I want to buy a vaporizer as a gift for a friend who lives in a country where marijuana is totally legal. This friend wants to know what the best _small_ vaporizer is, not some giant unit but one that is relatively portable. Can one of these be had for under $100? He wants to know if some vaporizers get you higher than others. This friend told me to thank you in advance for the advice. ---

Damn, I thought this was a thread about futuristic weapons. It’s just some bloody git trying to get high. Damn. ---

Interestingly enough, according to [Wikipedia,](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_cannabis_by_country) there are no countries where marijuana is totally legal. ---

> [@PSXer](#): > > get him a phased plasma vaporizer in the 40-watt range Hey just what you see pal. I would recommend a Vapor Genie. PSXer’s friend highly recommended one. I’ve never actually tried one, but it’s supposed to be like a pipe with a ceramic bit that you heat with a lighter. ---

He wants to know if some vaporizers get you higher than others. This friend told me to thank you in advance for the advice. I just picked up the Arizer Solo and love it. way better than my old magic flight. ordered from the USA shipped to Switzerland in a week. they got them cheap too, but you have to email about shipping to Europe. cost me an extra $35 to get it to Switzerland and it was still cheaper than buying from the UK. [http://vaporizerforweed.net](http://vaporizerforweed.net) ask for jenny she is great at answering questions fast. good luck! ---
