Why does the Silver Surfer Herbal Vaporizer cost more than the competition?
Very easy, because it is made of the highest quality part available. Wood is cheap unless it is a hard wood, otherwise it expands and contract depending on the humidity. Aluminum and acrylic will not expand and contract like wood. You can drop the SSV and the housing will not break. (warranty does not cover dropping the unit). The heating element is highly engineered. There are different grades of ceramic heaters and the SSV uses the TOP of the LINE. Our heating element is 100% encased in the ceramic coating. Some cheaper elements are not 100% encased. Many of the parts are hand made in the USA. Labor costs in the USA are higher than that of many other countries. You will save money in the long run by not having to get your unit fixed, I promise that.
• THREE YEAR warranty on the Silver Surfer Herbal Vaporizer Unit (not including glass.) Don't worry though, the SSV is designed to last many, many years so you will not even need to use the warranty!
• Features a Ceramic Heating Element
instead of a wire heating element like many cheap model vaporizers out
there. Not only does the SSV contain a ceramic heating element, the
element is made to the highest quality standards in the industry! The
ceramic heating element is the latest technology and best heating
element on the market. This heating element will last much, much
longer, gets hotter faster than all the competition. The element is
fully adjustable from 200°F all the way up to 900°F. The heating
element is actually encased in a ceramic coating. This provides a
longer service life than the conventional nichrome-iron wire elements
that are exposed to the air. The heating element does not become
oxidized then corrode, deteriorate and burn out in only a few months.
• Every SSV purchased directly from us carries a 30 day money back guarantee, this is only the warranty on some units!
• The SSV is ready to vaporize in 1-3minutes. The element is glowing in 30 sec., but the glass part of the heater needs to heat up also.
• Very classy design! The SSV is a work of art! Just look at the beautiful hand blown art knobs making every SSV unique!! There is heart and soul in every SSV. No other unit on the market looks as good as the Silver Surfer.
• Made from High quality parts to last many years. The housing is made from 1/5 inch aluminum that has been anodized to give a harder and nicer finish to last forever. The base is made from 1/4 inch acrylic. The housing and base will last a life time if taken care of just a little. Try that with the competition made of wood. Wood shrinks and expands depending on the humidity level which will have the wood units falling apart after some prolonged use.
• Comes with an extra long 10' power cord. Plug this bad boy any place you want.
• Includes:
- Silver Surfer Vaporizer
- Quick change wand (made from laboratory grade borosilicate glass)
- Borosilicate clear glass mouthpiece
-3/8 inch super soft clear vinyl tubing (food grade)
- 3 replacement screens
- Instruction manual w/ warranty
- 1 custom glass marble/stainless steel stir tool
- Lifetime free service (if anything ever wears out all you have to do
is buy the part to fix the SSV and send us your SSV with enough money
so we can ship it back to you) ($5-$10)
• Hand Made in Colorado Springs, USA.
• Hold the whip at an upright angle instead of a down ward angle!!! No material will fall inside the unit, or heating element!!!
1. Turn on the SSV. There are a few ways to start this out. First one can turn glass marble adjustment knob to full blast for about 2-3 minutes. Then turn the glass marble dial back down to about the 1/3l. Most herbs for aromatherapy and homeopathic healing only need the SSV turned up 2/3. The other way to turn the unit on is to just turn it to your favorite position (you will find this position after use) and wait 3-5 minutes. Either way the unit is very simple to turn on.
2. While the SSV is heating up grind or chop up your herbs (preferably with a herb grinder). Put a little amount of the ground herb in the wand. Being careful not to pack the herb in the wand. Also the wand should only be filled from 1/8"-1/4" of plant material. When you are vaporizing remember less is more. To put the ground herb in the wand you can put it in with your fingers, or suck it up off of a table or dish. Again only filling the wand with 1/8"-1/4" of plant material and not packing in the wand.
3. Gently push the wand up to the hole on the glass heater, there
should be a nice fit when the two pieces of glass come together. While
holding the wand up to the glass heater, begin to inhale. This will
draw air into the heater and warm it up to vaporizing temperatures. The
air passes through the plant matter and warms it up until essential
oils are released as vapor. You can stir your plant material in-between
vapor draws to increase efficiency and consistency. The vapor looks
light white cloud. To empty the wand, turn it upside down and empty
into the trash. Use a pick and/or blow through the mouth piece to get
the plant matter out easier.

This is a really nice vape, but cannot transport it anywhere and use it.

I've had this vaporizer for over a year and it's still the same as when I first bought it. Just like new.

Hands down, the best vape I've ever used. The hits are stronger than Volcanoes and the taste is more intense. If you're a connoisseur of vaporizing, this is the vape to get.

I love this vape. Great engineering, efficient.
Used to use another vape, but this one totally kicks ass.

I love this vape! Heavy duty, easy to carry, easy to use, works wonders! I got this vape from here a couple weeks ago and I've been using it everyday so far.
I noticed that the temp on the dial should be turned little short from max to get the best drags. I usually leave it on to warm up for 5 minutes or so to be sure.
By far best I've used, I actually like it better than for volcano, weird to say. I just personally do not like the bag - balloon type of vapes...

and this is by far the best vap i used so far. love the glasswork on this vape. works very well, heats up VERY quick. Can take nice and slow LONG drags from the beginning. By the 3rd drag, it hits perfectly.
Personally think its way better than vapzilla, box, tower, and vapir

I recommend it for anyone looking for a good vaporizer but dosent have 500 bucks for a volcano. it definitely gets the job done, heats up fast, and the rips are POTENT.
