You can state your opinion on companies and you can criticize, but posts written to offend are not allowed.
Despite the asshole company that is Storz and Bickel, I've had my volcano for 3 years and I still haven't found a better vapor out there. I leave mine on pretty much half the day on weekends and almost all day on weekends for the most part, and it's still like the first day I got it.
I like how you can throw low quality herbs in there and still get _almost_ the same effect as throwing in high quality herbs, albeit with a slightly less flavorful taste.
I like how easy they are to maintain, I just changed my air filter after 3 years of use and it barely looked used. I had 2 more so I just threw this one away, but you could easily just wash it and let it dry and reuse.
I don't buy Volcano bags because I think it's a complete waste of $ (I use bigger turkey bags). I've been using the same mouthpiece for a couple years ago, I just clean it every time I change the bag, which I do every month or so.
Walking around the house with a bag is just awesome, sometime I even fill up a bag before work and vape in the car, then just put the bag in my center console when I'm done.
Seeing all these people vape through an ice/water bong has be extremely anxious to try this out. Anyone recommend a good ice bong for this?
Edit: NineDelta, can you tell me what attachment that is going from the volcano to the bong? Also what type of bong? Thanks

I just received my volcano wpa and let me say WOW, does it ever improve the experience. I tried it through my 1000ml ehle and it worked very well to say the least. And thanks to planetvape for being the only place outside of Germany I could find that stocks them.
Never knew those things existed! Thanks for the heads up.
I just decided to buy back my classic back from my friend I traded for a Vapexhale Cloud. I was using MFLB as my daily driver but decided to go back to the Volcano and might just keep the MFLB around when I'm out and about or when the power bugs out.
Also, Am wondering if anyone has ever tried using the easy valve with the whip and just vape through the whip instead of bags or through any water pipes?

Yep you can definitely do it, the hits can be a little airy compared to a vape designed only for whip use but it gets the job done for sure.
Have never used themselves myself. Can you see the vapor at all?
Just read about them online, never tested, or saw 'em in person.
Edit:
Just wondering, if I bought a digital shell along with the digital readout. Would I be capable of DIYing from classic into the digital or its not possible at all?
No, you can't see the vapor at all, which is the primary downside. They're black, or at least the one I found is that they sell it at vaporstore. On the plus side, you don't have to buy bags again, and they don't really make much very much noise. Not something I'd say everyone would want- not being able to see the vapor, or customize bag length are minuses- but if you're going to use bags over the long term, I think a bag you don't have to get rid of is a fairly decent mod. You need to use it with solid valve, btw.
Admittedly, the volcano without a balloon to a glass pipe posted above seems much nicer. Wish I had that!

I traded the Volcano away for a Vapexhale Cloud. Sold Vapexhale Cloud after a month daily use. Stuck with the MFLB ever since. Have used micro G pens, Vapor Brothers, and combusted sometimes with friend's glasses, pipes and the occasional papers with friends.
Bought the same classic back at a price I couldn't refuse and that came with solid valve.
Surprised me when I walked in for lunch from work. Disassembled it, dusted it off good. has a 10/31/2006 written inside of the shell. Dents on the shell, the shell seems almost matte. 7 years old?
Soaked everything in Iso, got off work early. Told my best bud I got the volcano back, he showed up here in a hurry. Assembled everything.
Put a packed trench sized grinded up down the shiny valve. Figured I haven't gotten the chance to use a Volcano in months. I cranked up to 9 on the dial. First bag was completely white vapor. Passed the bag between my bud and I, good 5 hits off a bag. 2nd run, the vapor desnity reduced but it still filled up the bag. Finished the bag. I was asbolutely blasted. Haven't felt this medicated since I used the Volcano in the winter.
The vapor at 9 tasted pretty good, a bit close on the burnt popcorn taste. roasted taste if you would put it.
Right now, Im floating at at a 7. I was fortunate enough to get this classic back I don't think it's leaving me again. If I stop using it, it will probably just sit still in somewhere in my house. But right now am going to enjoy this until I have to go on my T-Break for job hunting.
It might be a bit old on the market but still one of the better ones out there. I am probably sticking with a classic and mflb combo for now.
I figure if I turn back ont he dial ont he classic to 6-7, throw down maybe just enough to cover the screen. Take up 1, 2 hits. Put it aside. Throw down some more fresh herbs down the valve with the AVB. vape it 6-7 then add more, turn up the dial on the Volcano. Keep adding herbs until the valve gets half full, go on full blast for 9. I think this is my most economicial way to vape by myself and not to use up too much herbs. Not much in the classic gets me very medicated compared to other devices.

I use my Volcano for medical purposes, and have had to send it in for warranty. Now, I received an email on monday from S&B oakland stating that my machine has been shipped and a tracking number was included. Now, I was frustrated when I saw that it was USPS, because I need my vape, and I sent it by fedex air, So, I really hope USPS is reliable. I maybe should have contacted oakland to arrange a quicker shipping method. Now, the reason for this post is that the shipping tracking has not been updated since tuesday, and all it says now is "international dispatch ready"(what does this mean?). So if anyone in Canada knows, how long (days) am I looking at until my volcano is back?
Thanks FC, always a pleasure

Hey sorry I can't help you out with an international shipping estimate as I have no experience there, however, I have experience using the USPS with national shipping. In quite a few of my experiences they were slow to update the tracking information. In my one experience with Fedex my tracking information was updated quicker than it was with my many times using USPS. Hope that helps at least a tiny bit.

Hi JG - I had a similar issue when I got my Plenty. It came from Oakland by UPS as well and was sent to Hong Kong. It took 4 or 5 days to leave California but once it did then it was actually quite fast. I also paid for the fastest Fedex delivery they had and was unahppy to see they used UPS. Are you in the US? Maybe give them a call? Good luck JG, waiting for packages can be a very frustrating experience.

Anyone else find it annoying that the control light keeps going on and off every minute or 2 coz the Volcano doesn't hold its heat? Is mine defective or is this normal? Have to wait for it to go on and off before I blow a bag coz I don't want the control light to go off while I'm in the middle of blowing a bag coz that means its getting lower temperature air mixed in

Does it really make that much difference? Once its heated up the once i just ignore the orange light.

Mine does this everytime i fill a bag, theirs no way of getting around it id like to also ask if this is normal i don't think it seems to be cutting the vapor down but everytime i fill a bag near the end the light comes on even if i wait for it to turn off then start, and at 384 my AVB is mostly green/yellow? im finding in this device my AVB never fully browns ive just been throwing the last of it in my SSV and finishing it off.

yea i do ive gotten it up to 7.5 with really no avail to getting it any more brown, and the 4 and 5th bags really have little to no vapor but ill pop open the valve and their is still slight greens, maybe its my material? it won't really hit all the green, my DV is the only vape ive tried that really browns my avb is that because it rests in the sitting chamber? even my SSV dont get my avb very brown at all lol

It sounds like the bowl is not getting proper airflow. How much herb do you use, and how fine is your gind of the herb?.

all my other vapes turns it brown at around 385f. i dont see the point in in turning it up to 400f+ just to get brown avb that makes no sense. and it does not matter how much i load, ive done it with all different sized loads. it always never really gets it nice and brown ever, it leaves it yellow all the way up till 7.5, and after 3 bags of vapor all the other bags are really lackluster even with visible greens in the bowl?
if it is restricted airflow i wouldnt know from what but.
