Haha, yeah heres a vote from a previous solidvalve non-digital volcano owner...
DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY.
Volcanos demand top dollar because all the stoners know the name and its just like buying ROOR glass. I had one, and loved it, but there are many better vaporizers on the market, just look into all possiblities.
I ended up settling on a Aromed 4.0. Its perfect for my needs, and much less work to set up than a volcano. Its waterfiltered, which really helps cut down on dust you get that gets pulled thru the screen. This makes a huge difference in the quality of smoke to me. Much less cough, and also a lil bit cooler as that hot air can really roast throats. Its medical grade quality, and is powered by a mini HPS light that is given more or less voltage so that when you draw on the whip, and the temperatures dip, it will turn up the power to keep the temperature dialed in perfectly. Some more quality German engineering.
Pro's of Volcano
- 15ft bag = enough to take down 5, but also makes for a nice personal when you absolutely must get stonnned.
- hands down best "party" vaporizer
- digital sounds much nicer, but i havn't tried it
Cons of Volcano
- very hard to dial in the correct vapor temp without digital.
- find a picture of the inside of a volcano, its extraordinarily simple, and you will feel like you were taken on a ride for spendin 5+ bills on it
- buying used ones may not always be good deal. One of my friends had a very early volcano and his ceramic heater burnt out on it. So even tho they're credited to last forever, just be wary if you dont know how old the thing is.
I sold my volcano 2 years ago for 450 bucks, bought an Aromed for 360, and some of my friends liked it so much they've gone out n bought their own as well.
Trust me, reputation isn't everything.
out.
