I had been considering vaporizing for a while, hesitant due to the cost and different types and quality. A local shop, Charlie Browns, just start carying the Volcano system, which I had read about and thought sounded like might justify the cost. It was a little pricey for this type of purchase, even higher than online. But, I was able to pick it up locally, not having to wait for delivery or pay extra costs.

Mine was $600, and even I had a tough time accepting that price tag. But, I always say if I'm going to do something, I'm going to do it right. Well, this turned out to be well worth the price. It helped to get the 10% coupon with this purchase. Although, I'm not sure if I'll be able to make much of it for quite a while after this purchase. It's convenient, less disturbing to those around (burnt herb), and helps pay for itself through the weed that you save.

It takes only a few minutes to figure out how to assemble (it's pretty much together) and grind up (comes with own grinder) some herb and get it producing vapors. The first thing you notice is what I would liken, only partially, like the first time I tried a water pipe, noticing the differnce with the water filtering. This was about 1000 times better than that difference. No harsh smoke, heat, or the choking that sometimes comes with a water pipe hit.

You need to remind yourself that you don't have to smoke the entire bag of vapors right away. With a pipe, you pass around, or force yourself to smoke it, perhaps more quickly than you would like. With this, you can sit back and sample some whenever you like. The manufacturer said something like hours, but I'm not sure about that; maybe an hour or so, but I'm still getting used to it.

It really helps cut down on the odors in the room. I've been able to use it around people that would get disturbed but the burning smell with other methods, but not mind this.

It also allows you to stretch out the herb for a lot longer, saving you money. Sure it'll take me a while to make up the cost of this thing, but given the lung savings and other conveniences, it's at least good to know that it'll eventually pay for itself. :thumbsup:

The only thing I haven't quite figured out yet, is the optimum temperature settings. I've tried 5-6, which seems to work ok. If anyone has one of these, do you have any suggestions on temperature settings?
binger Reviewed by binger on . Questions about vaporizing I'm pretty self-conscious about my health, and I've heard all this talk about how smoking through a vaporizer takes away most of the toxins in the pot. I'm considering buying a vaporizer from ebay, and I was just wondering how true this is about it being better for your health. I was also curious about the high (better or worse?) and also if this process tends to be more wasteful or less wasteful with your dope. Rating: 5
