Ok so I've had my volcano for a while now, you guys were a great resource when i was getting started so I thought I would give back a little and share my experiences. So as I mentioned before, the stuff I've been getting of late has been pretty much bone dry. So these settings are probably specific to that. Also my bag is the size it came pre loaded which I guess is about 40cm tall. As for the amount I put in, enough to cover the bottom of the chamber plus an extra wee pinch ;) Bag 1) What I do is set the dial to 6 to pre heat. When I'm ready to fill a bag, I put the chamber on with the bag attached and turn the dial up to 7. When the light goes off I turn on the fan and fill the bag. Bag 2) give the chamber a shake and re-attach the bag. Put it on the volcano, and turn the dial up to 8. When the light goes off, turn on the fan. Bag 3) give the chamber a stir with the wooden end of the brush, re-attach bag, p tut on volcano, turn to 9, wait for light to go out, turn on fan. A few other notes... Don't forget to put the little screen in the chamber once you've filled it. Product everywhere, including in your bag. Total nightmare! I also cooked with my vape poo. Made some biscuitty truffles. The butter recipe on the site worked brilliantly, however I think I need to save up way more poo and put more in in future as i didn't really get much off it although I could taste the green really strong. All in all, I love my volvano, and so do my lungs! Hey everyone!

If it's really wet, I'm not sure of a temp for that but maybe just dry it out a little before vaping. Experimenting with the volcano is a wonderful process :) Higher temps will definitely give you more of a 'couch-lock' buzz, settings of 8 and up. Try a piece of bread in with the dry weed for awhile...fresh bread mind you, so the 'green' will suck the moisture from the bread. Someone else mentioned another trick on the site here somewhere...trying to find it still. But anyway, Congratulations on getting a vaporizer. Bone dry maybe try 5 to start.

I should clarify, I'm from the UK, the stuff we (or maybe I) mostly get is bone dry. Does anyone have any temperature guidlines for very dry product? Reading through the posts on this page, 6 seems to be the average suggested temperature for not to smokey, and probably a good starting point for dry green? I'm going to start on that. I'll keep you posted. Hi everyone, got my vape in the mail today, going to be giving it a blast tonight. I should clarify, I’m from the UK, the stuff we (or maybe I) mostly get is bone dry.

I'm going to be putting in my volcano order in the next couple of days. The comments here have been super helpful in understanding the pros, cons and effects at different temperatures. I'm going to be completely new to vaping so ill probably be looking for a lot of advice. But in return ill hopefully be able to provide some good insight for noobs like me! One question I have right off the bat is; in the UK we seem to get 2 extremes of either really dry (crumble with your finger) stuff or wet (almost gooey) stuff. Could someone perhaps outline some temperature sets for each? Thanks in advance, ill keep you posted. Hello everyone! I’m going to be putting in my volcano order in the next couple of days.

At 392F, I was apparently getting very little to no smoke for a current batch of herb. After grinding some from the same batch and letting it sit out (in low humidity) for a day or 2, it got much drier. Vaping that at 392F produced a noticeable amount of smoke. Unfortunately, there will never be a magic temp that works for all herb. Temp, along with the herb's moisture level, are the 2 main variables that determine how much vapor and smoke you're getting.

You probably did already mention the NORML article but I didn't notice it. I've been enjoying herb for many years but I'm a newbie to vaporizing. I think you're right about seeing some dense vapor produced. My preferred temp right now for catching a buzz is 392F. It sure looks like there is some smoke being produced but maybe it is all just very dense vapor. At 365F, I produce a much less dense vapor that I cannot see in bright light (unless I have a black background). I can easily see it if using only the light from my laptop (which allows me to have a very dark background). So I'm still struggling to identify when smoke is being produced and when it is just vapor. My throat is not irritated at all at 365F but because of the denser vapor (and possibly some smoke) my throat gets irritated after a few bags at 392F. I am also content with the results at 440F but have a lot of trouble believing that a lot of what I can see is not smoke. Assuming the info we've received from NORML is accurate, I think 420-440F would be a good temp range for my first bag or 2. Then I'll bring the temp down as low as 365F for much less irritating bags that still pack a reasonable punch. I appreciate the info you and others have provided. I've gone from vaping at 320-350F to 365F+. Still have much to learn though ... I’ve got the digital and my max temp is also 446F.

If you have the digit, what does your temp max out at? Mine goes up to 446F/230C. Just wondering how consistent they are to each other. (anyone else?) Also , scroll down a little and see my post about couchlockcafe . com and Dr. Hornby. Sorry...thought I mentioned that article from MORML already. Let me know how you're finding the higher temps. or if you are staying lower. Kinda strange, but I find 420F/215C to be pretty enjoyable for both flavor/high. Flavor is still pleasant with a lesser amount of product. Jim, do you have a digit or classic? If you have the digit, what does your temp max out at? Mine goes up to 446F/230C.
