Did I Make a Mistake Buying, or Am I Making one by Selling?

So, background first.
Long time combuster.
After wanting to convert, two weeks ago, I couldn't stop buying vapes. Still can't.
Sold my combustion tools minus the bong I vape with.....but here's the deal.
Im completely converted. I'm going through the "lung adjustment" phase, I can tell because I exercise daily/vigorously and cardios a bit harder and after vaping I'm a little tight chested, more than I was smoking...but I've already read and determined why I believe from many of your stories. Lungs trying to clear shit out...

So, I bought a used volcano. Then a solo. Then an mflb. Then a thermovape.
I find I'm constantly using my solo, and the others.....besides the volcano.
It's loud, cumbersome, not as satisfying vapor.....but its a proven durable workhorse with 2 years on the warranty.
I just put it on ebay, for a bit under 4, taking a slight slight loss. Might go lower.
I want to sell it for an extreme q, accesories, and "play money "........probably another vape (OCD MAYBE!?)
It seems like with a bag option, elbow, whip hits, and water capability its just more suited for me. smaller and quiter as well from what I hear.

Is this a good idea or a terrible mistake? Will the EQ give dense vapor, decent bags, etc?
I do like the lifetime warranty as well on parts and their service I hear is great. I love the solo......


I need to know, keep the listing up? Keep the cano? Keep cano, order eq, be broke? Sell cano and buy something else?
Shutup, no one cares?

Responses appreciated!

I've tried one Volcano classic solid valve (very old model, that blows even a bit slower than EQ's maximum fan speed). Was offered to buy it for like 150$. It's durable, it's powerful, it's convenient, it's simple to use. But I was not satisfied. If it blowed faster, then it would beat EQ's bags all the way (Well, the vapor in cano bags and EQ bags is same, but cano will blow it more conveniently, without fear of glass breaking, has valves etc). I am not that much of a bag fan, so if I want bag, i will take the little hassle and blow it with my EQ. Don't need another big vape to do that. I just want to say - don't expect better bags, if you want to buy an EQ, expect the versatility. Many love the EQ for the whip.

If you like the Solo (it's glass and powerful, so maybe for the taste and clouds?) and are not satisfied with volcano vapors... I think you should try to sell the cano and get in line for the VapeXhale Cloud.

I agree with your plan to sell the Cano and buy a Q. The Q gets hotter for concentrates, blows just as good a bag although only at 50% of the speed, and can give you dense, lung busting hits using the elbow pack method for dry whip hits or through water. It's a better device by most measures I apply, and that's before I even consider the price difference. I've owned two Volcano Classics, one HA and the Q, and solidly prefer the Q at this point.

Keep your volcano liquid pads, they'll come in handy.

I suppose it really depends how much you value the use of bags, personally I'm not a huge fan and I chose a DBV over an EQ because I heard that its a better direct draw vape (although the EQ is supposedly still excellent). I'd definitely recommend either an EQ or DBV if you are liking the solo as those vapes can provide just as big (if not bigger) clouds with very little restricted draw (the main thing which prevents me using my solo all that often). If you are vaping through glass I'd say either an extreme Q or a DaBuddha is significantly more valuable than a volcano.

Meh.. I've tried the Volcano and I always call it a one trick pony. If you plan to have parties it's a great vape that you don't have to worry about someone breaking - just pass the bag. If not, it is not necessary to have one IMHO. I never even considered buying one and I have VAS bad... have bought many vapes lol. The Volcano is one that doesn't even tempt me.

Yea, the only time I brought it out was with friends or when first bought. I dont expect the EQ to have better or as good of bags but elbow, whip, and bag seem like good options to have especially because I'm easily bored.


And i think I'm gettin in line for the cloud anyways.

Sell the cano, clean your glass and get a cloud. If you want to have any hope of curing VAS, you need to bypass the middle steps and go for the best right off the bat.

^^^^This.

I bought the EQ because I knew it would be fun experimenting with bags and whips. It was a blast and I miss it but I always had this nag that I could find something that does bigger and better whip hits, so now I'm going to be trying a different vape.

Yes the EQ is capable of dense huge hits and decent bags. But there is a concern among some users here that the air pathway of the EQ may be unsafe. This is what pushed me to change, I finally got around to taking mine apart to clean it and found what others have mentioned, the only path for air is to run across the back of a circuit board. This may or may not be a real health hazard, but just knowing this turns me off. For as much as the EQ sells for and has been around, IMO it still has room for improvement.

Tweak: I'm not really concerned about air intake going through electronics as it's cool. What concerns me more are there wires going into heater. Their isolation seems to me just like classic plastic. Maybe it's not that, or it not heated there. That could concern me, because I stuffed screen in there to increase performance so maybe it could heat the ceramic even lower with these wires.

If I'm not mistaken, itd be awhile to get the cloud....

Middle ground desktop vape?

I wanted the eq, now the airpath is uncertain safety wise?

Arrrgghhh

i disagree with the safety concerns for the E. I am not concerned about where the cold air travels before it hits the heater. I am only interested in what happens to the air after it hits the heater. that is, unless it was travelling over some dog shit and was making it smell bad.

if you really want a heavy hitter in the meantime while waiting for the cloud, get a ssv or a dbv. they are similar and hit hard. the ssv has a harder hitting reputation, but is more $$. i used the ssv almost exclusively until I got my cloud, then i promptly traded the ssv away.

The SSV is whip only or am I wrong?
Id like versatility if possible, I wonder if im asking too much out of a vape....

Sounds like you want an EQ since you desire different ways to get baked with 1 vape. I had it, I liked it. Especially if you buy a LSV vapor tamer and put it ontop of the cyclone bowl. The hits become ridiculously massive. I also don't think there is a safety hazard in using it.

You may be correct, as long as it is indeed safe. The cloud looks awesome for that delivery but its a lot of $ and probably one hell of a wait

Yeah whip only. But as you state with bags, the vapor is not a satisfying, same with the EQ.

I wasn't so concerned either until I took a look. The air runs over the back of the circuit board, not a problem, but on the flip side of the circuit board is a couple capacitors. I've lost faith in caps as I've seen so many leak. Now I'm not saying that the EQs caps have the possibility to leak, I just don't trust them period, and the leaking gas would easily enter the air path.

And then there is as you mention a piece of plastic isolation that runs into the heated glass tube that separates the wires running to the heater. One user has reported that his plastic is melted and this is directly in the air path.

Like I said I loved my EQ, its just these little nagging concerns got the best of me so I moving on, .

I was/may be hours away from ordering one and not even waiting for the cano to sell. It will, the used ones always do even if i take a bit more loss.

The mflb thus far is fantastic minus battery life ( adapter will be purchased), and the solo is as well.
Thermovape is very restricted draw, not just cloud wise but entirely hard to hit.
The cano, well, is the reason for the thread.

I want a satisfying vape. I don't want to inhale chemicals, electric residue, plastic, and the other fears youve all recently instilled in me.

Help

Tweak...good points! I hadn't thought of that.

VisVap...if you're all about the journey, then get the EQ. If you just want to settle down with the best based on what others have gone through, get the Cloud.

The E was my first vape and I loved it. Started with bags. Once I got the hang of the whip, I stopped using the bags. A year later I got my SSV, and I stopped using my E. That thing hit like a champ and was thick hitting on demand! I used it for over a year straight before I got my Cloud, and then I stopped using it. On a side note, all along the way I was using log vapes...the PD, HI and Solo. So now I use my Solo for moving around and the Cloud at home. The journey's great and a lot of fun and I recommend it, and you can skip any step you want. But if you just want to skip to the end, go for it.

Good post sir.
I just want to get vaped. And breathe better than I would combusting the herb.......but in a satisfying manner.
I flat out would have to stretch to sell my volcano, use all that and still add another hundo for the cloud......and be on a waiting list correct, where it'll likely be a little while was my understanding?


The EQ, with the bag, whip, and fan for like 150 or so just sounds good.....

trade the cano in for an eq? I wouldn't do that myself... never saw the appeal of an EQ personally though. it's the jack of all trades master of none... a good vape and super versatile, but if you compare it's abilty agains any stand alone of the same time. there is a vape better than the eq. (imo) Volcano beats it for bags (again imo) and SSV beats it for whip... once again imo

haha gotta cover my ass I know we have some strong EQ supporters too.

Gotta disagree Weedemon, as you've anticipated. How does the Volcano beat it for bags? The presence of a valve system isn't that big of a woop in my book, and having a little patience for the bag fill is not a big deal. The ability to crank the temp another 50 degrees is more important to me, and the glass components are more attractive and harvest-friendly, not to mention the price difference.

Airpath purity fanaticism is the only thing that would motivate me away from the Q.

BTW, I think Gotvape's silly price match thing will take a 150 or 160 dollar offer and they're authorized afaik.

you sir are a FC MVP so i'm not gonna try to debate with you lol, but you pointed out 2 ways it also beats it beyond air path purity. the valve system, and the faster filling rate. I haven't really needed the urge to to any higher than 7 or 8 on my volcano. I prefer 5-7 really. for oil i use 9. but i have better ways to use my oil than the volcano anyways! (starts chanting, "Ti, Ti, Ti..." )

I make hot chocolate with my bags when they are good and dirty.

btw, the oracle beats the volcano by 12 vs 13liter/min? i think it is?

i feel like a nice car vs a 4x4(the more versatile of the 2) comparison of sorts would also be appropriate for a volcano vs eq comparison

I like the debates, and yea Gv is authorized i believe and i always match....
160 for solo, 70 for mflb, and itll be 154 for eq...

Hopefully ill sell or Exchange my tv as well, then ill be a happirr vaping dude..
If cano goes, and the used twice TV kit goes......im debating on an eq and a DB with $ left over.....and accessories

I have tried a Volcano and thought that the noise of the bag would get annoying fast. Have you considered adding the Supreme to your collection? Great for power cuts!

No, I havent connsidered the supreme. will google...

I'm planning my arsenal to be
MFLB, SOLO, DB, EQ

selling volcano, returning thermovape for DB, though i will check out supreme first

that should be a solid lineup that will meet most any need unitl the Cloud comes out...nice pics!
