Volcano Vaporizer: Worth it?

Noticed my receipt yesterday. Classic model bought on ebay for $425 shipped. It was a new sealed one too :)

I'm sitting here waiting by myself. I just got home from Hawaii and I invited some friends to crash and smoke these new king size hemp papers my parents got me. They just went to my friends house to get the volcano vaporizer, god forbid they can't vaporize one night :jointsmile: damn it's just so good. They should be back any miniute...

The volcano has the taste of grape drink. or grape something.
But its definately one nice machine. Really smooth.
The cost sucks but its worth it on some levels

Its rez man. hash is a thc extraction. tastes better.
That just tastes like rez. Save it though for rainy days .

Rubbing alcohol has just been denatured so it it not something you want to make a nice martini out of. Alcohol is a solvent for THC so it works as a good cleaning agent. Rinse it with water and away you go. Happy vaping!

Hmm. I dont know about that. Its normal to change the bag every month. I suppose if you dont smoke in that alot.

How is the smell? Since there is no smoke, does it smell at all? If it does smell, how does it compare to the bowl/joint method?

how did you make the butter? and how much 'grease' did you have to use per butter? Just tried my new volcano today and I love it. I would like to try and make some butter as well....

I've used a several vapes, so here I go:

efficieny-wise all vapes are about the same

Volcano
Pro: You can get a whole party stoned in a matter of minutes and really quick to set up
Cons: - It's harsh, waay more harsh than other vapes
- Smoking can be too short, so you don't socialize as much
- expensive

my favorite vape:
Aromed
Pros:
- Smoothest ever, it lets you taste the aroma of the weed with no harshness at all
- You pass the hose around, like a hookah
- costs $370, way cheaper than the volcano
- healthiest vape in the world (beats the volcano by a lot)
Con:
- Using it is slower than the volcano. It takes about 4-5 minutes to kill a bowl. But that bowl will get you destroyed.

I have a question for people that have not only used a vape, but ordered one online. Which site did you buy the volcano at, and what packaging did it arrive in? Is there a specific site that's really good for ordering online?

This guy came up with what he calls a home made 'Shalom (שָׁלוֹם) Salaam (سلام‎ ) Peace' Rockit Vaporizer, http://www.youtube.com/user/BestHome.../1/qUG776Ym7YI i thought it was a joke when he told my friends the name of this rocket and wanted opinions, as for me, i tried the Volcano in Amsterdam the first time 3 years ago, i personally think the classic is faster then the digital one i also tried for the first time 3 days ago, was great but slower, the price is still way toooooo high.

I would try this home made remedy before dishing out more then the price of a simply Bong, and believe me i know the Volcano, 4 friends of mine all have there own Volcano and kits., i am gonna try to attach a volcano bag to the Rockit, i already use a tube by connecting it to the bottle cap by puncturing a hole with a knife and it works great, in fact so far faster and better then a Volcano to me, you try it and see if its worth even buying a vaporizer afterwards.
