Just experiment with temps and you'll find what you like. I just don't recommend leaving it on the volcano for too long or in the bag too long. Oh ya, remember, that’s just one method.

Also, as Vapormaster points out, keeping it fresh in the bag. As vapor sits in the bag over time, it will slowly turn to oils/resins that will collect inside the bag, This is the vapor you want before that happens. Try this method...Start with 1 gram of product, Volcano at 6.5/7. Use .25gm each time (4 bags/save leftovers each time.). Allow Volcano to reach temp. Put chamber on, wait for 30sec./min or so(this is preference...pre heats product a little.),turn on and wait about 5 sec or so...you should notice a light vapor coming out, quickly snap bag on and fill, enjoy. Now with the leftovers from round 1, grind up slightly with fingers(should be easy),turn up Volcano to 7.5/8 and split that in to 2 bags...You can try a 3rd round at a higher temp again but taste becomes an issue.:(, or you can try starting off at a little lower temp like 5.5 or 6. Try not to let it sit in the bag longer than 10-15 minutes, although they suggest it can sit up to 90 min.

Why do you fill, and let it deflate and refill? Most folks (I could be wrong) will fill a bag full, take the chamber off the heat - enjoy the whole bag until empty, and then refill and repeat. Vapor does get stale if you ask me and by continually topping off the bag, you're not keeping it as fresh as you could.

But from what you are describing, I would suspect the thermostat may be failing. I'd recommend contacting S&B (oakland[at]storz-bickel.com) - they're super helpful and can probably fix you. Please comment back with whatever you learn. I have not experienced that problem. But from what you are describing, I would suspect the thermostat may be failing.

I have the solid valve type and heard that a common problem with volcanoes is that the heating coil inside collapses and therefore cannot get up to temperature. I opened it up but the coils are fine.
