Does volcano release stable temp steam?

[Hubbleman]

Since mine takes few minutes to warm up... u then turn it ON and after few seconds heater turns ON again, is the temperature stays stable while u fill the whole bag?

dont know about it mannn,but i seen it,i mean them balloons for it. 3mtrs. impressive.

I've been in process of including a fairly concentrated usage and application practice with my new Volcano classic this pass week(a 1 week ownership has elapsed already,has it entered me into a unaware till now time warp)

I've ventriculated to disregarding the control light after initial warmup with no problems presented
doing chambers at the different temperature settings is making a color mosaic in my glass keeper jar

I have a question... so you say yours takes some time to warm up ? don't they all ?

and also..

does it just need warming up for the first hit ? or do all the hits need some time ?

volcano is solid
you may wanna give it a second inbetween bags but you may need to give you a second as well

 

[longearedfriend]

a second as in a second... or a second as in a minute or 2 or more ?

I have a volcano digi and although I normally do not vape more than 2 per chamber, the display temp does not vary while filling or in between bags. I don't think there would be any difference in heating time/consistency for the classic or digi, just one has red and green numbers you get to watch, but same internal heating elements-basket

the unit is pulling in room temperature air, this eventually cools the heating element enough for the thermostat to kick in which turns on more heat to keep the temperature consistent.


it sounds like it's working fine.......

the best high i have got has been the volcano and a knock off that set sideways still had the 3 button fan heat power the air button went green when temp is reached,
i would say asec has in 15 actuals seconds but it may take longer than that to clear the bag. ive never got high of any other style vape but the bag

Yep, FAD....funtions as designed. The heating element in the Volcano has significant mass which is why it takes a while to heat up. As you run air through, the element cools a bit (educated guess is 1-2 degrees fluctuation) then heat is applied to bring it back up. Same reason a simple vape with a coil type heating element is all over the place temp wise.

from fuckcombustion.com. this guy seemed to know what he was talking about

Really, the discriminating vaporizer purchaser needs to understand that the presence of a "digital display" is much more significant from a marketing and sales point of view than it is from a user/functional one. It is the connotation of "digital displays are more accurate/precise" that makes units sell, not the actual real functional performance or correctness -- something much harder to measure and understand. For vaporizers, as with most home appliances, "good enough" really is enough for most people -- everything else is a sales tactic.

I disagree with this, although the temperature on the display is not the actual herb temp, it's still accurate of the heater temp.

But most significant is that analog/mechanical thermostats such as on my old Volcano Classic only adjust the temperature once every few minutes, and can allow the temperature to vary by as much as 20 degrees before cycling on and off. For example if you set a Volcano Classic to 350, it will approximately oscillate between 340 and 360 continuously.

Digital thermostats often adjust the temperature every second or even several times per second which normally allows it to stay within 0-3 degrees of your set temperature. This completely eliminates the 20 degrees up and down roller coaster of analog devices.

So even if the temperature on the display is 50 degrees off, it's maintained within 0-3 degrees accuracy while an analog will device will vary by as much as 20 degrees.

So even if an analog device did state the actual temperature of the herb (which they don't), it will still vary widely. I'll take a temp that's 50 degrees off but maintained within 3 degrees over one that's more accurate to the actual herb temp but varies 20 degrees constantly.

Not to mention, with most if not all digitals the actual temp is also shown, with an analog you have no idea of the progress when warning up and need to wait "blindly" until the light goes off, not knowing if you're 20 degrees or 200 degrees away.
