One of my friends had some volcano one or something. I don't think he knew how to use it. I tried it twice with him on different occasions and even then the big bag filled up, and I hit it hard, I just never really felt anything.
Even though I'm sure he just had no idea what he was doing, I just never wanted to go to the expense of buying one because of that. I also have a couple glass pipes that I keep really clean and like the taste from them, so that was another reason.
He probably has shit weed or really doesn't know how to use it.
I literally devastated many people with a volcano, even hard smokers who smoke 5-10 grams everyday with a single 1 gram load of good but not great weed.
The secret is starting from low temp like 160 celsius and do a bag of vapor every 5 degrees, so 1 bag at 160, 1 bag at 165, one at 170 until you reach 210 or 220.
You maximize the extraction and literally kill people.
I converted more guys into vaping after destroying their brains than jesus to catholicism and i don't even need to transform piss into wine...
You have to understand, smoking burn 90% of thc etc while vaping get you almost 100% of the effects with far less weed and without fucking your lungs, also taste is like 100x times better because you are not burning the plant, of course if you have shitty weed the difference is smaller but still big, shitty weed still taste at least floreal in a vaporizer.
When i only vaped i consumed like 1\10 of the weed that i consume while smoking.
You have to adjust the tolerance and the type of stone sensation from smoking to vaping for a couple of days, smoke seems stronger jist because you burn a lot of shit while inaling so your brain is fucked up by that not by the ganja.
One big mistake is buying cheap vaporizer who burn the weed or have shitty extraction capacity, thats why a lot of people doesn't get into vaporizer and start smoking again.
You buy a good one for 150 to 300 or more dollar and you are gonna consume so much less weed that is not even funny...
The only downside, they are not very good with the hard type of hash, no problem with the very soft one or resins and concentrates.
Vaporizer are just the smarter way to consume ganja.
