THE VOLCANO

COST: Classic: $420-$550  Digital:$550-$670

Differences between Classic and Digital:

Well the main visual difference is obviously the digital led display versus the old knob design on the classic.

The main difference between the two is that the digital volcano is more accurate. The classic will get within 9 degrees accuracy of the desired temperature where as the digital will get within about 3 degrees.

The other main difference between the two is the temperature ranges. The classic ranges from about 226-446degrees F whereas the digital can go as low as 104-446 degrees F Significantly lower however that lower temperature range would be pretty useless for vaporizing cannabis.

Otherwise both devices are identical in just about every other way.

Difference between solid and easy valve sets.

The difference is basically the solid valve you can operate one bag at a time and pass it around etc. The Easy valve is the same concept except that it comes with the mouth piece pre attached to the balloon so when the balloon gets nasty you will have to throw it away and buy another easy valve set. Where as the solid valve you can replace just the bag. The Easy valve also comes with 5 bags so everyone can have their own bag. Much more hygienic and also convenient if you have large groups of people over or in your household.

Both sets cost about $120 direct from manufacturer so it’s all just personal preference. Of course one or the other will come with your volcano upon purchase.

Construction: Both devices have a very solid construction made from stainless steel. Easy to clean and maintenance/hassle free. The valve sets that come with the vaporizers are also very beefy made from stainless components as well. The volcano is made with surgical tool precision. This Vaporizer is truly medical grade.

Setup/Operation: The volcano comes in a nice box with solid packaging to make you feel assured that nothing has happened to your investment during shipping. Upon opening the vape comes with instructions,a set of bags, an extra air filter,The solid or classic valve set depending upon your choosing,instructions and the vaporizer grinder.( A must have for the vape)

Following the directions if your using the solid valve you basically cut the bag  to the desired size,put on solid valve and clamp it down. Next plug in and turn on. You will see the ‘control’ light if you are using the classic like I am come on. At this point it would be a good time to grind up your cannabis. Now how much is too much and how much is not enough? Well here’s how I do it. Grind up a little bit,insert into the volcano filling chamber and hold it up to the light if you can still see light through the cannabis keep filling until you can see little to no light penetrate. Too much cannabis is not advised as it will not promote good air flow through the chamber so the right level is crucial for a clean invigorating smoke. This technique will yield you 4-6 bags of vapor depening on your cannabis and heat settings. Settings for cannabis should range from 5-7 on the classic model. With 5 you will need to smoke multiple bags to truly feel the effects. Personally I like to keep mine set to 7 it is a bit heavier of a vapor but one bag is usually all you will need to feel the full medical effects. Try out different settings to see which works best for you!

Next,wait for the control light to turn off,place filling chamber on volcano,turn on the ‘air’ button preheat cannabis for roughly 3 seconds then clip the bag on to the top of filling chamber. You will see the bag now beginning to fill up with vapor. Wait for the bag to get full but do not over fill as you may burst the bag or seal on the bag. It is easy to tell if you are over filling it you will hear the bag stretching in agony, this is a good time to pull of the valve and unclip  the chamber now clip on the mouth piece and try it out!!

Impressions: Trying this for the first time if your a long time cannabis smoker is going to be weird for you, it’s definitely not the same. But you will taste the true cannabis instead of the additional smoke and carcinogens. Tha vapor is light and a true pleasure to inhale.  Minimal to no coughing should occur when you use this device it is so smooth. The main attraction of this device is efficiency the volcano will vaporize and give you 80-90% THC where as smoking depending on how you are doing it at most will yield you 30-50% THC. Check out the Cannabis in the filling chamber after you have exhausted all the smoke that can come out of it it is brown but not burned,now imagine the difference to your lungs!

The vaporizer saves you money and your lungs by giving you a better high and using less weed.  The high from the volcano is incredible!! It does take a little longer to hit you by 1-2 minutes than the almost instant high you get from a bong but at the same time that smoke from the bong is also making you dizzy and perhaps why you feel high faster.This device is hands down the best smoking device I have ever tried, I have used multiple vaporizers,bongs, and various other devices and all pale in comparison to the mighty volcano. I will use this device 9/10 times now once in a while switching over to my ROOR bong. It is definitely the best smoking device for any medical patient or person that is apprehensive about smoking. This device is so easy on your lungs and makes cannabis taste and smell so good. yes it costs alot but you can’t put a price on health. This is an investment! Long story short If you are a medical patient,snob,cannabis lover you need this it will change your world. Truly a device for all weedsnobs. 5 Noses up out of 5 *****
