Vaporite Sapphire Vaporizer Review
Quick Review
The Good:
The Sapphire is small and discreet which makes it good for those trying to quit smoking. It can be taken anywhere to replace a cigarette.The Bad:
It is not customizable like MOD vaporizers that are available. It uses a wick in the tank for vaporization and that is quickly becoming a dated design.The Sapphire is affordable, but solid e-juice vaporizer. If you are looking for no frills, but want to get into vaporizing, this unit is a great choice.
DESIGN AND AESTHETICS
The Sapphire is another pen style vaporizer that was recently released by Vaporite. This unit is designed to vaporize e-juices and runny oils. The tanks utilize a cotton wick that siphons the e-juice up to the heating element where it is vaporized. It heats instantly and produces clouds of vapor with ease. Each fill of the tank can be perfectly accurate thanks to the measurement lines on the side. The clear design allows for you to see exactly how much e-juice is left, which takes the guessing out of refilling. While holding down the button you will notice that it and the bottom of the pen glow red. This light will flash thrice if the battery is dead, so you’ll know when it is time to recharge. The Sapphire comes in black, blue, green, red and silver.
WHAT DOES IT
INCLUDE?
Each Sapphire unit comes in a blister pack that includes a battery, tank & mouthpiece and a USB charger. The battery has a 510 threading and will work with most 510 tanks, but Vaporite suggests using their tanks for the best performance. A mouthpiece cover is included to prevent oil from leaking out of the tank when the pen is not in use. The USB charger threads directly into the battery and can be used with any USB port.
HOW DO I LOAD OIL INTO THE TANK?
Filling up the tank for the Sapphire is a relatively simple procedure and takes hardly any time at all. Simply unscrew the mouthpiece from the top of the tank. Looking down into the tank, you will see a small metal piece with an opening the size of a pinhole. Do NOT fill that small hole with oil, as it will damage the tank and prevent any use. Instead pour the e-juice around this area and you will see the acrylic tank begin to fill up. The Sapphire’s tank has milliliter lines to assist in accurately filling, but not overfilling. The absolute most you will want to fill is up to the 1.6ml line, but it works best to stay slightly below. Thread the mouthpiece back on and you will see that it extends down far enough to cover the metal pinhole referenced above; this is to prevent any oil from leaking.
HOW LONG DOES THE BATTERY LAST?
Battery life will vary depending upon how long the unit is charged for. A full charge of the battery will last for the course of a day, providing clouds of vapor. The length of time in which the button is held for will also contribute to the lifespan between charges. When not using the Sapphire, hook it up to the charger and this will help to ensure that the battery is always ready for use whenever you are. Locking the battery prevents any accidental heating, also aids in a lengthier battery life.
TECHNIQUES FOR USING THE SAPPHIRE
Holding the button down and puffing like a cigar will use up more e-juice and battery life, but creates thick clouds of vapor. Allowing the unit to heat for a few seconds before beginning to inhale primes the tank and leads to dense vapor production. A slow draw that does not go directly into your lungs seems to work best, but everyone is different and it is up to you to figure out what technique is your favorite. If you are a light smoker, a small puff here or there might be all fine and dandy.
OVERALL REVIEW
The Sapphire from Vaporite is definitely a beginner vaporizer for those trying to quit smoking. It is easy to fill up and the markings on the side of the tank make it accurate as well. Though it does not seem to leak at all, the mouthpiece cover ensures that nothing will spill out. The element heats up quickly and is great for discreet pulls of vapor when out in public. And the slim pen style design fits comfortably in your pocket. It looks good in all of the colors available and is a great switch up from smoking.

This is pen is pretty alright, a lot better than something like the Buck Naked or Arizer e-juice pens but it can’t really hold up to custom mods. Of course those pens are like 5x as expensive so I can’t really knock it too much. The good thing about them being cheap is that when you lose them are easy to replace. I have probably lost three already in 2014.
I dont, I had a Buck Naked and Sapphire and like the Sapphire waaayyyy better. The Buck Naked wouldn’t really vape my e-juice well and just sizzle and pop. The Sapphire heats up instantly and does a really good job with my juice. I got an extra tank so I can vape different flavors without having to wash it out, I would recommend you do the same.
Just ordered this and am super excited to get in the mail. I heard it was the best of the lower end pen vapes and for the price it is definitely worth the risk. I got purple grape, melon berry, sour apple and normal tobacco flavor.
My girlfriend got one a month ago and keeps giving me shit every time I smoke around her so I finally decided it be easier to switch to vaping than deal with her crappy attitude every time I want a smoke. Plus I can vape inside now!
Best e-juice vape for the price right now. I also own a Kanger but when I am out on the street I take my Sapphire. It heats up instantly and creates pretty big clouds of vapor. The flavor is nice and it vapes the juice very efficiently. Some of the other vapes I have tried seem to vape though my liquid way too fast. I would recommend trying a few different flavors before you buy too much of just one. Some of them like “melon juicy blast” are just awful and will having searching all over for a more generic tasting e-juice.
Considering the price this is definitely a good vaporizer. It is great beginners and people that are just starting to get their feet wet in the world of vaping. The only real drawback is that the vaporizer pen will leak if you hold it upside down. Just make sure that if you sit down and the vape is in your pocket that it isnt facing the ground.
Agreed, this was the first vaporizer pen I ever purchased and it definitely satisfied my requirements. After a few months I moved onto to a more expensive mod but the Sapphire was a great vape to learn on. Simple and straightforward vaporizer for e-juice.
