Herbalizer vs Volcano

If you were happy with your Extreme Q, why not get another one?

You could buy another Q for about 1/3 of the price of either the Volcano or Herbalizer.

you could also check e-bay for an Extreme Q mod called the DDave mod.

 

If bags are your preference you could look at the Vapir Rise vaporizer or the herbal Air 2.2 or Elite.
You could buy one of these vapes and still have a LOT of $ left for medicine.

Just my opinion. It's your $ so you get to decide.

 

Not to contradict you, but the herbalaire does accept ground material. That is generally how I use mine as the density of vapor seems better. I also thought the external pump was a big plus for me as if it ever needs replacement (mines going on 3 years) you can easily buy another aquarium pump. You can also get different pumps based on your style. If the pump/fan shits out in a Cano/herbalizer/Q your up shit creek. Herbalaires are also renowned for their durability and craftsmanship. Once again I'm not trying to deter you from whatever you have your mind set on I'm just trying to offer some insight on the pros of the extremely underrated herbalaire.

I own a volcano digital and I love it its about five years old and I use it everyday.

I would replace like for like if it broke now

Hth

 

Its the same as when I was gifted it. From switching on it take about a min to hit temp then about two mins too fill it up , it also turns itself off when I forget. Sadly cant speak for your essential oils but it has a thicker gauze for oil and it vapes rosin .

 

You get what you pay for imho.

If your heavy into oils ask others first as I cant compare it to a proper oil rig as tbh I have never tried one.bi was given the rosin and tried it in the cano. It took the face off me lol and when I went to empty it there was nothing left it disappeared .

I'm a three year herbie user and two year owner. I use mine daily and it functions as the day I bought it, my brother can report the same thing with his older unit.

The fast heat up time and highly consistent temperature control are the most impressive parts of this vapourizer. It takes no more than 12 seconds from hitting "vaportherapy" to be at your desired temperature.

If you're mainly a bag user I would suggest hopping over to FuckCombustion forums and look at the Herbalizer thread. The stock Herbalizer bags are terrible so with a few Herbalizer pieces the Volcano Solid Valve can be used with the Herbalizer. The volcano bags and solid valve system are far superior to the Herbalizer bags and only cost $75 shipped from S&B, replacement rolls of bag material are $9 for 3 rolls. I doubt I will need bags for a very long time as I only use 18" at a time and they last a month.

The biggest difference between the two vapes is Herb chamber size. The Herbalizer has a small bowl that can fit 0.4g compared to the Volcano which can swallow over a gram of weed. This leads to issues with the Volcano when you don't require much weed to get high and wish to conserve what you have. People complain that the Volcano will burn through a lot of weed compared to the Herbalizer which can be very efficient at extracting from small amounts. Of course if you are sharing with friends often enough, I would get the Volcano as it's larger bags and Herb chamber are more suited to 2-4 people. The Herbalizer is best suited to use as a solo unit but two people can use it if desired, three is really stretching the amount of herb in the chamber thin.

 

I don't use the whip that often as it begins to irritate my throat from having to draw from it so much. I like to use the whip to connect to my DIY bubbler and use the fan assist, besides that I don't really use it. I really like using the Herbie with a water piece and many others do too.

I find that filling bags at 445*F is the best for concentrates. They require more heat for an extended amount of time to produce vapor. I feel that the Herbie does a great job of extracting the maximum out of your concentrates. I would recommend using pieces of cotton ball and placing the concentrate inside the middle of it. This makes for easy clean up of the concentrate and no mess.

 

There's honestly nothing left but plant waxes by the end. It's this hard dark brown oily goop that really isn't worth saving as it's already been fully extracted.

The concentrate pads work well but they get dirty very fast. I would give them a try upon receiving the herbie to see for yourself.
