I have been using my Da Buddha Vaporizer for a few months and have had no problems with it. It only took about one use to figure out how to use it properly and since then every vaping session has been painless. I have accidentally left it on several times and it caused no problems. I highly recommend the Da Buddha Vaporizer to anyone who is looking for a whip-style vaporizer, and even if you are looking for a bag-style vaporizer it's worth considering the Da Buddha Vaporizer as well.

I like the Da Budda but you need to be really careful not to blow your ingredients into the heater lamp or you will have a small and very smelly fire. This to me isn't safe and I wish I had purchased one that was made different where there could be no fire. If you don't mess up you will get a good amount of vapor and it last along time. I liked the vaporizer part but just a bit worried about starting a small fire.

-Quality-
The quality of the product itself is quite sturdy and durable. Glass-on-glass guarantees purity. Heating element works on command. All parts easy to disassemble and clean. The quality of the vapors are top-notch. Exceptional experience, first-rate in my opinion.

-Ease-of-Use-
Learning curve required. It really comes down to practice, as far as the heating and suction is involved. For example, the different heating levels that the rotating knob can give you vary incredibly. Also, the different speeds at which you draw air affect how rapidly or slowly the heat is produced. Personally, I found the best method of vaporizing was the knob at 1130 o'clock while slowly drawing, mimicking the breath amounts absorbed with the average Yawn--You'll be flying almost instantly after your first complete draw).

The only problem I could find was the wand sometimes falling off the heating chamber, my assumptions is that I might have gotten a faulty wand (the ground glass part), and it eventually shattered from a fall. I've ordered a new one today from Vaperworld, so I'll review that process later.

-Value-
Worth every penny! The amount of material you save, if used the right way, are incredible. I consider myself a daily user and a gram easily lasts me an entire week. All products included (grinder, whip, etc.) are valuable extras as well. Great service all around. I definitely got my money's worth on this one.

-OVERALL-
Da Buddha vaporizer is an exclusive item that one cannot avoid to experience. The quality of the product and its function is top-notch. The value is unmatched. Da Buddha exceeds all expectations, it sure exceeded mine. Highly Recommended.

Happy Vaporing!

IF YOU READ ANY PART OF MY REVIEW, READ THE HOW-TO AT THE END TO REALLY ENJOY YOUR DA BUDDHA VAPORIZER

Alright, I want to address a few things here.

The Unit:

First of all, Da Buddha is one of the most cost-effective units out there. The next closest unit on price is the Hot Box and while it has stealth going for it, Da Buddha has a temperature control knob, which was the selling point for me.

The quality of the materials is fantastic. I was weary of using anything with plastic components (heat + plastics = carcinogens), so the all glass and aluminum construction feels solid and is safe to use.

VapeWorld Experience:

Another thing I want to address is the quality of Vape World. Prices are great, customer service is great, shipping was extremely fast. I mean, look at the website and tell me how many other vaporizer websites out there actually feel legitimate? VapeWorld dominates the market, and I enthusiastically recommend them to all of my friends.


** HOW TO USE DA BUDDHA **

I've been using my unit for about 4 months now and after reading a few reviews, I think some people need a brief explanation on how to use the unit--there are definitely some tricks and tips that maximize your vaping experience with this unit.

First of all, realize that it does not draw like conventional methods. Since the air intake is right below the wand, the air goes in, flows past the heating element. Thus, drawing it quickly only causes room temperature air to rush in and out without ever having time to heat up. THIS IS THE MOST COMMON MISTAKE!!! I love watching my friends try to take huge draws like you would using conventional mehtods only to get nothing and then pass it to me and look amazed as I get a perfect draw while barely inhaling. THE KEY IS A SLOW STEADY DRAW. This allows the air to move in, get heated up and go across your aromatherapy. Another tweak is sliding the wand in and out of the unit while drawing. This allows you to fill the whip up with vape, then remove it to clear it, then reapply it to refill. This method allows for a bigger draws because you're not just drawing straight hot vapor. You should see thick vapor building up in the wand if you're doing it right. Drawing it harder = less vapor.

So, drawing properly is the first trick, the second is the temperature knob. Start with some nice, easy draws with the temp on 35-40%, and every two draws or so, or every round if your vaping in a group, crank the temp up a little bit. I rarely get past 50-55% because I found that with the slow draw technique, you actually start SETTING FIRE to the material around 60% which obviously defeats the purpose of buying a vaporizer (and you will NEVER be able to get the burned taste out of the plastic whip--I ended up ordering another one after making this mistake once).

Another trick is to take the poker and stir the ingredients after every 2-3 draws. Also, taking the wand out and rotating it a little and putting it back in allows different parts of the wand to receive more even heating, maximizing your vaporizing.

Basically, just take it slow and savor your experience--that's why you made the vaporizer investment in the first place, right? I find that by using these tricks and taking it slow, a small amount should produce 6-10 draws of maximum potency vapor. A full (1/3-1/2 full) wand is enough for 4 people to get 3-4 draws each, which should be plenty!!!


Hope I helped! Da Buddha all the way, you won't regret it.

I've had my DBV for 3 weeks now and all I can say is WOW!!!!! I own a couple other different vaporizers and noticed the difference instantly. DBV delivers superior quality and easy to follow directions. Thanx Chad for your quick help with my grinder which arrived 3 days later.

At first, this thing was amazing. However, the whip was too big for the wand, but vapeworld happily replaced it. 4 months later, the ceramic heater began to not doing its job. I had to turn the temperature to its highest setting in order to barely vaporize. On top of this, when drawing, the heater would loose its redness, and in order to get a thick draw I would have to wait for the heater to turn red again. This is a major buzz kill, especially for something I spent alot of money on. In order to fix this, 7th Floor made me pay for shipping, which comes out to be over 20$ for packaging and everything. Honestly, I wish I'd gone with the Extreme.

I,ve been a smoker for years and just got my Da budda Vapoorizer..and wow that is the way to get all your Good experiences..and it works PERFECT..
Thks

Gives you great results and easy to use. Takes only a minute or two to get ready. I would recommend it over all other vaporizers.

This thing is amazing. It is mind boggling when you realize how much is wasted when you use combustion. Da Buddha kicks butt.

Ive had my DBV for around 2 weeks now and I absolutely love it! Very easy to use & setup. Just setup the dial,grab the wand, & slide it in and you're off & vaping. Top quality product delivered with top quality customer service! Ill definitely be buying from Vapeworld from now on.

first off, i got the black unit, and it is powder coated with a neat looking and durable matte textured black, that i think will hold up nice and remain cool looking. it isn't terribly large, and really does get hot and ready to use in 2-3 minutes.. i think that might be my favorite part.. and even though it is hot, the unit itself is only warm to the touch..
the handsfree is a no brainer, and the heat distribution seems to be very balanced.. the 3 yr warranty gives me faith that it the heating element is built to last.. and the rest of the unit is just so strongly constructed, i just cant find anything to go wrong...
on the health aspect, the air passes through glass only. the only thing in the path of the air is the red hot ceramic heating element, which is hot enough to have burned any impurities after about 10 minutes.. so it is vapor, and air.. i like that.
i had read good things, but now i am sold..
on a side note, vape world treated me right, and i would buy from them again..

Wow, this thing is amazing! I haven't tried any other vaporizers before but read and read a ton of information before deciding to buy this particular model.

I don't know if this is a good beginner model but I got the hang of it quickly after understanding the principles and various techniques. Really not a lot to it but it is a preference and feel thing.

Things that stand out to me about this unit are:

- Well made, feels solid and sturdy
- Outside ceramic casing does not get hot, only gets slightly warm with the heat cranked.
- Snug and secure glass to glass connection with the whip and heater cover
- Easy to clean glass connections, just remove and clean with preferred method
- Provides the desired strength and thickness of vapor
- 3 year warranty with the product provides assurance it will last.

The first unit I received had a faulty temperature knob that made the unit difficult to shut off. While this was something that still met performance expectations, Vapeworld agreed it should be replaced sent me out a new Buddha right away.

This thing is awesome. Provides a completely different experience that I have really started to enjoy. Almost too powerful at times. A great investment that I have already forgotten about how much it cost. Well worth it and an amazing purchase and product experience!

Thanks Vapeworld.

I also wrote a review on www.reselleratings.com about my extremely positive experience with this company if anybody is interested. Check it out here:

http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Vape_World#reviews

After reading the one single post about a customer who chose to share his negative experience with Vapeworld.com I was a little skeptical about the company.

I was absolutely wrong to have any doubt in this company! Everything went perfect throughout the whole ordering process. No hassle's whatsoever.

Vapeworld EXCEEDED my expectations. I'll try not to get too in depth with my customer experience but I will express some positive key points that left me a happy customer.

Pros:

- Extremely well packaged
- Obvious care was taken with my order
- Order shipped out same day as payment was made
- Shipment arrived in just 4 business days
- FedEx delivery with detailed tracking
- Impressed with internal packaging
- Delicate items on top with plenty of packaging
- All necessary Buddha contents nicely placed in the carrying case
- Super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable customer service
- Received defective replacement quickly!
- 1st unit recieved had a slight defect and the necessary replacement components were shipped as soon as I contacted the company

Cons:

- NONE
- Poor merchant reputation on Reselleratings.com when it should be the complete opposite. I almost didn't order because of that 1 single review and reputation.

Hopefully my review makes a positive impact on Vapeworld.com because they truly are a legitimate company who exceed expectations of today's business practice.

Thanks for reading.

I <3 Da Buddha.
Works great and incredibly easy to use.
Far better for your health than smoking and conserves a good amount.
Only downside was my free grinder was not included : (

first and foremost, i must thank the salesman who helped me with my order. i placed my order mid-day Thursday, and i got it Saturday morning at the post office. so THANK YOU for making my ordering easy. now Da Buddah itself- it is the greatest thing ever. i should have left it alone this morning cause i had a funeral to go to and i don't think I'm gonna make it now. and the grinder that came with my purchase is awesome too. I'm super glad it wasn't one of them plastic ones. i feel good knowing i can trust a company like yours too. prior to my order, i had thought i ordered one from legalbuds.com- but upon further investigation after2weeks, i came to find out this company is a scam-ripoffreport.com is where i learned about this. could use some more da buddah deacals too.great company you are!

Bought mine over a year ago from the factory, and it has held up well. I would strongly recommend it to anyone.

best investment i've ever made on my hobby. Also found a 10% off coupon and used the extra cash to get express shipping. I ordered it 1pm monday it was there when i got back from class at 4pm on tuesday. AWESOME

I decided after a ton a research to buy a quality vaporizer. I did my homework and everything I read pointed to the Da Buddha. I was not price shopping as I wanted the best whip style unit I could buy. The Buddha is very well made, easy to use and that fact that it's made in the USA and comes with a 3 year warranty was a big plus. The day it arrived I couldn't wait to unpack and start vaping, WOW I now feel I wasted years of smoking it. The Vapor is smooth, tasty and easy on the lungs. If you want a quality product and a fair price this is the unit for you. I think everyone who has tried mine is or have ordered one. It's that good.

This vaporizer is a great deal. The grinder that is included is of high quality too. I couldn't be happier with my purchase!

It only took me 3 sets to find the perfect starting and ending position on the dial, now I'm set for whatever I want to vape.

So far I've tried chamomile which is relaxing and tastes great. Thyme is relaxing too but more mild than the chamomile. My favorite of the aromatic material listed on this site is definitely the lemon balm, EXTREMELY relaxing. There was also some sort of green samplesI found inside a baggie in my backpack. That was the most enjoyable of all; it made me feel great and I ate a TON afterwards.

Also, the free grinder works great it's the best one I've ever had.

Been using it for a few weeks now and its wonderful. Vapeworld is a great place to purchase DB from. Very nice staff, great product, best value around for, imho, the best vaporizer around. Takes hardly anytime to heat up and great on conservation of materials to vape. Whips are the way to go folks..do not go bags. Pal of mine has a Volcano and he likes my DB a lot more, and i have to say I do as well. Bags belong in the bag...

Add to cart and stop spending hours looking online for a good deal because you just found the best deal. Combined with a promo code this is the best value and quality machine online. Good brand Good price

Not only is the DBV one of the best whip style vaporizers on the market, it only comes at a fraction of the price as its upper $200 peers. Not to mention, VapeWorld is one of the only places I can find that sells the black DBV for the same price as the silver, and with all the extras and free shipping, VapeWorld is my only stop for my vaporizing needs.

..."Da Buddha" vape was simple, easy and extremely effective (once you get your temp right which takes only seconds).

This is a great vaporizer. I'm glad I did my research before buying! I use so much less than when I was just burning it.

And the people at Vapeworld were very helpful. There was a very tiny crack in the heater cover, and they're sending me a whole new one free of charge!

My only complaint is that there is a teeny learning curve to using the Da Buddha, but after you figure out your perfect temperature, you're set.

Da buddha is perfect for me. Its very sturdy and has really sweet upgrades and I see it being a lifer . Also, the professionalism at vape world is bar none and that while I'll be a loyal customer for life. Dav
