From Backcountry.com:
"The Black Diamond VaporLock Carabiner checks in at an ultralight 51grams (1.8oz) for climbers who want to make their gear as light as possible. In addition to weighing incredibly little, the VaporLock Carabiner also includes a keylock gate for snag-free operation. Black Diamond gave this locking 'biner a basket wide enough to allow you to use a Munter hitch on ropes up to 9.4mm during climbs where even the belay device seems excessive (or you dropped it)."

From REI:
"Up to 30% Savings during the REI Fall Sale! Plus members save 20% on one full price item. The ultralight Black Diamond VaporLock locking carabiner is an ideal choice for belaying, lowering and rappelling. Minimalist pear-shape design has a wide basket to allow use of a Munter hitch on ropes up to 9.4mm. When used in conjunction with an ATC the VaporLock effectively increases friction up to 30% during lowering or rappelling, helping maximize control. Made from anodized aluminum for lasting service. The sleeve locks on the gate, eliminating the possibility of the 'biner being over-tightened or ''frozen'' when loaded. Keylock nose will not snag on bolts or gear while clipping and unclipping."

From RockCreek:
"The VaporLock Screwlock Carabiner by Black Diamond is one of the top choices for a belay biner. The VaporLock is the lightest, full function pear locker on the vertical walls. With a smooth increase in friction when used with any belay device, it is ideal for times when you need more control in your device; rappelling or belaying. With a keylock nose and screwlock sleeve, the VaporLock makes it easy to thread through a mass of slings or webbing and lock securely."
