Tips and tricks for using the Volcano Vaporizer
Here are some tips for you to improve your enjoyment of the Volcano Vaporizer. Enjoy!
- Grind your herbs as finely as possible. The finer you grind your herbs the more effective becomes the vaporiazation method because you increase the surface. The Volcano comes with a grinder which is very good for this. You can also get an electric coffee grinder like Snoop Dogg uses in the Up in Smoke DVD
- Always let the Volcano heat up for a few minutes before using it!
- You can vaporize the same herbs several times. Don’t overdo it though. When the stuff changes colour and loses smell its time to throw it away
- When you have sensitive lungs and a Volcano hit makes you cough try lower settings. You don’t have to use the Volcano at the highest setting!
- To make the Volcano experience even more enjoyable, hook the Volcano up with a bong to cool the vapor. Check this post to see how to use the Volcano Vaporizer with a bong!

I personally use the vaped bud as “tobacco” for spliffs when I am out at parties/places where vaporizers are impractical. It is the best replacement for tobacco in spliffs I have ever found. It makes smoking “pure” joints much less knockout and harsh/tickly.
You can also use the vaped bud to create cannabutter so don’t be throwing it away!!
One final piece of info for you - I am about to try bong with volcano as per this youtube video (hilarious guy in it btw!) http://www.youtube.com/verify_age?&next_url=/watch%3Fv%3DPEiQ430v0TM . You don’t need any special addon… it’s so simple to do. You just need any bong with a glass bowl… press the mouthpiece against glass bowl and suck in through the water. I am hoping that using this technique will allow me less sore throat/tight chested syndrome. Bong arrives tomorrows!
Thats great advice about smoking the vaped bud in joints. In coffeeshops they lay that stuff on the table for smoking too, but somehow i never tried it out.
Ill give that a shot, thx!
STEAMY TIP:
Get your fingers wet under the tap, and then flick a few droplets of tapwater onto the top of the packed herb in your canister (before the lid goes on).
Next, place the screen/lid on. Place on top of Volcano & run the fan.
Enjoy the slightly moister, slightly warmer steambag. Less coughing.
____________________________
Also….our recipe for heat is this:
————————————————–
Turn the dial to 9 and let Volcano heat until control light goes off. TURN OFF HEAT AT THIS POINT AND *THEN* RUN THE FAN. I find if I leave the heat “on” while doing the fan part (whether at 7, 8, or 9), it results in a “nutty” flavour that obscures the nicer herbal flavour.
excellent tips. im going to try the aforementioned steamy bag.
Tell me what you're thinking...
