A Review of the Volcano Herb Vaporizer

worldofweed | Vaporizers | Friday, April 13th, 2012

The Volcano herb vaporizer is one of the most popular and most expensive vaporizers on the market. The Volcano is made by the German manufacturer Storz & Bickel which means the quality matches the price tag.

The Volcano vaporizer is available in two models which feature different methods of heating the herbs. There is the analogue vaporizer which allows the user to dial a temperature from 1 to 10. The other model is digital, which gives you the freedom to set an exact temperature.

The Volcano vaporizer releases the herbal vapours into a balloon which is closed off by a valve when the vaporizer is not being pulled on by a smoker. This ensures that no vapour escapes or gets wasted. Using the valve to close the balloon gives the smoker freedom of movement because he can remove the balloon from the vaporizer.

Each balloon can be used around 50 to 100 times, but balloons become sticky after a while, and the vapour tends to condense on the sides. Many users of the Volcano prefer to change bags after approximately 30 uses because they enjoy the “fresher” taste.

There are two types of valve to choose from, the solid valve and the easy valve. The Volcano vaporizer easy valve has a balloon already attached to it, and the whole unit can be thrown away when it becomes unusable. The Volcano vaporizer solid valve is permanently attached to the vaporizer. This means that the user must attach the balloon at each smoking session, and give the valve a clean from time to time. The Volcano vaporizer gives the smoker a high while using a smaller herbal mixture than other vaporizers. Some reviewers of the product have reported savings of up to half the amount of herb required. This feature alone makes it well worth the asking price.

Best U.K. Head Shops

worldofweed | Head Shops | Wednesday, April 11th, 2012

Shops that sell the apparatus and accessories associated with legal highs are called “head shops”. Head shops have been around in the UK since the hippy era, in fact, a shop called “Head In The Clouds” in Norwich dates back to 1971.

Things have changed since the seventies, with herbs, snuff, aphrodisiacs and glass bongs being sold at thriving outlets such as the Shiva Head Shop. Indeed some of the herb smoking accessories are collectible works of art.

ROOR pipes, made by a worldwide network of craftsman in glass headed by German glassblower Martin Birzle, are finely constructed expressions of form and function which will probably end up as family heirlooms.

The Grow High head shop is another popular UK natural high retailer. Grow High sells bongs, pipes, grinders and smoking accessories. You can buy from Grow High online or from their retail warehouse. UK Skunkworks sells the usual smoking paraphernalia as well as books, t-shirts and rolling machines from their website and their stores in Bexleyheath, South East London, Brighton, Aldershot and Hampshire. All head shops’ websites carry disclaimers stating that they do not encourage the use of illegal drugs or the cultivation of cannabis seeds.

Herbal Legal Highs

worldofweed | Drugs Information,Herbal Highs | Monday, April 9th, 2012

Herbal legal highs are strongly associated with ancient medicinal practices and traditional cultures. Herbal highs have been used by many different cultures such as the Native American Indians and across Europe and Asia as well as Africa for millennia. As plenty of these herbal drugs are still legal, people wishing to experience the effects of these traditional herbs can do so with ease.

Though a few herbal drugs are banned, there are a great number of alternatives, many of which provide similar effects. Many are available in a smokeable form, and can be used with relevant accessories such as percolator bongs or the popular smoking products from Storz & Bickel or Lolite. Other herbal drugs are available in a pill or capsule form. These drugs tend to have effects similar to ‘party pills’ and produce a mood- lifting euphoric effect. Because of the long history of herbs in traditional medicine and magic, herb products have become a popular source for legal highs. Many believe that herbal drugs have fewer harsh side effects compared to synthetic banned drugs, not to mention the legal implications.

Bongs, Vaporisers and Pipes

worldofweed | Vaporizers | Saturday, April 7th, 2012

If you are new to the scene or you are in the market for a new way to enjoy your favourite herb, you will not be disappointed when it comes to choices.  Check out the numerous smoking choices for every occasion!  There is the Eclipse Vape-2O Vaporiser, Roor Pipes and other choices that come in the form of multi pipe bongs and glass bongs.

The Eclipse Vape-2O vaporizer is a portable oil vaporiser with glass vial, aluminium body, and herb chambers.  What makes this model different, however, is its ability to be used with a water tool. This particular bong is equipped with a few different o-rings and stems that are able to fit a variety of sized water tools.  This bong can also be used on its own.

Roor Pipes are elaborately decorated glass bongs that come in a variety of everyday use and collector’s edition pipes.  Choose from the smaller Little Sista platinated bowl version, which is a unique choice for its glass pipe and unusual shape.  The shape of this particular bong increases the water volume by four times.  While you are online you can also take advantage of their other merchandise such as ball hats, t-shirts, stickers and even watches.

The ingenious smoking devices known as multi pipe bongs are a long time favourite choice.  The multi chambers mean that the smoke has less travel distance from the bowl to the lungs.  These particular devices are often glass bongs, made of two or more chambers that allow for an extra smooth and cooler smoke.

Why Legal Highs are Legal

worldofweed | Drugs Information,Legal Highs | Sunday, April 1st, 2012

Contrary to much popular belief, not all street or recreational drugs are banned under a blanket law. The Misuse of Drugs act has to specify which drugs are to be controlled. There is no simple way to classify all compounds that could be used as a means to get a high or other psychoactive effect. Therefore the law is limited to controlling only the substances that have been specifically chosen by legal experts. There are plenty of other drugs that are available that have not been included in these lists of controlled substances. Even though they may not have been classified for human consumption, they are known to have certain effects when used in the right way.

The best way to take advantage of the legal highs is to be sure to purchase from a proper retailer. There are many such retailers online; such as Shiva, and many different types of herbal drugs, supplements and synthetic legal highs can be bought. Useful extras, for example the Volcano Vaporiser Easy Valve or other smoking aids, can also be purchased online.

Shiva Shanti

worldofweed | Herbal Highs,Smoking | Thursday, March 29th, 2012

Those who enjoy growing and harvesting their own herb will want to know about Shiva Shanti.  In warm climates, this plant is ideal for both indoors and outdoors and is regarded as one of the best Afghani varieties around.  This beautiful plant, when matured, offers a smooth and pleasant taste.

When grown indoors this legal cannabis strain will take anywhere from seven to eight weeks to fully flower.  It will grow to a matured height of 100 to 130 cm and can produce a yield of up to 125g.  Whether the seeds are purchased for smoking or growing, the Shiva Shanti remains a favourite!

When choosing a strain it is important to choose one that best suits you.  This means that if you intend to grow your seeds indoors, then you will need to pick seeds that are best grown under artificial light.  If you live in a warm climate however, you can grow indoor seeds outside in natural light.  This works especially well in the tropics, the sub tropics and in the equatorial regions and the southern hemisphere.

These indoor strains can also be grown in a greenhouse environment under artificial light and will normally see as much success as you would have if growing them outdoors in a natural light environment.  This method is best practised during the spring and summer months in Northern Europe when the plants will be able to gather the much-needed energy and natural light from the sun.

In Southern Europe, those who wish to cultivate their own seeds can also grow them outdoors or in a greenhouse.  Once harvested, you can enjoy your own home grown buds by using a rolling machine by Rizla and storing them in the Rizla rolling machine tin.  Now sit back, relax and enjoy!

How to Use Eclipse Vape-2O Vaporizer

worldofweed | Herbal Highs,Vaporizers | Wednesday, March 28th, 2012

Smoking herbs using a vaporizer does not produce harsh, possibly carcinogenic materials that are associated with smoking herbs in a cigarette or a pipe. There is no unpleasant smoke entering the user’s throat or polluting the air.

Your herbs should be green when you smoke them, so keep them in a sealed container to retain as much moisture as possible. The first step in smoking using a vaporizer is to grind your herbs without turning them into a powder. Grinding them too finely will destroy the active ingredients you are supposed to be inhaling. You can buy a grinder made specifically for herbs, but if you own a coffee grinder it will serve the purpose, as will a knife or scissors.

The Eclipse Vape-2O Vaporizer is a popular model with a glass vial that you unscrew to add the ground herbs. If you are worried about screwing and unscrewing glass parts, there is no need as the components are quite robust.

Once the herbs are in the vial, screw it back on and hold your lighter under it, being careful not to allow the flame to touch the glass. Move the flame evenly over the vial so there is no risk of burning the herb. Once the herbs have turned brown and the vial is filled with vapour, you are ready to smoke. If you begin to taste a burnt flavour, you should empty the vaporizer vial and add more herbs.

The Volcano is another popular vaporizer model. This one uses a polythene bag to collect the vapour. The volcano vaporizer bags are fitted with a valve that stops the vapour from escaping during a smoking session. The Volcano has a free herb grinder included in the package.

Why a Percolator Bong Could Improve Your Smoking Experience

worldofweed | Bongs,Smoking | Sunday, March 25th, 2012

When you are looking to enhance your smoking experience, you will be most likely to look for a percolator bong.  A percolator bong has a chamber in the body of the unit with a small tube that filters and cools the smoke, making it a lot smoother before you inhale it.

A percolator bong differs from chamber bongs due to it having a different type of downstem, which has been created by changing the size and position of the chambers.  To aid percolation, a second chamber is placed inside the first, above the liquid, to facilitate filtration through the water.  This cools the smoke as it goes through the percolator.  The process ensures that there is no harshness in the smoke.

The bongs come in different styles including dome, tree, double-helix, and pedestal.  The one you choose is often a matter of personal preference based on size, design, and style.  Molino, Black Leaf, and Weed Star percolator bongs are popular.
 
The most critical aspect of a percolator bong is the flow of air through the device.  If there are any issues with the bong’s function, then you will find it hard to draw the smoke through, and risk creating back pressure that will ruin your smoking experience.  Always try to get the highest quality percolator bong that you can afford.

You can adapt your percolator bong style by choosing one with a diffuser, which will cool and soften your smoke.  This works by causing the smoke to break up and create smaller bubbles through the percolator.  Some bongs have multiple chambers to cool and filter the smoke, passing the smoke from one chamber to another through various diffusers or percolator arms.  This aims to increase the surface area to the volume ratio of the smoke, so that you can experience the complete flavour of your chosen legal smoking herbs.

Types of Legal High

worldofweed | Drugs Information,Legal Highs | Friday, March 23rd, 2012

Legal highs are an increasingly popular type of recreational drugs that are available to ordinary people without the legal problems of the vast majority of the more notorious and popular street drugs. Legal highs are often used as an alternative to these more traditional drugs because they are easier to obtain.  Herb and synthetic highs can be found from a large choice of online retailers that source professionally produced and packaged products. As such, many people would prefer to use legal highs not just for legal reasons, but also because the product is potentially more likely to contain exactly what it claims, as opposed to drugs obtained from street dealers.

Just as with illegal narcotics, legal highs come in a wide range of types and are taken in different ways depending on the type. Many of the highs that can be bought from online retailers are based on herbal products that have a base in traditional or folk medicine, or have a reputation for psychoactive effects that pre-dates modern drug use. Herb based legal highs are often smoked;  an easy way to use these types of drug is to use a specialised smoking device such as the Storz & Bickel Plenty (an electric vaporizer that provides high purity of smoke) or a regular glass bong. Alternatively, rolling machine Rizlas can be used to make herb cigarettes, or some may even like to use them in edible products.

There are also chemical based, synthetic legal highs. These are modern in origin, as they are made using chemical synthesis. These are often taken in powder form; they either come in pills (compressed powder or capsules) or can be taken as snuff.

Are Legal Highs a Safe Choice?

worldofweed | Drugs Information,Herbal Highs,Legal Highs | Wednesday, March 21st, 2012

Legal highs are becoming increasingly well known as more people become curious to experiment with mind-altering drugs.  These drugs provide a way to access many of the effects of illegal drugs but without incurring legal penalties if found possessing or using them. However, it is important to remember that legal highs are legal because the laws concerning drug use have to be explicit as to which drugs are covered; therefore there is legal ambiguity and legal highs could be seen as a loophole. For people who do not have moral concerns about using legal highs this may be irrelevant, but it is important to keep in mind that legal highs could still have some harmful side effects if they are improperly used.

The best way to enjoy legal highs is to do proper research before trying any new drugs. This will help the user understand what amount is right for them. It can also make the experience more enjoyable; plenty of sites offer products for using legal highs with, such as Plenty Vaporiser products or Rizla rolling machine tins.
