So a Lexus has less features than a Toyota? Did someone break into your Lexus and rip everything out of it? The Extreme has more features than a Volcano. It is more indicative of a luxury brand than the Volcano. It is very well built. I have had mine for 2 years, and there is no reason I can't keep it for many more. I don't see any wear and tear on it.

I think the price point of the Extreme has some people thinking it must be inferior to the Volcano. It's not. I don't think you get what you pay for with a Volcano, and quite frankly, I am weary of the plastic parts. Keep in mind -- Germany is a socialist nation where labor costs $20+/hr. I think that's great and I wish that's how the world worked. I also think the taxes, tariffs, international shipping costs, customs, etc with the international commerce may be an issue. Trade between Canada and the U.S. is a lot less regulated and taxed. Also, there is probably some up-sell going on -- like true religion jeans vs. the gap. I don't buy $300 jeans or $600 vaporizers, even though I could afford them. It's just not a good deal to me. But I don't think the steep price is indicative of quality -- it just invites competitors to undercut their price with better products, which is what Arizer has done.

Also, you may find them used on Ebay for less, but why do you think someone is selling it? Is it broken? Who knows. All I know is I'd rather buy a new car with more features for the same price as a used car with less. With the legal issues (who knows what they used the vaporizer for or what residue is on there), I would be weary of buying a new one and having it send via interstate or international commerce... After all, I just want to use it for peppermint to soothe my stomach What if some stoner was using it, didn't clean it well, and sent it internationally? What if it is just broken?

I think you're wayy better off buing a new Extreme than a used or new Volcano. Price aside, I just don't like how much plastic they have in that thing. Yes, glass parts can break, but they're also non-toxic. Replacement parts are cheap and they will get them to you super fast...
darthnader Reviewed by darthnader on . 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
