Volcano Vaporizer:Questions and Comments

[reasoner22]

patience-is true. learning curve a gentle slope, 4 me at least.
just got >12 good hits from ~3cc ground old stuff at 342f, turned off+stirred..restarted at 348 + had to go backwards[got smoke] got hits at 346,344,342..off.
the smoke maybe from residue of previous loads. & it seems my aromed signals readiness before it truly is.[i keep a pen cap over the mouthpiece] i think moister pot needs higher temps so it doesnt really make sense to keep dialing up does it? i know it works but whats best+why.
anyroad, i'm nicely high. restirred+ started@342, smoke drove me down to 330. a few hits+restir....326 no good,334 got one,332 another 330-done
another thing is mind/body has to get used to huge lungsful of vapor+o2 you can hold forever vs little lungsful of smoke that u can't necessarily. sounds good+is good, but a whole new thing.
and if u dont taste/feel the good oily stuff in your mouth, ur not getting anything.

re:remains ...anyone made butane hash w/it? maybe mix w/trim?
if not doable,will do some castenada brownies

I usually put in some duff remains and turn it up to 380 and hit that to warm up my aromed bowl and screen. Then I put the fresh in and start at aroun 350. I will have to try to go lower but at 350-360 I get about 15-20 draws with some stirring before the taste is gone. Then I put that away and use it to heat up the next session. If you look at your vap remains with a magnifier u will see there are still crystals on it and good for making butter.
U cant beat the aromed in my opinion.

This thread is interesting to me, so would like to keep it goin

Thanks for the info Colonel. Is all of that stuff found in weed?

The main thing I want to say to people that haven't tried vaporizing is that it just tastes soooo damn good and gets you hiiiiigggghhhhhh.

best invention since ...

[Mastercheefen]

Holy shit. I did not know you could reuse vaped buds. Thats like getting double your moneys worth every time if you used the vaped bud in foods. I really want a volcano now damnit.

[simple_green]

Burning on 5.5 with some kief is the tastiest thing ever, believe me it is sooooo good.
I know that if you go to erowid.com you can get all the chemical properties and burning points and shit like that for weed, but it is pretty much the same as what colonel posted.
but yeah lets try and keep this thread going because its great publicity for the vape and some good info is being exchanged here.

The different combinations of all those chemicals determine the type of high you get when you smoke.

yup, and those are just the KNOWN elements.

i also agree with you.
Vaping > All
I havent broken out the illadelph in months.

yea, there is definately a difference in the type of high you get smoking out of a vaporizer vs. joint/piece/ what have you. As colonel posted, lots of the ingredients in weed are sedatives. When I smoke out of a piece, I feel super lazy, but out of a vap I feel like I have more energy. THC is giving the body the effect it's been trying to all along

for baking purposes, mentioned above, put weed in a pan with oil? I would think that would burn the thc? Seems kind of odd to me, but if it works i'll give it a try

With cooking you get more out of the meds by heating them up in butter or oil. I havent tried oil but have great success with butter. As long as you never heat above 170 degrees you just release the thcbs or what ever it is that is activated by digestion. It is the coolest deal to get to vap and then eat your herb.

The way I do my butter is about 21 g of vap remains added to 2 sticks butter that was put into 1 1/2 cups boiling water to melt and when meds added you reduce heat to simmer and simmer for 4 hours or longer. Then you strain the weed and get all the butter out and then put water and butter in fridge. Leave overnight and the take butter off top and pour water down the drain......

Then follow any recipe with your budder.....

[TheColonel]

I've had good luck w/ butter as well.

Last batch had 55 grams of vapo poo for a stick and a half of butter. they were out of this world strong.

My method is close to allmanjoy's but with a few differences.

I boil a pot of water, throw in the butter and the herb and just keep it at a rolling boil, stirring occasionally to keep the herb from stickin to the sides/bottom of the pot. 30-45 min later strain it through cheesecloth/coffee filter/t-shirt and into a plastic beer cup. Toss it in the fridge and let the butter solidify. Punch a hole in the bottom of the cup to let the water drain. Scrape off the bottom sludge layer and you got a nice hockey puck of butter to use as needed.

I had a volcano (until it was confiscated). Both my cousin (who also has a volcano) and I set the temperature to 7. As far as re-using vap weed, we both do. I use it with my friends as filler for a blunt if we are running low on green since there is still some THC in it. My cousin has told me that he put 11g of vap weed into some brownies and since he wasnt sure if it would work or not he also added 1g of hash. He told me that it was too strong for him and his wife, and they are pretty heavy tokers.

I had some camomile flowers from a tea bag. I put them in the bottom and layerd my weed ontop. I turned it up to 7 and did two bowls out of it. It was nice. The tea sort of smoothed everything out and had the great camomile taste. The camomile seems to calm you down some. I did a bag of just camomile, i deffinaly felt a little more relaxed. I want to find a place around here to get some hops. I heard vaporizing them felt intresting, I am now intrested in all the diffrent kinds of herbs you I can vaporize. Wish there was a good side that had a guide to herbs for the volcano and their uses. Anyone have any suggesitons?

[TheColonel]

Thyme with kif is pretty good.

Basil is supposedly good for the lungs. Supposed to heal damage and such.

i'm sure ars knows a bunch.
