The Silver Surfer Vaporizer is made by U.S.-based company 7th Floor, the same company that makes the Da Buddha Vaporizer. 7th Floor manufactures every Silver Surfer vape by hand in the United States, and the company has been making its products better since its debut. Since 2008, both the SSV and the DBV have earned loyal followings and lots of praise from vapers.
You wonder why the Surfer is a tad more pricy than the Da Buddha Vaporizer. The explanation is that the SSV is manufactured, finished, and checked for quality in the United States. The other one is made in Asia, then sent to a local plant for finishing and QA.
The SSV has a few other features that set it apart. First and foremost is the analog temperature control knob. The knob is made of colored glass, so every one is slightly different. Therefore it stands out more than the unremarkable knob of the Da Buddha. Secondly, the SSV has the ability to add an attachment for aromatherapy with the purchase of an extra small glass piece. The thing can be used to relax with aromatherapy herbs at the same time that you are using the main vape. Third, the vape itself stands at an angle. This is not mere good looks: the heater-cover is pointed downward, so the wand is attached at an upward angle. Thus, you are less likely to have your material tumble out of your wand while using the SSV. Check out a Da Buddha vaporizer review and you’ll see the other vape doesn’t have this feature.
Silver Surfer Vaporizer Reviews
Overall, folks who have purchased and used the Silver Surfer Vaporizer were very pleased with it. Some of the things they liked most were its solid build (one user said it is “like a tank”), its use of glass in the vapor path, and its high amount of customizability.
The Surfer uses ground glass wherever the vapor touches, so your vapor never comes in contact with the hot parts of the vape. Sometimes you don’t know you’ve drawn in anything until you realize your lungs are full of vapor.
The Silver Sufer vape has another surprising benefit: the round temp knob allows you to increase the temp all to the way to a whopping 900 degrees fahrenheit. Quite a few people have pointed this out in a Silver Surfer vaporizer review. 7th floor says “The element is fully adjustable from two hunney all the way up to nine hundred.” Now, clearly you won’t be vaping your plant at such a high temperature, since most of your materials vaporize in the 200-350 degree range. However, you can set the dial at the max when you begin, and your unit will be ready to go soon! Afterwards, just reduce the heat to the desired level before you use it.
