Our vaporizer has a name, a website and a youtube video
 

I enjoyed getting to show off our upcoming pocket vaporizer at the recent ASW and AVN shows, but for those who missed it...

The vaporizer has an official name: The DaVinci
It has a new development blog: http://www.davincivaporizer.com
It is also available for pre-sale at http://www.karmaclassic.com/vaporizer/

and I did a quickie youtube video...I apologize for my lack of spokesmodel-like looks and lack of eyebrows...



The unit in the video is a prototype...the final colors will be silver (a la the one I had at the shows), red and black. We're looking at more colors in Q2 and a few other goodies coming out this summer.

It will be available for affiliate promotion on March 1st.

A big thanks to all of the people who gave me feedback at the show, on ICQ, etc. those who got some sneak peeks and those who even got to see it in action...

how come theres no smoke, when i use my vaporizer there is lots of vapor coming out of my mouth and i vape at around 185, am i vaping at too high of a temperature?

The first vape out of the box will sometimes have some smoke.

185 Celsius?
Yeah, too high of a temp. Try temping it down.

In the video I was using regular cigarette tobacco and had to keep it about 280 Fahrenheit otherwise there is some smoke and some harshness.

another nice feature of the DaVinci is it toggles the display between Celsius and Fahrenheit

I have a question and it may be a dumb one.

Why would I use your vape over an e-cig?

I use e-cigs, love them and love the fact they have smoke.

What is the difference?

When i used a volcano I was vaping at 365 degrees. maybe 356 whichever. THe manual recommended that. Is that too high of a temp?

If are vaporing something green then 365F is OK... 338 is the bottom... try that.

A vaporizer is what I used two years ago to stop smoking. :thumbsup

He says tobacco is inside, but it produces no smoke and no smell. This makes it easier to hide.

Great Product :thumbsup

can you buy em in canada? and get nicotine for em in canada?

Ok, so I'm lost here... Is this merely a device for smoking pure tobacco and just producing no smoke, or is this a true to form 'e-cig' that uses nicotine liquid?

Reason I ask is because if you're still burning pure tobacco then it's kind of pointless considering you're still getting all the cancer causing chemicals. And at the end of the day, it's just a more expensive way to kill yourself. Sure, I guess it could be good for indoor use, but then, why not use an 'e-cig' and save yourself from 99% of those chemicals?

Also, I see constant mention of 'safer' and 'healthier' but tobacco is tobacco. treated tobacco is still tobacco and still contains all the chemicals that are added by the tobacco companies.

What research was done? Where's the scientific data that backs these claims? Where's the FDA approval? Without any of the above then all you're doing is giving false information on an expensive product that is still going to kill you.

If I'm misunderstanding your product then disregard this message and accept my apologies.

i thought one could vaporize pure tobacco without health concerns?

Pssst... It's fer weeeeeeeed maaaaaaannnn....:upsidedow

actually, although it'll WORK for weed, I'm betting the market for tobacco use is infinitely larger......

Are you targeting stoners or tobacco users?

Tobacco, even pure tobacco contains many other chemicals than just nicotine. This is why 'e-cigs' only use nicotine liquid... because the nicotine liquid contains only nicotine.. well, and of course propylene/vegetable glycol... but those are harmless and used for adjusting the 'throat hit', the vapor and cutting the nicotine levels.

Sorry but if this thing is using tobacco in plant form then I'll stick with my e-cigs and spend that $200+ on stuff that isn't going to kill me.

no, the pot heads will use it for weed, and it's good for that... but not everyone uses pot. A lot more people smoke tobacco and want a better option, and they want a smarter option in many cases, and possibly cheaper too. they might also use it for weed, but a typical smoker will do 1/2 pack to 2 packs a day, and average of all weed smokers is soo much less that it isn't even close to that. the market for tobaccoo i would think would be larger if you can crack it, and if it does weed too, BONUS

Seems to me that using this thing with tobacco plant matter would pale in comparison to the liquid based e-cigs, but I guess it might be an interesting solution for tobacco smokers who only want to use plant matter and not liquid.

I used tobacco merely as a substance to show how the vaporizer works. I don't have a MMJ card so can't load up MMJ. Nevada has allows medical marijuana so a patient can use a vaporizer to consume.

Vaporizers cam also be used for aromatherapy. Substances such as chamomile and mint can be vaporized.

Vaporizing tobacco is safer than burning it in that it has no carcinogens (unless you start vapong at higher temps). There is also no tar and no ash. That said it's not exactly healthy as eating veggies ;)

vaporizers are perfectly legal to ship to Canada and Europe. We cannot recomend or encourage any particular substance to use in them.

Nice vid, although the next build of the unit could use a more non plastic look and smoother buttons (sounded like a dog training clicker when you were pressing them)

I'll most likely give this a try come mar 1st just for the hell of it! Never had a vape b4

Could you please provide data that supports this claim? Sure, there's obviously no ash, probably no tar.. but tobacco contains many carcinogens. Sure, tobacco smoke contains more but you are falsely advertising this product as "safe" considering tobacco in it's plant form is anything but, smoke or no smoke.

There is a specific reason why 'e-cigs' use liquid nicotine...

Here's a list of chemicals found in your every day smoking tobacco, which I am assuming is what is used in this device:

That's not including the chemicals found in the smoke.

Carcinogens are present at higher temps, but they result from the tobacco being burned. Vaporizers (generally) use convection heating not conduction.

I'm not saying it's healthy, but it is healthier than burning the tobacco leaves. The tobacco was used as an example. Tobacco is also vaporized at a lower temperature: around 280 degrees. If someone vaporized it at say 375, there would be smoke and there would be some carcinogens.

I'm aware of why e-cigs use liquid nicotine ;-)

We were going to go with aluminum fronting on this unit, but it heated up too much and we were concerned with the amount of heat. We didn't want users getting burned or having overheating issues. The back on the final units will be coated with rubberized paint and we're using a stronger grade of plastic for the front of the units. We're also going to use a honeycomb pattern for the vent holes versus the slits on this unit.

There would still be health concerns. Vaping tobacco isn't 100% healthy. It's not a habit we encourage people to take up, however if they are currently smoking traditional cigarettes, we'd encourage them to switch to e-cigs or vaping with a vaporizer to at least cut down on some of the harmful elements.

So why not take your product, which you clearly spent a lot of time creating, and turn it into a device that's not still going to kill you/cause cancer?

Labeling something as 'safer' is just a mislabeled marketing ploy... It's like saying drinking 1 part bleach to 100 parts water is 'safer' than drinking 1 part bleach to 50 parts water.

Please do not compare 'e-cigs' to vaporizing a tobacco plant; because vaporizing is nowhere near as 'safe' as e-cigs. Tobacco is tobacco, end of story. The only thing dangerous about 'e-cigs' is some moron vaping too high of a concentration of nicotine.

There are absolutely no harmful chemicals in liquid nicotine (provided you get it from a reputable source and not some joe making it in his back yard).

With e-cigs, the ONLY things you are taking in to your body are:

nicotine - which is technically a poison if used at too high a concentration and is a diuretic but won't kill you if you're not a moron. There are zero cancer causing chemicals in liquid nicotine.

propylene glycol - which is used to cut higher concentrations of liquid nicotine, and provides the 'throat hit' as well as a small amount of water vapor; and is found in millions of products from food to beauty products, and everything in between.. and is harmless.

Vegetable glycerin - which is used to cut higher concentrations of liquid nicotine and generally mixed with propylene glycol in order to reduce 'throat hit' and produce more water vapor.

A few other ingredients that are found in various flavorings - there are guidelines that explain which flavoring liquids are safe, generally anything that doesn't contain artificial flavoring and food coloring/dye. These flavorings are harmless as well.

I posted a list above of chemicals found in natural tobacco, before it's burned and smoked. There are a lot more that come from the smoke, but the list above is what's found in the plant itself. Not to mention other chemicals used in the growing/harvesting process.

it's used to smoke weed moron.

Anyone who wants to vape...we can't tell users what they can and can't put in their vaporizers. We're working with dispensaries to get our vaporizers into the hands of MMJ users.

I've tested some other aromatherapy matter as well: this morning I used chamomile as a calming agent and it worked pretty well.

We're authoring a list of things that can be vaped and the optimal vaping temperatures to include along with shipped units.

We're also in talks with a couple different labs to develop other aromatherapy uses and flavorings to add to vaporized substances.

good man, i think i have few buyers already :)

I'm not a doctor, but in another life 15 years ago i was a life insurance agent (for 8 years) and what the deal was then, if you smoked cigs or weed, you got smokers rates. But i had a client who smoked weed (and a lot of it, cronic guy) with a vaporizer, and never burnt it, and admitted to it. They did the stats and he signed a paper saying he had not burnt tobacco or weed and inhaled the smoke for 2 years and they gave him non smoker rates...(it was about almost 1/2 cost cause of that too)

so not saying vap is good or bad, but if you vap, the morbidity tables (last the ones from pre 1999 )and data then on it said it wouldn't decrease your expected life span like smoking (burning and inhaling smoke) would

drugs are bad mmmmkay? :)

I don't do drugs, I smoke weed. :winkwink:

Email me and we'll discuss details :)

Thanks for the information

Quit teasing, I wait by the mailbox every day for mine to arrive... and it's fucking cold out so hurry up ;-)

We're still waiting for them from the factory :)

We had a few changes to make with the internal components and a couple minor design features to change...but it's going to be rocking.

We'll also be showing it at the CHAMPS show this month and at the BIG Show next month.
