I love this thing. I wanted a Volcano for years. It feels like both science and magic at the same time. I can put enough flowers into me to be as stoned as I need to be without the gross respiratory effects. I’ve always struggled to use flowers through the winter months when holiday anxiety redoubles my weed need. Between this and my employee discount, I bet I can avoid my traditional holiday season drinking. If I can manage that, it’ll have paid for itself twice. It was expensive af, but I paid for $200 of it with a gift card I got from a sales competition. So far it has been 100% worth it.
EDIT: Sync doesn’t display my extra pictures! =O
Longevity is what I was hoping for! I’ve had a handful of dry herb vapes that just couldn’t keep up with or maintain my use needs. Part of why I went with the classic is that the lack of conduction element means the weed in the basket doesn’t dry out or lose potency. My friend who has the digital says that the conduction element will slowly cook her flowers if she leaves it on and makes the basket too hot to touch for a while after turning it off. We do leave it on for long periods of time, and your endorsement will probably have us leaving it on more. Heat cycling can be worse for some equipment than staying hot.
Ah yeah, good point. I should clarify: I have the hybrid, and I leave the vaporizer itself on all day, but I remove the basket after I fill the bag each time. It definitely will cook the herbs if I leave the basket on.
Eventually I’ll figure out the best method for using the whip, but you just can’t beat a full bag of vapor imo!
