Volcano not getting me high... help!

[skrunched]

Hi. After tons of reading every past post on this forum i bought a volcano. Started using it this morning (with good grade bud) packing about .3 per go in the chamber... i tried started on 5.5 and everything up in increments of 0.5... .3 only seems to get me like 2 week bags... very thin vapor... through my bong 0.3 of this stuff in succession would get me ripped! am i doing something wrong... i mean the manual isn't that hard to follow, and I've searched like 100 posts on here for tips... if anything this is a painful experience using this thing... inhaling so much air... blah im out of breath...
i was so excited to get this thing... i smoke everyday so i wanted to save my lungs... making me unhappy...

YO! I just got a volcano a couple days ago....I have smoked out of the for a year or so tho...I usually start on 6. and of course u wait till the control light goes off...and it is vapors which are supposed to be a thin layer...and do u grind your bud nice and fine? and do u put enough to at least cover the bottom of the bowl? just keep vaping and vaping...I'd say three bags should do u well......how big did u make your bag?

hi thanks for the quick response... the bag actually came on it already (even though it was brand new... it seems fairly large so i usually only fill it half way... ive tried putting anywhere from .2 to .5 in the chamber... i just finished a big bag on 6.0 with a fresh chamber.... not much to brag about... i feel like im doing something wrong compared to what ive been reading i should be getting...oh and yes im grinding it nice and fine... is it normal for the orange light to go back on when its vaping into a bag? normally i inhale the most vapor at the end of a bag... is that cause the bag is too big thus filling too much air?

i must be doing something wrong though... for me to have put as much of my good stuff through this thing and not be in a coma let alone feel high... i feel like im just baking my pot and making it brown for no reason...ugh someone who knows how to make this thing work well help

friend of mine got a volcano a few weeks ago and we all have been getting high as balls off of it. not sure what you are doing wrong. maybe make sure it is ground up nice and fine.

try filling the bags to the max instead of going halfway or whatever.

psychedellics... can you explain the process / steps you guys use... i thought this thing was pretty much foolproof... how big is your friends bag... settings etc..? thanks

im no expert on this subject and i read a lot of topics on this forum to get a feel for the volcano... this is how we use it:

grind up some reefer and fill the bowl to a few millimeters deep. not sure how much in weight if i had to guess it would probably be like .3 ish give or take ..

turn it to 5.5 or 6 and wait for the light to go out... put the "bowl" on there and hit the air switch letting it run for a few seconds to "preheat" it like i read to do then attach the bag.

fill it up to almost max... but not like its going to pop or something and kill the air then hit it...

im not sure of the exact size of the bag but i think it has to be about a gallon maybe more. we fill 8-10 bags with the same weed taking it out and regrinding it at bag 5. and turning the heat up to about 6.5

im not sure if you really get anything out of those last 4 or five bags but i think we do.

i would like to hear more about people experiences.

thats what i do... but this is a letdown... any other tips?

sounds like your just a smoker. i never had a real problem with my vape, it got me really baked, but the vapor is defintly not as satisfying as thick smoke is. duuno why yours isnt even getting you high though.. mine was made out of a lightbulb, soda cap, and a pen though.

yeah, what grade of weed are you using?
