This case is perfect. I'm really loving all the extra pockets and the form-fitting foam.

I have the same one-- everything fits perfect, easy to carry and super discreet.
Ok people first off I want to say I LOVE my Volcano Hybrid, and I am glad I went for the hybrid instead of the Classic (by the end of my post you will all know why). I LOVE the bag system, the flavor, the ritual, the zero draw resistance, the smoothness (idk how some people say the bag makes them cough). I also feel secure using it, the fact that it is a medical device and the materials they use and all of that. I am afraid of using other devices like the Tinymight for example, everyone says its great and they prefer it over a device like the Volcano, but if you look at the heater of a TM2 it seems like one of those cigarette lighters they used to put in cars, and I just do not feel safe inhaling that. Same thing with other portables, like a roffu or a lobo, I don't know what is in there so I don't use them. So, I only have 4 vapes: my beloved Volcano Hybrid, a mighty OG, a collection of Dynavaps (I trust them because it is just a piece of high quality metal I heat from the outside) and a ball vape (another piece of high quality metal I heat from the outside). I have two desktops and two portables, and that is enough for me.
Now let's get to the meat and potatoes of my post. I think most of us here find that the Volcano is great, but there is one main problem with it; it seems to be a WEED EATER!! Well I just found a solution!! I actually found it a while ago but I never posted anything here until now. I was a constant lurker, but never opened an account until now, because I feel I must share this knowledge.
The thing is that the Volcano Hybrid CAN BE A MICRODOSER!! How?? with the right dosing capsules. I stumbled upon some titanium dosing capsules that have a removable bottom. I found them on ED's TNT website, he no longer has them, they have been out of stock for about a year now. They used to be in the Mighty accessory section. I have 6 myself, but I have wanted him to restock them and he has never done it in spite of my emails.
With these dosing capsules, I am able to use the SAME AMOUNT I USE IN A DYNAVAP to get one satisfying bag (regular size) and after that I dump the ABV so I am always using a fresh load for every bag. I see people here, filling up the chamber reducer, and filling a bag at one temp and then using the same load for another bag at a higher temp, but the flavor is all gone by the second bag. With these dosing capsules, you are always using fresh weed for every individual bag.
Given that the dosing capsules have a solid build, and given that they are titanium they provide more conduction, and better flavor when compared to the aluminum dosing capsules that S&B makes.
The way I use them is that I load a very small amount of herb (same amount I could fit in one load of a normal dynavap) in the dosing capsule, and given that the bottom part is removable and adjustable I make a tight sandwich (not too tight, so you don't strain the fan) so the herb ends up forming into a small puck on the top part of the dosing capsule with no loose space anywhere in the dosing capsule. And presto, the Volcano Hybrid is now a microdoser. I don't even have to go up on the temps. I start at 390 and blow half of the whole bag (again normal size bag) and then I go to 400 to start the other half part of the bag, and just end the very last part at 410. In the end it is 1/2 the bag at 390, 1/4 at 400 and 1/4 at 410 (and sometimes I don't even go to 410). So I get no harshness and full flavor and efficiency.
I will try to post some pics of the dosing capsules. But I think we all need someone to produce these dosing capsules because they are a game changer for real!! ED's TNT seems that he will never stock them again, and there was a website in Australia that had them but I can't find them anymore. In order for you guys to have a pic of the dosing capsules I had to make a post on reddit. Sorry technology is not my thing.

Nice post and I feel the exact same way comparing S&B product and artisanal vapes. I have a Digit but I feel that capsules are not required to microdose. I just put a pinch of herb (20/30mg) and fill my XL bag 20/30%.
Sold my Hybrid few years back. I only had it for 6 months. Then I got caught up in the ball vape hype, and believed how many people were calling the hybrid obsolete.
Now a few years on I miss it. It's a very unique experience. I also recall being incredibly high using the bags. I think the ball vape vs Volcano thing is overblown.
I now wish I had a Hybrid next to my ball vape. Very different exeriences, and each potent but in different ways.

I did the opposite
sold all my artisan ball vapes and went back to my classic with bags. Man, somehow I prefer my old volcano like crazy. Thinking to grab new hybrid with whip too lolSomething about volcano, brings lots of good memories too and potent effects haha
Off-topic but I'm curious which ball vapes you would call artisan. I had some guesses typed out but I thought I would just ask instead of speculating.
Hey man, long time )), I was referring to my CH models including Pro, OWW TKO, Old head freight train.

I’m extremely interested in a tutorial for this

Hey, so maybe a strange idea, but I want to build a face mask adapter for my Volcano Hybrid.
You know those cheap gas mask bongs, where you fill your whole face with smoke? I'm imagining something like that. I'd probably use the fan to blow air into the mask instead of trying to suck through a tube or something. For safety, I'd want the mask to have side vents for additional air intake, so it would have to receive vapor through the Volcano's fan.
So far, I've just been doing preliminary research. The toughest thing seems to be the different hose sizes that masks use. An oxygen mask (like at a hospital) can have side vents, but it looks uncool and the tube diameter is a bit small. Proper gas masks have a wider diameter tube, so I guess I could find some kind of empty filter canister and drill holes for the Volcano tube to feed through. I could also punch a spare hole for fresh air. Alternatively, some gas masks have a side tube to let the wearer drink liquids without removing the mask, so maybe I could leverage that.
Just wondering if anyone else has tried something like this? I always thought that those bong masks were a sign that you're a dumb stoner, but I've got my shit together and I don't care as much what people think. Time to embrace my inner Bane.

Same fun without the effort of building a face mask.

Just got my Volcano Hybrid a couple weeks ago and I’m loving it. Mostly using the whip for the first 3 pulls then filling up a bag.
Waiting for my order to get here from S&B. I got 40 dosing caps and the chamber reducer for the caps. I mostly will be using this solo.
About 2 months ago I bought an Extreme Q and just couldn’t deal with how finicky and how cheaply made it felt to me. It really didn’t do a great job but I also didn’t have the patience to fuck with it.
I’m glad I got the hybrid though. It’s sitting right next to me on my bedside table. Once I get the chamber reducer I’ll be set for awhile.
I have a crafty+ too. I’ll be able to use that when I’m away from home.

The chamber reducer is a must. I recently got one and I am so very happy with it. It is truly amazing. The Volcano is just superb.

Yeah, just got it in the mail a few days ago. It took me a few times to dial in the amount to use in the capsule. Also, it takes just a tad longer for everything to heat up to the correct temp but other than that it’s great.
I get one good bag out of one loosely packed capsule. How much do you get out of one cap?

I do not have a capsule....the cap that I have is just like the larger one with a reduced section with a hole where the herb goes. Just like the bigger one. When I fill that chamber I get three bags out of it at 6 temp.

When you pack are you actually tamping down tight or pretty much just laying it in there with kinda just a light touch? Jw, trying to get this dialed in.

I put in herb to the brim...pat down lightly and fill lightly. No second pat down. I do not stir in between bag loads...that will give me three good large bags...all good. First two more dense. Third one is still awesome. Herb is still good but, if its too toasted I just change it...but, on the Volcano herb seems to last a LONG TIME...I have never seen anything like that. I believe also, it is the safest thing to vape out of hands down. Amazing and always has been. I love it.
