Curious what others have found when transitioning to a vaporizer. Been a flower bong smoker for 3 ish years and the hockers got to be too much.

Got the arizer xq2 yesterday and have been enjoying the lack of black phlegm but the high is much headdier as opposed to body of the traditional bong.

Vapor sneaks up on you lol, being able to blow it directly in with the fan is nice too. Haven’t fucked with the bags yet as it seems a little much. Been treating lungs as the bags with that fan honestly

What were your experiences/thoughts when going to a vape?

    Really would like to transition, but a volcano is still 300-350 euro in my country. I know it’s a premium vape but yeah I would like to use this bad boy atleast a few years.

    If any fellow toker can recommend a good cheaper alts, then that would be appreciated.

      Sure im happy to help you out.

      Arizer vtower is a good budget desktop vape similar in form to volcano though obviously not comparable beyond basic shape and some functions. You can get it on sale around 90$USD. Go a little more for arizer EQs to get blower motor for balloons, kind of gimmicky in my experience.

      Dynavap is a non-electronic dry herb vape with good entry level options. Their cheapest model is 40$. You can heat it with lighter, torch, or induction heater. The all metal ones will probably last you a lifetime.

      Vaphit is Chinese knockoff dynavap you can get from vape sellers like vgoodiez. They make cheap all glass stuff heated with torch and a knockoff metal m for like 20-30$.

      I’ve owned a volcano for over a decade. Aside from the novelty at parties, it doesn’t get used. I don’t think I’ve even gotten it out in 4-5 years.

        Did you go back to smoking, or a different vape? I know some ppl that only consume through vaping (Volcano) so I still think it’s viable, but then again I don’t own one.

          Certainly viable. It’s a taste/preference issue. Everything tastes slightly of overcooked popcorn, and it’s a bit of a hassle to set up just for one person (though I think I’ve seen individual size ‘bowls’ for it recently).

          Maybe borrow one from a friend to see if you really like it before spending that much.

          I went back to water filtered.

      Invest in a ball vape before a volcano. I got a knockoff terp hammer from b2cvape on aliexpress.
