I'm a beginner and dumping such big chunk of money on something I never get to try is kinda crazy. So I'm seeking opinion on the 2nd best! Please recommend only if you have use it.

So I'm asking opinion for the 2nd Best one. I prefer bag, convection heat, and good thermo control. Obviously, price, quality and reliability should put in consideration too. So if you HAVE used Volcano and HAVE use the one you gonna recommend, please share here! :thumbsup:
What makes the Volcano the best vaporizer? Does it do a better job of extracting vapor than any other vape on the market? Seems like that should be the criteria. It's for certain that nobody's proven that. In fact, quite a few people say the herbalAire is as efficient as the cano, or even more so. I've been using a herbalAire for about 18 months and I can attest that once it's processed the product, it's done-you can't squeeze even a wisp of vapor out of it with a cano or any other vape unless you turn the heat so far up you're getting smoke. While I haven't compared it side by side to the cano, I have used one and it didn't tempt me to ditch my herbalAire. Vaporization is a simple process-apply heat and get vapor. Beyond that you can only fine tune for efficiency, and quite a few vapes are capable of extracting the maximum vapor. Some just take more work than others. And I really don't like to compare bag and whip delivery. It's like apples and oranges to me. There are pluses and minuses for both types, and it depends on the person's preferences as to which is a better fit.

Since you like bag delivery and want an affordable, quality unit, I'd have to recommend herbalAire (what a surprise ). There aren't a lot of bag units to choose from and herbie does just as good a job at half the price of the cano. It fills the bag slower, but it's easier and cheaper to make multiple bags and easier to clean as well. It also does direct draw, although it's not as satisfying to me as a good whip vape. Certainly great for a quick one hit, since it heats up fast. You've got more 'stuff' to deal with-separate pump, air line, two power cords. No big deal IMO, but I guess it bothers some people. The company's customer service is outstanding.

There's a new vape on the market-the Extreme, that does both whip and bag delivery-even has a remote. It's an upgraded V-Tower with digital controller. I have the V-Tower, and it's a quality vape, so on that basis, I'd have to give this new vape the thumbs up, even though I can't comment on the bag filling efficiency. But it is pretty much a 'one man company', and being a brand new product, reliability hasn't been proven.
