@artmann you can find them for cheaper.  I haven’t checked alibongo yet but like @monkeydo said they are cheaper than the 700. The cheapest I’ve seen the Volcano Hybrid was 590 online. 

Wow that's a lot, I didn't realise it was that much. Now my opinion is different lol probably going to be unpopular amongst volcano owners now. The volcano is a good vape but its not good for the cost. Actually its no even competitive. The best ball vapes are better in every way.

The reason I say this is you can get as good and better quality vapor for much less money. Also the ritual of how to use the volcano takes a bit of getting used to. If you specifically wanted to buy a volcano to use it with a bag or a whip, its possible to set that up with any of the ball vapes.

Compared to the ritual of using a ball vape with a bubbler or pipe. Its not that much different from smoking and the vapor is close to dab density.

All of these will give vapor that is at least as flavorful and dense as the volcano for less money.

  • The cheapest high quality vape is a butane powered elev8r. Vapor quality is better than the volcano. However its less precise and much harder to use. £55+ a bong. $63.
  • The cheapest ball vapes cost around £200 $229. Taroma lite, ceroma, or £300 for flowerpot b0
  • Taroma 2.0 is around £325, 
  • Qaroma is £340 and you can't get any better tasting vapor. So IMO this is the best choice.
  • Qaroma and Taroma xl is about £500

Actually I can think of 1 reason to buy a volcano over a ball vape. That's if you have kids or pets, if you can't think of a way to keep it away from them so they can't get burnt or start a fire then a volcano is definitely a better choice

Another edit: if you specifically want to use a whip then instead of converting a bong + ball vape to use a whip.

You can get a whip style desktop such as a ditanium for about £260 $300. This would be safer than a ball vape

@woodi2 lol yea I know the feeling. Up until a couple of months ago I was firmly under my vape rock. I'd been using a dynavap with a bong for years. I also had a arizer eq that I didnt use much because it was just such a pain in the ass to use. 

I liked vaping before I got a ball vape now i absolutely swear by it

Cheapest I have seen the volcano hybrids here in aus is $850aud. It's a fair chunk of change tbf, but I also have a arizer desktop and the vapor quality of the volcano puts the arizer to shame. For me it's ease of use and quality vape that keeps me using it. 

I feel like a, like a slice of butter... melting on top of a big-ol' pile of flapjacks... yeah.

Its all about personal preference with vapes now. There's so many choices that give really high quality vapor, but function completely differently so the experience can be night and day between different vapes.

I think the best way to choose a vape is shortlist all the best like I did above and then decide what your style is and figure out whatever other reasons you do or don't want them.

Also I don't want anyone to think I'm hating on the volcano. Its great but if I had to buy a vape today I'd pass on the volcano for any of the other options I listed is what I'm trying to say. For something like the qaroma its so good that I'd pay volcano hybrid prices if I had to lol

@notbot completely understand, the price has to be justifiable and the last thing you want is to spend all that coin and then not enjoy it. Everyone has different preferences too, if I was wanting to do just dabs or concentrates I would be looking at things like the puffco rigs. Again price is a major factor, you want to know if you spend the coin it's going to be worth the investment.

Nice thread to read through.  I went retro when i got a vape and ended up wuth a DynaVap on my 2nd try.  Simple, reliable, no batteries.  The Magic Flight Box that was my 1st took a flight into the bin after a few attempts.  Very awkward and I kept thinking I was going to break that little glass tube. 

If i vaped more I might want something else, but I turn mine into edible forms.  I will vape new flower to try it out as it takes a day or so to make infused butter or dark chocolate.

@davetg01 unfortunatley with the market for vapes as it is it can be understandably difficult for people new to vaping to get their heads around and more than a few units are cumbersome and convoluted. Some of the best units on the market are simple and easy to use but also come with a hefty price tag. I own a mighty, a pax3, a flowermate wix a volcano hybrid and just picked up a Dr dabber switch. Only one of those vapes is under $500aud being the pax3 and I am not a fan of it but the wife uses it daily. Personally i only use the mighty or my flowermate wix pen while out and about for discreet on the move use, if I'm at home its the volcano or the dabber switch because they are top shelf units and achieve much better vape experience than portable units, plus the taste is unreal. My cousin has a dynavap and swears by it, i have tried them a few times and find them good bits of kit although they do require a torch or a separate induction heater and hot damn don't touch that cap lol but they are very popular units and more than do the job, I just haven't felt the need to fork out for one yet although most likely will in the future.

Yep, it can be speedy, and in the end personal preference makes it hard to make hands down recommendations. I’ve spent around $1700 (US) on dry herb vapes, about $500 in the bin!

Dynavap with FMJ has its place in our household. Had a Utillian, it worked good enough for me to know I luv vaping and need to find something better, it’s in the bin! Then I got a crafty+, luv it. Other than the price, and maybe battery life, I’ve not read any bad reviews! Then I needed a home rig, enter the flowerpot (ball vape), fucking A- it kicks arse, expensive, but as close to smoking as you’ll get vaping! Then I purchased the Tinymight for the wife, mainly cuz of the one hit mode, we both hate it (would probably like it if we wernt comparing it to the crafty+), ended up buying her a crafty+, happy wife, happy life.    I’d throw the tinymight away, other than spending $300+ on it Neutral  , I just ordered a WPA for it, I’m just gonna use it with a bong for a quickie, if I don’t want to turn on the flowerpot. Comparing to the crafty, it was harder to draw, and not as tasty!

Honor is simply the morality of superior men.

@davetg01 I almost bought a magic flight box back in 2018, glad I didn't lol I'd probably still be smoking. I instead got a dynavap which I liked but I was using it with a bong trying to get the heaviest hits I could, it worked but i found the airflow to be a bit restrictive. About a year ago I decided to upgrade my dynavap by getting a titanium tip and the new captive cap. This improved the vape but the airflow was still an issue so it was a waste of money.

What I should have bought was a torch powered elev8r. Its more difficult to use than a dynavap but would've been the appropriate upgrade and it doesn't break the bank I think its about $120 from vgoodies with the torch included, just need a bong.

Or theres the pid powered elv8r for about $300 but for that money you can get a taroma lite or a flowerpot b0 which is what I'd recommend. It doesn't hit quite as hard the b2 or taroma xl but even the lite versions of these types of vape are in a different league compared to all others.

Crafty and mighty are considered the best portables by many.

There's also whip type vapes that are very good such as the silver surfer or ditanium if that's more your style.

Everything else is nothing special imo
