A vaporizer is a device commonly used to release medicinal drugs from plant material, although it can also be used for tobacco or to release certain therapeutic compounds from herbs and other plants, a practice now commonly known as phyto-inhalation (also know as aromatherapy).

For medical or recreational cannabis users, vaporizing is an alternative to smoking. Rather than burning the plant material, a vaporizer heats it enough (typically around 180 degrees Celsius) so that the psychoactive and medicinal constituents contained in the plant’s oily glandular secretions melt and phase into an aromatic vapor that does not contain the particulate matter (tars) found in the smoke.

With less or no smoke formed, and a cooler temperature (hot dry vapor has been demonstrated to still irritate the throat and upper respiratory tract), the irritating or harmful effects of smoke and associated intoxicants are greatly reduced or even eliminated.

Yes, the Volcano Vaporizer is the most expensive vaporizer on the market, but there are many great and valid reasons as to why this is the case. So let’s ask why this is the Mercedes-Benz of vaporizers?

1. Top-quality material and craftsmanship. It’s German engineering at its finest. You think the Germans are good at manufacturing cars? Then take a look at the Volcano Vaporizer.

2. Valve technology – Unlike any other vaporizer out there, the whole concept behind the Volcano Vaporizer is to separate the inhaling device from the actual vaporizer components. With the Volcano Vaporizer, you can detach the balloon and inhale at your own leisure.

3. 3-year warranty. – The manufactures are so confident in their craftsmanship; they offer a 3 year warranty on any mechanical malfunctions. Find another vaporizer manufacturer that offers that kind of support!

4. You can’t burn your herbs – The Volcano Vaporizer doesn’t go above 450 degrees, so burning your herbal products is next to impossible.

5. Unmatched Temperature control – The dial on the Volcano Vaporizer allows you to adjust the temperature at will. Low-end vaporizers only have one heat setting, which means you’re stuck with the same temperature no matter what you’re vaporizing.

6. Patented Technology – The technology behind the Volcano Vaporizer is so unique, and ahead of its time, it’s one of the few, if only, vaporizers protected by a patent.

7. Incredible Safety – The Volcano Vaporizer has already gained reputation among experts as the most technically advanced and professional vaporizers available. Precision, reliability, and safety are the reasons the Volcano Vaporizer was built.

Just by those seven reasons alone, you can see why so many people are using the Volcano Vaporizer as their selected choice for many great reasons. Outside of the price, you will save on your herbs and aromas as well as the amazing health benefits this product can give anyone who uses it over other traditional methods.

Next to cell phones, MP3 players are the must have, hot product everyone wants to own. There are lots of great players available, but how do you know which one is right for you? Here are some tips that will help you make the right decision before purchasing an MP3 player.

Tip #1 – Type of MP3 Player – There are basically four types, flash, hard drive, micro hard drive and CD based players.

Flash players are small, have a memory chip built-in, and are more durable with no moving parts, which mean they will not skip a beat during sports activity or running. Because of their compact size, space is limited to 4gigs or less depending on the model you choose. iRiver, SanDisk and Creative MuVo are three popular brands of flash memory players.

Hard drive players are great for anyone who wants to take their entire library worth of music with them. Featuring high capacity storage ranging anywhere from 4gigs to 60gigs of hard drive space. With so much disk space available, you can also store data files, pictures and video, allowing for true portability.
Unlike flash players, hard drive players are larger in size, cost more and have more movable parts, which may not make it idea for physical activity. Popular among the brands are Apple Ipod, Creative Zen Vision, and Wolverine MVP models.

Additionally you can opt for an micro hard drive player. Micro MP3 players are a cross between a flash and a regular hard drive player. Max storage capacity is usually 8gigs, have a miniature hard drive, and are light weight and compact. These players still have movable parts and some models include non-removable re-chargeable batteries.

CD MP3 players are similar to CD players, except they can read data CD’s. Capacity is the same size as a CD which is 650mbs, and the music needs to be burned. They can also play standard CD’s.

Tip #2 – Digital Format – Not all players support every music format but should play the standard mp3, wma, wav formats. For additional audio format, look for players that support aac, asf and ogg. Not stopping at audio format, you may also have a need to view video formats such as mp4, mov, wav, avi, and flash. To get the most out your purchase and enjoy your favorite digital pictures, look for models that support picture formats such as jpeg, gif, tiff and png. Flash Players such as Creative Zen, iRiver Clix, and Cowan iAudio can display text documents.

Tip #3 – Battery Life – Next to storage capacity, battery life is probably the most critical consideration with MP3 players. Options include standard batteries (AAA or AA type batteries) or rechargeable batteries. With standard batteries, you can easily replace them when needed, while some rechargeable models are non-removable lithium-ion batteries, and typically last two to four years. Since flash players need to be synced more often, recharging occurs as you sync. For larger players, battery life is usually longer but may not always be the case. Make sure you inquiry about battery life for those models.

Tip #4 – Features – With the capability to view video and photos, bright color screens with image display are usually a favorite among buyers. Voice recording with built-in or optional voice recorders, let you record seminars or meetings. Want to listen to other music, some models include an FM tuner for listening and recording (mp3) radio stations. Players such as Apple iPOD and Creative Zen line allow for personal information management options such as phone books and calendars that can synchronize data between desktop applications and the player.

Other features to consider: advanced playback features such as shuffle, repeat, resume, and playlist functions. Newer models now offer the ability to create on the fly playlists, smart playlist for grouping songs in shuffle mode and automatic volume control that makes songs play at the same volume. Don’t forget about music search and sort options to find songs.

Tip #5 – Connectivity Options – Most if not all MP3 players support USB 2.0. Other connectivity options you may want to consider is Firewire, audio and line inputs. Some next-generation models include Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth capabilities.

Tip #6 – Functionality – Don’t just consider bells and whistles when looking for the right MP3 to purchase. Functionality is usually what makes MP3 players stand apart from each other. Test drive each player and notice how easy or hard it is to navigate the menus. Do the buttons feel cheap or easy to press? Is the screen display sufficient in bright light? Is it compact enough for daily or sport activity? What accessories are available for the player?

No matter what model you choose, an MP3 player will be a great addition to your entertainment hardware!

In the mobile industry, the hand phone operating system (OS) is currently being dominated by Apple’s iPhone. The Apple iPhone is still the leading OS in the marketplace, with no sign of slowing down. In fact, other competitors like RIM, WinMO, Palm and Symbian have all posted southward trends. If there is no new player entering the market, it seems like the iPhone OS is set to take over the entire market.

The primary reason behind iPhone’s huge success is that the OS allows third party applications to be installed in the phone. These applications are developed by third party software developers, and distributed through the Apple’s official website. Having an open platform allows developers to respond quickly to consumers’ requests. There is no need to wait for Apple to release apps. Based on the feedback received, developers can release useful applications in a matter of weeks. So far, no other OS has been able to match this capability. To date, the Apple iPhone has already captured an estimated 50% market share.

Fortunately, there is a new player in town – the Android OS. This new contender in the marketplace is developed by Google, and is based on a similar open concept. Developers can develop apps using managed code in Java. As Java is a mature programming language, many developers will have little problems picking up the development work. While the Android OS is still far from overtaking the iPhone, it is catching fast. In fact, it is the only mobile OS to have posted an upward trend (besides iPhone of course). In just a few short months, it has captured a market share of 5%.

As this is a new OS, only HTC has released Android supported phones – namely, the G1. Since the G1 phone is a new release, it is mainly used to gather information from the market place. Consumers who have picked up the phone are providing priceless feedback to the company. Based on the feedback, the next generation of the Android phone is currently being developed (the G2). Enthusiasts in the blogosphere are watching the developments very closely. So far, a lot of interest has been shown in the development of the Android phone.

This new development poses exciting possibilities. Other mobile companies would be keen to manufacture Android phones so that they remain relevant and competitive in the marketplace. Samsung and Sony Ericsson are both rumored to be working on Android phones. China telecommunications giant, Huawei Technologies, already announced that they will be releasing an Android phone for the Chinese market in the third quarter.

It will be interesting to observe the developments when more and more companies start to manufacture Android phones. Will iPhone be threatened in the marketplace? How will consumers choose between the iPhone and the Android phone? Much depends on the applications developed by the third party developers. The OS with the most active platform will eventually emerge as the winner.

You’re spending a relaxing afternoon reading an e-book on your new Kindle 2 e-book reader and the thought strikes you – “I need to check my e-mail to see if I’ve heard back from my daughter!” Now normally that means that you have to stop reading, put down your Kindle, and check your e-mail account on your computer. But, if you have a Gmail account you can read and respond to e-mails right on your Kindle!

First, go to your Kindle’s built-in basic web browser (Home > Menu > Experimental > Basic Web). Next, make sure that Javascript for your Kindle’s browser is turned on (Browser > Menu > Settings > Enable Javascript). Finally, go to the Gmail Internet address (Browser > Menu > Enter URL > www.gmail.com), enter your Username and Password.

IMPORTANT – use the standard Gmail URL and not the Google URL provided by default in the Kindle’s bookmark folder. If you try to access your Gmail from the URL provided in your Kindle you will be prompted to load a Google Gmail application. Applications cannot be loaded onto your Kindle so this will fail – you need to use the URL provided above to be able to use your Gmail account.

Are you a Twitter user? If you’d like to send a “Tweet” to your friends and followers about the great new book your reading on your Kindle you can do it right from your Kindle. This popular microblogging service offers a mobile version that works great on your Kindle.

Go to your Kindle’s built-in basic web browser (Home > Menu > Experimental > Basic Web). Next, make sure that Javascript for your Kindle’s browser is turned on (Browser > Menu > Settings > Enable Javascript). Finally, go to the Twitter Mobile URL (Browser > Menu > Enter URL > www.m.twitter.com), enter your Username and Password.

IMPORTANT – The standard Twitter URL is too complex for your Kindle to display properly. Use the URL above for best results on your Kindle. Have you ever wanted to “save” a page you were reading to share with a friend? The Kindle has two different ways to do this. The first way is to take a screen shot of the page you wish to share. To take a screen shot hold down the and the keys then press the “G” key. You will notice that the Kindle screen will “flash” showing that the Kindle created the screen shot.

The screen shots are stored in your Kindle’s “documents” folder as image files with a .gif extension. You can get them by plugging your Kindle into your computer using the USB cable that you got with your Kindle. Open “My Computer” and look for the Kindle drive icon. Double click on the icon to open up your Kindle and then double-click on the “documents” folder. Look for files that end with .gif and you’ll find the screen shots you just made.

To share them with your friends you can save the files to your computer and then attach them to an e-mail message. You also can print-out the screen shots by opening them in a graphic program such as Windows Paint or Windows Internet Explorer. The quality is not great – but is certainly acceptable for sharing several pages.

There is another way to capture and share passages from Kindle e-books. When you highlight passages from Kindle e-books and make notes your Kindle saves them to a file in the “documents” folder called “My Clippings.txt”. You can open this file with a program like Windows Notepad and copy your highlights to save in another program or share.

To do this, go to the passage you wish to share. Move the Kindle cursor to the beginning of the passage you want to save and click the navigation button. Now move the cursor to the end of the passage you want to save and press the navigation button again once all of the text is highlighted. This will save the highlighted text to the “My Clippings.txt” file.

Plug your Kindle into your computer then look for the Kindle icon in “My Computer.” Double- click on the Kindle drive icon then double-click on the “documents” folder. Locate the “My Clippings.txt” file and double-click on it to open it in Windows Notepad. Find the text you highlighted on the Kindle. It should be at the bottom of the file. You can copy the text and paste it into a program like Microsoft Word to save it. Or you can copy and paste the text into an e-mail message.

Up to now we’ve been talking about text – now let’s talk about graphics. If you haven’t noticed, your Kindle 2 offers the ability to enlarge graphics so you can actually see them! To do this simply move your cursor over the graphic and it will change to a magnifying glass. Press the navigator button and your Kindle will zoom-in on the image so that it fills the Kindle’s screen. This is very handy when you are reading books with technical graphics or screen shots. The Kindle 2’s screen is enough better quality that these graphics are worthwhile reviewing as you read through your books. To return to the original page view, press the button or the button.

Congratulations! Now you can use your Kindle 2 to check your Gmail, Twitter, take screen shots to save or share, save or share passages from Kindle e-books, and make graphics in your e-books more relevant by using the Kindle’s “zoom” feature.

Many of today’s biggest music fans have invested in the sleek accessibility that comes with an mp3 player, listening to their favorite tunes on the way to work, school, or wherever they may need to go. The most popular of these mp3 players is undoubtedly the Apple iPod. Apple has several iPods for consumers to buy, including the all-new iPod Touch. In order to make listening even more convenient for consumers, many companies are coming out with iPod accessories, such as specialized speakers, handy carrying cases, and a variety of sleeves and covers to choose from that make a normal iPod become an individualized source of entertainment. Perhaps the most popular accessories being bought today, though, are iPod car adapters. Apple has come out with its own car adapters to choose from, but many companies are coming out with their own car adapters compatible to the Apple iPod. One of the most recent on the market is the DICE iPod Integration kit.

One of the biggest advantages of having a DICE iPod Integration kit in your car is the accessibility and usability. It not only works with your iPod, but also several other brands and types of mp3 players as well. So if you haven’t invested in an iPod yet, but you’re interested in the DICE kit, you may not have to run out and buy a Shuffle or a Nano. You may be able to use the mp3 player you already have.

Another great feature of the DICE iPod kit is that you can control it from your car stereo, your iPod controls, your steering wheel (depending on your vehicle), or any combination of the three. You get to choose which method of control is easiest for you while you’re focusing on the road. And if they all work for you, it’s just as easy to use all three.

An incredible advantage to using a DICE kit is the quality sound it offers in the comfort of your car. The sound has been described by the manufacturers and their consumers alike as being CD-quality and better. That high-quality sound will continue on in your car for as long as you listen, because the DICE kit also charges your iPod or other mp3 player automatically, using your car’s battery. In addition, if you have a vehicle with a video screen on the dash, you may be able to get video from your iPod to your car. Although it isn’t recommended that you drive while watching a video feed from your iPod, your passengers can enjoy the show. You can also pull off to the side of the road and watch a movie, taking the opportunity to relax during a long and perhaps tiresome road trip.

Although the DICE iPod Integration kit is an advantageous investment for many consumers, there are other options for music lovers to choose from. Apple sells its own iPod car adapters, and there are many other companies that sell car adapter kits to work with virtually any type of mp3 player, so you won’t likely have a hard time finding the right one for your vehicle.
