Hey Bryan21,
Im a non cig/baccy smoker, i like to smoke joints sometimes though. I own 2 vaporizers now, and i must say they do feel like you clear your lungs out. All the non smokers that try my vapes don't seem to choke afterwards and enjoy their hit, where as the heavy tobacco smokers all seem to choke a lot, it is my belief that its the tars on their lungs being loosened from the pure vape hits and thus making them cough up.
Vaporizers also save you a lot of money too, they make your weed last, and if you don't go near combustion point and keep your temp fairly low you can cook with the vaped weed too, yet again Edibles , another Route of Administration for cannabis for you so you dont harm your lungs further.
I own the arizer v tower (my desktop vape) and a Magic Flight Launch Box (my portable one) and i must say i do enjoy using both vapes for different reasons.
You can also hook bongs up to vaporizers too.
Don't skimp out on a cheap vaporizer though, it wont save you money, and it will just likely burn your weed. Hope this helps
