The volcano vaporizer

[Rastaman292]

Hello everyone! I am extreemly interested in purchesing a vaporizer. Cost is not a factor here at all. All i want is the best quality avalibile. From what i've always heard is that the valcano was the best one. I've done some reasearch on it but i dont know anyone who has ever used one. If anyone ownes one or has tried one please tell me if you think its worth it and if it is high quality. Also any vaporizer users please give me your thoughts on what you feel is the best vaperizer and why. Thanks everybody and stay lifted:rastasmoke: :rastasmoke: :rastasmoke:

I can say with certainty that the Volcano is the best vape on the market.

I was lucky enough to have a roommate who owned one. Should you buy a Volcano be prepared for everyone to want to smoke at your house every time.

I haven't tried the mighty Volcano, but I own a Vapolution. We broke the vaporizer virginity veil together. So anyway, I love it. It is very portable too. I've tried some others since like the Vaporwarez and it works alright, but wasn't hands free. If you have unlimited funds and desire portability and a better taste, you might try something like a Vapolution...
That's my $4.20 worth.

I own one - ask away :)

I tried several vapes on the market but the Volcano floors ALL of them.

I had chance to try one in Amsterdam (Volcano) and was hooked since. On returning to the UK I actually found a real high street store selling one and purchased it after the sales guy showed me how to maintain it :)

I seriously think we need a "Volcano Owners Fanclub" website or something :)

i have smoked out of a volcano about a dozen times and it is great. i have tried a few other kinds of vapes as well, but they didn't even come close. not even close. if i had the money i would buy one in a second, it is the only vape i would ever purchase.

Hello everyone! Thank you all for the info it is very much apreshiated. I have a few questions for you guys now. Delta9 UK you say you own one of these wonderful machines? A lucky man you are. Can you let me know some of the positives and negitives of your volcano vs other vapes you've tried before? Also how long does it take to heat up to the appropriate temp and what temp do you use. Also i've heard romours of the volcano tends to not taste very good. What are your thoughts on that? I've tried a vape called a herbal air and it was alright but the guy never changed the bag so that led to it having a not so good taste. I think if you replaced the bag every so often it should taste wonderful. And lastly please tell me how the effects of the volcano are? Thank you all for the comments. Stay lifted friends:rastasmoke: :rastasmoke: :rastasmoke:

my buddy has a volcano and just recently bought the Super Vapezilla by wicked roots. The vapezilla is way better for taste and potency but the Volcano is more of a social smoke, it's better for sessions with more people. both are great vapes. If it is for personal use only and you dont plan on having sessions with multiple people go for the Super Vapezilla!

Yes, the fanclub is a great idea. Somewhere to talk about these amazing, yet somewhat quirky machines.

I have had mine for a month or more, and it is simply untouchable both in potency and frugality, once you've ponied up for it, that is.

I smoke so vary occasionally now, usually just because I'm out of the house, otherwise it's always the Volcano.

The thing that is crazy is how long you can keep reusing the same plant over and over. Once it seems to stop making vapor, regrind it and bam, super vapor again.

I don't smoke tobacco, so it is so nice to not feel like a smoker anymore, even though I use the Volcano daily.

It was the best investment I have made in a long time, especially one dedicated solely to me (not that I don't share the Volcano).

Do it.

[herbaltivo]

The effects are somewhat different, but in my opinion, more pleasant. It's much more relaxing for me, which is what I'm shooting for, since I'm medical, mj needs to calm my body down, which the Volcano really seems to do well.

When I smoke it's very heady, and when I vape, it's very body high, just like using butter, except you don't have to wait an hour and a half it's just 5-10 min and BAM, smoothness.

:D

As the vapour is mostly thc - you tend to get a cleaner hit/high.

It does of course depend on your herb but the high IS different to smoking.

Warmup time is a couple of minutes and you can keep filling balloons for as long as you can take it - don't pass out ;)

Taste is fantastic - the great thing with the volcano is the variable temp. I used several vapes before from contact ones (not proper vapes imho) to lightbulbs and all that. Hot-Air kicks ass with herb.

For example on the volcano heat setting 7 is something like 203 C - perfect to extract THC. The thing is that thre are other oils and compounds (CBN,CBD) that get realeased too.

Example: If you have a volcano try this -

Break up your herb (don't grind it)
Drop herb into volcano - your herb should be in lumps - too big for a joint! Really rough chunks here!

Set the Volcano to a Low temp say 4.5 - 5

Attach a balloon - take a hit.

The vape with be sooo smooth and sweet, plus not very strong - good for a build up. If you are looking for a Bong-Hit this isn't it.

Remove the herb - break it up some more.

Slap it back on the volcano - another balloon.

Up the temp to 6

Run another balloon.

Remove herb - break up further (or grind it now)

Run a balloon - up temp above 7 and see whats left.

I like this technique as I can build up. I find if I grind weed (or use Kif FFS!!!) and put it in at setting 7 the vapour created can be a bit dense. You can actually cough REALLY bad after taking a vape hit if you are not careful.

The vapour is really fine so you can easily inhale too much and cough - as you are hitting it you might not realise ;)

Good things:

Herb lasts longer

Less smell - don't even think for a minute there is "no smell" that's BS - depends on the weed. I had some Sour Deisel and my room stank like Bob Marley's Ass. But either way Vaping is way "Stealthier" than smoking anything. Plus the vapour has no burn material (Oils, Tar etc) to stick to you and your surroundings - so less smell overall and over time.

Health Benefit OK So Vaping isn't "proven safe" but I'll bet it is less damaging than smoking.

Quit Tobacco OK so this is personal but it helped me quit the evils of Nic0tine. By not smoking spliffs (Remember that us crazy Brits actually put tobacco in our joints) I removed a lot of tobacco and quit it altogether eventually :)

Bad Things

There are bad thing about weed? :jointsmile:

OK the main one is the Cost - A Volcano in the UK is £300/$600 so this is not a cheap device. However I looked at it this way....

Buy one pack of fags (20) and some rolling papers UK Cost £5 Per week (For rolling spliffs) :: £20/month

1 year of this = £240

So I made a promise (to my girlfriend) that if I bought the Volcano then I would quit smoking tobacco with my herb - and in just over a year the Volcano has paid for itself :rastasmoke:

The other "bad" thing is that the Volcano is so "good". Seriously though - you can go through a truckload of weed (especially at first as you experiment) as Vaping is so much fun. I have been soooo cained with the Volcano and usually after so much smoke I would usually need to break and slow down.

Not with the Volcano! You can just keep filling that baby until one of three things happens:

1. You pass out.
2. You run out of weed.
3. The power goes out.

OK one more "bad" - the Volcano is pretty big, it isn't portable and will not fit in even a Big-ass pocket ;) However you can get a car kit so you can use the Volcano plugged into your cigarette lighter in your car.
