Thread starter carfo Start date May 6, A grinder is included to offer you a finer concentration of product that you may not be familiar with. Engineered from the ground up to offer the best flavor, the Volcano works best when all herb is ground with the two-piece grinder.

Herb is expensive, and it can be wasted by keeping the material on top of the Volcano when vaping. The filling chamber should be removed when not being used, even for a short time, because the heat from the vaporizer will continue to degrade the herb left in the chamber. When the bag starts to thin, leave the chamber on top of the Volcano for a few minutes before turning on the fan. Temperature settings are designed to offer clean convection without the fear of harsh flavors or burnt material even at high temperature settings.

Turn up the heat to F or higher, testing out different temperature ranges to find one that is best suited to your tastes. Start lowering the temperature over time, making note of the changes, to find the best temperature for your taste. Note: Vapor does tend to go stale, and it will go stale if the vapor sits in the bag for too long. While you can leave the vapor in the bag for 1 — 2 hours, it tastes best when the vapor is finished within 5 minutes.

A lot of long-term users found that the ideal temperature range, when using the Classic, is between 4. The temperature will remain at under c with the goal of not overheating the contents in the chamber. Preheat the flower for best results, or crank it up to 10 and try it while adjusting the temperature lower, with each bag filling to find the ideal temperature. Vapor thickens as it heats up, and the first bag will often be less flavorful and the right consistency than subsequent bags.

One technique is to watch the bag closely and adjust the temperature when filling the bag for the first time. You can inhale the vapor, and then fill it back up to have a bag filled with the dense vapor that you prefer. The bags are designed to be removed at any time, allowing the bag to be filled and removed multiple times as needed.

Volcano is designed with a chamber that accepts almost any size load of herb. A liquid pad can be placed in the chamber to take up the excess space. Volcano also sells dosing capsules, which will be able to hold different levels of herb with better precision. Ramped temperature profiles are ideal for some users and not others. When trying to find the perfect taste and density, a lot of users will start in the 5. The idea is to fill the bag more and more, increasing the temperature during the session.

The Digital Volcano can follow the same ramp-up profile by slowly increasing the temperature as the bag fills. Over time, the Volcano may start to rattle or make a low sound when in use. The rattling is caused by screws coming loose over time, and the screws used are not conventional. Torx T8 safety screwdrivers are the right option to tighten the screws and keep the unit from rattling. Loctite can be used with great success to keep the screws from working their way out of the Volcano.

Replacement screws are available direct, and the replacement screws will use the conventional screw that can be used with a Philips screwdriver. That's not the only option, however. For thicker clouds, you can start filling a bag and keep an eye on the vapor density. Once the vapor starts getting visible, pull the bag off and inhale the lighter, tastier vapor. You don't need to fill a full bag, just pull it off when you like the look of the vapor. After you're done, the second bag you fill will be full and dense from start to finish.

As always, you can experiment and dial in the vapor density that you like best. Your materials will continue to vape sitting on top of the Volcano Hybrid. As you near the end of the session and the bags start to thin out, you can leave the filling chamber on top of the Volcano Classic for a few minutes before turning on the fan. This isn't necessary with the Volcano Hybrid. It works best when full, or half-filled with the included concentrate pad taking up the extra space.

Solo users who are often only enjoying a bag or two should check out the Volcano dosing capsules and adapter. The capsules hold one tenth of a gram, instead of the half gram capacity of an empty filling chamber, and the reducer directs the air straight into the capsule for satisfying hits.
