Volcanos are awesome, but if something goes wrong it's a bitch to fix.
I own an SSV and my bro has a (now broken) Volcano. They're both awesome but I've had my SSV for almost 3 years and it works just as well as the same day I received it. Plus it looks cool as hell.
Also, the whip fits perfectly into an 18.8 bong joint...vapor bong hits!!!
