Vaporizer Type: Digital Vaporizer • Hands Free Vaporizer

Vaporizer Manufacturer: Arizer

V-Tower Vaporizer Overview

The V-Tower is manufactured by Arizer in Canada and was introduced to the market early in 2008.

The V-Tower is a Hands Free Vertical Style Vaporizer with a Center Punch Ceramic Heating Element that utilizes a direct inhalation system with Exact Temperature Control.

V-Tower Vaporizer Ease of Use

I found the V-Tower operation to be very user friendly. The learning curve is basic, allowing both novice and expert users to reach similar positive results while vaporizing.

A LCD temperature display shows both the actual and desired temperature of the unit in either Fahrenheit or Celsius. Once the desired temperature was achieved, I noticed a dense layer of vapor with each draw. Here are the additional features that make the V-Tower stand out from other vertical based vaporizers.

This Hands Free Vertical Style Vaporizer uses a Vertical Air Flow concept. With this innovative concept, The V-Tower produced a vertical stream of heat, making this vaporizer highly effective with only a minimal amount of temperature loss.

The Center Punch Ceramic Heating Element of the V-Tower acheives greater efficiency by maximizing the amount of air flow through the unit. The Cyclone Receptacle suspends your substance elevated above the ceramic heating source, this allows for a more efficient air flow stream through your blend.

The V-Tower features a Ground Glass Cyclone Receptacle complete with a patented 360 degree swivel design whip that is a breakthrough in vapor whip technology.

The Swivel Action Ground Glass Connection design is capable of rotating 360 degrees while on the Cyclone Receptacle. This added flexibility allows you to rotate the whip around with complete freedom and no restrictions.

V-Tower Vaporizer Heat Up Time

The average Heat-Up time is between 3-4 minutes. The V-Tower allows for the optimal Vaporization level to be achieved quickly with a temperature range that goes from 104 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, which is viewable on the LCD display.

The V-Tower takes approximately 2 minutes to complete the cool down process.

The V-Tower is also equipped with an automatic shut off feature, allowing users to set the timer for up to 4 hours.

V-Tower Vaporizer Efficiency/Effectiveness

The V-Tower vaporizes in a very thorough manner. A dense, visible Vapor is produced while drawing from the unit. The ground glass cyclone receptacle allows enough airflow for the matter to be vaporized, extracting the essential oils at an optimal level.

V-Tower Vaporizer Warranty

Each V-Tower Vaporizer comes with lifetime warranty that is restricted to normal use for the heating element and LCD display. All of the replacement parts can be purchased separately for a nominal fee.

V-Tower Vaporizer Overall Satisfaction

With all of the V-Tower’s unique capabilities such as the 360 degree Swivel ground glass whip, aromatherapy dish, and sleek insulated stainless steel dual wall housing, the V-Tower Vaporizer is highly recommended for those who want a quality direct inhalation vaporizer for a reasonable price.

This vaporizer is a good unit to buy if you cant find the buddha. I was looking for the buddha but it was out of stock. I bought this unit because it looked similar and had the same vertical heating element. It also has a lifetime warranty.

I F'in Love my V-Tower!!!!

6 of 6 people found the following review helpful

Pros:

* Cheaper than V-Tower
* Heats Fast
* Fucks You Up
* Better Health
* Cheap!

I smoke a lot. 2oz a week or so. I smoked a lot of joints, blunts and the bong before I bought my V-Tower and I was *highly* (pun intended) skeptical. $200 is a lot of money for me! I researched, quite literally, for a year before I decided on and saved up the money for my new 'toy'. I found that ceramic heating elements were best, that cool-touch was possible. That digital temp displays seemed to be less erratic. That I, personally, didn't want a bag option. That off-name/no-name brands are a bad idea. I was so, so nervous when I finally ordered. What if it got here and I hated it? What if it tasted bad, or, most importantly, didn't get me as stoned?

Couldn't have been more wrong. I find that inhaling slowly is best. My wife and I actually sit around with the stopwatch app on my phone and see how long we can inhale continuously. If you slow it way, way down and focus you can inhale for nearly a minute. Jesus. Talk about stoned. Even with just normal hits, this thing will mess you up. I mean giggly messed up, which I don't get often. I've also noticed a DEFINITE increase in my lung capacity. My breathing is so much better since I've quit smoking. I have more energy. The taste is incredible. You also use a lot less. We have gone from 4oz a week to 3, and we did not cut back. Your clothes don't smell like smoke anymore either!

I was also worried that it would be a pain in the ass, ie: taking too long to heat up. Getting too hot. Needing to be turned off/cooled down for long periods of time. Be a hassle to "share". Be a hassle to take with you. None of these things were true. It heats up in about 10 minutes. (I've found 380-390F to be my optimum temp, but when I'm just leaving it on for the occasional toke while I clean, 360ish is great, it won't vape on its own) Anyhow, I digress. 10 minutes to heat up. I honestly leave mine on all day. The unit is completely cool-touch, doesn't even warm the coffee table I set it on. I had it on a pot-holder (another pun? perhaps.) for the first month and was really over-cautious, but wasn't necessary at all.

The bowls last awhile, I find they last longer than a typical bong-bowl before needing to be refilled. Refilling is easy, fast (I can repack a bowl in about 30 seconds). The stir tool they include is great.

The screens are easy as pi to clean, just brush them with a toothbrush and some rubbing alcohol, rinse well and voila! Ready to vape cleanly again. I find, toking heavily, that I need to clean a screen once every 2-3 days. The screens can stand up to about 4 or 5 cleanings before you'll need to replace them. They are $5 online for 2 screens. They do not use "standard" screens that can be easily found, so order them before you need them!

The whip is fairly easy to clean, needs to be done every 2 weeks or so. Less if you're a clean freak. The glass ends can be cleaned with alcohol but use vinegar/baking soda to clean the tubing. The whip with the glass ends can be replaced for about $15 online.

This unit does have a portability option. You can buy a battery pack online for $99. I haven't gotten this yet, but am planning to soon.

Anyhow, that's about it for me. I feel like I just typed a freaking novella. Peace, ya'all, happy toking! For $200, this is the best thing that ever happened to me! I love Mary Jane, and my V-Tower has taken that to a new level! Paid for itself in the first 2 months.

Enjoy!

PS: We named ours The Commodore.

I got this vaporizer a few years ago after I tried the Aromed because it seemed like a great alternative. It has been such a great friend to me. It has been reliable, efficient and super durable. I've dropped it before and it still works great. I am so glad that I made this purchase.

Strong Unit

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

The Arizer V Tower was actually a gift from one of my friends. He recently upgraded to the Extreme, so he was nice enough to give me his V tower. I currently own a Volcano and NO2, so I have never owned a unit that used a glass whip. I got home, grinded up my herbal blend, loaded the cyclone bowl, and started vaping. I was very happy with the quality of the vape, as it was very clean and visible. The heat-up time of the unit was very quick, so you can start vaping ASAP. Overall I am very happy with the unit, and would certainly say buy this unit. Although it is not a forced air unit, it is still a vary strong hands free unit.

Great Unit

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

This was my first vaporizer. I've had it for almost 2years now and I still use it.
The Pros of this unit are: It heats up very quickly, under 5mins. It has a lifetime warranty, which i've never think I will have to use since the unit works great. There is a temperture display so I can adjust it accordly to how thick I want my vapor to be. It comes with the aromatheraphy dish which I love. My unit always has orange blossoms in it.
The only con that I could see was that there isn't a fan to it, so you have to put in a little work to inhale the vapor, which isn't a big deal at all. I've never had any problems or complains about this unit, I love it.

V-Tower Vaporizer

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

About a week or two ago, I purchased a Oxygen Vaporizer with battery pack from GotVape.com. I am still very happy with that unit, but I felt it was time to upgrade to a better, higher quality vape. I checked out GotVape and found that the V-Tower was a highly recommended unit at a very good price range. I bit the bullet, and bought the unit. I was also excited because it came with a magnetic acrylic grinder and free shipping! I recived my unit the next day, and was stoked! I opened the box, grinded my blend, and loaded the unit. I was a little bummed out that the unit was not a forced-air unit, but I was happy to say the least. I could actually see my vape, unlike the Oxygen or even my friends Fuji. Now when all my friends come around, they all prefer my V-tower over my friends Fuji.I am very satisefied with my unit, and thanks to GotVape for getting my unit to me so quick.

V Tower is next level

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

I love my new V-Tower Vaporizer. When I purchased this unit at the smoke shop, I had a choice of 5 other Vaporizers but I still went with the V-Tower.

The main reasons for choosing this Vape are the Lifetime WARR & LCD Temp Screen.

Not to mention, each V-Tower has a automatic shut off & the ground glass vapor wand has 360 degree swivel so I'm able to let my friends use it without moving the entire unit!

Compared to other units like the Silver Surfer, Vapor Tower, and Buddah, the V-Tower offered more unique features that separated it from the rest.

I only paid $200 so I'm a very happy camper.

V-Tower Vaporizer

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful

What I like most about the V-Tower is how smooth the vape is. Because the heating element is on the top the heat rises, so you do not have to do so much of the work. A downfall would be that there is no fan, so you do have to do some of the work.

In my opinion you should save an extra $100.00 and get the Extreme (with remote control and fan with 3 speeds its well worth the extra $$). I almost bought this one and recieved the same advice and am very glad it did that. Its made by the same company and also has a life time warranty.

Wasnt too Pleased..

2 of 8 people found the following review helpful

This particular unit, I thought was going to be a breeze and overall excellent satisfaction but that turned out not to be the story. Comes off to be a replica of the extreme minus the use of bags, which is also misleading. Unit does not have a fan which is a con. The pro about unit has stainless steel housing, beautiful LCD display screen, blue base lights and plenty of glass throughout. V-Tower claims to have made the best upright bowl on the market, and I am going to disagree! way too much glass pieces going on with the unit . Overall rating would have to be a dissapointment.
