Went with the Volcano...

[BlueDevil]

Thanks Mary

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?

Ermmm, actually my recommendation for those ideas is - don't. Bubble gum is made to be chewed, I think having the sweeteners and other ingredients melt into a thin, sticky liquid could jeopardize the integrity of your costly new toy. Same for the mints, unless you're mis-attributing what you heard someone say about using the plant spearmint. Throwing in a few ground leaves of fresh mint sounds downright tasty if you ask me, but I haven't tried it (yet). The mesh pads that come with the Volcano are for liquids, I guess you just lightly dunk them and vape away. There's probably lots of fun to be had with various tinctures, extracts, and possibly liquors. Anyone?

I'd be remiss not to mention this but I can't corroborate the notion of no skunky smell from using the vape. I'll stick to the disclaimer of Your Mileage May Vary depending on what you're loading, but there is definitely a residual odor involved - it's just not like the longer lasting smog-like effect you'd get if a 3ft bong being passed around.

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!

Do you have it yet?

Got my Volcano an hour ago. I must say I was skeptical about vaporizers in general. Even with all of the positive reviews part of me just didn't think they'd work. I just inhaled my 1st bag 10 minutes ago.

I R Intoxicated.

Got a question b4 I completely forget what I'm talkin about. I've got mine set to 6, but it makes me cough. Is it set too high or do I just have the lungs of a 3 month old baby?

I set mines to 5.5 and I leave it at 5.5. I never increase the temperature.

Have to concur with the esteemed Dr here, 6.5 (or maybe just hair below that) seems to be the ticket! :thumbsup: The pics that come with the device leave something to be desired, as using haze density as the proper metric seems a bit subjective to me. Anyway, I've got that bad boy dialed in and I'm not touching it now! I've only had to brush out the chamber area once with the little brush provided. Quite the change maintenance-wise from nasty, smelly, well used bongs.

In other news, had two friends over to partake before we grilled some burgers. One of them, who shall remain nameless, drained the bag and then dropped it, nozzle straight down, on my tiled kitchen floor. The impact sent enough force into the solid valve to break off the 2 small bits that act as tension locks inside the nozzle.
MotherF&*^%$#@*!&!!!!

To make matters worse, he doesn't believe he really broke it (despite everyone watching him drop it and the vape now leaking when the bag is inflated), so he's pretty much skipping out on fixing the situation for the guy who fed him dinner, vaped him out, and hooked him up with free PC hardware and the subsequent installations necessary (all in the same day to boot). Haven't even owned the volcano for a month yet...ugh

I haven't known him that long, so I feel weird about confronting him about it. A replacement valve is 60 bucks, which while no small chunk of change is still far from an entire pay check or a kidney.
I hope he mans up and does the right thing without anyone having to put him on the spot. His dismissal of this is going to result in him not being a guest of mine for good. I can say with absolute honesty that if the positions were reversed, he would have already received a replacement alongside of an apology.

The moral of this story: don't invite classless schmucks over to enjoy your goodies.


Sorry, had to vent...


Edit: Oh and Jams, if by some chance you felt the need to pack up the Mrs. and sample Maine this summer/fall - Volcano test drives are on me! :smokin:
