The Storz & Bickel "Volcano" Vaporizer is probably the best on the market as this review and others indicate. It was used in the Pyrolytic Compounds Study in the Journal of Cannabis Therapeutics, as well as other studies.
Its purpose is to release therapeutically active compounds as a vapor by gently heating plant materials without producing the dangerous pyrolytic by-products associated with cumbustion. This method is not only more efficient, but less likely to cause harmful side-effects.
I've been doing a lot of my blogging on another platform lately -- one that is about two parts social networking site and one part "free" blogspace. I originally published this information there.
The Volcano Vaporizer page I wrote, received a grand total of six page hits before some member decided that it deserved the lowest possible "1-star" rating, which has the effect of reducing its visibility and consequently its sales potential. That's pretty odd since this "free" site takes 50% off the top of your Amazon sale commissions -- about $18.50 on a $530 vaporizer.
I'm going to resist the temptation to elaborate on what's wrong with their business model -- they'd probably construe that as a violation of their terms of service anyway, but I'll be republishing a lot of that content here soon.

Cannabis (dà má) has been used in Chinese Traditional Medicine for at least 1000 years, so the idea of medical marijuana isn't just some hippie's pipe dream. Nonetheless, the Reefer Madness crowd has been mounting an anti-scientific campaign do demonize weed ever since the 1972 Shafer Commission Report. Hence, we feel compelled to include the following disclaimer:
While some states have all but decriminalized marijuana and/or have medical exemptions, there is still a federal prohibition and some states still have strong paraphernalia laws on the books. We don't sell these items for illegal purposes. In fact we don't sell them at all. We get a commission from Amazon.com for helping you find what you are looking for.
