the bag that the volcano uses is made from the exact same material that you use when you bake a turkey (you know what i mean: in my house we called them "turkey bags"?)... it is specially manufactured to be stable at high temp... like you buddy, i am very sensitive to flavors and smells and tastes, and i've never gotten a bad flavor from my vaporizer (with the notable exception of one time some jackal gave me some meds which were clearly grown in fish emulsion and not properly flushed... that sour flavor lasted for days it seemed like, but that was the meds, not the delivery system)... google the stats on turkey bags, and you'll see that they are rated to withstand much higher heat than most vaporizers are capable of generating... on the real? give me a pm, and we'll get together, you can try mine; as long as you don't mind a little reggae music...
