Improving the Volcano

I just came across this blog post about making the Volcano more efficient:

"During our experimentation we realized that using the bigger bag is not only easier it is also more efficient because you waste less vapor. Think about whenever you attach the Solid or Easy Valve on to the Volcano or take it them. There is always a little lost vapor; however, with the bigger bag you are taking the valve on and off the Volcano valve fewer total times per filling chamber, which maximizes your vapor by eliminating waste." Link to full blog post.

Makes sense, I'm gonna try it out. Has anyone else every experimented like this? What do you think?

How many forums are you posting this on? :wtf:

true, but the loss is minimal, it all depends on how much you smoke at a time

I personally like medium sized bags because its tailored to my specifications

1 Bowl lasts about 2-3 bags and I get fresh roasted herb out of 1 bowl

:D

i've had my volcano for quite sometime. my technique seems pretty efficient. i prefer the official volcano grinder it seems to work the best in my opinion. pour the ground herb into herb canister using a funnel so everything goes exactly where it should (i make one out of thick paper and tape). tap the funnel to knock off any remaining crystals into canister. place metal plunger into canister to secure herb. wait for the yellow light to turn off. attach the bag to the herb canister. place it a top the volcano. crank on the hot air. fill enough but without to much wear n tear. wouldn't like to risk a leak .once bag is filled quickly & safely detach the bag from the herb canister. take canister off hot volcano (no heat wanted while not being vaped) cover herb canister with something heavy enough to press down and form a seal to prevent any vapor from escaping but won't melt (example i use a cork coaster with a candle a top to press down and form a seal) once bag is empty reattach covered herb canister and see the efficiency! only the best medication please

Yeah, I notice the bag tends to leak a long the seam. Filling it all the way probably isn't great for the bag, but a nice plump bag of vapor is a beautiful thing.

lol

They could also make the plastic parts of the bags for the Easy Valve all different colors. Instead of having them all be orange. Then you could like have big vape sessions and let people choose the color they wanted to be and each person would have their own bag.

They could also create a new attachment for the top maybe made out of metal or glass rather than that trashy plastic bag. I understand that there is a 3rd party company that makes one but it is shitty as fuck. It has a hole in it for gods'sake the vapor escapes! If only storz-bickel would design a really chill top for the vape that was engineered aswell as the machine.

I like that idea. Different colors would make it easy to ID different bags.

That's not gonna happen. If there was a better material than oven bags we would have seen it by now. All the bag vapes use them except the Vapir One. They use the same type material, but it's proprietary and a lot more expensive.
