Default Volcano Vs. Vapor Bothers

 

I am looking into a vapor cuz i've been smoking daily bongs for the past 3-4 years and my lungs are...well you could imagine how the look/feel like....
anyway I was looking into volcano (although a tidy bit pricy) and heard good things about the vapor brother (price wise is nice too)...anyway which one do you recommend? feel free to add your feedback about any other vaporizers.

Try the search feature next time as there are lots of threads on this subject....

But if you can afford the volcano go for it, there's no substitute for it's ease of use. However I, like many others, started with the vapor brothers and it still delivered earth shattering vapor rips once you master how to use it.

Having tried both the Volcano and the Vapor Bros, and keeping their prices in mind, I would say to go for the Vapor Brothers. For one thing most if not all the vapor bros vapes come with ceramic heating elements as opposed to the Volcano which comes with an aluminum heating element. Most people probably don't care but I noticed a huge taste difference in the two with the vapor brothers not only tasting better, but giving me a better high and, being healthier for the user in the long run. It may have just been me but when I used a Volcano it made the buds taste kind of hayish, and with the vapor bros your herb will pretty much taste exactly how it smells. With all that said, the Volcano is quite a bit more expensive and I would think that the aluminum heating element couldn't be too good for you after frequent use. If you decide not to go with either I would definitely recommend getting a nice glass tube with a hakko 456(which also uses a ceramic heating element)

i've never used a volcano, but vapor bros/vaporwarez are fucking amazing. vaporwarez are $120 on ebay and function basically the same as a vaporbros, but the vaporbros looks nicer, has cool led lights, and the whole thing including the whip seems to just be built more high quality. if my vaporwarez ever breaks i'll get a vaporbros.

if you've never used a good vape before, a vaporbros will be like a religious experience. i can't see the volcano being that much better to warrant $400-500 more dollars, unless you've already had other vapes and are looking for ''the best''

i also would not recommend the hakko for straight vaporizing, its way easier and better just to get a vaporbros/vaporwarez

You must not know how to vape with a hakko then. I've had mine for a couple of months now and just actually started vaping with it recently and I've nearly mastered the technique. It is kind of difficult to get it down but after a while it gets really easy and the quality of the vapor is just as good as a vapor bros. and IMHO better than a Volcano and not to mention a hakko is only 50 ducks.

nice thanks for the feedback guys...more appreciated.... I never used a vape before only bongs (I love my roor) anyway im leaning towards the vape bros specially because im more comfortable spending 150-200 then 600-700 for a vapor...more info would be appreciated i might change my mind and get a volcano.

I don't think you can go wrong either way.

Having only hit tubes/bubs/dry pieces, the first time I vaped was orgasmic. Completely different from smoking. My experience was with a Volcano classic: bud tastes better and lasts longer than smoking.

At the moment, I own 11 tubes and a shit ton of ac's/slides. My next purchase for anything canna-related will be a Volcano. Guaranteed.

Might I also suggest looking into the Silver Surfer Vaporizer. I've read and heard many good things about it and I am definitely considering one. I actually wouldn't even recommend the volcano at all at least until you have tried other vaporizers. For one, the Volcano is very expensive and in my eyes not at all worth what you will pay for it. Two of my friends have them and I have used them on many different occasions and I ALWAYS find myself disappointed and craving my Hakko. The aluminum heating element the Volcano uses ruins the taste of your buds and makes them seem rather bland in comparison with the flavor you could get from a vape with a ceramic heating element. All in all, if your going to invest in a vaporizer look around and make sure you are getting the best vape to suit your needs at the best price. I couldn't stress enough on how much better ceramic is than aluminum.

Iv tried both and personally ya if you can afford the volcano get it, it will be a great purchase in the long run, Plus it better for when there is peeps over cause the bag can go further than the whip. And iv burned the shit outta my hands a couple of time on the heating element on the vapor bros
