Volcano vaporizer how many hits

Instead, you can relax knowing that the vape will be enjoyable and relaxing. Plus, you can all share by passing the vapor filled bag around. Temperature is the one major variable with the Volcano Vaporizer, which makes the Volcano Vaporizer is very easy to use. Another of the best desktop vaporizers is the Arizer Extreme Q. Similar to the Volcano Vaporizer, the Arizer Extreme Q is one of the most popular desktop vaporizers currently on the market. It is a favorite among keen vapors and those that are just getting started.

This is because it offers a wide range of different benefits and it is extremely simple to use. The Arizer Extreme Q has a modern design, which sets it apart from many other desktop vaporizers. When you use the Arizer Extreme Q, you will produce a rich and powerful vapor flavor. The Arizer Extreme Q is also the first desktop vaporizer to boast a remote control. This allows you to control the temperature and fan with ease, precision and accuracy.

The Arizer is better for those who are on a budget, yet still want a high quality desktop vaporizer. Regardless of which desktop vaporizer that you choose, you are sure to enjoy you purchase. Both the Volcano Vaporizer and the Arizer Extreme Q produce high quality vapor and are very easy to use. Is it expensive? Is it worth it? Even if you have never used a desktop vaporizer before, you will find that the Volcano Vaporizer is straightforward to set up and use.

The Arizer Extreme Q is a less expensive option that still holds its own. For example, you can control the temperature and the fan with a remote control. The Volcano tabletop vaporizer comes in two different versions: the Volcano Classic and the Volcano Hybrid. At the core of these two premium tabletop vaporizers, many of the functions and benefits are the same. Both models feature precise temperature control and the innovative vapor balloon—perfect for vaping alone or sharing with a group of friends.

The vapor produced is identical from both units, and both models come with a 3-year warranty—we love brands that stand behind their products. Still, there are many ways that these two models differ. The original Volcano Classic is an analogue version that needs to be manually switched on and off.

The temperature settings are controlled by a small knob on the front of the device. The tube type whip bowls always need stirring. The Easy Valve also has that 26mm intake, while the Cyclone bowl only has a 19mm intake, but squeezed at the middle down to only 10mm or 11mm because of the screen holder.

Bottom line.. That comes from the filling chamber and valve system for the bags. First and foremost, thanks for all your videos and indepth reviews. I use your site as my primary reference guide for vape info. As the Vape King, I was hoping you could help me stay up. That being said, the link provided on your website no longer has any Volcanos in stock.

Any help you could provide would be outstanding. Thanks for the consideration, and keep up the great work! If you are a complete glutton for punishment, you can read it here. Short story, great purchase of a fantastic vaporizer. They have great stuff, great website, and great customer service. Thanks again, Bud. Keep going, mate, its well appreciated. Hey Bud— Greetings from Cascadia, land of legal herb.

Just wondering if anyone has figured out a way to use a whip with it, without the fan of course. Any thoughts? If so, why exactly? Yoyo I have a volcano which I bought using advice from this site and love all aspects of the problem except for one thing that is killing me… The dryness of it. My throat and mouth get super dry after use and if I use it on consecutive days the problem just gets worse and worse. I have tried to combat the problem by simply upping my water intake, and that alone will not fix the solution.

Please be my savior and tell me what I need to do to make my problem go away without sacrificing hopefully at all the quality of the volcano vaping experience. Thank you. I used to have the same issue. I have found that starting at around a 4. I will also use my water pipe by just placing the bag mouth piece to the pipe and then push, inhale, enjoy!!!! I normally get 2 nice bag fills from each of the following settings from one chamber filled with.

You can make the vapor more moist by adding precisely 1 or 2 drops of a 0 nic e liquid. Works amazingly well with the evo. Well, those days are over! Peace, Don Podlas. Watched a great deal of your videos covering desktop vaporizers and first I just wanted to thank you for putting the time and due diligence in your research and organization of the videos.

You try to stay as objective as possible, and have logical reasons for your recommendations. Excellent job! With that said, the link on your page for the volcano site was not working for me. It would redirect but the page was not loading. I am using Chrome for my browser. Cheers and stay up! If you happen to try herb however you will find the Volcano is very efficient in its use of it.

Good stuff! I just bought the volcano, I bought a magic flight before but didnt take to it for full time smoking and so didnt take up on vaping, this volcano, has blown me away, after my first day, I took all my smoking stuff and put it away, I dont think I will ever use it again, my bud bill has in a single day dropped by two thirds, I wish I had bought one earlier, I could have saved so much, im a heavy smoker who has been very broke for a long time, its my main expense, I think by changing to vaping in a month ive paid for the volcano, I cant actually believe it, I mainly switched for health reasons which I can only hope will improve, so far im coughing less but its early days with my volcano!!

All are great vapes but its time for something new, my question to you is which desktop vaporizer has the densest vapor and or thickest vapor? I dont care about the price. Ive been looking into the volcano, herbalizer, and the vapexhale. I also have another question, can you fill the volcano bags with about. I plan on using the unit by my self most of the time but like I said, I just care about the thicker vapor that would feel like a stronger hit.

I like the herbalizer, dont care about the fact that it looks kinda cheap, just wondering which seems to produce the most vapor out of them all. You have the option with a bag vaporizer to make the vapor as dense as you want. Firstly the bowl is huge. However you can put about 4 or 5 times that amount of herb in it if you want to.

You can also crank the heat up to about F to F and do the whole thing at once if you can stand to breath vapor that dense that is. I do mine at F, F, and F. The last one could easily be two, at F and F but conservation is not my strong point. I like to stretch it out because each bag is slightly different in taste and effect than the others my favorite is bag 2.

So the quick answer is YES you will get vapor as dense as you want from the Volcano. I nuglected to mention how these videos have really helped, I really appreicate them, reading comments and getting excited about trying the beast volcano when it arrives. This review makes me want to start saving. All this info has really helped to steer me in the right direction with purchases. I initially bought the Pax a few years back after checking out your reviews and was pretty happy.

I switched over completely to only vaping for the most part too when I bought it. With that said vape quality really comes into play for me and I must say the Volcano really delivers in that realm. Factor in low maintenance, some mobility with balloons, a solid company that has been at it for awhile, strong reviews by all that own one, and I found my winner!

I even used your link to purchase man and that company is solid as well. You get what you pay for a lot of times but its important to have somebody checking that out for ya just for the fyi. Thanks for everything that your doing for the cause man! Only 2 steps? How about 10 in my book and that applies to all portables, not just the Pax which I happen to think is the best of them. Sounds like you are enjoying yours as much as I am mine, happy vaping!

Thanks Bud, for your great review. I only ask because of the huge price difference…. Can you tell me if that is in any way different from their dry herb filling chamber? Is the structure of the thing different in the liquid one? Can you enlighten me? It did work well for some but they seemed to be in the minorinority.

Most complain of either it not working or working very inconsistently, especially with the heat control. I would suggest that if you want to spend less either buy a used Volcano from 3bay or buy one of the other desktops that seem to please a lot of folks. Hey Bud! Great review! Unfortunately I came across your blog after already purchasing a Volcano Classic. I thought the reason was contributed to not vaping any deep [herbs], but its totally the vaporizor.

Either way im still figuring it out being a relative new smoker myself. Volcano is a great way to experiment! I ended up going with the crafty. Do you know if you could use the whip from a hot box and use it on the volcano?

Got my Volcano and used it for the first time last night. I ground up some otherwise poor vaping herb to a fine grind in my new Tobacco Shredder great little machine! I appeared to get a good healthy bag of vapor from it. Sat down to enjoy and 3 draws later my lungs figured out what was up and I just about coughed them up and out. Then someone must of whacked me upside the head with a hammer since my brain chose that moment to go on holiday. No comparison to the many portable vapes I own.

With a bit less herb and lower temps it performs wonderfully. I find the Volcano hits a good deal harder than smoking even with the same amount of herb. So it actually saves you herb and lots of it. Where it really shines though is in the draw. After 45 years of being on the resinous end of a [doob] this is a real pleasure. Hi Bud, I purchased the Volcano Classic using your link but find that the vapor is too harsh for me when I get to 5 on the dial. Can you recommend any water pipe adapters to help cool the vapor or other ways to cool down the vapor or make it smoother?

I bought yesterday the volcano classic having watched your reviews and decided to get it over the digital. But having used the digital recently at my buddies place i found the classic to be a little primitive in terms of temp control. My friend goes on and on about buzz crafting, setting the digi to , then , then etc etc. I set up the classic and set the not that accurate dial to 6 and i got great baloons, but i just dont have the level of control for the buzz crafting with the classic and i hate feeling that i regret not spending the extra buck for the digital.

Is it all BS? Please let me know your thoughts on this.. Now you convinced me hands down that the volcano is the best ever vaporizer, i need to get me a handheld so its between the crafty and the mighty for me, again having watched your reviews. I noticed you rate the crafty slightly higher than the mighty and was wondering why? I know the mighty is bigger and has a temp control display while the crafty has to be controlled from a smartphone?

Im not that concerned about battery life so much, more interested in portability and best quality vape possible. Is the crafy as good as the might? Hey man. I just completed my sophomore year of college. A year ago, I had finally figured out what made me struggle in school while my friends seemed to have an easier time: I had ADHD. Medicine helped tremendously, but it made it difficult to get to sleep at night.

I was averaging maybe 5 hours. I tried to find a solution, but nothing worked and I kept hearing the same thing: [the herb of the gods].

I was never against it, but had never tried it. Knowing little about it, I researched. Looking into alternatives, vaporizing seemed like the best way. But there is so much false information out there. I found your channel and then eventually your site where you offered a wealth of knowledge on all these vaporizers that I could consider. You made it obvious to me that what I needed was a volcano, so I made that purchase because of you.

And I get to sleep at night and live a life more similar to a normal person. You had a really positive impact, man. I just wanted you to know that you really helped me out. Thank you for your great website. I just ordered my Volcano through the link on your site because I want you to make a commission in return for the informational video you have made.

They sell these all over EBay but your site looks much safer. The smaller your vapor path the more efficient your device generally is. So that being said using a gaint bag to collect your vapor is a terrible idea. The one saving grace bag vapes have is that any moron can use it. I have one sitting in the corner of my room where I never use it.

This is an easy way to tell the inexperienced for the experienced or at the very least the uninformed from informed. My Easy Valve bags seem to be springing leaks at about the two week mark. I suggest not letting the bag fill completely so there is no stress on the bag where it connects to the valve. The miniVap is the only portable vaporizer to have been submitted to the same test lab at Leiden University in the Netherlands for performance analysis as the Volcano.

It matched the Volcano for [active ingredient] levels and temperature reliability as well as lack of vapor impurities, off-gassing, etc. Looking at the Volcano I was wondering if you recommended the dial version or the digital?

Is the Digital Volcano pretty much the same in terms of temperature control compared to the dial one? Does the herbalizer have more control because of the halogen bulb? The digital model does have slightly more precise temperature control, but the Herbalizer would still be even more precise than that. For most users having this level of temp control is not necessary but if you like to experiment and get different results you might want to consider the Herbie. But an old friend pulled out a Pax last week and I was very impressed with it.

My question: which vape is best for a weekend user like me? Those all work with as little as 0. Hey Bud, I was wondering: How long does vapor last in a bag, and does it lose potency or leak out? And why do the bags need to be replaced? After a few months of regular use your balloon might develop a few small holes just from normal wear and tear, or if you tend to leave the vapor sitting in the bag a lot it may build up residue a little faster.

On average my easy valve bags have lasted me months each of regular use. I have noticed the logo is starting to fade on the shell of the volcano. Is it common for the logo to fade? Does volcano replace the outer shell of the volcano? It came down the other day and im impressed it excuse the pun but I love the classic look and feel and I am now only waiting on some product to use it with.

It is very hard to get hold of where I am and costs [a lot]! How much do you think is needed to get just myself to where I want to be? You can try putting a little bit of solid concentrate on the liquid pad to see if it works for you, I would spread a little out as much as you can across the top of the pad to increase surface area.

Hello, This thread has being going on awhile! Well i saw your video and was impressed. I went and got the DIGital. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge. You prolly helped sell a lot of Volcanos, they should throw you one!

Hey Bud, I use herbs for medical reasons. Thank you for your effort in maintaining such a useful and informative vape site! With your opinion and countless others in mind I bought a classic Volcano a week ago after using a generic ez-vape whip style vaporizer for over two years. So this is what the big deal about vaping is actually all about! Night and day difference, I find myself glancing over at my Volcano and smiling throughout the day, worth every penny!

I considered the Aromed, but my hand function is greatly dimensioned thanks to MS so the glass parts were a deal breaker for me, as was the plastic lid etc.

During a multiple bag session is there any harm in having the Volcano cycling with idle stretches over a 45 minute to an hour before a long period of cool down, or should it be turned off after each bag fill? I also wondered, do people cover the top of their Volcanos while not it use? Happy Holidays. Just wanted to thank you for all the good advice over the years.

I finally have an opportunity to give back something. I needed to buy some new O-rings for my Volcano and used your affiliate link where I purchased them using Paypal. Good luck and stay up. So let me just say I really appreciate your videos! I actually came to this site to decide what type of vape would be best for my dad as a gift. Is it possible to use a whip or tube with this vape? Hey man, thanks for the reply. It was a few weeks between my post asking about a Sublimator review, and your response, and in the meantime i ended up buying a Sublimator!

I did lots of research first, and really found very little info on it, that wasnt from the inventor. Almost all reviews online were from people who hadnt used it, giving negative reviews based on the name, or the high price. First, I owned the original Arizer Extreme as my first vape, and as mediocre as i now know it is, it was a solid every day vape for me for a long time.

The glass breaks easily, and literally everything except the actual heating tower was replaced several times even the power supply once but its all pretty cheap to replace, and i cant say many negative things about it, other than its just not that potent or great, but you get what you pay for i guess. After about 10days with this thing, i can say this thing is amazing!

I find this a bit confusing. I could see these being the top portable vapes for sure, but them being rated 1 and 2 , to me, suggests they are better than the herbalizer, volcano , etc. So Ive had the volcano classic for 3 months now and love it! But I have a question that I cant seem to find an answer to and I was hoping you might be able to help me out.

When I switch off my volcano after use the the red light does not fully go out, but if i turn the nob up and it clicks thermostat turning off noise the faint light then goes out with the click. Does your volcano do this too? Is this normal or is there something more sinister at play with the electronics? I own the Plenty, and have had the arizer extreme original for over 5 yrs, and am going to be upgrading soon. I do have it on my list of future possibilities, thanx for your request man!

Do you wanna take a huge rip, or do you wanna fill a balloon and chill and sip vapor from it? I think combos are at a disadvantage to bag or whip specific whips. The volcano is a better bag experience and the plenty is a better whip, its better to have both those two than a verbalizer, although maybe since it does both well the verbalizer is the best if you can only have one. Thanks Bro! I find the vapor it produces to be super strong and smooth, and I think it provides the closest experience to combusting as far as the end results.

Bud — very nice, well thought out reviews on your site. This is one of the few products that you spend big on at first, then it starts paying you back because your herb lasts much longer! Anyway, because you share my exact sentiments about the Volcano, I decided to come to you to hear what you thought about the Plenty — and based in your review, I decided to purchase it. Your review of the Plenty was exactly what I needed to hear…thank you for that! So unless you have a group of people vaping from it, this means you will almost always pack just a little 0.

You can use it the other way you described also, but since this vape take a few minutes to heat up and cool down it might not be the most efficient method. Hey man! I absolutely love the volcano and have been using it for about a year now. I was just wondering how much material you tend to use in a typical chamber?

I read once that 0. And how many balloons do you get from that chamber? I typically put about 0. How many balloons you get will vary a little bit depending on grind consistency and how much you pack, but for me when I pack 0. LOL the first 5 bags should last you a year.. Is the Volcano suitable for one person or a couple? Can you vape the herb for one or two balloons and then vape the same herb again the next day, instead of filling four balloons in one session?

This week I have been using only 0. I have also experimented using 0. Crank up the heat a little and re-vap old used material…this works too!

The only thing I would add is get a Magic Flight Finishing grinder as the 2nd stage of your grinding process…. Thanks for your reply Dave. I ended up buying the Volcano Classic. Very happy with my purchase. I nearly changed my order to the Vapexhale because I read a comment in another forum but I had read about people breaking the glass accidentally, and I can be a klutz.

So not a safe choice for me. I highly recommend the Volcano for its ease of use and build quality. The latter is very important in such an expensive device. If you are going to fork out hundreds of dollars for a high-end vaporizer you want it to last for years ideally.

So thanks Dave for your reply and thanks to the Vape Critic for his reviews. So biting the bullet I ordered a Volcano Classic this week and it has arrived….. The flight box is great and I have no bad words about it but the difference between the two is worlds apart IMHO…. If you are in the market for a at home vape…wait, save, get the money together and get the Volcano!

Thaks for all the reviews and advice…. I had accidentally dropped the herb chamber into my dogs water dish I know it sounds funny. Is this normal or should I send it for repairs? I would greatly appreciate any advice you have to offer. Also , love your site , keep up the great work Bummer man!

The good news is that if anything is wrong with or missing from your chamber you can easily find replacement parts. If you go to VolcanoVape. Thanks for the excellent reviews. They helped me steer towards the Volcano and away from the cheaper do-it-all models. The Volcano is an incredibly solid and professional device. Not a toy like many other vaporizers.

This machine could stand in a laboratory between Eppendorf centrifuges etc and not look out of place at all. Top of the line engineering throughout. Using it is entirely hassle-free with perfect results every time and nothing to clean up afterwards at least with Easy Valve. You can hear it but its not very loud. The sound is there because it is not a fan but a membrane pump, a vastly superior solution than a fan in this type of application, especially in the long run fans perform increasingly worse over time.

Also a pump can create much more pressure and the airflow can never be reversed. Hey Bud , i recently looked into buying a vaporizer about 4 weeks ago after i noticed some pretty painful lung issues after about 10 years of only using glass water devices to get huge draws , maybe a little too huge. I was very skeptical about vaporizers in general , but i had to give my body a break so i went ahead and bought the Volcano Classic after watching your reviews a couple of times.

It really gave me assurance that this was something very well made and could be used extensively without too much worry. My lungs already feel better and the Volcano works fantastically.

I did have to experiment with the temperature setting a bit , at After testing it out some more iv found out for me personally the dial being set at 7. Really great. Great review man. I came across your videos on YouTube and found your info in the volcano very helpful. I was going to get a digital one then realized after your demo that a classic one is just as good.

Thank bro. I have had a volcano for at least 12 years I leave it on all day so it will be ready at any given moment…and it is still truckin!! I have been through many vapes some I threw away others ebay…. I am 70 yrs old I vape all day retired i cant stand to smoke now.. So far this habit has not kept me from anything, I enjoy good health. Also, forgot to ask. What do you do with your vaped remains? Bought the Volcano Digit based on your review and a couple others last weekend and I have to say it is the best piece of kit I have ever purchased.

I have been smoking for over 20 years and I will say that as long as I am at my house, I do not see myself using anything else ever again. On a side note, I bought my wife a Puffit handheld vape the one shaped like an albuterol inhaler last year for Christmas and definitely DO NOT recommend it, it is a piece of junk.

I would really like to know your opinion about this vape. Your the vape oracle should I buy a sublimator for my UK shatter? Hey bro thanks for the video, my brother never smoke I always have, he has since gotten into vaperisers and is loving them.

I had my first vape a month or so ago… Loved it. Now on te search for the perfect vape! Kudos for the blog! Ps ur a babe. It gets dusted off now and again when I have a large group of people over. I find that it works well in groups especially with people who are inexperienced with vaping because anyone can suck air out of a bag.

Up until about six years ago you could either get a volcano or vapor brothers or something of the like. My second problem with the volcano is that using a bag for vaping is about the worst idea ever conceived in the vape world.

When dealing with vapor rather than smoke condensation is a huge factor when it comes to effecentcy. The longer the vapor has to sit and the larger the surface the more thc you will lose. My third problem with it is that it is way overpriced. When It comes to my daily driver I use log vapes.

I also notice there are no log vapes reviewed on here so I would recommend checking at least one of them out. I had previously used myrtlezaps and rockzaps but I now use one called the E-nano and I almost never use anything else. The E-nano also uses a variable voltage box so you can vape at any temp you desire.

Think about it like this, when you take a draw from a whip-style vape you need to draw for at least seconds normally to get a satisfactory amount of vapor.

When you fill a balloon with vapor you basically have it on tap, no more taking long draws to get a lot of vapor, no more pulling hard or dealing with draw resistance, just take a 2 second sip and you have all the vapor you need.

Also as long as you draw all of the vapor from the bag within about 5 minutes there is very minimal vapor loss due to condensation, and there is very little flavor loss either.

I wish I had found this site before investing in my DaVinci. It is so much better than smoking on several levels, but I see now that I could have done better for myself if I had found your videos first.

My question is about quantity of dry herb. Should I vape with just a pinch if that is all I want to use, or does it work fine to fill the chamber and reuse several times? Grinding appears to be something that I am neglecting, and I will do a better job of that starting today. But do you also recommend a pollen press for creating hard little disks?

This is all so much more effective than what I grew up with. While filling up a bag on the easy valve does it smell inside.? Like if I take the bag outside to vape would i have to worry about odor in my house? Also one more thing abt magic flight ok do I take a draw for up to 2 seconds same as volcano? Also mix it with chamomile too? Using the Magic-Flight Launch Box will be different.

With that vape you want to take long, slow draws about seconds each. Can other bags be changed to mouth piece or must I buy only bags with mouth piece per-installed? How long can I wait before the vapor in the bag loses its potentiality? What kind of storage bag for the Volcano do you recommend? Hey John if you go with the Easy Valve kit the balloons come pre-assembled, and if you choose the Solid Valve kit you can make your own balloons, any size you want and with whatever material you want.

I myself prefer the Easy Valve and find it to be the better option for most people, but it just depends how bad you want to make your own bags. The Solid Valve is also more parts and a little bulkier, so it changes the experience a tiny bit. Your site has changed my life when it comes to vape vs. I have recently spent the money for the volcano and the pax based off your recommendations and never happier. That said, i have watched your video of tips for the pax and i have a question.

You recommend fine grind and dry herbs for optimal performance on all vapes. That said, what is your opinion on putting herbs in the chamber and running the fan on the volcano without heat to dry out material for the volcano and pax both?

Any faster than air dry? Potential adverse outcomes? Thanks for all you do. Most informative, honest site. You also may need to grind your material finer. Temperature and grind consistency can affect how smooth and comfortable the vapor is, as well as how much visible vapor you get. Try drying out your material and grinding it up very fine, then pack enough in the herb chamber to completely cover the bottom screen. The vapor you get if you follow these steps should be smooth and comfortable, let me know how you make out!

So i bought a volcano vaporizer based mainly off your reviews of several vaporizers a well as word of mouth advertisement. Thanks for the info. I have a Volcano Digit since and it runs perfectly like the first day, and it has been working almost daily since.

This thing is durable and barely needs maintenance. BRO, I have been looking for a decent vape review site and your whole site is on the money. Literally the best of the best of the best. Keep it up, you keep the world a decent place!!! You really get into the point and explain very well the pros and cons of each device.

But nothing extraordinary. Am I supposed to have any effects immediatelly after drawing, or the effect comes later? I think I might not be using properly. I setup my volcano at level 6 as you advised. And tried to fill the surface of the screen in the load chamber. Chris How dirty do you allow your bags to get before cutting and vaping? Or give me an idea of how many uses before cutting.

Also, when you Vape the bags, will you see the vapor? A few more uses at this point and then a fresh bag. As for seeing the vapor, yes, and at various temps you will notice a difference in density of the vapor. How do you use the left over vapor poo to make edibles I vape at with the digital and have saved most of my leftovers not sure what to do. Try using the liquid pad looks like steel wool , or use a bed of vaporizer leftovers to support the kief. I make a little sandwich out of weed.

Few pinches of weed on the bottom of the chamber, then a nice layer of kief and then a layer of weed on top of that. I like to think the top layer of weed stops any kief sticking to the metal bits and getting wasted somehow. Anyway, the sandwich works for me when vaping at about a 6. I love my volcano. So these settings are probably specific to that. Also my bag is the size it came pre loaded which I guess is about 40cm tall.

Bag 1 What I do is set the dial to 6 to pre heat. When the light goes off I turn on the fan and fill the bag. Bag 2 give the chamber a shake and re-attach the bag. Put it on the volcano, and turn the dial up to 8. When the light goes off, turn on the fan. Bag 3 give the chamber a stir with the wooden end of the brush, re-attach bag, p tut on volcano, turn to 9, wait for light to go out, turn on fan.

Product everywhere, including in your bag. Total nightmare! I also cooked with my vape poo. Made some biscuitty truffles. We found that the denser bags achieved only with that setting gave us the desired results, as opposed to lower numbers. What should I do? What happened? Regardless, it sounds like you have a problem with your thermostat. Good luck, and let us know how it works out.

I bought my classic Volcano about two weeks ago. The very first bowl had that minty-fresh taste. Has anybody else had this experience. Any suggestions?

Hi everyone, got my vape in the mail today, going to be giving it a blast tonight. Does anyone have any temperature guidlines for very dry product? Reading through the posts on this page, 6 seems to be the average suggested temperature for not to smokey, and probably a good starting point for dry green? Rehydrate your product. Put this in water for about 5 minutes then put in the container with your product.

It has been my experience that more water means more vapor. This changes the flavor of the product. Re-hydrating will only increase amount of water vapor but not the active ingredient. Dusty dry and finely powdered product will vaporize more efficiently. I empathize. You were on the right track going to lower temps. You have to experiment which you have done. I urge you to do some local networking or plan a trip to safely obtain better stuff.

Those doofuses selling to you are doofuses. My heart is out to anyone smoking the kind of weed I tolerated in high school. Hello everyone! The comments here have been super helpful in understanding the pros, cons and effects at different temperatures. But in return ill hopefully be able to provide some good insight for noobs like me!

One question I have right off the bat is; in the UK we seem to get 2 extremes of either really dry crumble with your finger stuff or wet almost gooey stuff.

Could someone perhaps outline some temperature sets for each? Thanks in advance, ill keep you posted. Bone dry maybe try 5 to start. Someone else mentioned another trick on the site here somewhere…trying to find it still. But anyway, Congratulations on getting a vaporizer. The best way to rehydrate herb is with orange peels in the bag. It gives it a nice citrus taste.

Also, apple skins or potato skins work well to. Apple sometimes gets sticky but orange works best!!!! The only thing with rehydrating is be careful its very easy to make your weed go mouldy… a proper cigar humidifier would probs be best. Keep it bone dry, it will help with grinding it fine very important so the will be able to evaporate evenly and quickly.

Adding moisture produce more water vapor and add to visual effect only. You may be feeling the effects from your product, but it is not from any of these 3 main cannabinoids.

I notice also that most people are not mentioning how much product they are using, which also affects taste and vapor density. I use about that or a little less usually. About the thickness of a quarter, just enough to cover the screen and my bags are 3 ft long. Have you had any success vaporizing at those temperatures without any combustion? I wonder which cannabinoids are getting released in the F range that make me feel so good. Because I avoid the smoke, I get very uplifting, functional highs.

Ya man likwise, I use. I mean, are any of you actually seeing the vapor in a well lighted room? If so, then what you are seeing is simply smoke. But there are still occasional pulls that produce a little amount of smoke.

But the point of vaporizing for me at least is to avoid ALL smoke. I've been a toker for over 20 years and I assure I've had meaningful effects vaporizing as low as F. For me it all depends on the dryness of the herb.

I assume you could go lower than F but I only go low enough to avoid smoke. If you're really not producing ANY smoke, then you must be using moist herb or I must have an alien Volcano. My apologies if I should not have mentioned the special ingredients. Please edit my post if it is unacceptable in any way. For example, I just placed the chamber on the heat at F for about seconds. I then filled a bag and I am getting a very noticeable amount of smoke.

There can,is and are different densities of vapor, just as there are different densities of smoke. As far as your other comment of..

The Volcano only goes to a certain temp for a reason, just so you all know. I agree it is possible to see the vapor of cannabinoids in proper lighting. But I know the difference between the taste and look of cannabinoid vapor and smoke. I highly doubt a vaporizer could produce cannabinoid vapor that appears as dense as smoke.

It is definitely visible in the right lighting. But cannabinoid vapor does not look and taste like smoke. I definitely know the effects of THC. The point I was originally trying to make is I am getting good amounts of cannabinoids and their effects at lower temps that do not produce any smoke.

And that explains why I been getting great highs and not missing the effects of THC. I would have never thought I could get a lower percentage of toxins relative to cannabinoids while producing that much smoke, but NORML seems to be saying that. So maybe this is why so many here are vaporizing at higher temps? I wish you guys would have told me about this sooner.

The research used high-performance liquid chromatography HPLC to determine the amount of cannabinoids and by-products produced by vaporization using the Volcano. They found C F to contain the highest optimum ratio of cannabinoids to by-products. And even though no smoke is produced at C F , it has the lowest worst ratio of cannabinoids to by-products. Per the research, C F appears to be a good temp for a lower percentage of by-products.

But the lowest percentage of by-products is actually produced at C F. I just filled a bag at F without pre-warming the chamber. It was a lot of smoke but no where near as dense as that from full combustion. And although a notable amount of smoke is produced, the leftover herb after 1 bag does not look burnt. It appears the very initial combustion taking place is not where the majority of smoke toxins are created. Evidently full combustion temperatures are higher than F and that is where the majority of smoke tars, carcinogens and other toxins are emitted.

Jim, do you have a digit or classic? If you have the digit, what does your temp max out at? Just wondering how consistent they are to each other. Also , scroll down a little and see my post about couchlockcafe. Flavor is still pleasant with a lesser amount of product. My preferred temp right now for catching a buzz is F.

It sure looks like there is some smoke being produced but maybe it is all just very dense vapor. At F, I produce a much less dense vapor that I cannot see in bright light unless I have a black background. I can easily see it if using only the light from my laptop which allows me to have a very dark background. My throat is not irritated at all at F but because of the denser vapor and possibly some smoke my throat gets irritated after a few bags at F.

I am also content with the results at F but have a lot of trouble believing that a lot of what I can see is not smoke. I appreciate the info you and others have provided. Still have much to learn though …. I just want to add that vaping temps are greatly affected by the moisture level of the herb. At F, I was apparently getting very little to no smoke for a current batch of herb.

After grinding some from the same batch and letting it sit out in low humidity for a day or 2, it got much drier. Vaping that at F produced a noticeable amount of smoke. Unfortunately, there will never be a magic temp that works for all herb. Low heat is best when burning your bud. Flavor takes a back seat in a cloudy cannabis mix that puts an emphasis on blasting bud quickly. Higher temperature burns up a lot of THC on initial boil, while disintegrating flavinoids that would have boiled at much lower temps.

I personally believe that any temp above 5 is fine, depeninding on what your wanting your volcano to do. I find on about 6. I confess to still being an amature only had the volcano since november so welcome the opinion of others on this matter. Can you explain in detail how you use the Volcano without the bag? You mean you put your face right over top of it, mouth over chamber and inhale away?

Yes, please explain. So glad to hear all of your experiences — thank you. So I come to you with a question, keeping this in mind:we are on a very conservative budget. I have tried almost every temp from fh. Also, what I put in only just barely covers the screen. I was wondering, first time I use the volcano do I need to heat it up and let the fan run for mins or so? My new digi did have a different taste to it than others I used.

Higher temps will not be bad for you. You will get a good punch indeed at that temp but not bad or toxic. Will a Humidor bring back the moisture to my material.
