The reason there are so many conflicting responses to this question is because everyone has different needs and expectations that they want to be met!

First off, please note that my comments here are for a Volcano vaporizer and/or any other therapeutic-grade vaporizer only. Any of the cheaper vaporizers do not have accurate enough thermostats, and therefore temps are only a point of reference.

For the medical and/or therapeutic-grade user: 370 F is the temp you want, give or take a few degrees. At any lower than 370, you are not extracting a therapeutic concentration of THC; at any higher than 370, combustion begins. The more combustion (burning) that occurs, the more toxins and carcinogens will be present.

For the health-conscious, recreationally-focused user: 375-390 F is the temp range you want. Any lower than 375 is sufficient, but for many users who want a more potent experience, a bit higher temp may be better for you. Any higher than 390 and (generally speaking) you are eliminating most benefits of a vaporizer (especially a pricey one!) and might as well just smoke it.

I own a Volcano Digit vaporizer and I personally find 375-380 to be perfect for me. I am an everyday recreational smoker who wants the enjoyment of marijuana with a reduced health risk. With the Volcano, 370 will get you a very light white vapor and believe me, 370 still gets you nice and cozy. 375-380 gets you a fuller, light grey but still transparent vapor -- I find this perfect for me. One vape and I am good all afternoon. Any thicker and darker of a vapor, and you are getting more combustion going on. Believe me, you don't ever need to reach 400 degrees -- a nice thin vapor is plenty! Vaporizers will always be a supreme high compared to conventional smoking anyways. The moisture content of your bud makes a big difference as well -- drier buds definitely need minimal temp, but stickier, spongier buds may require 5 degrees or so more. It is amazing the difference that 2-5 degrees in temp can make; that is why it is worth it to get a high-quality vaporizer.

Find your happy balance, and enjoy!
