Anyone know who offers the best deal on a new Volcano? I've heard the pricing is mandated by S&B, but I know occasionally a deal pops up here or there...

Thanks, another member of FC actually offered me a new one for a very reasonable price and I jumped at it. I have until Monday afternoon to read this entire thread and prepare!

So it has now been all of three days since the Repaired Volcano arrived.

The Volcano is more efficient than my crafty. Which I thought was pretty darn efficient.
The volcano is different in that When medicating The vapor from a balloon Just works better and lasts longer and does it with less cannabis.
I think the temps on the Volcano must be higher than the Crafty. The effects are stronger. One of these days I will measure temp. I can't imagine that it has not been done before.

I have to say, I find that The Crafty ain't that efficient in terms of vaping, i.e. extracting the most out of the herb as the Volcano! By that I mean, the maximum temp for the Crafty is 210C, (same goes for the Mighty) But the Volcano (Digit) goes up to 230C (sorry I use Centigrade not Fahrenheit)!
So I find that I can extract a *Jon Snow (210C) and also a 230C bag out of the herb (an extra two bags) after its been thru the Crafty/Mighty!

So based on my own experience, I'd say that the Volcano is definitely way more efficient. The Volcano is a titan, the 'Maybach' of Vaporizers!!:rockon:

*the term 'Jon Snow' relates to the C4 'News' presenter who got completely 'fucked up' live on TV whilst using a Volcano Digital set at 210! The man had a psychotic episode and is now an avowed enemy of Skunk!:lol: Which he claims is nothing like what he used in the day :mental:!!

Not saying:2c:, just saying:), without saying;)!

does anyone who owns the Classic leave it on a lot. I have read the whole thread and I saw it mentioned only a few times I want some confirmation :) I feel like it's safe to leave on as I notice all the lounges in Amsterdam use the Classic and they have theirs on for hours at a time!

Its probably safe to leave it on all of the time but its not economical. Its a waste of energy and Im sure that the heating element has a limited lifespan so leaving it on all the time is wasteful and likely reduces the usable life of the Volcano.

Not wanting to offend, but last time I was in the DAM,( Sept 2015) I was up at Barney's amongst other places, and they were using the Volcano Digital!!

I have a Volcano Digital, and apart from the temperature accuracy, I like the fact that after so many minutes (say half hour) it shuts off i.e. steadily starts to decrease in temperature, which is not a bad thing, but then again sometimes it can be, I guess it just depends on perspective! I think the Arizer EQ has the right idea in terms of the length of time before temperature shut off!!

Not saying:2c:, just saying:), without saying;),

Peace :leaf:


Current Vapes: Volcano Digital, Vapexhale EVO, Arizer EQ, Plenty, Mighty, *Crafty,
Retired Vapes: Bakerlite, Box Vape, and Isotonic vape-pen.
*I'm thinking the Crafty is going to be retired in terms of in-house vaping, I'm just gonna use it on the go!!

Okay I believe it! I definitely have seen some lounges with Classics that remain on all day. I understand that it might lower the "shelf life" of the Volcano.. I really have no reason to leave it on but sometimes I forget this is why I am asking! Thank you FC for the answers!

Trypsy, would you recommend I sell my Classic and get a Digital? I have an Aromed and I do like the accuracy of the temperature... maybe when I amass some more money after I have gotten the XhaleEvo too, I'll sell my Classic to my one of my closest friends then get a Digital!

@TboneToker
In answer to your question, If you can afford the Volcano Digital, by all means get one.:2c:

I like the fact that the temp is not left on all day, it goes on standby mode which is makes for less wear and tear, although some will argue that with more electrics there's more to go wrong when compared to the classic. Another thing to consider is the Digital has a wider temperature range in that it can go much lower than the classic, which is useful for other herbs with lower temperature thresholds.

Please note that I am not knocking the classic as it is extremely effective, but I opted to go with the Digital as I feel its a superior piece of kit, I just love the way you can get precise temperatures every time:rockon:

By the way, I have an EVO and its alright (Nay, its good, very good, at what it does) but time and time again (in-spite of the crinkly balloons) I find myself reaching for the Volcano, which tells me something;)!!

I don't have an AroMed4.0, but I was looking at it due to the halogen feature and also the water filter, etc, are they any good? By that I mean; I already have the Volcano Digital, EVO, PLENTY, and Arizer EQ, etc! Do I really need one these as well? I guess the question I'm asking is what would this bring to the show?

Your comments would be appreciated:nod:!

Since the Volcano arrived My crafty has not been used except when out of the house. When I do use the Crafty as good as it is I really miss the vapor I have been getting from the Volcano. Always get 2 flavorful bags sometimes 3, but I find the third often to be harsher than I like.
No doubt to me that the effect of a given herb's vapor from the Volcano has a stronger effect than the same herbs vapor from a Crafty. the flavor is better for longer than the crafty. the crafty gets me 3,4,5 good tasty hits. At that point the best flavor is gone. The volcano seems to dilute the great flavor a little but makes it last across a couple bags.

I need to use less, and I need to fill the balloons less. I have a tendency to suck all the vapor out of a balloon as quick as I can. Never leaving any behind. more than a few minutes in the bag and Vapor gets harsh.

Somehow I will find a way. The Volcano really is a PARTY machine. It will fill balloon after balloon.

I Love the volcano but I do not need to use that much Vapor.

The Crafty holds a little, the Volcano can hold MUCH more but works fine on LESS.
The thing is that either way it is still like sitting down and smoking a whole joint to my head solo. I don't need to to that.
I need something much smaller that produces amazing taste and vapor but with less herbs.

What Vaporizer is the one I am looking for?
I don't know.

Volcano is amazing but too much for a solo user IMHO. Hey I am sure there are many out there who think that 2 bags is a perfect wake and bake!!! I just can't function that way. My Herb is just TOO GOOD I guess.

My Herb is just TOO GOOD I guess.
Time is the test.
Many are good with a unit like the Solo for 4-5 years before they crave more meds in their doses.
Volcano users often take five years or even more, to go from a light bag, to 2-3 heavy bags a day.

Mighty!! For sure!
But I agree with the comment re the Crafty and the vapor going after a few hits! I find the pre-sets just leave you stuck, (esp when you ain't got a smart phone) But you could always put the Crafty ABV in the Volcano at 210C -230C (whatever suits) and get something.
That's what the Mighty has over the Crafty, it might be bigger, but it has the ability to adjust the temp (up to a point) to get more out of the bowl, notwithstanding the battery life!!

Not saying (Much) Just saying (Something) Without saying (Fuck all)!!

So after being away from my Volcano for a few years now we are finally reunited , a classic has come back into my life with half a solid valve missing so I ordered a easy valve setup to try as I been re-reading through the thread and I see most seem to like the easy a bit better, I figured I'd give it a try this time around. Very happy to own my Evo for mating to my glass pieces and now the ultimate bag blower again the Cano. I feel I have the best of both worlds now and should be set for a long time with desktop's until something new and crazy comes out and the vas kicks in.

haha yeah I finally did , very happy although I did not get everything with it , no biggie , I got easy valve coming soon. I have missed it so much.
I have been curious about the easy valve. My classic is good and all, but that's the vaporist in me wanting to explore all options.

Edit: @Justpassedu yes, I meant Solid Valve. Lol

You mean you have the Solid Valve . I used the Solid Valve for years , never had a problem and loved the fact I could use any size bag I'd like. I would buy bags made for chicken and turkeys at the supermarket and they worked really well. Some say they don't like the solid valve as it leaks and can be a pain to clean as it gets dirty quicker and also is held on by gravity where as the Easy clips on to the actual heating part of the vape. I liked my solid and somewhat disagree about most of the statements I read about them but figured id try the easy for the fact it doesn't need cleaning as much and the kit comes with I believe 4 bags and mp's so I can blow multiple bags at a time and pass them around for a party session. As for Classic vs Digital Cano's , I was always happy with the classic and even if storz & bickel had offered me a free upgrade from a classic to a digital I wouldn't take it. I like the fact that it is simple and there is nothing extra that can fail in he future. Not to say a digital is bad at all , just less to go wrong .

Unlike you 'and a lot of others' I opted to pay the extra and get the digital and given that S & B have a three year warranty on both - what's to lose? I can't say anything about the classic per se, as I ain't ever owned one or even used one! However, the Volcano Digital is simply Great at what it does!!:rockon:
Yeah I got the Cloud EVO and the Plenty, etc! But I find that the Volcano Digital is the one I use the most and it works, the thing I love the most, is the precise temperature control! By the way, (as for reliability and durability), I even dropped that fucker the other day and it's still going thru like the day I purchased it!

I could go on and on -but I won't!

I've found I'm using my Volcano more. I don't know if I'm going through more herbs, but I love the punch that first bag packs when you fill the bowl half way. I think I've figured out that more than half way is when I start to notice it getting too harsh.

Nothing to loose , I just happened to own a classic previously for almost 7yrs and never had a problem at all so that was proving grounds to me that it is a tough unit. Now I know the digital is basically the same machine and they both have there strong points and weak points and I am not knocking the digital but for me personally having a lcd screen is just a extra component that can potentially break on me. Vapexhale cloud Evo I use almost every day , I have went through so many vapes to find what suits my needs and I would never give up my Evo , I find the Cano and Evo compliment each other greatly , for me it is the best of both worlds , the ultimate vape to mate to my glass or a whip and the champion of blowing bags. I had a Arizer extreme q for a few years and it suited my needs for a bit as it did both but I find these two vapes do both allot better .
