i have used almost every vaporizer under the sun & would say the vaporfection stealth novus is the whip vaporizer that matches up (and then some) to the volcano. it does in fact look better & delivers a heavy vapor hit, it also uses an all glass heating element which i like. using it with the new glass aqua-vape cooler puts it over the top, yes, better than the cano imo! this is a MUCH newer technology, so dont just trust all the these people who swear by the cano...
