Vapir NO2 Vaporizer

California-based manufacturer Vapir has been leading the vaporizer charge for over a decade now, and they truly broke the mold with the iconic NO2 Portable Vaporizer. This is a stylish handheld vape that uses a convection current to provide real vaporization of aromatic materials , not combustion as so many other portable “vapes” result in. You might have heard of country music legend Willie Nelson? Well this is his vaporizer of choice. That’s right. The NO2 keeps friends in High Places. Here’s a few reasons why:

HOW DOES IT WORK?

First, it’s important to either charge the internal battery of the NO2 or have it plugged into a wall outlet or vehicle adapter. Either method will work as the NO2’s brass pure heating element is able to retain a full charge for up to 4 hours of continual use. Simply grind up 2-3 pinches of your favorite flower in a metallic grinder. Thorough grinding ensures optimal airflow through the material al chamber, which maximizes the amount of ingredient extraction and vapor production occurring inside. After you’ve loaded the chamber, close the top and select your desired heat. Once the NO2 beeps it will show your selected temperature and at this point you will know that the ceramic heating element is engaged and the materials are ready for inhalation. Then simply sip gently on the plastic draw tube for 8-10 seconds and enjoy clouds of clean, healthy vapor!

SIZE & DESIGN

The Vapir NO2 Vaporizer measures about 7 inches high (10 inches with the tube attached) and weighs roughly 2 pounds. It looks kind of like a shake-weight or thermos, but features a flexible straw and an aerodynamic exterior that say “this is something different entirely.”

WHAT’S SO GREAT ABOUT THE NO2?

The Vapir NO2 has gained universal acclaim as an ideal vaporizer for those who are new to the practice as well as for vapor aficionados, who praise the clean extraction and full-flavored vapor that the NO2 produces. It is virtually noiseless, which makes it a very useful and discreet way to enjoy material al aromatherapy either at home or on the road. What’s more this portable vape does a superb job of cleanly extracting the essential ingredients from the chosen materials without even approaching combustion.

Another thing we love about the NO2 is how easy it is to use and integrate into your daily life. The ability to charge either in a wall outlet or car jack (Car Charger sold separately), makes this handheld vape extremely versatile. It’s shaped like a futuristic Nalgene bottle and features a digital temperature readout on the front of the device. It’s easy to load, set your temperature and take the NO2 with you wherever you want to enjoy your flowers: concert, beach, or on a hike. And get this: the NO2 has a smart temperature memory system so you can set a preferred temperature and the NO2 will automatically heat to that setting every time until you tell it not to. This takes out all the guess work and makes it an ideal choice for people who are not familiar with portable vaporizers. The top unscrews easily to reveal the robust material chamber and one load is good for up to 20 draws, which is why this stalwart of the industry is still one of the best portable vapes available. Vapir cares about their consumer’s satisfaction; that’s why they guarantee every NO2 with a 1-Year Manufacturer’s Warranty on the Heating Element and Internal Electronics (not the rechargeable battery).

WHAT DO TOP CRITICS SAY?

Bud at VapeCritic adores the NO2 for its ease of use, heating time and vapor quality:

“So, overall, I really like this vape. It’s good for beginners. It’s good for experts, and anywhere in between. It’s inexpensive. So, I definitely give it two thumbs up, if you’re thinking about trying it.”

Adam Frucci from Gizmodo recommends the Vapir NO2 Portable Vaporizer saying it equals the legendary Volcano Vaporizer in vapor quality:

“The vapor it produces is smooth and flavorful, exactly as advertised. There's no real discernible difference between the vapor from the Vapir and the vapor from the Volcano, at least that I could notice. The temperature is presumably more stable with the Volcano, but I'm not sure how big a deal that is. Perhaps the subtleties are best left to the connoisseurs… And at $179, it's a fraction of the price of a Volcano, which can run you upwards of $700.And hell, you can't take a Volcano on a picnic, now can you?”
