Hot Box Vaporizer Vs The Volcano

Hello all. I did a little research on vaporizors and finally purchased a nice "Hot Box" fossil stone vaporizor. It cost me less that $200 and that was the main selling point as I could not see paying $600 for a Volcano. It burns nice and I have no complaints. WHY WOULD ANYONE PAY 3X MORE FOR A VOLCANO? IS IT WORTH IT??

Thanks, mucho. I may still pick up a Volcano if someone was to convince me that they are truly the shittttttt

i have a older style volcano, and i love mine. i have a few homemade vaps and the volcano is 100x better. haveing said that ive never tried anything but my volcano and my homemades, so cant really say if any better than what youve got.

right-on. I appreciate your opinion. That is what I am hoping to get - everyone's opinion. But, can you be more descriptive as to WHY the Volcano is "100x better" as you put it? I've heard the Volcano is superior, but exactly why do you think it's superior? Thanks, again.

well my homemade vaps do not have any adjustments, just on or off. it impossible to get it to burn right, so you spend the biggest part of the time your high turning it on and off. major buzz killer. you have no idea how many times i have cooked the hell outa my pot cuz i forgot it was on.
and with the bags you can make 1 hell of a lung hitter.
the biggest down side i can see with volcanos are the size. kinda hard to hide.

I just got my volcano last week. I absolutley love it. But, I've also never used anything else except homemade vaporizers.
I love how you can just walk around with a bag and chill or pass it around or whatever and it won't like, burn away like a joint or something.
Plus it comes with a 3 year warranty, so that's always nice.

oh, i forgot to mention how ridiculously easy it is to just fill up bag after bag all damn day. I love it.

I got one of those box ones a while ago, maybe two months or so. It worked pretty well, and I enjoyed vaping out of it.

It is similar to this one:




A couple of days ago I went to turn it on and the digital part doesn't work at all, basically the thing is completely dead after like two months of use. Such crap, I wasted like $150 on it.

that sucks. Mine is similar to that. No controls, though. Just on and off.

I enjoyed it, but sometimes I just felt like I had to suck and suck and suck to get a good hit and sometimes I would overcompensate and hit it too hard or whatever, it was weird.

I guess that is the appeal of the Volcano, it perfectly vaporizes everything, and then u just effortlessly toke out of a bag.

What kinda smoke do you get with your box?

With my box I just need to take a long, even draw for the best hit. I can see the white misty vapors as they travel up my whip. If I slow the drag down, the hit I get is more rich. A quick draw on the whip and the hit is not as rich. I regulate my draw by how it feels on my lungs. A vapor hit feels very "heavy" in comparison to smoke and a big hit will kinda "pinch" the top of my lungs at my throat. Too much vapor chokes me all to tears.....

Anyways, I'm gonna try to vapor fresh bud and see if I even need to dry my bud before enjoying it

yeah, the Volcano is so much easier.
I'm glad I don't have a box.

I have been looking at the blue meanie

Seems like I seen it on a banner from this site originally.
I want to say it was around 60.0 usd. (the one I saw)

I found it at Rhinogifts\\ I just seen the banner again.

i prefer the volcano, used alot of others and never been as high as i ws from a volcano

i have no clue cause i dont own one but from what i have heard from freidns that have used them they are pretty good and the hit it gives u is good

I just got mine and it works great. I have never used the volcano.. but i can control the temp and get results....

Sorry dude, that's not a Hot Box. My Mom-in-law got one of those like a month ago and the heating element is so weak you can only take 1 drag every few minutes because the temp dives from the air movement. I hope yours is better.

mine doesnt have that problem

I am going to sing the joy of the Super Vapezilla vaporizer. I can't imagine anything better. I was really torn between that and the volcano. When you are spending that much money you have to do your homework. I went with the digital version. I usually start at about 270F and work my way up to 440F. The big difference was that I didn't want to be bothered with bags and valves. I mostly vape with just myself & wife so no need for the party bag concept. It has to be the most efficient way to get my meds. I have been using mine for about a year and I love it. When you get to be my age (51) you have to take your pleasure where you find it. It does everything it was advertised to do and it does it well. I think any type of vaporizer has the ability to get the job done, some better than others. It isn't how you are vapeing, it is are you vapeing? Good stuff! The other thing is that I save all the used material and make honey oil with it. I use FDD's method and it works great. A little spent material + some trim = AAA grade Honey oil.

ok so i have owned both of the volc. and the HB and in my opinion the HB is way better for THE PRICE...i mean if you have 500 bucks laying around then by all means go for the Volcano...but if your a broke ass((like most stoners)) then the hot box is a great deal. The only issue i have has with the HB over the volcano is that the HB kinda shits in your mouth if you dont prepare it jjjuuusssttt right lol.
