I haven't, but good question. Since you wouldn't just be able to hold the lighter on it like a homemade light bulb vaporizer and you would have to inhale to pull the flame in, might take a lot of breath? Unless maybe you could tip the whole genie upside down and do it. If it does work I'm def going to try one.
i have a vapor genie and i love it but the technique for smoking it is a little hard to get at first. You want the lighter flame to hover in the center of the metal ring on the top part of the pipe, and not go below the rim. you want to inhale very slowly at a steady pace for somewhere around 30 seconds.
So after the 30 seconds and you inhale, does that vaporize the whole bowl? Or must you continually inhale in 30 second segments?
that wil give you one hit, i generally find that i get anywhere from 3-8 hits off one vapor genie pack depending on how long i let the flame stay. Also note that as you take more hits the pipe gets hotter so it doesnt take as long to heat up, the first hit you take iis usually pretty weak because it hasnt warmed up yet. Also make sure that every couple hits you shake it around to make sure your exposing all the green to the top of the bowl so you vap all the weed you pack.
Picked one of these up yesterday at a headshop. It's fucking awsome. I tend to get about 10-15 good hits every bowl i've vaped. You don't actually want to pack the bowl at all, you want to grind up some weed and just set it in the bowl(Right below the rim of the bowl too) then screw on the top, then follow douley01's meathod.
My friend has it and I've smoked it with him countless times. He has asked a lot of headshop people and they all say the same thing: Put the flame just above the bowl (not touching any part of the pipe whatsoever, it'll burn!), and inhale very very gently for like 10-20 seconds. Then, exhale, release gas peddle on lighter to kill flame, and take a big strong hit. After a few of those, open it up, and stir the contents. Brown means it's been vaped, but you'll often find there are still green areas when you mix it around. Repeat process for a few more hits. Now you can either discard remnants or smoke them (combustion), as there will STILL be leftover THC. A great thing to do is roll a joint, or pack a bowl, of 50% new chronic and 50% vaped chronic. For a joint just mix it all up, for a bowl, put the vaped stuff at the bottom and put the fresh stuff at the top. It is surprisingly powerful.
