Vaporizer Price: $201 - $300

Vaporizer Type: Forced Air Vaporizer • Digital Vaporizer

Vaporizer Manufacturer: unknown

Fuji Vaporizer Overview

The Fuji Vaporizer is manufactured in China and was introduced to the Vaporizer Market in 2008.

The Fuji Vaporizer is a very poor knock off of the Classic Volcano Vaporizer by Storz & Bickel.

The outer shell of the Fuji Vaporizer is made of cheap plastic, along with other components inside the unit that could lead to melting after extended use.

A soldering iron is used as the main heating element, which is very unstable and can melt the plastic components as well as release other harmful elements.

Fuji Vaporizer Ease of Use

I was unable to operate this unit and achieve proper vaporization during the testing process. A Digital Display and rotary set temperature knob on the front of the Fugi Vaporizer inaccurately shows the Vaporization Temperature.

The control light said that this unit was ready to use at 360 degrees Fahrenheit. However, I was not able to produce a Vapor without turning the unit up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit; this caused a “plastic fume” taste to be accompanied with the light vapor.

Fuji Vaporizer Heat up Time

A long warm up time of 10 minutes is expected for the Fuji Vaporizer.

Fuji Vaporizer Efficiency / Effectiveness

The Fuji Vaporizer does not produce a consistent vapor flow. I managed to achieve sub-par Vapor after setting the temperature to the highest setting on the rotary dial.

Fuji Vaporizer Warranty

Each Fuji Vaporizer comes with no manufacturer backed warranty, once the unit fails, users will have to spend more money on another unit.

Fuji Vaporizer Overall Satisfaction

The cheap construction, sub-par Heating Element, and overall poor quality make the Fuji Vaporizer, one of the most unattractive unit’s available on the Vaporizer market.

I would not recommend this Vaporizer to anyone serious about buying a quality unit.

The materials are inferior to the Volcano’s construction in all aspects.

This vape was much lower in cost then the volcano so i thought wed try it out. It was pretty easy to set up and looked like good quality however when we used the unit it did not produce any vapor! It used more of the blend then it produced vapor. Buy at your own risk.

Please do not buy! I didn't even buy the unit and I know its horrible! A friend of mine recently purchased this unit after he used my Extreme vaporizer. He must have fell the the low price, but he learned that you really do "get what you pay for." We tried using the unit as his house and we had some issues. First, the unit smells horrible. The cheap material that it is made out of starts to melt when the unit starts to heat up, and it release a horrible smell. Second, the vapor actually taste like this smell! After filling the bag up, we started using it and we very unhappy with the taste. Simply put, please do not buy this unit. It pretty much embarrasses the vaporizing community. Please dont buy this

Terrible

I can't believe i bought this junk. First off i bought this vape thinking it was going to be like the Volcano, ITS NOT. I've had it for about 2 days and the vape it produces is horrible it taste like plastic, probably because the whole vape is made out of some cheap plastic. Hopefully the shop i bought this from will take it back. I need to get a Volcano.

The Fugi is a fiasco

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful

I recently started living in my dorm room and some of us wanted to go in on a vaporizer to enjoy ourselves without letting people in our dorm to know what we were up to. I immediately voted for the volcano, another wanted something smaller like an easy vape, but 2 wanted to go with the fugi. They said it's just like the volcano, but better because it's cheaper. I told them I will just save my money because I heard they were cheap. I'm so glad I held back. That so called vape is made of a cheap as plastic and I tried it and it tasted like crap. For vapor it should not have that cheap hot plastic bad popcorn taste! The worst part for these idiots is that the spot they got it from wouldn't let them return it even to spend more money. It was like the store wanted that piece of junk out of there store as well. I'm just trying to let you guys know this vaporizer is not worth your time or your money.

Fuji: The Fugly Faux-Volcano

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful

This unit almost single handedly made me lose my faith in humanity. At first glance, I was hit with an elated feeling, because the concept of there being an affordable Volcano was enough to make me believe in a higher power. But low and behold after the first test run with it, my high spirits were tanked and devastated faster than the Hidenburg. Apon closer inspection, it was apperant that the exterior of the unit was forged by some cheap plastic im sure was outlawed at the turn of the century. The "heated", air emited from the unit would do well to cool me off on a mild Californa summer day. And the vapor quality could be placed somewhere between the air around you and the steam coming off a cup of hot chocolate. Dismal at best. So please, if you take only one piece of advise if your lifetime, don't get this unit. Don't even recommend it to someone you have nothing but distain for. To push this on someone else would be an unforgivable sin.

First let me start by saying that I cant believe gotvape sponsors a site with this horrible vaporizer on it. I tried this at a buddies house after I purchased my volcano. This thing has no comparison to the Volcano. The Vape had a horrible taste infact I thought I was vaping plastic. It looked new age so I thought it should be stomping out the volcano but was very dissapointed. I would only suggest this to someone to give as a gag gift to a buddy who really wants a Volcano. But to the manufacturer all you need is a couple tweeks new design and you might have something. Good Luck with this one.

Fugi??? Isn't that a Cheap Camera?

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful

This Vape was one of the worst Vapes I have ever purchased. I went into a Smoke shop looking for a Volcano. This is the Vape the shop put me onto. It was a good price so I thought I had got hooked up. People were telling me that the price is in the $500's and when I got this for the Low $300's I thought it was a steal so I jumped at it. I was having issues using the vape so I went online for help and then to my realization I had found out that this was a knockoff of the Volcano. I felt like an idiot. So I tried to make the best of it and use the vape but it would not do anything for me. All I could taste was plastic which made me want to gag. I went and sold this vape to my buddy for a Bill. He was stoked even though it was not the actual Volcano. After about a month of use my buddy told me that it just died out and would not work again. So if anyone is reading this please do not make the same mistake I made. DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!!!!!!!

I tried the Fugi vaporizer because I test most of the units. It looked very sharp however the taste was not good. Just the quality of the unit was a disappointment and it did not work anything like the volcano. If you don’t have the money to buy the volcano buy the extreme not this.

JOKE

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful

This unit is a joke. It takes far too long to heat up and the vapor tastes like plastic. I purchased this unit and was completely disappointed. It was a complete waste of my money. It could barley fill up the bag in a ten minute period. This unit is a cheap knock off of the volcano. The only reason any one would buy this heap would be because of how similar it looks to the volcano. DON’T DO IT! You will be extremely disappointed just like me. 

DO NOT BUY!

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful

The Fuji is a very horrible unit. my freind has a Volcano, and I was very pleased with using it. For Xmas, he was nice enough to purchase one for me. I was very grateful, but I was not impressed. The unit was plastic, which made the vapor somewhat plasticy. The unit is a total knock off. Do not purchase

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is a jooke! My friend bought one because he was just too cheap to buy anything better, total knock off. They tried to make the same parts that the Volcano uses and it failed miserably!!

I personally use the Extreme and had told him to buy that vaporizer, but he found some deal on this piece of you know what, he was stoked to show me and was heating it up & the damn thing melted!!! I am not just talking about a little plastic, it melted and changed shape to a lowered bumpy lump of plastic!!

What a piece ------- to Whoever made that - YOU SUCK!!

Ummmmm it was Okay

1 of 2 people found the following review helpful

I found this vaporizer at a local tobacco shop where I live and for the price I couldn't resist getting it. It looked like a Volcano which tipped me off that it was a cheap knock-off from China. Looking inside, it proved to be from China and made out of plastic instead of metal. I was a little worried it wouldn't work well and was hesitant to buy it, even at a great price. I did a little research online about it and found actual owners saying it was a great vaporizer, despite it being a knock-off and plastic and made in China.

So, I took the plunge. I can say every honest review from owners is absolutely correct. It takes a while to warm up, which if anything will teach you a bit of patience. 15 minutes isn't very long to wait, just make sure you give it enough warm up time. That will make the difference in a good bag full of vapor or not. Also don't trust the dial. I started off at 268 and calibrate based on produced vapor. Which is also dependent on the freshness of the herb.

The Fuji should have never been created

0 of 1 people found the following review helpful

Hands down, one of the worst vaporizers ever created.

Don't buy it, if you already have it get rid of it and save up for a Volcano Vaporizer!

The Fuji is meant to fail due to inadequate parts and it is a complete knock off!
