Local Sheffield tattooist and inventor,
Dave Murray, has recently received 3rd
Prize for Best New Product at the 20th
Anniversary Cannabis Cup.
After designing and piloting the Vaporstar,
Dave went into production four
years ago.
The Vaporstar Vaporising Bowl is the
very latest in portable vaporisation
technology that will transform your
glass pipe into a most efficient and
easy to use vaporiser. Crafted to fit
the joint sizes of most standard acrylic
bongs and from 14.5 to 18.8 sized joints
in glass bongs, the Vaporising Bowl
comes with fully descriptive instructions
and a handy pair of tweezers for
handling the metal parts when they
are hot.
How does the product work?
By heating the ‘tobacco’ to just below
combustion temperature where the
oils containing the flavours boil into a
steam rather than burning and releasing
smoke and tars.
How does the product fit in with the
current smoking ban?
It sidesteps it quite neatly as Vaporstar
produces steam not smoke - nothing
illegal going on here.
How has the product been received on
the market?
With awe and suspicion in equal measure.
‘How can it be a proper vaporiser?’
they ask. It’s so cheap in comparison
with other (mainly electric) models
and yet has been referred to as the
holy grail of smoking
What will this new product bring to the
public?
Health and wealth in some small measure.
Vaporstar is a healthier option than
smoking and cuts down on smoking
product consumption by 70%!

Vapour Fact:
Smoke contains many burnt and
charred particles of plant matter which
stick in your lungs. With vaporisation
this doesn’t happen as all the solid
plant matter stays in the bowl, while
the resins containing the flavour boil off
into a tasty steam.
Vapour Fact:
When plants are smoked, almost 80% of
the active ingredients are burnt away
before reaching the lungs. Using the Vaporstar
for this method of vaporisation
is over 90% effective.After designing
and piloting the Vaporstar, Dave went
into production four years ago.
