It just seems like the Volcano is an 18 wheeler and the Vapor Brothers / SSV are like a Honda Accord

Friendly PSA for everyone, just a reminder to change your intake filters. My Volcanoes don't get much use these days and when a friend asked to borrow one, I jumped at the chance to give it some utility again. As I was doing some maintenance to prepare for shipping, I decided I should change my intake filter too:
Pretty sure it started out the same colour as the replacements in the baggie. Those dots are dust and the whole thing crumbled as soon as I took it out.
I honestly can't remember the last time I changed this out.

Ok yall, I'm done honeymooning with the Vapbong and the Volcano Classic is back out to play.
My buddy made me this custom rig and adapter for filtering my bags. The rig chugs and the adapter solved the issue of bags pointing straight up in my face!! Lol. Gotta love the innovation.
@campanelliglass on Instagram, not sure if he can commission pieces at this time but it never hurts to ask!

Maybe not the best thread to ask this but is the Volcano still relevant in 2021?
I'm considering buying one for doing sessions with my gf together.
Is the volcano able to handle micro dosing? What's the smallest dose possible while still getting some quality vapor? Micro dosing would be rather my personal thing without sharing.

I think the volcano classic is still relevant in 2021, but probably not worth it at retail sticker price.
If I was looking for a very lazy session, or if I was bedridden, the volcano classic would be my go-to. It is a good enough vaporizer for most of my friends. Pros are it's good for clumsy people, it will efficiently extract a gram over 5-10 bags. Cons are the vapor could be both denser and smoother (slightly airy/harsh but again, plenty good enough).

Usually I like to vape small doses, 30/50/70mg with my Volcano. I set mine at 230 Celsius degrees for maximum extraction and inflate an XL bag with 3/4 hits worth of vapor. I think it’s the best vape for micro dosing other than the best vape period. And I bought mine after many other vapes, asking myself if it was worth it the whole time. I think it’s well worth it.
That's a mighty fine piece there!

I bought my classic as a second hand item and the vapor from it has had a funky aroma since I got it, which has’nt gone away in over a year and a half. Do you guys have any tips other than changing out the air filter and the silicone hoses inside of it?

Like zoinks man
Using the dosing capsule adapter I can easily vape .12-.15 at a time with the hybrid. I made a little workflow so that I can extract an entire capsule in one bag hands free. Does all the temp stepping for me. My volcano is one of my daily drivers for sure.

I don’t use my Volcano that often, usually only when I have a three day weekend. My workplace is taking a four day weekend so out it came. I always get confirmation of how effective it can be. I just barely covered the screen and got two really enjoyable bags as far as effects go. I’m going to go finish with one more bag. If I don’t report back you’ll understand why...

Hey all! New volcano classic owner here. Recently acquired an old volcano hand me down. Appears to have sat in a dusty garage for some time. How can I revive this? What would you clean? Should I take it apart to refresh it somehow? Where do you suggest to go for the spare parts needed to get into action. I only have the base portion and need bags and the rest.

I would carefully disassemble it AND BLOW ALL THE DUST OUT (Watch the movies of this being done on you tube). Maybe run some fine sandpaper on the thermostat.
First plus it in and turn on the heating switch then the blower.... do they both work?
If not working send it in they will fix it (for a price).
Remember in the end when you use the Classic Volcano Less flower is More.

Thanks @Vapinmofo
Everything powers up and fan still blows. Just notice it's a bit dusty. I'll plan on doing this. What size or type of tool do I need to remove them screws? I also have a starter kit on the way, can't wait to test this thing out.

The simple truth is that many people use the Volcano incorrectly.
First of all people use way too much flower.
you really only need between 25-50 mg of fine ground (20-30 % thc) flower to fill a bag.
I use kitchen measuring spoons to get consistent bags. I have one called a "PINCH" (1/16 spoon) which holds 50 mg loose in the spoon.
For stronger flower (30%) I use a "Smidgen) 1/32 spoon .
So I use less when using stronger flower by 1/2.
Put a "liquid pad" on top of your fine ground flower in the filling chamber.
Not too HOT!!! Mine is set to 6.5 on the dial. My machine is 6 years old and I never turn it off.
So at 50 mg flower for a Bag of vapor that would be 20 Bags in a gram of flower. if that is not efficient I would like to know what us efficient.
70 Bags in an 1/8th.
Some people run the flower more than once. If there is still vapor in a second run then you are using too much flower.
Experiment with quality quantity and temp to see what works best for you.
You do not need to have a Bag with milk like vapor to get a great effect.
If you put some thought into it a person can dose very precisely and consistently with the Volcano.
From my perspective.
Drier flower is better.
too much flower makes it harsh
Too Much Heat makes it harsh.
Less is more.
When using a new bag the flavors is amazing. Older used bags loose this great flavor over time.
You can always Buy the XL bags and use a rubber band to make them the exact size that works best for you.
With the Volcano there are a number of variables:
Temp
quality
quantity
Balloon size
All effect the taste and effect of the flower.
Experiment
Use 30-50 mg per bag at 6/1/2 on the dial into a stock balloon to start. I will guess that you will end up enjoying your Volcano.
enjoy

you are using way too much flower if you are only getting 5-10 bags a gram. If using 100 mg per bag harsh vapor is to be expected Try 30-50 mg flower in the filling chamber with a liquid pad on top of it.. Vapor density is atleast partially a function of flower quality (thc %)
Anyway I think you will see this works well and is not harsh... too much heat will cause harshness too.
enjoy

My first Volcano was a Hand me down. I am guessing his girlfriend made him choose between the Volcano or her. She won and I found the Volcano (old school solid valve) in the Trash!! Yes one switch was broken. sent it in for a service in the end it did not blow as hard as it should. Oh well. Used it for 5 years then sent it in again and got it replaced at a steep discount.
Yeah Hand me downs are great
I've owned my volcano classic since 07. During the time, I've only had to bring it in once. I'm having issues with my pump now, and noticed it takes 1-2 minutes to fill a 3 gallon turkey bag.
I've tried reaching out to S&B, and it's been a week with bo response.
I would do the work myself since it's just 2 wires and four bolts to change out the pump. Unfortunately, it seems as if they've gone to great lengths to not have that pump be available to the general public.
Very frustrating that I may have to go back to smoking because storz and bickel can't respond in a timely manner. I dobt expect service, but I expect some support for the product. 0 options is tough to swallow.
