Iolite Portable Vaporizer Summary

The Iolite Portable Vaporizer is a compact direct inhalation device manufactured by Oglesby & Butler. Having debuted in 2008, the Iolite herbal vaporizer uses a revolutionary patented flameless gas catalytic conversion heating method and features a thermostatic temperature gage. The Iolitevaporizer fits nicely in the palm of your hand without any of the traditional restrictions like a battery pack or power cord. Weighing only 81 grams, the iolite Vaporizer weighs less than your typical mobile device and is approximately the same size. Addressing crucial user demands like size, sustained vapor delivery and compact, discreet portability, the Iolite has made a palpable impact on the portable vaporizer market.

Iolite Vaporizer Usability

Iolite herbal vaporizer is simple to use and each unit comes with easy-to-follow instructions included. The user can follow the detailed pictures without confusion. The Iolite is the perfect portable vaporizer for vaporists of any age. Once turned on, the orange temperature control display will stay lit until the desired vaporization temperature is reached. To turn the Iolite off, simply turn the power switch to Zero and the unit will power down in under five minutes. A cycle of stored gas is normal while the device is cooling down. The Iolite also comes complete with an expedient movement case which houses the device and its replacement parts as well as an optional care package.

Iolite Conclusions

The iolite portable vaporizer is a very impressive device thanks to its freedom from the traditional restrictions of power cables and battery packs. The compact design and travel case add to the overall efficacy of this unit. I would highly recommend the Iolite to any vaporist looking for an efficient herbal vaporizer at a competitive price.

    Never used it but I like how high you rated its aesthetics.

    It almost looks some retro tech thing.

    I like this vape, I have had one for over two years and have nothing but great things to say about it. Now maybe it doesn’t have the sex appeal that the firefly has, but it definitely hits just as hard at a fraction of the price. This vaporizer is best served for hiking and camping as it requires no electricity. I like to take it with me when I go canoeing up at Lake Tahoe. I almost dropped in the water a few times lol but luckily have not. *Tip: Pack your vape in a plastic Ziploc bag when taking it with you around water. The Iolite is capable of getting wet, you will just have to wait for it to dry out.

      Awesome, this is exactly what I was looking for. I live in Idaho and frequently go on long hunting trips. I had a Magic Flight but would need pack a bunch of extra batteries in order to vape for the entire 1-2 weeks. Now that I have an Iolite I dont need to worry about charging 15 batteries before I go out for a hunt. I just grab my bottle of butane, a few round of buck shot and hit the trails.

        I would recommend going for the Wispr, it is made by the same company and also powered by butane but in my opinion hits a little bit harder. I also do a lot of hunting in nearby Spokane and love take my vape out with me. Nuttin better than sum huntin’ and vapin’!
