Which Desktop? Volcano vs Da Bhudda??

Wow thanks for all the replies!

After some thought and consideration ive thought about the volcano and discounted it based on research and both comments on here regarding too much air filling the balloon and also solo sessions.


I was interested in the mighty portable but im wondering if the vapour is too hot as the short mouth piece looks close to the oven.

Im getting a sore throat from the arizor solo as ive probably got the heat too high but also the stem is close to the heat source.

So this left me thinking. I want a vaporizer that produces the best vapour and the coolest vapour if that makes sense??

Would this make whip style vaporizers more suitable? Do they have cooler air delivery ??

The search continues. Im. Getting itchy fingers now tho, want to order something

I haven't used a Da Buddha but I own a SSV and a Volcano. The Volcano hasn't really had much use since I got the SSV. The Vocano is much more limited by the bag system and the taste suffers through the bag more then a whip. The main reason I don't like the Volcano much though is because getting the vapour to be thick and not airy is a tough task, it requires the perfect sized bag set up for the dose you are wanting. Otherwise you end up with an airy, unsatisfying hit that costs you material.
Essentially I find the SSV with the @DDave mod to be infinitely better then a Volcano at a lot less cost, as its more efficient, harder hitting, better tasting and more versatile for micro dosing and macro dosing. It also looks a lot cooler than a Volcano. The Volcano may have slightly better vapour quality whatever that actually means lol, but it isn't better when you hardly feel the vapour lol. Smokers hardly feel anything off a Volcano hit but I've seen them be intensely high off one wand hit from my SSV. From my experience I can;t understand why anyone would prefer a Volcano unless you are into spending more for less effect, taste and versatility. The Volcano may be the most overrated Vaporizer of our generation

SSV sounds great, is it better that Da Bhudda?

Only thing put me off the SSV was the wand wasn't lockable into the heat source..?

What is a DDave mod?

Forget the bubbler. All arizers have a bong attachement you can buy separately. I have used both my arizer and my arizer v tower on a bong with added ice water and ice in the bong. The hit is so smooth you will not cough as much as a regular bong hit. https://arizer.com/store/arizer-air-accessories/ its called the air frosted glass third party attachment. available in 15mm or 19 mm. The arizer v-tower already fits a 19 mm bong. You just need to buy another glass whip attachement/ or the new glass elbow adapter. Once for the bong and the other for the vaporizer. That is why I love my arizers! They are so versitile. You can still take bong hits and the are super clean.

I have even heard people even getting creative using a organic cotton/sponge attachemnet that the fit into the mouthpiece of a bong to get clean hits. But you would not need that if you are attaching a vaporizer to the bong.

Im now looking for a vaporizer with a smooth hit so this could be for me. Im getting a sore throat from my arizor solo so I want to avoid this on my new purchase

Using a bong sounds nice

Is this the arizor that has the electronics that pass through the vapour path?

That was the only thing that put me off!

Yes the arizer v-tower whip produced way less problems than the arizer air. By the time the whip gets to your mouth it is cooled air. With the extreme Q which has a fan, I am certain the air is even cooler. Never had a problem with coughing with arizer v tower. And as I mentioned before you can even attach that into a bong 19mm to make it even more cooler. You just need to buy an extra glass piece - call glass elbow adapter. https://arizer.com/store/v-tower-accessories/ But it is not neededThe only thing I don't like is i find the v-tower has a way more powerful affect, but just make sure you buy a scale and put 0.1 to 0.2 herb in there. I made the mistake of filling the compartment which was 0.5 and it couched me!




Good luck.

Honestly the arizer v-tower with the whip is super strong! Stronger than any bong hit.! It couched me many times if you like that feeling which proves its affective. But if you want expensive I heared volcano is top on the charts for recreational and medicinal uses. They use the valcano in hospitals, and its actually a product that health Canada recccomends.

Il definitely take a look It sounds good.. Any bad points?

If you want the smoothest vapor possible I'd suggest dabbing rosin off an enail. I have an Arizer, Volcano, Flowerpot, etc. and an electronic nail is as smooth and cool as it gets.

The only bad points I have is that I found it way to strong with anything above 0.3 grams. Stick to 0.1 or 0.2 grams. Other than that Its a durable piece that works like a charm. Very versitile which is why I love the arizers.

For considerably less than the cost of a Volcano, someone could buy an Arizer Extreme Q, a @DDave kit to go with it AND a Tubo Evic.

Whats a DDave kit. Please point me in the right direction. I need to see this set up

An Herbalizer seems like a better choice than a Volcano. There’s more flexibility, more control, more intake methods, faster heat up, and it should use far less herb. I’ve heard of the volcano being a bit of a hog when it comes to the amount of material needed.

It’s worth mentioning that it won’t produce super thick vapour but it will absolutely wreck you 15 mins later. It’s like a phantom punch that you never saw coming.

There’s a lot of vapes out there to choose from so take your time and expand your view.

Interested in the herbalizer. Did you say it doesn't produce much vapour or was you talking about the volcano?

Im going to check out the herbalizer.

Its not needed . I do not use the Ddave kit. the heater works very well without a modification.

I would even buy the arizer v-tower, but if you like the fan, bag option. the exteme would be worth it for an extra 50 or so bucks.

Its an amazing piece for the price. You won't need another vape after you use the whip, trust me on this its very smooth and I have asthma!

Thanks. I watched your video and I like the v tower however warm up time of 10 to 15 minutes is too long for me. Also prefer the sound of the fan.

Il check the extreme out but the electronics bother me, apparently the vapour or air ways pass over the electronics and im all into the health aspect of these things and that worries me which leads me to one thing.... The herbalizer. It looks awesome but need to do some. Research and compare it to the extreme.

The Herbalizer is able to produce some pretty great vapor. They are giving 20% off with code '420' right now. Honestly based upon some of your feed back you would be well served by introducing a water piece into your airflow, this will both cool, filter and moisturize the vapor.

Since I purchase the NewVape FlowerPot ShowerHead for dry herb (Hard to find concentrates here) my other vapes have been collecting dust. You might consider it as it can accommodate all needs.

Get the volcano. Vapor on tap. Easy for your wife to use. Reliable. I also have the mighty and it is also great (my favorite portable), but the vapor is a lil hotter because of the shorter path. But there are ways to alleviate that.

Not sure where you got 10 to 15 minutes. They are referring to break it in without cannabis. Same as you would do with a new toaster oven or oven. You need to break it in. U do that for all vapes. You let it go through a cycle without herb to clean out any manufacture oils etc.. It should be a practice for any vaporizer.

Not sure about what you mean by the electronics. Its a separate heating chamber which is connected by glass on glass which is the whip.

Good luck in your choice, hope this helps.

I believe the SSV is a better vaporiser then the Da Buddha, but it costs a little more, they are very similar but SSV is more customisable. You have a choice of three heater covers to use and they all perform differently. The Da Buddha has just one but it is the heater cover the @DDave mod uses (ground glass).
I think the Da Buddha may perform the same as the SSV with the mod on though so it may not be necessary to get the SSV if you want to save on some money. But I don't know this for certain as I have never used a Da Buddha. One other difference is the heater cover on SSV is angled downward compared with the Da Buddha which is 90 degree outward.

When using the ground glass heater cover the wand can be locked in to the heater cover, as this is the heater cover normally used with water pipes so can be used hands free.

The @DDave mod is a different wand which has the material a lot closer to the heater, this increases the efficiency dramatically and I also experience a big improvement in flavour. It extracts the load faster then through the normal wands which takes more hits to get through. @DDave sells kits which contain an economy wand and a micro mod wand which is for really small micro doses. When I use the SSV though I always use the economy wand, this is a good sized hit, not as big as the stock wand but not tiny like the micro mod one. If you google DDave mod it will come up at the top of search results as he has a website. The mod also comes with a water pipe adapter which you can use to vape through your favourite bubbler so you can get cool, smooth and very effective vapour through this set up.

If you are looking to use through water mainly though it might be worth looking into the Vapexhale Evo, as this is an awesome vape to use though a water tool, I never find the hits to be hot or harsh from this vape. The Flowerpot is definitely worth looking at but the vapour it produces will need more cooling then the Evo as I think its stronger but hotter. I do prefer the Flowerpot slightly but it is a more specialised set up then the Evo. The Flowerpot is like an e-nail where the Evo is more like a normal vape. The Flowerpot takes ages to cool down and is very hot so ideally needs a "vapour station" to be used safely.

Hope this helps you when making a choice.

Or you can go with the LSV and have a more clean, direct vapor path rather than having vapor passing through a long silicone whip. Other than losing the whip, the components of an LSV is just about identical to both the SSV and the Buddha. It's a great mate for water tools as well.
