Herbalizer Vaporizer is now available at The Other Side Vapes!

Herbalizer Vaporizer at The Other Side Vapes



High Tech Engineering
The Herbalizer is the world’s first smartvape™.  Innovative high-tech performance and features previously unimaginable are combined in a powerful, elegant device that is a superstar performer.
Precision Temperature Control
The Herbalizer’s 32MHz 16-bit processor (that’s more than the SEGA Genesis) is tuned with an ultra-fast in-air temperature sensor to instantly regulate 300W of clean halogen energy.  Delivering heat at the speed of light, Herbie maintains temperature to within +/- 5°F, no matter how fast air is drawn.
Purity, Safety
The Herbalizer’s components are inert—meaning, they don’t off-gas or impart flavor. From the quartz halogen bulb, stainless steel airway, and medical grade silicon, we spared no expense in the Herbalizer’s components. All you experience is pure, clean, flavorful vapor.
Beauty and brains, the Herbalizer is all that. Intelligent software monitors usage to prevent overheating, while a tilt sensor will cause the heater to shut down if knocked over, and if you walk away for too long sleep mode is automatically activated—so you can breath easy.
Reliability
Built to last, the Herbalizer stands up to repeated daily use, for years of enjoyment. The Herbalizer’s founders are the real-deal rocket scientists who worked on NASA’s high reliability programs. The same expertise used to guide the Trident II, run supercomputers and keep satellites on track, went into developing the Herbalizer.
Smartvape™ Technology
Designed for top performance with features you’ve come to expect from your smart phone, such as an LCD with auto-dimming, and a 3-axis accelerometer tilt sensor, usage sensing with auto-off, and an incredibly intuitive user interface to name a few.
Easy & Intuitive
Intelligently designed, the Herbalizer’s luxury aesthetic and clamshell housing opens to reveal an intuitive, easy to use interface. Developed with safety and style in mind, the Herbalizer is one smart cookie. No assembly required.
Vaportherapy
The Herbalizer introduces vaportherapy.
The natural evolution of aromatherapy, vaportherapy lets you control the intensity of your experience with accurate heat settings, from 290 – 445°F. Customize the benefits of your favorite herbs, oils, and concentrates through precise extractions and repeatable effects.



Classic Aromatherapy
From relaxation to rejuvenation, create your ideal environment in the Herbalizer’s aromatherapy mode. Set the timer to a few minutes—or an hour, then set the fan to Quiet and enjoy the aromatic benefits of your favorite essential oils.
Need to deodorize? Try the Herbalizer’s DeFunk blend of essential oil (included with purchase), specifically formulated to “get the funk” out. The Herbalizer is the most versatile vaporizer ever created.
Mezzanine Storage
Who knew the mysterious oyster would yield the sublime pearl? Stow your herbs and oils discreetly out of sight in the Herbalizer’s mezzanine storage area located in the upper lid.
Balloon
The Herbalizer’s squeeze valve balloon system is simplicity defined. Squeeze, attach, and fill with pure, flavorful vapor.



Integrated Whip
Convenient and uncomplicated, the Herbalizer’s integrated, medical-grade silicon whip gets an optional boost from a powerful, whisper quiet fan.



Freestyle
Freestyle pure vapor from the Herbalizer’s bowl directly into your environment – no muss, no fuss.

The Zephyr ION Vaporizer is back!!!

It's been about two years since Zephyr Vaporizers was shutdown by US Customs agents, but we are excited to announce that the Zephyr ION Vaporizer is now back on sale!!! Zephyr Vaporizers has won a lengthly legal appeal with the US Government, and has been granted the right to resume operation and the importation of Zephyr ION Vaporizers. 



The Zephyr ION operates by filling a bag or balloon with vapor, similar to the Storz & Bickel Volcano or Arizer Extreme Q Vaporizers. The Zephyr ION features a patented mouthpiece / valve system that is extremely convenient and automatically seals closed when you're not inhaling, preventing loss of vapor. The Zephyr ION Vaporizer is backed by a 2 Year Warranty and sells for $359.

Storz & Bickel Plenty Vaporizer

The Plenty Vaporizer is a new hand-held vaporizer from Storz & Bickel, the makers of the famous Volcano Classic & Digit Vaporizers. The Plenty is made in Germany, and like the Volcano, there are two different voltage versions available, 110 volt or 220 volt.
Below is my initial review that I posted on FC, a popular vaporizer community forum. 
I just got a chance to try the Plenty for the first time and I really loved it. After going through the instruction manual, it was really easy to get setup and going. The flavor was great and heat up time was minimal in my opinion. I had some friends over and found this much, much easier to pass around and share vs. my Silver Surfer. It was nice not having to deal with the wand/whip of the SSV, and we found the Plenty so much easier to use as a group. It was nice not bothering with stirring all the time too, and this didn't seem to affect the performance. I would still say that the SSV tastes better compared to the Plenty, but I believe that the ease in use would make up for it for most people. Perhaps the taste will also improve a bit with my unit once it gets a little more broken in. The only major downside with the Plenty is making sure the bowl is full enough to prevent your herbs from moving around, or having to put the liquid pad in to make up for the extra space. If I'm only trying to vape a little bit, my SSV might be a better choice for me. I was overall extremely impressed with the Plenty, and can't wait to do a little bit more testing on it.

Pros:
Solid build quality
Adjustable temp with temp gauge
Very easy to use (especially with a group of people)
Cool, smooth vapor
No acrylic hoses or glass parts that will need replacement
No chance for herbs to come in contact with heating element
Lightweight
Can rest on table during use without exposing table to hot surfaces.
TÃœV Safety testing ensures a very high grade of safety under operation.

Cons:
Price (somewhat high compared to other vapes with similar low-key tech)
Silver Surfer or Da Buddha Vaporizer will provide better taste & higher efficiency at lower price points (albeit with more hassle)
Is not compatible with worldwide voltages (there are 110v units or 220v units)
Double Helix Cooling Coil looks quite strange, so expect remarks when others see it for the first time

I was planning to sell this vaporizer as used once I was done testing it, but now I'm not so sure... I really like it and will probably keep it, because it was just such a pleasant experience to use.

If you want to learn more about the Plenty Vaporizer, we recommend reading the Plenty Vaporizer thread at FC.
We are currently offering Free Overnight Shipping within the United States on the Plenty Vaporizer, or Free Worldwide Shipping included. The price of the Storz & Bickel Plenty Vaporizer is $349.

Blog Directories

As you can probably see, we're currently in the process of trying to get this blog up and rolling. Only a couple posts on here as of now, but we're going to be putting some more information and reviews on the vaporizers and grinders that we have in our store.

As part of the process of getting our blog setup, we've added our blog to some directories to help gain some exposure. It's been troublesome finding decent resources, so we thought it might be helpful to share a few links to helpful resources for other bloggers out there...

The Inhalater INH004 Portable Vaporizer

The INHALATER INH004 Portable Vaporizer is the newest portable vaporizer on the market and we are proud to be able to offer it in our store! The INHALATER is one of the smallest battery powered vaporizers on the market. The INHALATER is the only portable vaporizer this size that features adjustable temperature control, and is far more robust than comparable vaporizers. The build quality and fit/finish of the INHALATER is equal or perhaps even superior to any other portable vaporizer currently available on the market today.


Inhalater INH004 Vaporizer
The INHALATER operates in a twin heating mode, convection and conduction. Air is routed in a heated space prior to going through the substrate which is itself heated in its container. 
Inhalater INH004 Vaporizer


All heated components are made of health-safe materials. Both the vaporization chamber and capsule are made of Polyimide. Polyimide is an organic resin that exhibit outstanding engineering properties, especially thermal stability, dielectric strength, mechanical strength, temperature stability, and is used in medical devices and high-end technology including NASA Space Orbiters.
Before I got my hands on the Inhalater, my favorite portable vaporizer was the Arizer Solo, however that's definitely no longer the case. Not only does the Inhalater INH004 provide cleaner tasting vapor, but the vapor is thicker than that produced by the Solo. Another way the Inhalater wins over the Arizer Solo is that it lacks the fragile glass mouthpiece stems that are required for use with the Arizer Solo. The Inhalater battery lasts long enough for about 10-20 power cycles of six minutes. The battery is built-in and can be re-charged using the included USB cable and international voltage compatible (100-240 Volt) power adapter. A great feature of the Inhalater is that you can plug the USB cable into any computer or USB compatible charger, and it will provide you INH004 the electricity it needs to get going. Instead of having to buy an expensive power adapter or car charger made specifically for the vaporizer, you can just go to any local electronics store, or even Walmart, and pick one up for about $5!
The Inhalater INH004 Vaporizer is available at The Other Side Vapes for $249. We currently have a special with FREE Overnight Express shipping within the United States, or FREE International Shipping Worldwide! 

We also have Replacement Polyimide Herb Capsules for the Inhalater INH004 Vaporizer for $12.99 each. Two capsules are already included with the purchase of a new Inhalater, however you can add more to your purchase and receive free shipping on the extras!

SharpStone® Grinder & Pollen Press Authenticity Guide

AUTHENTIC SharpStone® Herb Grinders at The Other Side Vapes

It has come to our attention that a number of across the internet are selling counterfeit SharpStone Herbal Grinders and Pollen Presses. These sellers are passing the products off as authentic, and instead selling products that are very low quality, and NOT the real deal. We’ve decided to write a guide that would help those searching for Genuine SharpStone Products. It is also worth noting that SharpEdge is not a new version of the SharpStone Grinder, it is just another knock-off!

There are a number of things wrong with the counterfeit grinders shown above. First, SharpStone no longer uses the ™ symbol on their grinders! All new authentic SharpStone grinders will have a ® symbol, because SharpStone is now a Registered Trademark. However, this rule does not apply on all pollen presses. Standard Pollen Presses will have a ™ symbol, while the T-Shaped Pollen Presses will have a ® symbol. The second problem in the first image is that the logo is white on the counterfeit grinder! SharpStone does NOT use ANY white lettering on their non-clear top grinders. Typically lettering/logos will simply be a lighter shade of the color of the Grinder/Press. The third problem I see with the grinder on the left is that the blue color is extremely bright. Authentic blue SharpStone Products are sort of a silverish/blue color.
These are the same two grinders that were shown in the first two pictures. Notice how few holes are on the counterfeit grinder. Having so few holes in the counterfeit grinder will cause it to clog often. Many of the holes in the counterfeit grinder are also much too large, allowing very large particles to fall through. This leaves the user of the counterfeit grinder with a chunky, poorly ground blend!

In the Reeling Handle Grinder furthest left, there is an obvious problem before even disassembling the unit. Check that it has a ® symbol (NOT ™). While the Reeling Handle is a nice feature, it doesn't work on counterfeit grinders. Within days or weeks, the handle will either seize completely, or the grinder’s teeth will begin rubbing together (leaving metal shavings in your blend!). The Reeling Handle on the SharpStone Grinder is built to handle a great deal of stress/wear. Counterfeits are not built this way, and are constructed of cheap materials.
There are a couple major problems with grinder that is pictured second from the right. First, there are metal shavings in the grinder! I want to make it clear, that there should be NO BURRS OR METALS SHAVINGS in authentic SharpStone Grinders. This a serious health hazard because if these shaving are consumed, they have the potential to cut your mouth, throat, etc. If you buy a SharpStone Product and find any major flaws such as metal shavings, etc. please return the item immediately! Do not even try to use the item to see if it performs okay, it's not worth it. The second problem is that there should be a hole in the middle of the Reeling Handle Grinders, which may not be present on counterfeits.

The picture on the above left is of the bottom of the counterfeit SharpStone Reeling Handle Grinder that was previously pictured. SharpStone NEVER uses white letter on the bottom of their grinders! The picture on the right is of the authentic example. Note that the lettering for the patent is barely visible in this photograph. The proper color of this lettering should ALWAYS be just a shade lighter than the color of the grinder.







When you purchase an authentic SharpStone Grinder or Pollen Press, you should expect to receive a box! If you purchase a Grinder, you should expect to receive a blue bag with this as well!







It is very easy to spot the differences in a fake SharpStone Pollen Press. First, the knurled edges are almost twice as large on the counterfeit grinder as they should be. Second, on both sides of the pollen press (towards the center) you will find two small lines that go around the circumference of the Press. I have never seen a counterfeit Pollen Press that had these lines around the center, so this should be a dead giveaway! You should expect the SharpStone logo to have a ™ symbol on the Presses (instead of ®). The third problem on the counterfeit Presses is that they always have rounded edges. The top and bottom edges of presses are not rounded on genuine presses and should be sharp. The fourth problem on counterfeit presses is that they never have the proper logo color. The logos on Presses should NEVER be white! They will always be a shade lighter than the color of the press.

The pictures above help show the quality difference between a authentic and counterfeit SharpStone Pollen Presses. SharpStone Pollen Presses are extremely high quality products and are manufactured to very high standards. As you can see from the picture below, the same cannot be said for the counterfeit Pollen Presses.
