After receiving the Volcano Vaporizer in the mail, the first question that popped into our heads was, “What the fuck is this?” Turns out it’s a $500 heating machine that gets “herbs” warm enough to emit their magical properties without combusting them into smoke and creating all the bad shit being on fire brings. Remember Kik from the 1970s? Me neither but apparently it’s the same basic thing.
The whole machine is a little confusing to set up at first. You have this empty bag that has to be affixed to an adaptor thingie that has to be plugged upside down to the heater engine and this can only happen when the green light indicates the temperature is perfect. Sounds like the stuff of non-drug users but once you go through the instructions, it’s a cinch.After the bag is full of light gray smoke, you remove it from the heater and start sucking. Be careful though, like a brand new motorbike on a newly-paved road, it’s hard to tell how fast you’re going. Most people were surprised to blow out a giant cloud of smoke where they thought nothing had gone in. High-wise the vaporizer feels like doing a tenth of a hit of acid if there was no such things as bad trips and your brother owned a beer company. It was a body buzz with a heavy dose of hilarious laughs and none of the fuzzy raunchiness you get from smoking joints. That’s why the $500 doesn’t seem so bad. The buzz is $500 better than smoking a joint. Besides, everything cooks so efficiently the amount you’d put into a small pipe can get five people wrecked out of their fucking minds.
In closing we’d like to say we thoroughly enjoyed our experience with the volcano and on a scale of 1 to 10 we’d give it a ¢§•§.

I just went and checked out the web-site. I like how you can upgrade, at over 800 bucks, to the Volcano w/ digital read out and automatic switch off. I think that automatic switch off is a nice feature on an appliance that generates that kinda heat whilst getting stoned.

Is that Melissa Auf Der Maur?

I really really want one of these. Weed is giving me a smoker’s hack. You guys seem like you’re psychically tuned into all my problems but I can’t afford one of these units right now. FUCK. I’d do anything for a free Volcano Vaporizer. I’m seriously crying right now.

You can get vaporizers way cheaper than that ($50), its just a soldering iron with a glass bulb and tube. I’m sure if you were really invested in the idea you could make your own.
