Extreme vs. Volcano?

[FourTwenty4Life]

I agree. The Extreme is a much better buy because it'll fill a bag just as well, give you fan assisted or passive direct draw as well, and save you almost $300.

Buy the cano used and it can be cheaper than the Extreme. Just some tidbits from reviews I found online...

Just broke the glass stir like a week into my ownership it broke in 2 while stirring the hurricane bowl cheap glass "

According to this guy, the "cano style" of it is the only thing worth using...

Yes. One of my good friends owns that very model, and it really gets the job done. The only problem is that you need to be EXTREMELY careful with the glass parts. While the company claims it is the strongest available glass, it is not. My friend broke 3 glass pieces the first night he used it just in front of my eyes. When you pull the hose off the glass, make sure you are pulling it perfectly straight, otherwise it'll crack in half. The built-in fan thing in that is awesome, and its the only way I vape. Definately buy the tower, just be careful with glass fittings! "

What would be the benefits of the Volcano to someone who is concerned over cost, as opposed to someone who just wants the best regardless of cost?

I honestly don't know, having never tried the Extreme. I'm not one of those that think the Volcano is the only good vape on the market. I'm sure others are out there just as good. Honestly, for me the main reason I like the Volcano was because I felt good knowing there had been some scientific research using the Volcano that indicated in cleared out most of the carcinogens and had a high efficiency (something like 95% THC). Other vapes may have similar results, but for me it was peace of mind knowing exactly how my vape performed in real tests. If there is legit scientific research out there testing other vapes, I'd feel just as comfortable using them. So really, it's not that I think the Cano performs better. It's that I "know" exactly what I'm getting in the vape fumes. "

FourTwenty4Life Reviewed by FourTwenty4Life on 03-17-2009. Extreme vs. Volcano? I am very close to purchasing my very first vap. I'm not trying to buy something that will be a waste, especially if it is something that costs hundreds of dollars... Anywho, I've tried the Volcano before and fell in love. That was why I decided I wanted to get a vap. Everything about it is awesome, and I love the whole bag technique. The problem with that is it costs around $550 for the Classic Volcano. There is a 3-year warranty which is a plus as well. Now my buddy who works at a Rating: 5

I think I will be purchasing my Extreme this Thursday. I let you all know how much ass it kicks compared to the Volcano once it's broken it :thumbsup: With that extra couple hundred that I would've had to spend on the Volcano, I can now spend lots on "accessories" to taste with the vape

[skanking1121]

Well I've gotta say.... this vap is fuckin amazing! Just got done with the first two bags and yeaaaaaaaaaah I'm super stoked that I bought this instead of the Volcano. It's the exact same vapor, has more features, and heats up in about 30-60 seconds. Plus, you get to save that extra cash, with a life-time warranty as well... No contest, the Extreme Vaporizer wins the title of best buy foooo sho! :thumbsup:

Welcome to the world of vaping, skanking. You got yourself a great vape.

Get vaked.......not baked......:thumbsup:

:vap_rasta: My vote :vap_rasta: like 420 said ebay has good deals on used volcanos....I bought mine used and its still working great after 5 years daily use

Sounds good Skanking but let us know in 5 years how it's holding up. Be careful with the glass because it can break easily. I can't wait to get a portable vape...neither cano or Extreme have one though. Congrats on saving some $$ too but you could of spent even less on used canos on ebay. I wish cano had more "features" but in the end all that matters is getting vapor efficiently and effectively. I just ordered an Extreme yesterday to finally see how good it is. Money is never an issue with me so I figured why not. Then I can say for sure which I think is better.Glad you joined the vape revolution :thumbsup::hippy:

I wish I could agree that you can get a used Volcano on eBay for under $300. In at least the last 30 days the cheapest one was over $400.

Vape on, yall.:thumbsup:

[KomfortablyKnumb]

I see one used volcano on ebay right now, for $475

[FourTwenty4Life]

Yesterday there was a Classic for $320 and a Digit for $360. Like I've stated, I've seen them as low as $250, as has VapedG13. You just have to check every day and bid ASAP because they go fast.:hippy:

Edit- The $320 is still for sale & the $360 is now $405 from the 6 bids it has...here is the $320..
