I smoke weed alot out of a bong but have been getting frustrated with how much I have to clean it. I also notice that I use a lot of my supply and was wondering how much weed the Volcano saves you? TIA!

    Varies entirely from person to person. Many people have a hard time making the switch to dry flower vaporizing because their bodies are accustomed to the toxic cocktail of carcinogenics and carbon monoxide yielding an instant euphoric headrush and couch-lock.

    Dry vaporizing takes time to hit you (5-10 minutes) so that can be hard for many people who expect a more instantaneous affect.

    Additionally unlike smoking where you get everything at once, with dry vaporizing we use different temperatures to release different medical benefits from the flower.

    I work in the industry over the past decade and have handled countless dry flower vaporizers (literally lost count around four dozen). While I enjoy the Volcano, I don’t find it the most efficient vaporizer on the market.

    For a novice beginner on a budget, I often suggest the Dynavap Vapcap - it can be tricky to use (so watch videos first!!) but it packs a hell of a good punch for the money, and it’s a great transition for people who smoke regularly.

      I primarily use a vaporizer, and this isn’t really true in my experience. Usually, I start feeling it within 5-20 seconds of taking the first hit, and it ramps up in intensity over the next 20 seconds to a minute. If I didn’t feel anything for 5-10 minutes, I’d be concerned.

        Haha I’m more so talking about heavy smokers who are looking for something - it can take 5 minutes for the affects to really be noticeable to them.

      I got a lot of confusing info when they were figuring out vaping liquid carts was bad. Does dry herb vaping not have this problem?

        Vape carts were bad because they had lots of chemicals additives like vitamin E activate that stuck around in your lungs and killed you. Dry herb vaping doesn’t have those sketchy chemicals so it is safe.
