The Ubie

[Vageorge]

Hi

Has anyone had any experience with 'the ubie', i not having much luck getting any vapor off tobacco or herbs. Do the herbs/tobacco have to be moist to release anything? I inhale the heated air from a lighter, as per the instructions, and i get no vapours until eventually the herbs get so hot that they burn, defeating the purpose of vaporising.

Thanks

Hi Vageorge, I ordered a Ubie but haven't received it yet. I did receive the one from Hugegrins.com but it's made from stainless steel & it gets REAL hot real quick & burns yer lips. I also ordered the one from Vapbong.com, which looks like the best one of all, but haven't received it yet either, search vapbong on YouTube to see it in action. I have the VaporGenie pipe style vaporizer, it works great. I ordered all of these to see which ones are best for vaping tobacco in case ejuice & ecigs are banned, which may be any day now, also to see which would be compatible with ejuice and/or herbs. If ejuice runs dry I think vaping tobacco leaf would be a safer alternative than burning it.
From what I've read about vaping herbal material, you don't see much 'smoke' when you exhale, which is normal, but you can taste it, and wackytobacky definitaley works twice as well as burning it, so ciggytobacky should too....from what I've read anyway.
I also ordered the Vapir Oxygen mini digital battery/AC unit but have not received it yet. Waiting to order the I-inhale unit until the new model is available, soon according to their website. I think that Kate has the I-inhale unit, never heard if it works with ejuice from her though.

Hi Harry-

Vapourising straight tobacco will not provide much in the way of visible exhaled vapour, but should give you a nicotine hit/ throat hit. The small amount of vapour that it does give off will be absorbed on the inhale.

I've personally used the ubie with both e-liquids and tobacco.

If you want plumes of vapour, try adding some glycerine to your tobacco - check the video on this page for more info: tobacco + glycerine demo

Hi Smokinduce, yep I've read about soaking tobacco in glycerine to get more visible vapor, however I'm really not that interested in visible exhaled vapor, only the nic hit. My VaporGenie works great with straight tobacco as far as the nic & throat hit & a pleasant tobaccoey flavor, but very little visible vapor.
Vageorge was wondering if his Ubie was working right, it probably is but it's a very small unit & holds a very small amount of tobacco. The VaporGenie is like a full sized pipe with a big bowl, nice unit so far. They sell smaller less expensive versions too but $60. for the big one isn't all that bad, nicely crafted wooden pipe. I haven't tried ejuice in it yet, I plan on soaking some poly batting in the juice...just gotta get some at Walmart first, don't want to waste my good cart batting on it.

Thanks for the tips but ubie has bit the dust during an aggresive cleaning attempt. If i remember correctly it worked ok until i added some ejuice for a bit more zing. It burnt the inside of the glass which may have messed the heating process up somehow. Vapbong looks good, might have a go at one as well as that wooden block with the digital temp on it. Do you have any info on the new I-Inhale model?
