Went with the Volcano...

[Innominate]

I just put in an order for the Volcano Vaporizer. I'm so excited! I've never tried vapes before. Everyone says it's worth the 539 bucks so I'm going to see for myself. I'm eager as hell!

[jamstigator]

Thanks for the offer, and if I should ever get to Maine, I'm takin' you up on that! Or is that, 'I'm tokin' up with you on that!' Heh.

I'd give the guy a week, then confront him. Sixty bucks is sixty bucks, and he created the necessity of spending it, so he should cough it up. I'm like you - if I did something like that to someone, I'd already have paid them and chalked it up to 'shit happens'. Not worth fighting about sixty bucks, but yeah, if he doesn't make good on moral responsibilities to friends, why *would* you want him around?

I'm pretty confidant you're gonna be thrilled. You get a smug feeling when you realize how toasted you can get without involving combustion. Also, forgot to mention this as well but - vapes make more sense if you're into top shelf herb btw. It stands to reason if you're going out of your way to acquire various tasty strains you should be consuming them in a manner which allows you to get the full flavor their genetics bestow. Taste is the vape's real appeal to the connoisseur; last night's unscheduled hang-out involved some rather citrus like dank, and everyone commented on it's flavor, even the guy who supplied it and has been rolling Js with it for more than a week!

Figured I should share that... :thumbsup:

*rubs hands a la Mr. Burns* Exxxcellent... bring some Big Mama!

The dude in question came up in conversation last night, and I found out some stuff that makes me feel slightly less pissed. In addition to being broke as hell, he's trying to move out of his dad's place "touts suite" and putting all available funds towards that endeavor. It seems his dad is an alcoholic and gets violent. Which explains the semi-shiner he had the first time we met. I almost feel like a dick now. Almost.
Anyway our common friend went to bat for me in a polite way to keep the issue in this guys head, which is how I came by some of this info. The gist of his response was something like 'Well as soon as I'm able, I'll see what I can do for the guy with the gigantic house and the Acura in the driveway.' But I've been assured he didn't say it like a dick. Hrmmm.

Whatever. After much contemplation I think I'm just going to brush this incident under the rug and chalk it up to bad luck. I don't think I want to let $60 bucks forever taint our relationship or be the cause of strife within our circle of friends, in the grand scheme of things it just ain't worth it. Maybe one day he'll surprise me, but for right now I'm content to let him deal with the bigger fish he has to fry.

I have to order more bags anyway... *sigh*

also vape your weed in the reccomended bag height limites. I notticed if you try to vape the weed while its pre heating it some how ruins it. I personally love the vape because it gets you high off small amounts of weed BUT you dont feal it as fast as if you were smoking but by the end of the session I always end up higher with the vape compared to just smoking it. Also I was getting sorta bored with the small bag thing so I attached about a 5 foot bag to my volcano and it ruins the taste of the weed if you over fry all the shit in one go and some how it dosent work as good. I like to start 5.5 on the first bag then increase it to 6 on second bag and then 6.5 and so on until I think theres no more thc left in the weed... its hard to explain when the weed is completely used up.... i find that just having the volcano over the course of a few months now just some how gave me the ability to tell when the shit is done being vpaed or not ... anyways yea.... temp also goes on what u are looking for. I notticed 5.5 gives the best taste but some ppl like 6.5 maybe because more active compunds get released on one time at a higher temp. I really dont kno lol. I juist like my system of the 5.5 then up the temp as each bag goes along. Some time u can even vape the shit out of the weed and if you put the tamp at 9.... just filter the vapour thru a bong and the temp at 9 will feal like its 6.0 again.... anyways im done typeing. time ot go find some weed and vape it peace. Sorry for bad spelling and crap. What can I say... im "lazy smoker7" lol.... to lazy to go back and fix all mistakes lol... happy vaporizing

Now I'm really excited. I'm also looking forward to experimenting with different flavors like adding bubble gum or mints. Any recommendations for that?

How much weed do you use??

I find this very weird because people says that they dont normally use soo much weed and get really high. For me the high gets strong if I use a lot of weed in my session. Perhaps my accessories are dirty which I may need to get some new ones. I have owned the volcano vaporizer and I've only changed the bag twice and never got new accessories lol

I have never done that. You will find it interesting how many different flavors you get off the volcano as you change the temps.
You will also find many different tastes between different strains.
I have thought that the taste is so much different with a volcano because you cannot smell anything. It is all taste. Smell is a big part of taste. With the volcano there is no odor just the taste. You just want to lick your lips for more of the different taste.

It would depend on what you are vaping. You do not really need any new accessories. Keep the valves clean with alchol and put a new bag on if you get a leak. Also there is a filter on the bottom you should check now and then.

good choice..my buddy has one and he loves it...ive used it a couple times...have to say its a blast

In light of the new information I would let it slide. As far as the comment about the gigantic house and Acura, I gotta agree with him. No offense intended in any way shape or form, as I aspire to hopefully have a gigantic house and an Acura or two in my driveway as well, but as someone who is currently in a very financially limited situation, I can see why the comment was made. Especially considering the home life this person is experiencing. I can also imagine that it was not meant to spite you in any way whatsoever, though I could be wrong. Your friend did say that it wasn't said as a dick, and I would go with that.

You are right in not letting what is ultimately a very tiny issue taint what could be a great friendship some time down the road. While it is the principle that matters more than $60, sometimes the greater thing to do is just let it go. I say you made a good call in your decision!
