My Volcano is finally here! I've waited a long time to get one of these, and it's better than I ever thought it would be.

Have you vaped flower before? This is helluva first vape!

I had tried a friend's Dynavap before but not aside from that. It is quite a unit for a first timer haha, I did a lot of research before deciding it was the one. I know it will last my fiancée and I a long time if we care for it, which was the most important thing to us.

Dynavaps are nice. Especially with a induction heater.

The mighty+ is a fantastic handheld vape as well.

Welcome to the club! I combust rarely anymore.

Mine is going strong after 5 years, with one button repair I did myself. Loved it so much I bought my husband one for use in the basement so he doesn't have to schlep upstairs to mine every time he wants to fill a bag.

Noice!! I have a airizer extreme q but if I could have afforded the volcano I'd have gone with that. I have the crafty from storz and bickel and it's a really well made device.

I got the EQ also. It’s really good for the price. You can get such a thick bag

[–] cassetti@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Few pro tips for the EQ

  • PREHEAT! Let that sucker heat up for 15 minutes before loadign with herb

  • Camelback Silicone "bite valve" tips fit the 10mm glass mouthpiece on the EQ balloons - this traps vapor until you bite down on the silicone to release the vapor.

  • Don't forget about the nugget method - preheat the device and put a single tiny unground nugget in the oven. This is awesome for flavor chasing as you get to refresh the flavor every time you stir to break up the nugget between puffs.

The bags are too much for everyday use for me, I use the whip 99 percents of the time. I'm a lightweight lol.

[–] SpezCanLigmaBalls 2 points 2 years ago

The bags will absolutely get you geeked. But remember you don’t have to fill the bowl up all the way

[–] cassetti@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Pro tip - the cheaper silicone "Bite Valves" from Camelbak slide over the 10mm joint on the EQ balloons and work perfectly to seal vapor - just use the bite valve to open the seam and suck out the vapor then release to seal up again

Congrats! I love my digit. I love to pack the bowl full and then let it sit to heat up for 5-10 minutes and then when I pull a bag it's immediately super thick. Sometimes I also drop a little concentrate on top but carefully and in moderation and I don't let it sit in that case since it might drip down inside if not using the concentrates insert (I like to live a little dangerously).

[–] hsinner@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Nice OP! Since I got my volcano I just can't go back to other methods.

[–] teydam@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Arizer Q user for years, when i finally got some money I bought myself this in 2021 I think. Greatest piece of technology up there with my gaming PC, and air fryer. just gotta keep the boveda packs stocked for that dry ass weed, sometimes fluffy stuff don't work either.

Stumbled across this post. What am I looking at?

[–] cassetti@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

Behold, the Storz & Bickel Volcano Dry herbal vaporizer! It's a remarkable device that brings a touch of elegance to the world of botanical indulgence.

Now, you might be wondering what exactly it's used for. Well, let's just say it's perfect for exploring the aromas and flavors of a certain herb that some people affectionately call the "devil's lettuce" (wink, wink). But hey, it can also be used for other herbs like tobacco if you're feeling adventurous.

This specific vaporizer works by delicately cooking the herb, much like a miniature oven, and using a fan to fill a turkey bag with vapor. It does so at precise temperatures, which unlocks different active compounds in the herb, leading to various effects. Think of it as a sophisticated way to enjoy enhanced aroma-therapy without the need for combustion.

And let me tell you, this specific model is the crème de la crème of desktop plug-in vaporizers, the Mercedes of herbal enjoyment! It's built with top-notch components, ensuring a superior flavor experience compared to those budget-friendly alternatives. Plus, it's great for social gatherings too. Just imagine everyone having their own balloon filled with vapor, creating a unique and memorable shared experience.

A Storz & Bickel Volcano. A convective vaporiser with a fan strong enough to fill the attached bag. In the bag the vapor cools down fairly quickly for you to inhale.
