I love this thing. I wanted a Volcano for years. It feels like both science and magic at the same time. I can put enough flowers into me to be as stoned as I need to be without the gross respiratory effects. I’ve always struggled to use flowers through the winter months when holiday anxiety redoubles my weed need. Between this and my employee discount, I bet I can avoid my traditional holiday season drinking. If I can manage that, it’ll have paid for itself twice. It was expensive af, but I paid for $200 of it with a gift card I got from a sales competition. So far it has been 100% worth it.

EDIT: Sync doesn’t display my extra pictures! =O

    I used to have one. It’s great for a group but I outgrew it and don’t really host many events at my place anymore. A simple pen style vape suffices and it’s way less cleanup when I’m just trying to hit something after work.

      We’ve had a few smaller dry herb vapes. Our usage is just too much for them. And I don’t host super often, but just about everyone I do host is a dispensary coworker with a higher tolerance than me! We’d clog the pax and spend half our time cleaning it. I spend less time cleaning the volcano if only because it’s designed for high volume use.

        The pax isn’t really a measurement for a good portable. Try something like a tinymight 2 or the new S&B venty

          Those are both, especially the Venty, at a “why not just get a volcano?” price point. We don’t need dry herb vaporization on the go. I can pack the Ooze Beacon with some concentrate or a bring a cart for that. I just need something to go through some flowers at home. And I’ll be honest: I still don’t trust either of those to keep up with the sheer volume of flower we can use here. A sturdy stationary model is ideal for our usage.

            I’m glad it works for you :) I’m saying this because you talked about the pax, a portable. Idk about the venty, but the TM is well worth it and might perform better then a volcano, and ofc milk a bong. You might want to read about it on fuckcombustion or something before ruling it out. Also, check out some ball vapes if you want to upgrade yourself to something heavier.
