Tinctures and edibles are like eating heroin IMO. Might be good for chronic illnesses but for anxiety and PTSD I still need to function.

I've had 3 of the premium vapourisers, the Vapezilla (when still US made), the Herbalizer (just broke within 2 hours, they wouldn't honour warranty as outside US, so blew $1000 on a paperweight 
) and now the digital Volcano.
The Volcano is, by a distance, the best of them. All parts are replaceable, shipping is free from the manufacturer. I use the solid valve and make my own bags (badly).
It's not necessary to have the digital read out, but if you are using for medicinal purposes, then it's nice to know exactly what temperature the effects you want vapourise at. Me, I just like getting lean

Digital volcano has an automatic timer shutoff, classic does not.
For less than $200 for a good desk top vape I'd look at 7th floor vapes. They sell blemished units at a discount. They have a life sabor, da budda, and the silver surfer vapes. The silver surfer costs $160 as a blem, the others are less.
I have a volcano, a great vape, but now days a bit dated. A silver surfer tastes just as good and is a lot more efficient. I have both but only bring out the volcano when I have company.
Another fairly resonable desktop are the log vapes. Priced about $200, but you can find used or discounts at times. It's basically a little heater covered with wood. The wood holds some heat and looks great. You use a small stem to load and hit from. They also can be mated to glass, like most vapes now days. Popular brands are epic vape, and underdog.
I have four vapes in total, a epic vapes enano, a 7th floor silver surfer, a S&B volcano, and a portable S&B mighty. My main everyday driver is the silver surfer, my portable is the mighty, I keep the enano at my bed side for quick hits from time to time. And like I said the volcano comes out in a crowd and works very well like this.

If you are thinking of buying a K-Vape from KandyPens, listen to my tale of woe first.
On the morning of 2/17/16, I ordered a K-Vape from KandyPens and was promised shipment on the next business day.
When this did not transpire, I made several futile attempts to contact KandyPens, at which point I contacted their local Better Business Bureau and made a complaint.
Miraculously, several hours after the complaint was lodged, the unit was shipped and I got some belated email from them.
Flash forward to 2/22/16 when my K-Vape arrived, I plugged it in to charge and came back several hours later to find a unit which, I assumed, was fully charged.
I used the unit and, admittedly, it worked pretty good - for about 2 hours or so then the power gave out.
I plugged the unit in and let it charge for over 15 hours but the "fully charged" light never came on and the pen wouldn't work.
I contacted customer support and got a letter from Karris suggesting I let it charge overnight. I replied that I had done so.
She replied and told me to send the unit back, which I did on 2/24/16 (at a cost of $2.60), and a new unit would be sent.
Furthermore in another email, she told me my replacement unit would be sent out by "the end of the week" (2/26/16) which did not occur.
I tried, to no avail, to contact KandyPens, leaving me no other option than to contact my credit card company and dispute the charge of almost $90.
So, if you have $90 burning a hole in your pocket, think twice before dealing with KandyPen.
I'm out $91.51, I have no vape unit and I'm very pissed off.
KandyPens has repeatedly lied to me, sent me a defective K-Vape and won't respond to emails.
The K-Vape is supposedly covered by a "lifetime guaranty", which is one reason I bought it, but so far, they seem unwilling to honor it.

Put a ceramic heating element inside a male downstem and hook it up to a light dimmer, then get a female to male adapter and put a screen in it for a bowl.

I never wanted to spend the crazy money demanded on volcanos either, I thought their balloon method was patended but apparantly not? - http://www.buy-vaporizer.co.uk/top-vapor-digital-balloon-vaporizer.html it seems like this uses the same method

I have a basic box vape with whip. Less than $50. Set it to 372F & take a draw.
My lungs are fried after a flu/asthma attack that put me in hospital, but I can vape and not even cough.

A bit late for this reply but maybe it helps someone else...
When the digital model came out I got to talk to mr. storz or bickel (can't remember the name) at a canna show.
He told me that beside the obvious differences the main difference in the function is that the classic volcano can just heat or not heat.
While the digital model can heat a lot or just a little. So when the digital model approaches the target temp it lowers the heating power not to overshoot the temp.
So the digital model can maintain the temperature more stable than the classic model.

I've had one of these DaVincis for a month or so by now, and getting more comfortable with each use,
its an old model but cheap and
yeah my bf think it looks like a cb radio or some such, its reduced my weed consumption by 50%...
yippee with no loss in quality or volume,
I'm thinking I could get by with 50% less plants hence 'work' ...lol
Tho the non portable models seem grand, with this 'work radio' I can toke on a london bus should I choose ...very cool
I should have gotten one years ago, unit holds about 250mg of bud, tiny but does the job
cheers

I agree amanda. The cb radio thing makes it very stealthy.
It gives steamy hot communications. j/k
I got to try this model with friends a while ago. It works good.
Considering the price it is a great vaporizer that exactly fits the thread title.
