:o

The reason i love my vape so much is that i can hit my glass indoors and not stink/skunk up the place with smoke and ash. I love the process of getting high just as much as being high bongsmilie

i use my $140 (maybe less) Vaporite vaporizer with the whip at 310-320 degrees, .2-.3 of bud gives me at least 10-15 pulls of tasty head rushing vapor...then it starts to smell like burnt popcorn when its finished and turns a dark brown color..usually just throw it away
Thats probably too low of a temp for cannabis. Depending on the source, THC is said to boil/vaporize at about 320 or 365 which means if your vaporizer is hitting 320 its barely heating the cannabis up enough.

According to a wiki page you need to have a vaporizer set as high as about 415 degrees in order to get the 3 main Cannabinoids THC, CBN, and CBD. I run my volcano at about 395 (volcano 7) most of the time which would handle .2g of cannabis in 3 bags tops, but now I'm testing out 374 (volcano 6) and finding that it can take 4-5 bags but is less harsh and still seems to get all the goodies out (if I do 4-5 bags at 6 and then a 7 bag it will have nothing in it).

Just to see what I get from going 320 like you I'm going to set it to 3.5 and see where that goes. But I'm pretty sure the first time I got the volcano I set it to 3 or 4 and barely got anything at all.

PS: So you are using a chamber/whip vaporizer and not a fan/airpump vaporizer? That could make the difference because if the herb is heated by metal contact and air suction and not just hot air (like a volcano and others) then the herb could get hotter and even a bit more burnt which would make up for the lower temp. *Even my iolite portable handheld vaporizer is auto set to maintain 365 I believe which they said is best for cannabis

I had a siezure two days ago while smoking :) I was hitting BONG. all the sudden head started shaking and I smacked the BONG into my face giving me a bloody nose Which Snapped me out of Shaking.. Almost blacked out. I think It was Oxygen Deprivation
definitely more head rushes during vaping....
I've had such a hardcore headrush from vaping I literally fell down on my back....

I suppose its possible, but you must have hit it REALLY hard to have blacked out. How much herb and for how long were you holding your breath?

Just tested volcano at 320 (3.5 volcano setting) didn't see any vapor at all (ok just took a hit with vapor and could barely see it, i think I was blowing it into an area with too much light and couldn't see it. But I'm still pretty sure 315-320 isn't a very good temp to vape cannabis at.

well heres the difference, your volcano coasts over half a grand and my box coast a quarter of that...the vaporite i have isnt so precise with its temps , im pretty sure its hotter than what it actually reads, if i go over 320-330ish, there's basically no such thing as vapor anymore, only smoke....what im getting at it, the volcano is right and cheap wooden box vapes are just plain cheap.
