I concur with CO high, I have been using the EQ by Arizer for about 2-3 years now and it is absolutely a savior unit. It was one of the best purchases I've ever made. It takes a little bit to get used to all the different functions and necessities ,and there is some subtleties with the unit, such as having to clean the elbow screens with alcohol so they didn't get clogged ( I had to order more to have a bunch in the rotation). The vapor quality is high, and I could not imagine spending 600$ for a Volcano when I could have the EQ for ~150-200$.
You experiment with different vaping temperatures based on the bud, how much its been cured, and its moisture content. You don't want to exceed 200 C for health reasons, personally I run my EQ at 195 C in general. I pack my cyclone bowl up to the black heat tape. If the element is already hot to 195 C, then I pack the herbs and wait about 1-2 minutes for the oils to start propagating. This way the first hit is plentiful, and so on and so forth. I prefer the whip for convenience, however the integrated fan and bag system is a great addition! I love having a remote control with it too. So in my opinion, it's the price difference between a Volcano and EQ that is astronomically worth it.
Some other notes, after much use with the whip, the crude cannabis oil will begin to condense and flow through the whip, and at some point needs to be pumped out and cleared using water.
Other than that, I am super satisfied with my unit, and I will continue to puff it for a long long time, in fact and I am going to load a bowl right now.
Feel free to ask anymore questions you have, I'm sure we can get them answered.
