I have smoked cannabis in one form of another daily for the better part of 15 years. I have tried just about every vaporizer made. Before trying the Flowerpot I had written off vaporizers as a novelty that are slow and lacking punch. Yes, it is an investment and not the cheapest option. If you have the budget for it, I cannot recommend it highly enough. Since getting the Flowerpot I have not used any other way of consuming cannabis. Vgoodiez customer service was perfect and I am highly satisfied.
