I bought my first vaporizer in 2001, one of those old-school “Blue Meanie” units with a soldering iron inside a jam jar, then I upgraded to a Vapir ONE in 2006, quickly realised my mistake and exchanged it for a Volcano, and haven’t smoked since!

I founded Vapefiend a couple of years later when I discovered that the only way to buy one of the exciting new IOLITE ORIGINAL portable vaporizers was to order from the U.S., even though it was made right next door in Ireland! I spoke to the IOLITE guys, bought a box of vaporizers and split it with some friends, then bought another when more friends got jealous, and the rest is history.
