causing chemicals inside.How to avoid: Its hard to find and a little pricy, but use all natural products you can find at health conscious stores like Trader Joe’s and Wholefoods.

Household Cleaning Products: Certain cleaning sprays, disinfectant, etc.

Not everyone uses these products on a daily basis, but many household cleaning products contain Dioxins, which are toxic compounds that are environmental pollutants.How to avoid: Stick to all purpose, all natural products. More and more organic cleaners are being introduced into the market today.

Food: Barbecuing meat, milk, certain snacks.

Charring meat, whole milk and certain packaged snacks contain carcinogens.How to avoid: microwave meat before barbecuing to reduce time to grill. Milk and packaged snacks should be consumed only if its all natural.

Obviously, you can’t avoid all carcinogens in your daily life. However, by choosing the right products to use and consume will greatly reduce the amount of carcinogen that you’ll be exposed to. It may cost a little more in price, but you can’t put a price on your health.

VP-100 Vaporizer Clearance for DIY Parts VP-100 Vaporizer Clearance for DIY Parts (Doesn't include the whip)


Hey,


I wanted to get an idea how interested you would be in getting a ‘made in China’ vaporizer to use as parts to make your own DIY vaporizer.


I have a few new made in China vaporizers that heat up, but the digital display doesn’t work quite right. For those who want to take apart the vaporizer for the heating element or other parts, this would be a great opportunity.


Think of it as a vaporizer junk yard’ except that the vaporizers are 100% new and never has been used. The problem lies in the fact that the digital display and temperature adjustments are out of whack. (EE’s might be able to figure this out easily) The vaporizers won’t have whips, but I can include one for a few extra bucks if you want. Again, none of the vaporizers have been used. (Some have been opened to be tested)


I’m offering this to give back to my readers, so all I’ll ask is for you to pay for shipping. Since I’ll have to go out to get some boxes to ship these out, I’ll ask for $15 for shipping. If you want me to throw in a whip with this, it’ll be $10 extra.


So to recap, here’s what I’m thinking of offering:

New ‘made in China’ vaporizer to be used as parts for only the price of shipping.The vaporizers do heat up, but the temperature and digital display is out of whack, so nothing about it is accurate.You only pay for the shipping, box and the time it takes me to get box to ship these out in.If you want the whip, it’ll be $10 extraSince I’m basically giving these things out and is not a ‘for profit’ sale, I will not have any sort of warranty or guaranty. It’s a POS vaporizer that might work well for guys that know electronics  and want some parts to create their own DIY vape.If I get enough interest, I’ll just set up a PayPal link to this website so you can send me the payment and a ship to address.

Alright, that’s that. Let me know if you’re interested by commenting below.  I only have a few of these vaporizers, so once it’s gone, that’s it. It’s gone. So if you’re the DIY type, comment below and let me know.

Looking for an Affordable Whip-Style Vaporizer?

If you're new here, you should subscribe to Vaporizer Times | The Best in Vaporizer News by Email. Thanks for visiting!

If you’re looking for a vaporizer, you’re probably aware of the many benefits a vaporizer will offer you. Maybe you already have a vaporizer and want to upgrade, or add another one to the collection. Whichever your reasons may be, using a vaporizer will help you avoid many of the deadly toxins that are produced when you inhale herbs by the conventional way of burning. Smooth and pure vapor and full bodied taste is a few of the other benefits you can expect with a high-quality vaporizer.

There are a lot of vaporizers out on the market that claim to do the impossible at super low prices. These types of vaporizes usually cost around $60 and are knockoffs of legitimate vaporizers. These knockoffs are imported from China and are inferior in quality compared to the original vaporizer they copied. Although Chinese manufacturing has come a long way and will most likely rival the best manufacturers on the planet very soon, the knockoff vaporizers are made with profit in mind and skimp on very important materials that offer the health benefits of vaporizers.

So are there any affordable whip-style vaporizers out there? The short and easy answer is yes. Out of the many out in the market, the one that stands out as the leader is Da Buddha Vaporizer. This vaporizer is made out of thick cylindrical aluminum that can withstand abuse that other vaporizers just can’t take. Da Buddha Vaporizer uses a clean heat source with its ceramic heating element and glass heater cover to ensure clean heated air with every inhale you take. Your herbs are placed into a glass wand, which is connected to medical grade tubing and ends with a glass mouthpiece.

Da Buddha Vaporizer comes in 2 colors at the moment. One is a pure aluminum silver, and another one which is a black powder coated finish. Because powder coating is an intensive process, you should expect to pay a little more for the Black finish. If you like the black finish, it will be more than worth the little more you’ll pay. Powder coating also makes the surface MUCH more resistant to scratches, dents and any other damage.

As with the Silver Surfer Vaporizer (the big brother of Da Buddha Vaporizer), you can expect thick flavorful vapor with each inhale. The vapor produced from a whip style vaporizer is much more direct and thicker than from a bag style vaporizer and is just a function of how the two types of vaporizers differ.

So if you’re looking for a vaporizer that offers affordable pricing, stout and heavy duty construction and nice thick vapor, Da Buddha should be on the top of your list for your next vaporizer purchase.

REVIEW: Impressions on the iOlite Vaporizer

REVIEW: Impressions on the iOlite Vaporizer
If you're new here, you should subscribe to iolite Vaporizer Times | The Best in Vaporizer News by Email. Thanks for visiting!
The hand held, portable, butane powered iOlite vaporizer is one of the best selling vaporizers in the market today. With its unique looks and easy to use features, its growing in popularity throughout the US and Canada. At an affordable price just under $200, this vaporizer is sure to be one of the best you can get at this price range. Unlike other portable vaporizers, the iOlite does not need to take hours to charge a battery, nor does it need a car charger. It runs on butane, which will only take you a few seconds to refill, and allow you to vaporize immediately at full capacity.
When I first opened up the iOilte vaporizer, it came in a nice box with a few accessories in it. The packaging was nice, leading me to believe that the vaporizer was something spectacular. I then took the unit out and carried it in my hand. I was disappointed. It was made of cheap plastic with a wiggly on/off switch, much like a toy you can buy for $2.99 at the local drug store.
Leaving my disappointment aside, I then followed directions on how to use this vaporizer. The butane is filled just like a regular refillable lighter. Once filled, I turned the switch on the on side, where you will start to hear a loud sound of gas coming out. The ignition button is on the bottom, where you ignite the gas until you see a light on the side glow. Leave it on for a few minutes and your ready to go.
Excited, I put my mouth on the mouth piece and started using my new vaporizer. As I kept using, I’ve noticed that every time I pulled it, I tasted the butane in my mouth. I then noticed there are intervals of gas coming out to get the heater to a certain temperature. The gas turns off every minute or so to cool down, where at that time you should pull. You’ll still taste the butane but much less than when the gas is on.
Overall, this iOlite vaporizer is a thumbs up. It works well, portable, and very easy to use. The cons are …its made of inferior quality material, pulls taste like butane, and the switch wiggles. If your looking for a portable, easy to use vaporizer you can take anywhere…this is the vaporizer for you!
