Volcano

[SMODomite]

So glad you like yours...I love mine and have never regretted this purchase for a moment.

Re: AVB...I don't save it out of my conduction portables or even my Grasshopper. But I think Volcano AVB is well worth saving and taking a stab at making cannabutter or the like out of it. Just something to think about.

To me, the Volcano isn't the most exciting vape experience...its generally not the "ripper's choice" for smoking brain cells, but it does work absolutely consistently, effectively, pretty efficiently, and results are totally reproducible time and time again which is so important for medical patients.

Enjoy your new vape machine

I actually have always saved my AVB, even with my VaporBros/Pax/LSV and make a batch of brownies once I have 21 or so grams of AVB saved up so I will definitely be saving the volcano AVB in a separate jar and either make brownies or a tincture out of it once I have enough saved up.

And it does seem to be very consistent, happy to get to try it out more this weekend but going on the fact that I was taking a minimum of 4-5 dabs nightly after work along with either a vape pack from my LSV or a couple bong packs, to last night when between 3 people and one chamber load of about .4-.5 we were all ripped and I only took one dab total last night. The thing definitely is not disappointing one bit!

 

[SMODomite]

After getting to use it for a few days I am starting to figure out the sweet spot I like to fill my bags at. I am grinding very fine and packing .3-.4 per chamber load. I vape the first two bags at 6-6.5 then stir the pack, vape another two around 7 and stir and then another two around 7.5 or 8 if it is close to bed time. First two bags are super tasty, and they slowly get more toasty as you go on but I have noticed if I am doing a solo session, 1-2 bags and I am good for a couple hours.

The size bag I am using is the standard size they give you with the solid valve, probably a foot or foot and a half.

hey guys solid valve classic owner here...mine has been sitting in the case for the last year or so but still works...looks like volcano has some new toys so i got curious...

anyways, i came across the "reducer" for the easy valve and am wondering if there is anything like it for the solid valve? since i have a solid valve, what are all the pieces i would need in order to get to try the reducer?

thanks!

Nope...AFAIK reduced chamber is only for easy valve (or Plenty or...but not Volcano solid valve)

 

[blackstone]

Yeah I thought that the solid valve was so narrow that you wouldn't need reducer, that it could maybe be used in the same way I'm now using the reduced chamber.
It's a great, reasonably priced toy alright at only €11.90.
But if you wanted to swap from solid valve you can either buy "complete reduced filling chamber €59+ bag replacement set €48= €107" or
"Easy valve starter set €99+ filling chamber reducer €11.90= €110.90"
You might want liquid pads or dose capsules too!
If you can get an easy valve bag (new, or used) from a friend, and you have a roll of bag material you could save some money and make your own easy valve bags.


@TheMadDabber has posted in the Mighty thread about a vaporbrothers ceramic screen set that fits the mighty bowl perfect,
http://www.vaporbrothers.com/Screens-625-Ceramic-5Pcs-for-EZ-Change_ProductID_8014

Well, now that all the bowls are the same, I thought it might be worth posting here as it sounds like it might just be weighty enough to suit the Easy valve reduced.
I've tried a lightly weighted custom screen assembly and the airflow lifted it and made it dance!
As @Baron23 has noted, I also have trouble with the stock screen not sealing the reduced chamber, even when I tried to bend the big screen down, I'll try get it right next time.
I've had really excellent results using the liquid pad, but it might be nicer/easier if a proper sealing top part came with the chamber reducer.
Maybe I'll work it out soon, or I have one last mad thing I could try, a stainless M8 nut with a screen threaded into the center that was originally intended for my Mighty!

Although the innovative group here might find a good way to re-purpose other vape parts and accessories to eliminate the poor seal on the Volcano Reduced Chamber rig....I really, really do believe that this chamber configuration was made purely to use the Dosing Capsules which eliminates the loose top screen seal from being a problem. Just my never humble opinion.

 

[Vitolo]

I really, really do believe that this chamber configuration was made purely to use the Dosing Capsules

I agree.
I would change that a bit, personally and say:

I really, really do believe that this chamber configuration was made primarily to use the Dosing Capsules if user wishes optimal performance.

 

[Vapinmofo]

I agree.
I would change that a bit, personally and say:

The reduction chamber along with a small LIQUID pad (the one that fits the crafty works).
this allows for concentrate use.

go ahead vape a dab on your Volcano.

The flavor and efficiency comes through just fine. Just turn up the heat a bit.

Well, got to break my volcano in for the first time tonight, had a couple people over and got about 5 good bags and a ok one out of about .4 and all of us were probably good enough after the second bag...but its a new vape so clearly we kept going!

I just did two solo bags while watching some tv and am very nicely relaxed and getting ready for bed. Definitely a solid purchase.

Congratulations. the volcano rocks.

I noticed that you are using 400 mg of herbal material.

I would suggest that you try even LESS herbal material.
I use about 100-125 mg of herbal material I vaporize at 6.5 (DIAL VOLCANO)

This fills a standard bag, Maybe 2X.

For me the real advantage here is the SMOOTHNESS of the vapor.

When I Vaporize more than 200mg of herbs (doesn't much matter what kind)
I get a vapor which irritates my lungs.
Yes I get MORE bags.


As a mostly solitary user I have a good system based around the fact that one good (100 mg herb) bag is the perfect amount for flavor and effect.

I save the ABV.
enjoy your new tool.

I found the sweet spot for the upper screen to mate to the reduced chamber and I'm having fun!
It's like being able to push the boat out but in a miserly way!
I'm able to stuff this to the gills, and get very dense flavorful strong bags.
I would never have been able to even quarter fill the larger chamber and run it at regular temps just for a laugh, but I really could put a few mm into this one now and again.
I'm not able to tell which is more efficient overall, but I think the reduced chamber might result in some people getting denser vapor and/or using less material. Or could it be an optical illusion?!

Hey Everyone,
It's my first time posting here, but need some help.

I ordered a Volcano digital with solid valve from a reputable seller on eBay. It has been a little whole since I used one of these, but it feels a little more plasticy than I remembered.

Was the solid valve always housed in plastic? I could have sworn my friend had an all metal one which weighed more and prevented fill chamber from being knocked off the heating unit.

Also, the fill chamber insert seems very tight which I also don't recall being the case. When I push it into the fill chamber, the top screen is extremely tight against the metal bowl part of fill chamber.

Is this all standard and to be expected or does it sound like I got a knock off? The seller had over 10k positive feedback, so seems hard to believe they sell knock offs. Just doesn't really feel like a 600 unit.

Any advice or info that people can offer would be most appreciated.

Thanks!
Keith

Hello and welcome to FC!

All of this seems normal to me, the housing of the solid valve is a black plastic with a yellow o-ring, and the insert is tight because it's new, the screen need to be bend with use to move more freely.
But after time, you'll be saying that the insert is to loose with use (and the stickiness will help to keep it tight ah ah )

 

[KeithVonFraichen]

Thanks so much!

Results of the above reclaim:
Then the pile on the right:

I affectionately call this stuff "Volcano Shatter"~

and now after I let it cure for a few more days.....

Very manageable and the taste has improved a great deal.
Typical Volcano reclaim essence.... exotic and indescribable.

I'd call that "lava".

sorry i totally forgot that i posted here.

if i wanted to try this reducer for cheap, would you think that all i need is this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Easy-Valve-...161935?hash=item33baca72cf:g:RUAAAOSwwpdW6X2x

plus the little orange mouthpiece and some turkey bags?

and the reducer of course? would that be the cheapest way to try it or is there something im missing...

and i heard someone say that the solid valve is already the diameter of the reducer? the solid valve seems like a pretty huge bowl to me (you could always use the tamp piece to reduce the height of the bowl, but the width is still there...)

just fyi, my optimal load is like 25mg (a solo stem)...will this reducer come down to anything near that?

i have owned my volcano for so long but i honestly still dont have the hang of it...its the 1 vape i cant find my perfect technique to...btw, mine is classic, not digital...

Nope...if you have a solid valve and want to use the dosing capsules/reduced chamber, you will need a complete new chamber with reduced chamber inserts. This:

http://www.storz-bickel.com/shop_us/en/easy-valve-filling-chamber-reduced.html

If you already had an easy valve chamber, you can get a conversion kit. But with solid valve, you will need the whole new chamber plus compatible bags.

Please note, it is my experience that the reduced chamber (RC) really only works well if coupled with a dosing capsule (DC). Otherwise, I didn't find the reduced chamber useful nor did it seal well enough to keep herb where it belonged and effectively extract. To me, the RC was made specifically as a carrier for the DC and if you don't want the DCs, then I advise you go in another direction.

This is completely dependent on grind and quality/moistness of your product, but the max DC load is about .1 so 1/2 is .05. I think .025 might be a bit slim but perhaps it will work.

I used roughly 0.25g as far as I can remember with temp. setting 6.5 to 7... but I filled with that amount 4 to 5 bags so 0.05g per bag...

I also have had bad experience with the RC, but never have used the DC. I was looking for more vapor density. Is the vapor density thicker than it would be without the RC and DC? One last question... I've had my Volcano for years, and I've never been satisfied with vapor density from it, but I also never once used the pad to hold small amounts of herb in place... Do you guys notice a large increase in vapor density when using the pad? I was about to retire the Volcano and go strictly EVO, PLENTY, and Arizer Solo (for its extremely high extraction of above 80% vs Volcano around 58% from an extensive test performed this year), but if there is any way to make it consistently extract more I will give her another shot before giving up on it.

No, I don't think you should look at RC and DC as a solution to thicker vapor from the Volcano. They need to be looked at from the view of getting good Volcano vapor from a small load, but I note again that for the RC it is my opinion that you need the DC.

I have used pads in my Volcano when I first bought it and did not find them particularly useful for small load dry herb. Just my opinion.

How small of a load do you want to load? I can run a regular Easy Valve chamber with .15 and no problems.

As for vapor density....what temp are you running at. If I want thick vapor I will do a few things:

1. Grind very fine (like MFLB or New Vape fine grinder fine) and dried out (not falling to dust, but dried out for vaping)
2. Put the chamber on to pre-heat as the Volcano is coming up to temp
3. Run the fan for 3-4 seconds and then pop the bag on on the chamber
4. Run at 410 F

Just my thoughts on it. You probably already to these things.

Yes, a bag vape will give more diluted vapor than a direct pull type. But for many people on many occasions this is just fine as its smooth and delightful and what's the rush?

Cheers

I always run at 446 degrees to try to get as many ingredients to extract at once rather than climbing temperatures on the Volcano, because I need the synergistic effects given by adding as many ingredients at once, as I have health problems that require the heaviest sedative effects I can get from vapor for me to not tremor, slow my heart rate, be able to eat etc.. Basically, high heat and a thorough vape keeps a cascading effect of symptoms low so I dont dehydrate, have to go to the ER etc. Low heat leaves me anxious, and I often have to combust.
Reducer continued: I heat soak my unit, and prime it a few seconds before putting a bag on, also. With the DC I played with last night, there was only 1/2 bag of vapor before it stopped putting out anything thick. I ran several more bags and inside the capsule was mostly green afterward.

As far as asking "why rush" when vaping as your thought of why I want a deeper, more thorough extraction...I'm not sure where that conclusion would come from. However, there are emergency situations where I do have to rush to get my body back under control as fast as possible. I imagine extraction is the most important point of vaporization for patients, like myself. There are of course many advantages to better vapor density and extraction, yet I cannot think of many positive reasons to actually desire low vapor density. As far as the grind, it is a very fine grind and I was surprised to see particles coming out of the holes in the capsule. I use a Titanium Spcae Case. I want that grater, and was wondering if a manual coffee grinder would help a vaper better than basic grinding. It is interesting that so many understand how finely herbs must be ground to vape, but then do not consider that the capsules block 50% of the surface coverge area, and the only option the Volcano has is to try to convect the herb thru the small spaces, and it the Volcano doesnt work off of conduction. So, I was really surprised that anyone would choose the DCs unless they perhaps had severe tremors, spill when trying to refill, and need to simply be able to toss in a capsule for that reason. If the capsules could be locked in like a piston within a block, air would be forced thru the holes of the capsules instead of any going around them.

As far as how much I put in the capsule, I put in .1 so to give it some breathing room, being aware that the capsule is going to restrict convection function from perfectly surrounding all material within it, and I wanted to give it a fighting chance, because once placed in a capsule, we have just restricted the device's only option being to attempt to get thru those tiny holes. I actually walked back to my room just now and brought the reducer and showed a friend. Then I dropped the capsule in and asked "Logically, how on earth would blocking all of this herb by using this capsule make it possible to better surround the herb and more evenly vaporize than simply dropping 0.1 in and allowing thorough convection?". We all know that we need the fine grind, and that is to increase the surface area, and so I'm not sure why we would block 50% of the air flow with a capsule. I'm not sure why anyone would feel that would result in a 'better" extraction to cover the herbs up.
Anyhow, just my 2 cents. I've wanted it to work so bad, but just haven't had any luck :/

I mentioned time...as in "why the rush" because if you fully extract from X amount of herb then its the same if its in one bag sucked down or in multiple bags sucked down. YMMV but to me this is an objective fact.

As for AVB with the RC/DC, I actually do find it looks just like my regular chamber AVB. While the DC does not offer as high a percentage of open space in the holes for air flow as the screen in the regular chamber, it is also a more compact and vertical load more in line with the air flow direction so I really don't personally see this as a problem for me.

Now, don't get me wrong. I actually only think the RC/DC is particularly useful for exactly what you mentioned. People whose handicap/infirmity is such that they either have to load a number of days worth of dose at once or, even more likely, have a care giver do so for them. I do NOT see it as a functional improvement but rather as a human access or accommodation improvement.

I find, again personally, that rather small loads in the regular chamber seem to work just fine. To me, small is about .15.

The only real useful purpose I have found for RC/DC is when making herb/shatter sandwiches. The DC keeps any gunk well contained.

Best of luck to you.

Cheers

Hi; with the new release of the storz-bickel capsules I wondered if vape shops and vape lounges alike that supply volcano vaporizers will begin to use it and perhaps supply the pre-packed capsules at a cost. A quick method of loading will likely be of demand. Perhaps someone out here should manufacture a loader suitable for business application. In addition perhaps a display tray w the capsules and or vending machine.. hmm.. you slide 4 or 5 euro in the machine and pops comes out a capsule.
