Yeah it's more of a case of what shops dont have them now, a few (Katsu & Happy Feelings) have Verdampers.

It´s a good idea to try it first, ´cause I know some people, who don´t like to vaporize. They say, they miss something; but usually these are bong smokers and/or heavy cig smokers. I personally got a volcano (not digital) and I like it (I don´t think you have to spent extra money for the digit). But for me it´s more another cool way to consume cannabis and not a total replacement for pure spliffs. I wish storz & bickel would offer some kind of filters, ´cause somtetimes (at higher temps) the vapor feels a little "dusty" on the inhale.
Have fun in the Dam!

I've used a Silver Surfer vape for many years and love it (I have 3). I'm in my 70s and do not have many people over for getting high sessions so the SSV is best for me.. passing the SSV wand around is kinda like playing musical chairs and a PITA, so I did buy a volcano about a year ago.. I've used it twice.. unless I'm doing something really wrong, it isnt very efficient. Turned it on, let it warm up and put in a gram of A+ bud, filled the bag (volcano bag).. I think I got 5-6 hits out of that bag.. filled it again with the same herb, didnt taste as good and another 5-6 hits.. for me, alone, its a waste of time and herb.. it just sits there now.. for efficiency, the SSV rocks.. and is a couple hundred cheaper.. The down side of vaping is once you go to vaping, 'burning' sucks.. tasting ash, butane/sulfur and burning lungs..

Most vapes are straight up garbage. The silver surfer works okay but still a huge waste and fumbling with the whip gets old quick. The volcano is a joke. My preference for the desktop has been a completely pimped out Arizer Extreme-q: new bowl, new whip, either hard packed screens or sit there and vibrate the bowl by drumming the damn thing, bouncing it off its rubber feet to get the herb stirred as you go.

Back when Planet Vape made a decent High Efficiency bowl for the Arizer handhelds, it really clicked how inefficient every other method (besides the first half of a perfectly rolled spliff) really is. I cant get high off a spoon anymore. Can barely tolerate a joint. If I want to hit a bong I still use a vape to do it.

One vape that hits harder than the Arizer, with even less herb is the Epic Vape e-nano, but it suffers from the same lack of engineering/understanding that made the old Planet Vape High Efficiency concept so grand. For a perfectly activated full extraction youve got to suspend the herb and pull air through it like youre drying a towel over a box fan..With the e-nano, you take one hit and the path of least resistance starts building up resin on the outer perimeter and then only the herb in the very center gets vaped, as that's the only place air is passing through. The outer perimeter will collect more and more resin with every hit, making it completely useless by the 4th load.

Its as simple as having a diffuser in front of and behind the screen to spread the path of least resistance out across the width of the bowl, not allowing it down the center. The stock Arizer glass ALMOST does this but they obviously have not real consideration for fighting the path of least resistance. They've made some stupid decisions over the years showing they don't understand the importance of fully extracting the full spread of herb by forcing air through it, not around it, not through half of it, but through all of it.

Wish I knew anything about manufacturing connections I'd have the damn things made right and thered be none of this left over vaped herb with resin still in it that people assume is a given when it's a total unnecessary flaw of unengineered atomizer design.

You are definitely doing something wrong as the volcano is the most efficient way to smoke. Try using .3 grams at a time well ground. I have the classic and get 3 full 2 1/2 foot balloons off of .6 grams. I put .3 into warmed chamber for first balloon at setting 6 when warming light goes off I fill balloon completely. Empty that into the orange grinder refil with another .3 at setting 6 and repeat. When done with the second balloon I grind the already been vaped .6 grams with the orange grinder they give you. Fill the champer back with the abv .6 grams and turn the vape up to 7 - 7 1/2 letting it warm up. When the light goes off for the second time fill the balloon.

Thank you for the advice, I'm sure it works but again, I'm in my 70s'.. Your instruction, while it may be successful and efficient for you at your age, is too time consuming at my age..:). I get older every minute:biggrin:

Yeah it is definitely time consuming, a typical session is @15 minutes unless I am relaxing at night with it then its 30 minutes. For speed I just take dabs.
Good luck
