Volcano Vaporizer Tip To Save Money

if you want a volcano hit up ebay...I bought my lastest volcano for $400 its the digital model....you can get the dail up model for $300-350

My last volcano was a dail up version.... it lastest me 6 years of use and I left it on a good 10-12 hours a day....then I gave it to my nephew...it still works today but one of the lights doesnt work now

if you remove the cone...it has the manufacturing date inside :) mine was 3 months old... saved $250

Some people bust out $$$ for the volcano used it for a little while and then end up just smoking anyway...Ebay gets alot of those type of volcanos :)

Brimi your bags are expensive beacuse of the value your using with the whip...the quick valve requires the premanufactured bags with the nipples

A set valve allows you to make your own bags any length you want up to 9 ft :)
 
i put a tiny bit of lavender flower into my last volcano hit (6 on the dial) and bloody hell was it a tasty treat! my room smelled great for the whole day.
i smoke glass and pure and i find that the addition of a flame make the high a bit more toxic/narcotic as such (sometimes thats what im after) but with the vape its completely different, very uplifting and clear high that puts a grin on your face. :)
Does anyone else vape different herbs for flavour?

We do it often. Here's a couple of other herbs that do really well. My favorite is a bottom bed of great bud and above that freshly roughly ground peppermint leaves. Swiss mint works as well but is not as sweet as candy like peppermint. Lavender is a favorite of mine too. The smell of lavender has a calming effect on people. (lavender by the way lavender produces a hormone that is very similar to estrogene - so don't over do it ;O)
If you have some lung issues and cough you could use some dried up mullein leaf. Just use baby leaf, as they have the cleanest taste. (mullein is by the way an EXCELLENT substitute for tobacco if you were ever to roll a joint with hash. Mullein in a joint will help disinfect lungs too. (if you're a smoker - none smokers shouldnt smoke mullein but make a tea.
Another nice plant for this is Lemon Verbena that tastes a lot like... yes lemon. And then we have Salvia officinalis (this is NOT the mexican salvia that will cause a very nasty trip if you were to put that in the vaporizer).
Just a couple of ideas for you. There are heaps of other plants you can use. Most of those herbs people use for aroma therapy you could use in the Volcano as well and get the herb's benneficial effects.

I have never tried a vaporizer. But everyone I know that has, says the same thing you said.
And if I do buy one, I don't want a cheap one that will break. The $650 price tag was a little
shocking... It is an investment I guess....

Don't do like I did...I have 5 different vapes just sitting around now...since I bought the volcano. I too thought it was pricy, well after trying the alternatives the volcano IS the only vape for me now. It has ended up costing me almost double now with all the other pcs. of crap.

One note the extremeQ from azier is a decent machine, slow as hell to fill but give a good vape.
 
Was lucky enough to get a Storz & Bickel Volcano Digit recently (sold valve). Have to say I'm interested in peoples vaping habits. Like how much they put in the chamber, how many times a at what temps do they vape each load.

I vape each load 3 times. Start at 185 then 190 then 195 to finish. 3 foot bags.

Sometimes I put a bigger load in and do 4 bags. 185,188,191,195.

How about you?
 
I have to agree with the combustion crowd. Vaping just doesn't get you as high as smoking. Period. Need proof?

Vape a bowl until popcorn flavor or longer, dump out what's left.
Smoke a bowl, dump out what's left.

Can't do anything with the leftover ash from the smoked bowl, it's done.
Now go ahead and make butter, or smoke the leftover vaped stuff. It still works?!? No matter how good you vape it, you'll always leave usable bud behind.

Smoking gets you much higher due to providing a broader cannabanoid profile when you combust compared to vaping. I tried to vape for weeks but eventually gave it up. Unless you just don't like getting very high, then you should smoke, don't vape. Maybe some people are different, but it was pretty obvious to me that vaping just wasn't going to get me as high as I wanted. No matter how much I vaped or how long I waited to reduce tolerance it didn't work for me.

I smoked for 20 years and wanted to just vape to taste my weed and give my lungs a break. Not anymore. Now that I know it doesn't give me nearly the same experience as smoking there's almost no point to it. Maybe healthier, sure?

I'll vape when I need to work, or have to visit family, or just want a shorter, clear high. But not often. It's gotten to the point where I'd rather not get high at all if I can't smoke.

If I were introducing a new person to weed I'd make them vape a little first to get a taste for it. It's like highness for beginners.
 
@JackTheBongRipper, About: Affects of Vaping vs Smoking.

You're correct; I'm just adding my highdeas. Vaping doesn't introduce all of the harmful carcinogens and heavier cannabinoids into your system. On the analog Volcano (not the digital display) a user will rarely surpass 8 on the temp dial BUT that's the temp needed to vaporize CBN and around 7 and higher is where you get your CBDs and those are HUGE to a medical patient. Also note that the carcinogens definitely affect the high as well.... So, no the vape high is not as "deep" as the smoked high due to, yes, a more narrow cannabinoid spectrum - but, at lower temps, the volcano provides a noticeably cleaner and more thc-dominant high. I keep my volcano on all day, but I take tokes when I need that deeper feeling - for the most part, the light and healthy volcano high suits me fine through the day. I save my duff/kiff and make canna-oil for brownies and such - since the duff is mostly depleted of the thc, these medibles are extremely potent in terms of body-effects. True, you need to cram A LOT of duff into as little oil as you can, but my duff brownies seriously fuck you up due to the concentration of cbn and cbd :) I haven't had medibles that worked for 5+ years, and I ate 1/3 of a batch of brownies (don't judge me) and I almost had a weed-freak-out; it was fantastic. -- sorry this f'ing post is so long.
 
Let me be more precise. Vaping is a clear high. Kind of one of those, "I think I'm high, yes I'm definitely high, I guess" types of highs I haven't felt since I was a teenager pulling up premature ditch weed, drying the fan leaves, stuffing them in a bong, and trying to get a buzz off them. I don't feel it physically nearly as much as I normally do, and it's not stoney. You don't have those duhhhhhh, whatttttt, moments as much. You can kind of ignore it if you need to act sober much more easily. You don't get couch-locked nearly as much and usually have energy to do more stuff. There's way less smell. There's less of a next day hangover. Eyes don't get as red. It's like Weed-Lite.

Some of that is good stuff at certain times. But all of this combined is pretty good evidence that you're not getting the same kind of high that you do when you smoke it. Some of the effects are left out. You just don't get as totally baked physically and mentally as you do when you add fire.

I generally don't want that, I want to get stoned. :joint::-|
 
MrCRC: Well said, it's kind of like banking the heavy high for later. The clear high is nice sometimes, I'm not too mad about buying a vape, I just thought it would be the same high.

I kind of thought I'd get into it more, but I usually just want the "natural" smoking experience I'm accustomed to. I also don't like edibles, not the same high. I'm really stuck in my ways, just want to get stoned.
 
Give those duff edibles a try man; all the body-high your missing from vaping is left over in your duff. Seriously; give it a shot. I use water + vegetable oil, in a slow cooker for 2 days; stirring; strain; separate; cook.

Also, throw some indicas in your vape. I don't think vaping sativas is for you at all lol. I think I'll always vape when I'm @ home; my lungs love it; but the high is definitely softer.
 
I love how the combustion crowd never gives in. i have vaped 2gr with one of you guys and they insist they are not high but then cant walk straight and eat 2 large pizzas and wana go get ice cream to. i personally have mine on 7.5-8 and get stoned as shit, can i get that high from smoking yes but its dirty and makes me tiered straight away. as for the guy saying dump your pipe out cant make brownies with that. well your right and you cant make brownies. well if you thik the smoke you exhale has 0% thc, thca, cbn, cbd ect. you sire are not as smart as you think you are. the difference is with vaped shit you can use the left overs rather than venting it out the window.
i burn more than vape but i still stand by vape it just takes longer and is more of a process i just dont have time for most times. you combustion guys need to tell the truth you prefer the dirty high its cool i like it to just not as much

My volcano just collects dust, the high from the vaporizor just is not enduring. i can smoke the same amount of weed from a bong and stay high longer. maybe im doing it wrong? i thought the same thing about my 45$ cheapo whip vaporizor so i upgraded to the volcano, because it was supposed to be the holy grail. .. what a waste..
