- Rugged Brown (irregular finish), Hands-On: Hands-On model with our Ceramic EZ Change Whip #8788.

About the Basic Kit
Both units work the same as our other models and include the same 1-Year Manufacturer Defect Coverage. Every unit is fully tested, and all core components meet the same quality standards as our other units. A basic kit makes a great backup or travel vaporizer.
Rugged Brown: A temperature resistant chocolate brown matte finish, built for ruggedness instead of gloss. The finish may have a slightly uneven texture, small surface marks, or minor dents and scratches in non-critical areas, and the glass fit may vary slightly. These irregularities do not affect performance.
Hands-On or Hands-Free
Hands-On: The Whip does not stay connected to the heater. You hold it in place while inhaling and remove it between hits. This classic design gives you more control but takes a little practice.
Controlling the Hands-On Whip
Hands-Free: The Hands-Free model uses a precision ground-glass joint to connect the Whip to the heater. Once seated, the Whip stays in place on its own throughout the session. You draw through the mouthpiece without holding anything against the heater. This makes group sessions easier and lets you use the vaporizer with one hand.
Why Choose the Hands-On Model:
- Manual control allows for more customized hits
- Whip stays cooler, with less chance of contact with hot surfaces
- Rotating ball-joint style connection for even airflow
- More durable and economical than Hands-Free
- Lower cost on both the unit and replacement parts
- Works with all Hands-On Whips, including EZ Change and Mini-Thin
Why Choose the Hands-Free Model:
- The Whip stays connected on its own through a precision ground-glass joint
- No holding the Whip to the heater while you draw
- One-hand use
- Easier for beginners
- Easier group sessions and sharing with friends
- Works with all Hands-Free Whips, EZ Change and All-Glass

About Vaporbrothers and the VB1
Vaporbrothers invented the original box-style vaporizer in 1999 and launched the modern vapor movement. Known for dense vapor from small amounts of herb, our units are still handcrafted in California and built to last.
The VB1 is our flagship desktop model. Using pure convection, it produces thick, smooth vapor that only a desktop vaporizer can deliver. Its classic angled box and handpiece design (known as the "Whip") let you see and taste your material better than most other vaporizers, including portables.
Compatibility:
- Hands-On model: works only with Hands-On (Standard) Whips
- Hands-Free model: works with all Hands-Free Whips, EZ Change and All-Glass types, and with Hands-On Whips for the older hold-on method
- Can be paired with water pipes or Hydrators
- For use in the U.S. and 110~120V regions. Power draw is 30W continuous (150W peak)
