This is how I see it. The Volcano is like a Lexus (or some other luxury car). Its the best you can buy, IF you can buy it. Not all of us can afford a luxury car, so you buy another car you can afford that's not a piece of crap. Everyone will say buy a Volcano cause they are so damn great, but I'm with you, I can't afford that!

So my suggestion, research models and make sure you don't buy some crappy Yugo type vaporizer! Personally, I have a Hotbox, and I really like it. It was $150 and its served me quite well. Also, make sure to cruise the websites AFTER Christmas-SALES!

Good luck and happy vapping!!!
