Volcano

[blackstone]

Decided to fire up the "Cano tonight!
0,1g load with the oil pad and temp at 6.5.
One nice bag that was super tasty!
Another one at 7 and the last one at 8 had me coughing a bit.

Tried a whole bag at 8 and that was crazy! Milky white bag and the taste was not too bad but not what it is at 6.5! But the effects are so much stronger!
Think these bags will have to go through my WT first!

That's very comforting to hear.
I think one of these will really suit me (besides having to hide it from my sister's kids when they visit!)
Hate to annoy you with questions but is that with the solid valve or easy valve, or are they both very similar with respect to doing well with small loads?

Also it's interesting to hear you are adjusting temperatures.
While I have the chance to afford the Digit, and the auto-off might suit me,
I think the dial knob of the Classic might lend itself better to adjusting temps instead of the clicky push buttons of the Digit? Especially with my feeble hands and joints!

My 80 y.o. fingers have no difficulty with the temperature push-buttons on my digital Volcano which I've had since 2010. The temperature buttons are very slightly softer than the On/Off and Fan switches, and these are easy to press.

I didn't realize that the Classic doesn't have Auto-Off. This feature is extremely important to me ...n I tend to get forgetful when I vape.

I highly recommend the digital if you can afford it; easy to set and accurate resetability.

Thank you, that's nice to know! I'm getting excited at the thought of it! The only thing stopping me going for the digital was in case my nephew bursts in and thinks the fair is in town, but I'll work something out,
I'll turn it around or make a cover for the lights/numbers!
That display of residual temperature on the digital is a nice safety thing too,
or it also may be a good guide as to how long you'd need to wait to vape again when it does shut off.

If people are still having trouble with the better prices on these, look at it this way,
The balloon starter kits retail at around 100 of my money, and you get a starter kit with the Volcano, so that means the Volcano is actually 100 less than I thought it was!!!

No problem at all!
I use the Easy Valve with mine, less parts to lose or clean!
Never used a Solid valve, so cannot answer to how it works.

You don't have to adjust temps but if you are only using a set temp then you are missing out of a lot of active compounds only available at higher temps.

The dial is very easy to turn and my hands have no issues with it.
My right hand is aching at the moment from my large SCS grinder though... I have some very hard, sticky herb that is difficult to grind and causing my arthritis to flare up in it... Even breaking it up into small bits and grinding is hard...

 

[whatitdew]

Howdy folks, I will purchasing my first volcano soon. I am buying a used digit unit with solid valve.
I would like to change this to easy valve.

My question is do I have to buy the whole easy valve starter kit or will I only need the easy valve replacement kit???

You'll need the whole kit because the Easy Valve bags don't work with the solid valve. It's a different system. You might just try out the Solid for a while. Some people actually prefer it.

Been using the Solid Valve since 2010 and have no desire to change. YMMV

Did you think about an electric grinder? I know it may not even work with stuff so sticky, and I dont know if the 1800rpm boasts of the cheap ones are such a good thing!
I was thinking of getting one myself for similar reasons. Had to switch to a larger acrylic grinder lately as I'm getting too old for the smaller ones

Anyway, thanks for the reply, that's great to know! So the bags are a doddle to handle AND it does well on the material as well. I think Easy's the one for me!
I almost have myself convinced to get the Digital, although I keep going backwards and forwards!
Those pre-Volcano-amount-spending doubts are creeping in now and again haha.
But I'm sure the only regret I might ever have about the Digit, is that 15-20 years time I might be pricing a new digital board and saying "If I had bought the Classic, I could have saved X amount on repairs, or fixed it myself" etc haha!
And then I hear people saying "Mighty is almost better than Volcano" now, oh the stress!!
I can always save for a Mighty and/or Crafty while I'm enjoying life with the Volcano, now that sounds nice!
Thanks to all in this thread for the advice so far!

I say to myself lately, I may not get to own the Ferrari of cars, but I'm sure as FUCK going to own the Ferrari of vaporizers

 

[ntaylor]

... And then I hear people saying "Mighty is almost better than Volcano" now, oh the stress!!

I keep both a digital Volcano and a Mighty (as well as a Launch Box) on my desk at all times. If I could keep only one, it would probably be the Mighty. I'm very glad that I don't have to make that choice.

Why? The Mighty warmup time is much less, and I can be impatient. It's nice to be able to carry it around the house and out in the yard. When used with a small bubbler I have very precise control vapor density. And my final reason is (it seems to me) that there is more buzz in a given amount of herb when vaped in the Mighty versus the Volcano.
But .... I've used this Volcano since 2010 and have grown rather attached to it!

You won't be disappointed with either choice. Quit stressing and make the jump!

 

[zor]

Whelp, it is time to bid adieu to my volcano. Friend got it in 2004 or so, gave it to me in 2009, and now it is time to give it away to another deserving friend. I love this thing, it worked so well, like a beast, without nary an issue. Before I clean it out I think I need one last vape sesh across the dial....

Easy valve is a bit larger than solid valve

Well I nearly blew my brain up last night so I went to sleep on it!
That thing you said about getting more buzz per nug etc, I can kind of see why as your away from the direct heat and action with the bags.
I kind of notice this with a DIY whip I'm using on my Solo too, it's maybe a mellower hit than with the bare stem, I do like it though!
But you know what, I have two portables already myself and I can always get a Mighty next time, or a Crafty when they iron out the teething problems.
So here I am, my Paypal updated and about to take the big plunge! Can't stop vaping I'm so excited
i doubt if it will get here by the weekend, maybe a little chance of it we'll see!
I'll have to keep the windows closed because the postman has thrown larger items in the window and it's a 7ft drop! eek!
Thanks @ntaylor and all the others for the advice and nudges in the right direction!

Easy valve is a bit larger than solid valve

Thanks, I thought that's the way it looked in the pictures alright, and the stats on the website say that it holds more overall too.
I've asked Storz and Bickel, told them I'm interested in using less material at times and they recommend the Easy Valve for my purposes.

(Although I did mention to them that I heard the easy valve can do well with loads as low as 0.1g (thanks @lazylathe !), so maybe they're just saying "ya ya get what your buddy has, w/e like!"

Perhaps it works a little better with small amounts and the liquid pad, or maybe they'll soon release a miser upgrade bowl for the Easy Valve like they're talking about in the Plenty thread.
The Easy Valve and Plenty bowls sure do look alike, but I've read here they're different sizes.

 

[whatitdew]

I ordered a t shirt and beach towel off Storz and Bickel website lol, havent even bought my Cano yet. I figured I might as well go all out lol. One guy is offering me a 3 month old digit with easy valve for $500 CAD with recept for warranty. You guys think that's a good deal?? Also somebody I know has offered a older digit with solid valve for 400 CAD. Thinking about the first one for the warranty even tho I know these units are normally rock solid.

Haha! I think I saw a hat on the site and thought about it, an operators hat while loading your Volcano up
Maybe you could go view that one for $500, point at one or two scratches, and say "A guy on FC told me new Digits can be got in Europe for under $600 CAD" then offer him 400 or 450 maybe?
Shame he's selling after only 3 months, some of that can be job related etc I guess

I just ordered the Digital Easy valve new and hope I last more than 3 months with it!
Looking at pics of those valves and pads side by side, I would prefer to be covering the screen size of the Solid valve!
But maybe it's the lack of a plunger, or the newer venturi type design that makes the Easy valve a little more efficient.
We'll see soon. It's good that you can always change the valve system, although a little pricey.

 

[The_Herbn_Legend]

What's a used digi volcano with the (forgive me for forgetting what the hell its called) "not easy valve" lol meaning the other one. Solid valve?

 

[Chezgreendream]

Does anyone else use sometype of cotton to fill up the space in the chamber when only using a small amount of herb?

I was using the liquid pad for a moment, but I felt that it was contributing to harsher vapor. To me the ultimate extraction when not using the liquid pad is when the herb chamber is more than halfway full, but in turn this causes me to use more herb. Usually I am good with one bag, the abv which mostly still looks good to vape, I throw it into a mason jar I have with olive oil for other uses. Considering I might have 2 or 3 bags left, I feel as if Im not extracting enough and I feel like I am wasting herb.

I have filled the chamber enough for the screen to be covered as some here have suggested, but I feel that it is not extracted well, because after I have filled up a balloon I open the chamber and I find the herb all piled up on one side.

I have also have thought about using enough herb to cover the screen and using the priors sessions abv to fill up the empty space, but after abv has been sitting around for a while, even if its kept in a mason jar, it nolonger tastes the same or has the same effect. So I am looking for an alternative to that.


Can someone give me the type or brand of cotton they use to fill up the empty space in the chamber? Or another method that I can use to fill up the space, that does not require using the liquid pad or more herb than I have to.

 

[hitmeman]

Organic cotton balls get them Walgreens CVS drug store

There are only two valves with Volcano, so if it is not Easy Valve it must be Classic Valve

Can someone give me the type or brand of cotton they use to fill up the empty space in the chamber?

I use McFinn's - Organic Cotton not for herbs but for hash, in order to keep clean classic valve :

I think you can use it for herbs

 

[NinjaMindTriks]

I just put a fine screen on top of my small loads in the solid valve. Works great and I can vape miniscule loads just fine, with no mess getting in the bag.

Well I was very lucky and the mailman came on Friday morning with my new Volcano Digit with Easy Valve!
I have been so heavily impressed and influenced with it, that I could barely log in here and string a few sentences together
I'm delighted with it, it really suits me.
As others have already said it's all very well thought out and the parts all work together simply.
It can be nice to enjoy this "separating" of the vaporization and consumption that they mention, and I can then relax with a cool bag with no heater, cords, whips or battery/oven weight involved in the consumption process!
The first thing that stood out to me when I got it was, the bowl, and the Easy valve parts are all way smaller than I thought from pictures and videos.
There was a good amount of normal new heater odour, a little more than I had expected, and I probably used it before the odour had completely gone which was stupid of me but I was too excited to wait!
Also could have been a little residue on both the filling chamber and the liquid pad, you should heat those for ages too IMO, yet I don't think it says so in the instructions?
I was really delighted to learn I can use this quite efficiently, and plentifully if the situation requires it!
I did go through a bit more than normal this weekend, but I've been waaay over-experimenting, and my current material is a bit below par, so the Volcano is nowhere near as hungry as I thought it was (but it can be if you like!)
One great use I've found for the large bowl and powerful extraction is, getting rid of trim! Never did even think of that till now but it's great.
Just run it through rough once or twice, grind and run it through again with liquid pad. Brilliant vapor, okay taste, okay effect but it all adds to it!
Very impressed with the taste and extraction.
Put the Volcano away from where you're sitting, and you'll know when you've had enough as it's too much effort to go get another bag!
Put the Volcano near where you sitting (I did this last night), and holy mackerel you'll be hardly able to open your eyes all next day, "Amsterdam feeling" and that's with below par material!

So I have three little questions for other owners,
Is it normal for the ABV to be so pale brown to green, yet you know it's really well extracted, eg. can get little to no more from it using another vape? Like, is that a sign how good the vape is?

The 5 seconds approx. to wait to see vapor before clipping the balloon, this is now in the instruction book, maybe it always was but I thought that was invented on here! So is it better to count about 3 seconds, or not do it at all? I wonder if there are any nice tastes escaping there or is it all that damp, semi-warm early crap that we didn't want anyway? I'm using LED torches to watch for vapor, any hints.

On the Easy Valve bowl, when using the liquid pad on top of ground herb like @lazylathe described, do you push it all the way down till it touches the herbs to stop them blowing about, or just rest it atop the tapered edge of the bowl so there's some room underneath? Just curious, in some tests I think I've had good-ish results when I've imagined the herbs must be blowing about in there. But I push it all the way down mostly.

After reading these last few posts, I've been playing about with some regular cotton, the liquid pad, and a custom screen this weekend,
and at the moment, I think the liquid pad works best, followed by the screen, while I think the cotton just makes the vapor a little too fine for me, although it might suit other people better (or maybe the organic stuff is better than what i used)
The screen is actually the easiest to position and remove cleanly, and my thinking the liquid pad was better than screen may be only related to me using a little more herb that time! I'll need to run more tests, phew
I made the screen using a stock easy valve screen and rolling the edges over a jewelers eye loupe (think something like a plastic bottle cap, but slightly smaller) these edges point upwards when the screen is in use, so the screen wont get stuck in that lower taper when you try to remove it (easy valve)

@Chezgreendream did you run your liquid pad with fan on at full temp.? I think this should be done for 5 minutes maybe more, or a good few times to remove manufacturing residue. I know you've had your unit a while but that stuff needs to be burned off at high temp IMO.

Decided to fire up the "Cano tonight!
0,1g load with the oil pad and temp at 6.5.
One nice bag that was super tasty!
Another one at 7 and the last one at 8 had me coughing a bit.

Think these bags will have to go through my WT first!

This is actually an extremely good way of using small amounts!
I actually lol'd at how effective this was after spending a good number of hours trying to figure things out myself!
If anybody with the Digit wants to try it, here are the temps that relate to it...

6.5 = 196C = 384F
7 = 202C = 396F
8 = 214c = 417F

I thought about playing around with the middle temp, to make it more in the middle of the others, or lowering all the temps? I might do some tweaking over time but I can imagine getting to a point where it gets too wispy, or won't do three bags total.
Thanks for the tip though!
I thing I did try was:
Tiny load around 0.1 or less, and follow the temp. guide above^^, and keep that ABV aside....
Then repeat the process from the start, but this time after the second run, at 7=202C=396F,
take out the load and grind it with the ABV from the first sesh, then proceed to third run.
It improves the last bags density!

Thanks again to everybody here for all the advice and suggestions,
and if a Mighty/Crafty gives more buzz than these things per portion, then god help me when I get one of those!
I had a great experience ordering from Namaste Vapes, good prices, very helpful and they saw to it that I got my item really quickly in time for the weekend for no extra charge. And a free credit card grinder to try out!

Thats what I love about the volcano, you can put velow par weed in there and get a buzz as if it were better quality.

When I first recieved my unit I did turn it on full temp and then the fan to burn off any manufacturing residuals, I dont remember if I did that for the liquid pad now that I think of it.

Exactly right! I just used a tiny amount of good material in that way and it amazes me how effective this thing is.
I said to myself earlier of my experiences last night, I've never been so high in my life!
I said that when I switched to vaporizing, and admittedly I say it every time I visit Amsterdam. But this Volcano represents a new level to me!!

Edit- And yes, I think when I put in my liquid pad I got the smell again, and I had a similar experience with a wire oil can insert from China before, could smell what type of oil they use at the factory!
I ran the liquid pad for about 3-5 minutes at 230C but it still smelled a little at the start, it's fine now


Anyone leave their unit on just one temp. always? And what is it?
I might search this thread for the word temperature.

 

[headdoctor]

It's fun to read of your excitement with your new toy, blackstone! I remember having that feeling some four years ago when I got mine. Mine has seen daily use and is still going strong.

As I'm sure you have read, I believe it's a standard technique to raise the temperature when you start to get reduced results from a packed bowl. I would be a little surprised if many people keep it at just one temperature (but what do I know?!). And, as I'm sure you also know, the lower temperatures tend to be lighter vapor.

I consider myself very lucky alright! They are a really nice treat for oneself. It will be great for me for Christmas as a present to me and it will deal with a lot of my joint and muscle pain, it's already helping greatly with that, and good for sleeping too if we turn the temperatures high!

I've done a little search of this thread for temperature, and @Poostuff he read that for medical use, setting 9 was supposed to be best balance between effects v exposure to risk etc or something to that effect?
Volcano

Also a guy @Vitolo , very prominent poster in this thread with great ideas, he said he uses 192C !
Volcano

Also when I watched Toronto vaporizers demo of Volcano on YT, they recommend to start at 190C and go up, or down from there depending on you or your materials reaction to 190 etc, I suppose this might also make sense every time you get a new strain?

The reason I ask is because with my other vapes I've always started low and worked my way up, but eventually settled on a level that would last from start to end.
Those were conduction vapes though, and this is probably pure convection so maybe the same doesn't apply.
I have at times quite comfortably dialled it back to 180-185, around where the most flavours tend to be but the ABV was quite pale, very workable though, and the ABV could be vaped in large quantities when built up.
I also just tried @Vitolo 's 192C, very potent vapor, even with my small amounts! Nice!
Then I tried small amounts on the "medical" 226C, or setting 9, 439F holy hellballs that is quite medicating and fun! Would the bags get dirty quicker that way?

It's all good, just checking what others do if they leave it on one setting?!
I also remember a guy on YT, and he left his on 369F and joked about the 69 etc,
but I found it corresponded exactly to a setting I had settled on 187C,
I was at 187 because 190 was a bit too cloudy, while 185 was less so!

"One temp vaping" will also minimize having to adjust temperatures until I get this thing set up at a level where it's easier to adjust,

I consider myself very lucky alright! They are a really nice treat for oneself. It will be great for me for Christmas as a present to me and it will deal with a lot of my joint and muscle pain, it's already helping greatly with that, and good for sleeping too if we turn the temperatures high!

Merry Christmas!
It's so interesting: if I don't get the right temperature, vaping can make my joints ache. And I need to keep the temperatures low and then I can sleep just fine--in fact, wonderfully. But too high, too big a cloud, and I'm up and down all night, dreaming weirdly. As you get used to your new Volcano, enjoy the ride!
