Hmmm, What Else Could This Be Used For?

There's a new device called the Vapir Kit that allows you to get the essence of tobacco without all the carcinogens. It superheats the substance and you inhale the vapors. You get the effect without the harm. Cigarette smokers will probably never use this thing, because it does not convey the right image and isn't as easy to use ase a match and a cigarette. It does however have other uses. The article talks to a guy who gets his coffee fix this way. It could be used for aroma therapy. Or it could be used to smoke marijuana.

I have heard that if you buy a commercial heating device - something that looks like a big glue gun - and use it to heat marijuana in a water pipe, or "bong", you can get a super clean buzz on without any coughing, sputtering, or - supposedly - ill effect on your lungs. This is essentially what the Vapor Kit is doing without the great need to buy a commercial heat gun. The thing is still $300, but it might find a certain niche market.
