Tested my buddy's who ordered with me (nov 2013), serials #0008xx.
Received them right after the new parts shipment.
They ran identical, hot back end and about 2 chambers per charge.
He isn't present on-line and is a new vape user, but he found it to hit hard, and had no overheating problems...
Thanks for everyone's input.
I will see about getting a replacement. Been getting the blue/red flashing and the fast red flashing.
Going to test my buddies, who also got one.
Like stated before, it hits hard, very stoney with a surprisingly small amount of material.
Got mine yesterday and ran it pretty good today.
It hits hard, but hot even at setting 2. I find the silicone mouthpiece a must.
The battery life is pretty disappointing, but swap-able so tolerable. I'm getting 2 chambers max at temp 2.
Definitely going to need an external charger and several...
Did anyone have luck upgrading to
They were unresponsive when i asked about this.
Has anyone had luck upgrading to a pax2 when they sent theirs in on warranty?
Good thinking IMO.
So here's a vid of the insides of the volcano.
Seems easy enough. Might as well give it a little check-up.
More interestingly, here's a well done vid of the different stages the trichomes go through during each draw from different vapes:
I would be very curious to see...
The Crafty wasn't cutting it and moved up to the Might. This is what I expected for S&B, amazing in all regards.
My only tiny complaint, it doesn't stand up; it would be a little easier to pack it if it did.
Any good DIY stands out there?
I'm tempted to try this. Anyone got a good link for instructions? Not finding any and not sure what to look for. Everything else is clean.
Will snap a pic if I open it. Thanks everyone!
There way definitely a lingering, end of the bowl high on it. But too much of a hassle IMO.
Well I don't think I'll waste the time/money for the service, sounds like my unit is working fine.
The Crafty has ruined the Volcano for me! (posts craigslist ad)
Don't think I'm going to miss it...
Thanks, i was thinking this too. But an almost 150F. Drop seems like a lot?
This was actually my next test and both the crafty and pax pulled several more hits. But not vice versa, obviously.
Are others getting dark ABV from their volcano like the crafty?
Have been questioning the temperature accuracy of my cano ever since getting the crafty.
The ABV on my old classic (6-7 year) doesn't get dark at all, even at 9. Not even close to the craft at 180F.
Out of curiosity I placed a candy thermometer at the top of the easy valve filling chamber; ran...
This also happened to my first pax. Very alarming when it doesn't stop heating up, overheats and begins flashing orange, which i assume is the overheat auto shutoff. I'm about 99% sure that the cause was a little iso got onto the electronics. This accidentally happened when I was trying to get...
Sorry Joe, don't have a pic at the moment, could get one tonight.
The LED in my replacement looks like the Pax from the ads, as opposed to pakalolos from a few pages ago.
Try putting a few drops of iso around the edge of the mouthpiece, swirl it around a little and click it a few times.
This was the only way I could get mine unstuck. Only a few drops though.
A custom cleaning piece that would clean the outside of the airpath, spring and metal sliding ring...
